“The location of the house was perfect for walking down to the beaches or the harbour in Borth Y Gest with cafe and restaurants.”

Beautiful views from the windows and a large spacious tastefully decorated and very well equipped house. Short drive to Porthmadog and other places in this gorgeous part of Nirth Wales. A dream holiday place.

“Wonderful house and location and particularly suited to a mixed generation family holiday.”

We were grandparents holidaying with our 2 children and their young families of 2 babies, a 2 year old and a dog. Particularly practical were the enclosed gardens front and rear and all the different sitting areas both inside and out. All bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with enough space for travel cots. Kitchen was well equipped and also had plenty of cupboard space for all our food. The long length of the kitchen worked well for us as it meant several of us could use the kitchen at the same time without falling over one another! We were blessed with good weather so spent a lot of time at the beach and found it useful to have a decent beach within walking distance (about 15 minutes walk west along the coast path) where our granddaughter could happily dig in the sand. She also loved the playground just outside the back garden! Although space for 2 cars at the house, there was always space on the adjoining road for our third car.

“Overall very pleasant and enjoyable, and location is fantastic.”

We were disappointed with the bathrooms, the ground floor one, off the kitchen, being very cold even with the cental heating on, and its shower being overhead only. A hand-held shower head would be much better. Having a shower upstairs is incredibly difficult, due to the sloping ceiling over the bath. The hand-held shower head only works when at high pressure, so we were anxious about soaking the floor. For a four bedroom house, we felt that the overall bathroom provision, with such limitations, was completely inadequate. The windows in the children's bedroom have no locks, which could result in a fall onto the concrete path below. The blinds in that room are the only ones in the house that do not have safety chains, oddly, so they are dangerous for children. The kitchen has the main cooker, sink, fridge etc in the kichen area, and the hob in the dining area, which is very irritating.

“This cottage exceeded all expectations ,all furniture and fittings all to a high standard.”

Just sit back and enjoy the views.the hill from the sea front up to the cottage may be a little daunting for some but its worth it when you get there.already booked for next year..

“House was very clean and well set up - perhaps a second shower upstairs would have been useful, but it didn't stop the 6 of us sharing the facilities without problem.”

Views are to die for and the only suggestion would be for a bigger firepit in the garden - but that's just a nice to have. Apart from that it was fantastic. Thanks to the owners from all of us.

“The only thing I was disappointed with was.”

. . . I misunderstood how far I would have to walk to actually get onto a beach (to sit/walk a while on). I did read that we were close to the coastal path, but to get onto the beach required being on narrow paths /steep steps which weren’t suitable for my grandchild’s pushchair. Maybe a better description of the local terrain would help . We still enjoyed our holiday .

“A beautiful house with amazing views.”

The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need and well located in beautiful Borth y Gest. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and ideal for our special trip for Mum's 80th birthday.

The property

As you drive along the pretty half moon bay of Borth y Gest that holiday excitement will grow and Achipur will not disappoint!

A brilliant holiday house, stylish and bright with an easy flow, conducive to friends and family holidaying together - and the views are sublime! You will struggle to tear yourself away from soaking up the views from this fabulous house! Charming and picturesque the village has a bistro and cafe where you can watch the comings and goings of the local boatmen while enjoying a tasty bite to eat.

The coastal path is just a one minute walk from the house with a choice of sheltered coves and sandy beaches.

There are several other lovely beaches, also within walking distance, including Samson's Bay and Black Rock Sands. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area, wonderful walks, golfing, fishing and so much more.

Nearby Porthmadog with its harbour and steam railway is just a mile away and the superb Italianate village of Portmeirion is well worth a visit.

Further afield but easily reached are all the attractions of the Lleyn Peninsula and the Snowdonia National Park.

Whatever you choose to do you will make some truly magical memories here.
