“What an absolute treasure St Agnes is (this was our 4th visit!”
)
From our very first visit we were captivated by its charm and breathtaking views that greet you as soon as you walk through the door. This historic Pilot’s Cottage is right on the water’s edge and has so much character, brimming with quirky, unique features, yet with all the modern facilities that make it feel like a “home away from home”.
The highlight, without a doubt, is the view over the bay. Words cannot properly do it justice - you need to go and see it for yourself! The view shifts with each passing tide and the colours of the sea and sky are ever changing; we were fortunate to see some incredible moonlit skies too and got some wonderful photos. Every time you glance outside the view is different, and just as mesmerising as the last. It genuinely does not feel real and we found ourselves constantly drawn to it - it took three attempts to put the kettle on one morning as we were watching a heron fishing on the incoming tide. The dining table is ideally situated to view this, but expect some very leisurely meals!
The house has everything you might need during your holiday, from a well equipped kitchen, garden with chairs and a barbecue to a huge power shower; with shops (and excellent fish and chips) just a couple of miles away in Porthmadog. It is a great mix of historic charm and modern convenience making it an excellent base for relaxing and exploring North Wales. If you enjoy boating, paddle boarding or swimming, the access to the water is great with the slipway at the end of the garden. I went in the water every day - it is beautifully clear, if a little cold.
The village of Borth - y - Gest is an incredibly well kept secret - peaceful, yet with SO much to explore nearby.
We’ve had another wonderful week here and booked again for next year as soon as we arrived home - and before we had unpacked!
St Agnes has truly stolen our hearts and we cannot wait to return - only 364 days to go!
We would highly, highly recommend St Agnes for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with a view that will leave you speechless!
Absolutely brilliant that you both had such a fabulous time in St.Agnes !!
Says it all that you are both returning again next year!
Thank you for all your amazing comments!!
