    “Charming cottage which has a lovely feel to it.”

    Off road parking, peaceful location but we were there in Feb so may differ if busy. The garden backs onto a green. 1 mile from all the main shops in Portmadog. Lovely coastal walk from the house. Would stay here again

The property

Porthmadog 1.2 miles.

Set in the scenic coastal village of Borth-y-Gest, this holiday retreat offers an excellent base for those keen to explore the outdoors.

From the doorstep, you can join coastal paths that meander past secluded coves, sandy beaches, and expansive estuary views—ideal for brisk autumn walks, refreshing winter outings, or leisurely summer strolls. Walkers are spoilt for choice.

The Moel-y-Gest trail, rising just behind the village, rewards with sweeping views, while the coastal path across The Cob leads to the captivating Italianate village of Portmeirion.

A little further on, the vast sands of Black Rock unfold dramatically, and a short drive brings you to the heart of Snowdonia National Park, where adventures range from gentle family walks to the challenge of climbing iconic peaks such as Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa and Cnicht. Families will find plenty to enjoy, with activities to suit all ages and energy levels.

Try kayaking or paddleboarding on the Glaslyn Estuary, or explore cycling routes like Lon Ardudwy and the Mawddach Trail.

For thrill-seekers, adventure parks such as Zip World and GreenWood Family Park offer excitement, while quieter days might include discovering history at Criccieth Castle, browsing the artistic lanes of Portmeirion, or taking a nostalgic ride on the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway. After a day of exploration, return to a welcoming base where you can relax, warm up after time outdoors, enjoy hearty meals, and plan the next day’s outing—whether it’s scaling a mountain, visiting a castle, or finding a peaceful beach along the coast.

With direct access to coastal paths, a wide range of nearby attractions, and some of Wales’ most stunning landscapes close at hand, this is a comfortable retreat for all seasons.

About the location

BORTH-Y-GEST

Porthmadog 1.2 miles; Criccieth 6 miles.

Borth-y-Gest is a quiet Welsh seaside village of mainly Victorian houses retaining much charm and character. Located by the mouth of the River Glaslyn, and a short drive away from the Italian styled village of Portmeirion, this pretty Welsh village has stunning panoramic views over the sands and estuary to the historic Harlech Castle and the Snowdonia National Park beyond. This North Wales village has two bistros and a coffee lounge all located on the front overlooking the bay and all with dog-friendly outdoor seating areas; perfect places to while away the hours watching the comings and goings of the local boatmen. Borth-y-Gest, with its sheltered coves and sandy beaches, has walking in abundance; why not head up Moel-y-Gest or take a wander over the headland to the famous Black Rock Sands, or go a little further afield where the vast Snowdonia National Park awaits? For a day out you can take a trip on the famous Ffestiniog Steam Railway and Welsh Highland Railway from Porthmadog, only a 15 minutes' walk away, or for those with younger children why not visit the shorter but more child-focussed Welsh Highland Heritage Railway? For a day trip the entire Llyn Peninsula calls. With Anglesey within reach and the whole North Wales coast with the Wales Coast Path to be explored, Borth-y-Gest has it all: a quiet bolt hole but conveniently located for ease of access to this stunning area, a must at any time of the year.
