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.
