    “Wow, what a gem - this is the perfect property with amazing sea views.”

    The house is light and spacious with high ceilings and generous sized rooms. The kitchen has good facilities for cooking meals and there is a convenient garden barbecue grill. We found Tesco's is easy to get to a few miles away in Portmadog. The seven in our party slept really well on comfortable beds. It is just a short walk to the beach, promenade and castle - the locals we met were very friendly and welcoming to us. Alwefryn is so relaxing that on some days we hardly went out, with the kids ...

    The house is light and spacious with high ceilings and generous sized rooms. The kitchen has good facilities for cooking meals and there is a convenient garden barbecue grill. We found Tesco's is easy to get to a few miles away in Portmadog. The seven in our party slept really well on comfortable beds. It is just a short walk to the beach, promenade and castle - the locals we met were very friendly and welcoming to us. Alwefryn is so relaxing that on some days we hardly went out, with the kids enjoying games, sea views and the hot tub. Great house to use as a base for visiting the usual - Beddgelert, Sygun copper mine, Port Meirion, trips on Welsh Highland railways and Caernarfon Castle. Walking up Snowdon from Pen-Y-Pas was enjoyable and exhausting but we recommend booking the car park space. Will be back next year.

Enjoying a superb location just moments away from the beach, and enjoying exceptional sea and castle views, Awelfryn is a fantastic choice for couples, friends and families and is the ideal home for all.

The property benefits from parking and a nice front, back and rear garden to choose from, ideal for evenings spent dining alfresco whilst some members of the family soak in the luxury hot tub.

Be welcomed into the spacious sitting room, featuring a lovely outlook of the sea, where you can relax on the sumptuous seating in front of the gas fire, as your favourite show plays out on the TV.

Just off the kitchen is a handy utility for your convenience.

Completing the ground floor is a sleek bathroom, where you can freshen up under the overhead shower or with a soak in the small bath after an adventure-filled day.

Nearby, you’ll find Black Rock Sands, home to a gorgeous beach, the Greenacres Nature Reserve, and the popular Black Rock Sands Beach Club, serving award-winning cask ales, cocktail and wines, as well as a tasty seasonal menu.

Continue onto Porthmadog, where you can hop aboard the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, tour the Maritime Museum, dine at The Port Café Deli & Restaurant, The Australia, sample local ales at the Purple Moose Brewery, or venture into the Snowdonia National Park, where you will find a wealth of scenic hiking and cycling trails.

Often described as the 'Pearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia’, this delightful seaside town is situated just 5 miles from Porthmadog. The town’s 13th-century castle perches majestically on a rocky outcrop, dominating the skyline and offering superb views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. Watersports enthusiasts will be delighted by the two beaches, whilst walkers and bikers are spoilt for choice by the proximity of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Stroll along the beaches, watch porpoises playing in the surf, or relax in the various pubs, restaurants and tea rooms, sampling the famous Cadwalader’s ice cream. Further afield, attractions such as Portmeirion’s wonderful Italianate gardens, the Ffestiniog railway in Porthmadog, Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle and the beautiful beaches and renowned golf courses of the Llyn Peninsula are all within an easy drive.
