    “We were generally very happy during our stay.”

    The stairs were a little awkward for my wife who has limited mobility, but she preferred to sleep upstairs to be near the loo at night time. Facilities were great: very efficient central heating, and an imposing looking washing machine! It would have been nice to have a SkyQ box and LG TV like we have at home - the JVC TV is rather dated, and I'm not sure I'd call it "Smart". It resolutely ignores the YouTube and NetFlix button on the remote, but I did eventually figure out how to ...

    The stairs were a little awkward for my wife who has limited mobility, but she preferred to sleep upstairs to be near the loo at night time. Facilities were great: very efficient central heating, and an imposing looking washing machine! It would have been nice to have a SkyQ box and LG TV like we have at home - the JVC TV is rather dated, and I'm not sure I'd call it "Smart". It resolutely ignores the YouTube and NetFlix button on the remote, but I did eventually figure out how to reliably access these services. Hint: go to the counter-intuitively named Android Home Page and all will be well. We're both nearly 70, and it would have been nice to find a teapot. I'm guessing that's a generation thing? Do young folks these days just dunk tea bags in mugs? The only real divergence from the published property details is "a small yard area with picnic bench and a distant coastal view". Really? We couldn't find that, unless you're talking about the small bench by the front door. However, these are all minor quibbles. We were very comfortable at Bryn Coed, and would definitely stay there again if in the area. The property is clean, well maintained, deservedly popular and very close to the heritage steam railway. My wife (who is unexpectedly turning into a steam engine fanatic!) is missing the place already.

The property

Bryn Coed is a delightful, semi-detached cottage set in the heart of Porthmadog, just a gentle stroll from a wealth of amenities.

It is bright and well-presented, offering an excellent base for families looking to tour the Llyn Peninsula and Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.

In renovating the cottage, the owners have gone to great lengths to ensure a pleasant and airy interior.

The sitting room makes a great spot to unwind in the evening, with two leather sofas and a Smart TV, you can easily switch off after a day of action-packed adventures.

This room is also home to a dining area, where you can sit and enjoy your home-cooked meals prepared in the well-equipped kitchen.

When the evening draws to a close, the master bedroom features a king-size bed and ample storage, whilst the downstairs you can find a family room with double and single bed, making Bryn Coed perfect for families.

There is also a bathroom with a bath and shower over (restricted headroom), so you can decide how best to spend to prepare for the day.

Take a seat at the picnic bench, resting in the small yard at the front of the cottage, this is a great spot for moments in the sunshine.

Porthmadog is an excellent base for a holiday, offering a plethora of restaurants, pubs and quirky cafés, along with independent shops and convenience stores for grabbing any essentials.

Discover wonderful beaches at Black Rock Sands and idyllic coves and bays around the harbour at Borth Y Gest.

Porthmadog is also home to the Ffestiniog Railways - hop on a train and see the slate mines at Llechwedd, traveling through some breath-taking scenery, or take a Sherpa bus to the foot of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), going through the pretty village of Beddgelert.

In reach of Anglesey, the Llyn Peninsula and Eryri (Snowdonia), Bryn Coed is a fabulous place to stay in Wales.

About the location

PORTHMADOG

Harlech 5 miles; Caernarfon 19 miles.

The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog lies on the Glaslyn Estuary and enjoys a stunning setting. The gateway to the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, Porthmadog is full of individual shops and restaurants, and home to the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland railway where you can travel by steam through spectacular Eryri (Snowdonia) scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog or Caerforn . The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk or drive from the town. The well known and unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is just down the coast. Situated on a rugged clifftop on its own private peninsula, Portmeirion, famous as the location of the TV show The Prisoner and the final episode of Cold Feet, is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and woodlands. The area also boasts castles at Criccieth and Harlech, and superb unspoilt beaches such as Black Rock Sands, where the sands stretch as far as the eye can see. Also within reach is the famous Zip World Slate Caverns and Bounce Below where you can get involved with a variety of activities including the thrilling zip wires and underground caverns to explore; there is something here to suit the whole family. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.

Note - 2 dogs welcome £20 per pet per stay
