Accessibility
The cottage is over 200 years old and as such, access through doors and tight stairs makes it difficult for disabled guests.
Outside
To the front of the cottage there is a rustic bench overlooking the mountains which makes it a perfect spot to finish the day with a glass of wine. There are several public footpaths immediately accessible from the cottage. The rear terrace contains a high bank therefore young children will need to be monitored.
Coast/Beach
Porthmadog, a delightful harbour town and Harlech, famous for its castle and beautiful stretch of golden sands are easily reached by car in 20 mins. Borth-y-Gest and Criccieth on the southern side of LLyn peninsula are 2 delightful seaside villages which are unspoilt by the progress of time: both are mins away from Porthmadog.

Guest comments
'An absolute gem. Thanks for letting us stay in this beautiful cottage' Rob, Carol, Ben and Ned. Solihull.
'There is so much to see and do. We loved Harlech and the children enjoyed crabbing in Porthmadog. The steam train ride on our last day was a great end to our thoroughly enjoyable week. We recommend the open carriage! Iain, Sarah, Emily and Adam, New Brighton.
