Resting in the coastal town of Porthmadog, Gwynedd is 3 Pensyflog Barns, a delightful, four-bedroom cottage.
Within walking distance of the beach and a hub of amenities, whilst a car journey away from the Eryri National Park, 3 Pensyflog Barns offers a homely base with a contemporary feel, complete with flexible sleeping arrangements, an enclosed garden, and elevated countryside views.
Park up on the shared driveway and make your way, on foot, to your stone-fronted dwelling.
Be greeted by the well-equipped kitchen, complete with all the necessary appliances for a self-catered stay, where you can rustle up meals to be enjoyed around the formal dining table; on warmer days, set the patio table and dine alfresco with the sunshine above.
Retreat to the living/dining room to unwind after a busy day exploring North Wales, with plush seating to sink into and a Smart TV for entertainment.
Complete your nightly routine in either the sleek shower room, or indulge in a soak in the main bathroom, ahead of sloping off to sleep in one of four bedrooms on offer; select between a king-size with Smart TV and a bunk room on the first floor, and two further king-size bedrooms on the second floor, one which benefits from a Smart TV and PlayStation 4.
With plenty to see and do, 3 Pensyflog Barns is set conveniently near the Maritime Museum, Borth y Gest Beach, and the Black Rock Llamas attraction, along with a selection of cafes, convenience stores and pubs to take advantage of.
The stunning Black Rock Sands is the ultimate beach, with watersports, caves, rock pools, multi-coloured headlands, and a sandy seaside for building your sand castles with the little ones, this Site of Special Scientific Interest is sure to be a favourite amongst your group.
Be sure to pop into Y Sgwar, an award-winning, family-friendly restaurant; serving local and seasonal produce, you may want to book ahead, before tucking into a meal with your loved ones.
If you’re after a drink, make your way to The Australia, home of the Purple Moose Brewery and ideal for taste-testing some local ales; there’s even a good choice of bar food for when you get peckish.
For a stylish bar, ideal for any gin drinker, you can find The Golden Fleece Inn; another award winner, this bar is home to a beer garden for the sunnier months and another quality restaurant to dine at.
A truly unique day can be enjoyed at the Italianate village of Portmeirion, just a scenic drive away, known for its picture-perfect architecture and village design created by Welsh architect Clough Williams-Ellis.
Travel into the National Park to follow the wealth of walking trails and cycling routes in the region, aiming south towards the Harlech coastline, where you can also tour the local castle, stroll along the beach, and tour the Llanfair Slate Caverns.
Reroute north to discover the magnificent Caernarfon Castle, practise your swing at Caernarfon Golf Club, or enjoy a picnic at Gypsy Wood Park, with Anglesey and its abundance of attractions higher up.
All of this awaits at 3 Pensyflog Barns.
