    “Gorgeous cottage in a perfect location.”

    Good space, bedrooms were all a good size, games room a bonus. Lounge was very comfy and useful to have the Smart TV. Bathroom was great - perfect for showering after a beach day. Recommendations: Kitchen is well done but could do with some small pots and pans, and the fridge was a struggle for the week as it was very small for a family of four who didn't want to eat out all of the time. Pillows and bedding could do with refreshing (especially in the master bedroom - front top floor) ...

    Good space, bedrooms were all a good size, games room a bonus. Lounge was very comfy and useful to have the Smart TV. Bathroom was great - perfect for showering after a beach day. Recommendations: Kitchen is well done but could do with some small pots and pans, and the fridge was a struggle for the week as it was very small for a family of four who didn't want to eat out all of the time. Pillows and bedding could do with refreshing (especially in the master bedroom - front top floor). Also, in the warm weather, it would have been good to be able to open the windows as the house got quite stuffy. That said, it really is a fab cottage and it's an amazing location - our kids were thrilled to be so close to the park.

The property

The property Harbourside is a welcoming mid-terrace grade II listed cottage, directly adjacent to the harbour in the old part of Porthmadog. Harbourside is a three-storey base, ideal for friends and families wishing to relax and explore the treasures on offer along this beautiful coastline of North Wales. The cottage is well appointed, and is decorated and furnished in a homely style, providing everything you need for a comfortable stay, whether a short break or longer. You enter the property into a stylish sitting room, where you can cuddle up to enjoy some television by the electric fire.

You will also find the fully equipped kitchen diner which includes Belfast sink, twin electric ovens, induction hob, dishwasher and microwave.

There is also a dining table with seating for six, which makes a sociable space for those leisurely breakfasts and late suppers. Heading upstairs, the first-floor boasts a triple bunk room with wooden furnishings and ample storage for guests to unpack, as well as a shower room with a spacious walk-in shower so guests can get ready in style.

The first floor also hosts a games room / snug where you can challenge your loved ones to a game of pool, air hockey, table football or darts. Climbing up to the second-floor there is a double bedroom with hanging space and a further king-size bedroom with a sea and sand colour theme. Outside you can grab a free roadside parking spot or head to the nearby public car park, and with the beach, harbour and town all just a short walk away, this property makes a perfect place to stay. All the amenities of this historic seaside port are on the doorstep - visit the craft and souvenir shops, excellent restaurants, tea rooms and inns, stroll along the coast to the famous Black Rock Sands beach, or to visit the pretty village of Borth-y-Gest, of which the beach is just 10 minute stroll away from the property. Nearby attractions include the world-famous Ffestiniog narrow gauge steam train, only a five-minute walk from the cottage, so hop on board to travel 13.5 miles through some of the most dramatic scenery the area has to offer. Visit Llechwedd Slate Caverns, which is now also the home of Zip World Titan, the longest four-man zip wire in Europe, as well as Bounce Below, an underground trampoline park, and Antur Stiniog Mountain Bike centre with its various downhill trails. The Italianate village of Portmeirion is also only two miles away and makes for a charming day out. For an ideal retreat, all year round, choose the delightful Harbourside as your home-away-from-home.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog lies on the Glaslyn Estuary and enjoys a stunning setting. The gateway to the 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 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.
