    “We really enjoyed our stay in the perfect location with stunning views!”

    The harbour with a variety of places to eat is a short walk away down some steep steps. However, there is an alternative route along the road which is less steep for those less mobile. Parking out front was easy for two cars, although the parking is not allocated and this might be more of an issue in peak season.

    The harbour with a variety of places to eat is a short walk away down some steep steps. However, there is an alternative route along the road which is less steep for those less mobile. Parking out front was easy for two cars, although the parking is not allocated and this might be more of an issue in peak season. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable and was lovely and warm when we arrived on a cold day. It felt very homely. The kitchen is very well-equipped with all needs anticipated with the variety of equipment supplied. We made use of both the kitchen log burner and living room open fire and really appreciated that these were ready to go and well-supplied with firelighters, kindling and logs. The bedrooms were all a good size and the beds super comfortable and we loved the very good shower downstairs. Overall, we were very impressed by the cottage and had a lovely stay. We also appreciated the more relaxed approach by the owner when we didn't arrive to find a lengthy set of rules to abide by which can sometimes be the case... Instead, we arrived to a thoughtful bottle of wine and chocolates, bread and milk in the fridge and a friendly note welcoming us and providing the owner's details in case of any issues which we happily didn't have need of :-)

The property

A wonderful, Grade II Captain's House in Porthmadog with outstanding views of the Marina, Mountains and Steam Trains, yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the marina and shops of this North Wales seaside resort is the wonderful residence Wenallt.

Enjoying a superb location with stunning views over the town, harbour and mountains, this former Grade 2 listed Captains residence also enjoys a fantastic interior with stained glass windows, period features, and an array of artwork, making Wenallt a lovely dog-friendly choice for couples or a family of six.

The property benefits from roadside parking and a generous rear, sloping garden with furniture, accessed via steep steps.

On the ground floor, you can whip up family favourites in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, featuring a gas fire and original slate flooring, ready to savour at the breakfast table or as a more formal affair in the delightful dining room, lined with bookshelves and a decorative stove.

After dinner, relax in the sitting room on the plush seating as you watch a much-loved show on the TV, whilst your pooches curl up in the warm glow of the open fire.

The ground floor is completed by a sleek shower room where you can freshen up at the end of the day.

Continue upstairs, where you will find a well-appointed bathroom, featuring an original cast iron bath, and a cloakroom with Victorian WC.

When sleep calls, three well-presented bedrooms await, two doubles, one with a view over the harbour, the other with a feature fireplace, high ceiling and access to the garden, and a twin, also with harbour views.

Explore the bustling town, where you can treat your loved ones to a meal at the award-winning Yr Hen Fecws Restaurant, the Australia Pub, and fresh fish and chips from Allports.

Or stock up on essentials at the supermarkets and convenience stores, tour the Maritime Museum, hop aboard the Welsh Highland Railway for a scenic ride through incomparable scenery, or enjoy leisurely strolls through the harbour.

Head to nearby Borth Y Gest, where you will find a beautiful beach, or continue onto Morfa Bychan, where you can test out your clubs at the excellent Porthmadog Golf Club, dine at the Black Rock Beach Club, and visit nearby Black Rock Sands.

For exceptional hiking and cycling opportunities, venture into the Snowdonia National Park, where you can take on the famous Snowdon Peak and explore underground mines at Zip World Llechwedd.

Continue on to Harlech, home to a fabulous beach with mountain views, a fascinating castle and a superb golf club.

Your adventure to North Wales begins at Wenallt.

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

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 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. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.
