“We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage.”

It was very welcoming and we felt right at home. It has been lovingly renovated with great attention to detail, the decor was very well thought out and everywhere was spotless. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay, the bed was really comfy and was nice to have a decent TV, with netflix etc. I noticed that other people have complained about parking, but have to say we had no problem. Tremadog is a lovely little village and it's only a short walk through woodland to Porthmadog. We hope ...

Tremadog is a lovely little village and it's only a short walk through woodland to Porthmadog. We hope to visit again and would highly recommend.

“We started with an issue - no key in the lock box, so we had to call the owner who then had to call the cleaner who then took 15 mins to come to us.”

Great location to visit this lovely area. Cottage is immaculately presented and offers nearly everything you need. Beds ✔️ Showers✔️ Internal space ✔️ Loft rooms ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ (big hit with my 5 year old) Location ✔️ Cooking cleaning facilities ✔️ 2 pubs in the village 1 doesn't open till 5pm. Both are quite expensive for food and similarly prices. The golden fleece was newly refurbished and offered a large selection of drinks but we preferred the typical old world pub, The union inn as the atmosphere was relaxed and really friendly. Only 2 things let this property down - The free for all parking outside is shambolic. The neighbours on both sides have 2 cars each which should normally leave enough space for 1 car but the business opposite insisted on parking their van right outside the front door, whichever we had to park down the street for 4 out of 5 days - I spoke to the guys in the business and they just laughed. The rear room and outside space - once the door is open, the room stinks of damp and is full of spiders. My daughters would not go through to the 'yard' and even my dog needed bribing. The outside space is not suitable to even sit in as the lower part is that covered it feels like a cave and getting to the upper part is dangerous (if any rain or moisture in the air) - I made it up but no one else fancied tackling the steep and loose rock steps. If it weren't to the 2 above points, it would be near perfect. We visited most of the towns along the coast spanning 100 miles and we could've seen more if we had more time. The copper mines at Sygun where great and the walks close by meant it was a full day Our favourite place was Beddgelert. Great walks, Super handmade gift shops. Lovely river. Scenic walks and a fantastic pub (Prince Lewellyn) - could not recommend this village highly enough.

“An absolutely fantastic property, a real home from home.”

The property is deceptively spacious, with four good sized bedrooms. Well equipped kitchen and modern day amenities. The owner really went the extra mile with little touches, such as welcome pack with milk, Welsh cakes, washing up liquid, dishwasher Tablets, coffee capsules, pump soap in every toilet. If you needed it, it was there. I had been worried about the street parking, but this didn't come to fruition. Always space either outside or close by so never once a problem. If I had to criticise anything, which is hard to do on such a lovely property, we did wish the pillows in the master bedroom had more guts to them, as using two your head was still on the mattress. Overall we were more than happy, and by far the best catered for holiday let we have stayed in. Thank you.

Thanks for your feedback, we have updated the pillows as per your suggestion. We hope you had a great time. Property Owner

“We loved our stay at Bodlondeb!”

It's a beautiful cottage, so tastefully decorated and very well-equipped. Our two boys (11 and 13) shared the upper floor which was perfect for them. So many lovely little touches throughout the property. Would highly recommend!

“We really enjoyed our stay in Tremadog, perfectly located for exploring Snowdonia and the Lyn Peninsula.”

The cottage is well equipped and homely. Bedrooms are all great, but unfortunately due to unseasonably hot temperatures the loft rooms were unusable, would be a problem with a bigger group, so our daughter slept in the sizeable walk-in-wardrobe in our room. Pictures of the 'garden' would be good just so you know what to expect (not much!). But overall a lovely place and we would stay again.

“Positives about this property.”

It’s has been decorated beautifully and you can tell a lot of care and thought has gone into it, beds were comfy and it was super clean, lots of lovely touches around the house. The locations great to get around to other close towns nearby. Now unfortunately onto the negatives - The attic bedroom has no windows and it was absolutely roasting hot and totally unbearable to sleep in as the weather was so good, so my son had to sleep on the floor in our bedroom. I text the number for the owner asking if there was a fan also asked if there was an iron and ironing board as I could not find one anywhere but unfortunately did not get a response. PARKING is first come first served, if you do manage to park near the house the minute you move your space is taken so trying to park when you come back from a day out isn’t fun! We had a morning raid from the man who owns the shop over the road because the friends we went with had nowhere to park but on the pavement outside his shop. He scared the living daylights out of our kids as he was banging on the door that loud and shouting up at the windows at 7.50am. Totally uncalled for as we would have moved the car without issue, didn’t need the abuse at all. So I think there needs to be a note put in the house to let holiday makers know not to park near his shop as apparently it happens all the time. The “garden,”(no grass) I would say more of a small yard and when you climb the very steep steps to get to the terrace its a disappointment as it has no seating at all so the “Garden” was for us a disappointment considering how much thought has gone into the inside of the house, the outside let it down.

The property

Resting centrally in the quaint village of Tremadog, Gwynedd, is Bodlondeb, a fabulous three-storey dwelling set in a Grade II listed building with over 200 years of history.

Just a stone's throw away from a host of local amenities, and a short journey from the shoreline of Porthmadog, the cottage welcomes four adults, four children, and one furry friend, offering flexible sleeping arrangements, characterful living areas, and a prime location, nearby Snowdonia National Park.

Pull up on the roadside before entering the stone-fronted abode, firstly reaching the inviting living room, dotted with plush seating, a Smart TV, local artwork, and a lovely woodburning stove, enveloped by original stonework.

Venture into the kitchen/diner, where you can prepare meals with a range of state-of-the-art appliances, before gathering around the dining table, perfect for planning your itinerary.

If you'd prefer an alfresco affair, discover the rear multi-level patio area with dining space, before returning indoors for an indulgent bath in the sleek bathroom; upon the first floor you'll also locate a king-size bedroom with Smart TV and en-suite, and a further king-size, both well-presented with stylish accessories.

Climbing up to the second floor, be welcomed into the twin bedroom, with a feature panelled wall, a chalkboard, ideal for the children of your group, and a cloakroom, along with a snug double, with the convenience of a sofa and TV.

The cottage boasts a great location near amenities like pubs, a restaurant and a fish and chip shop that are all just paces away.

In the morning indulge in a fresh coffee whilst planning to either tour the coast or country, starting off in nearby Porthmadog, with the chance to visit the Maritime Museum, enjoy a round of golf at Porthmadog Golf Club, overlooking the shoreline, head to Black Rock Llamas for a trekking experience, or select between Morfa Bychan and Borth y Gest Beach for a stroll.

The charming Italian village of Portmerion is nearby, peppered with cafés, outdoor activities, and shops, ideal for exploring, before hiking across Traeth Glaslyn North Wales Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, or venturing further towards Harlech and its magnificent castle, acting as the gateway into the national park.

Finish off your getaway with a thrill-seeking afternoon at Zip World Llechwedd, tour the underground structure of Sygun Copper Mine, or discover Beddgelert Forest and grave, rich in history and nature.

Experience all of this at Bodlondeb.
