Guests LOVE the spectacular views over the estuary towards Portmeirion, Harlech and across to the railway. The views can be enjoyed from the kitchen/living/dining area the balcony and both bedrooms.
This double fronted home offers uninterrupted views of the everchanging estuary. Porthmadog High Street is only a 5 minute walk away to a choice of shops, restaurants and scenic walks.  Porthmadog is an excellent all round location with sandy beaches and mountains so close at hand.
This 'upside down' modern seaside home has an open plan living, dining and kitchen area to soak in the views through the double patio onto the balcony and across the estuary. SKY TV basic package and WIFI included.
There are two double bedrooms, both of which overlook the estuary and a bathroom with standalone shower cubicle, WC and sink.

Must-dos in the area include Portmeirion village (4 miles), Criccieth beaches and castle (5 miles), Beddgelert mountain village at the foot of Snowdon (8 miles), Llanberis, numerous lakes, museums and train rides including the scenic trip up Snowdon. This is a picturesque and central location for a holiday property in North Wales.

A week in Porthmadog
A nice property with a fantastic view over the Glaslyn estuary. A great base to explore the area. Plenty of public transport so you can park up and leave the car. The coastal scenery is fantastic with miles of golden sand, the heritage railways are on the doorstep if you want to have a change in pace. I was quite lucky with the weather but had a really comfortable stay in a lovely property.

Lovely comfortable house in a fantastic location, very easy to find. It's a great base to tour around North Wales although it was hard to tear ourselves away from the ever changing view. The sun shone for us and watching the full moon rising over the estuary at high tide was amazing. We couldn't have been happier and hope we can return next year. Thanks very much.

A wonderful second stay
This was our second stay at the property and it didn’t disappoint. We had the added experience of watching the steam trains chugging across the Cobb as last time we visited in winter. The property was clean and well appointed . The short walk into town gave us access to everything we needed. Sue, the owner, was very helpful and was readily available and cheerful when communicating.

A nice house
It is a lovely house. A bathroom is a little bit small and old one, but a kitchend and living place is modern and beautiful. Views from the small terrace are beautiful!
