Tucked away within the hustle and bustle of Porthmadog, is this charming semi-detached cottage, Bryn Coed. Benefitting from a central position, less than 250 yards from the high-street, this delightful abode welcomes families seeking a Welsh pursuit. Step into the living/dining room, which has been tastefully styled with two leather sofas; here you can curl up, flick through the Smart TV and enjoy a family night in. Move into the kitchen, fitted with all the essentials for a short break, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and washing machine, so you can wash your muddy clothes straight away! Gather at the dining table and serve your lovingly prepared home-cooked meals, remembering these moments forever as you toast to a long-awaited getaway. As you look to rest, upstairs offers a king size bedroom and bathroom with shower (restricted headroom), while on the ground floor there is a family room with a double bed and single bed, ideal for those who find the stairs a little challenging. To the exterior of Bryn Coed you have a small yard area with picnic bench and a distant coastal view, perfect for an afternoon snack in the sunshine, or you can stroll into the town centre and grab a bite at one of the many tempting eateries! There are also a plethora of independent shops to pick up some souvenirs for your loves ones back home, as well as a collection of attractions such as the Maritime Museum where you can learn the history of the town, and the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways, journeying through 40 miles of rural pasture and forests. If exploration takes you further afield then be sure to visit Blaenau Ffestiniog, home to the wonderful Bounce Below, a unique trampoline park set in underground slate caverns, or take to the heights of the Zip World Titan, an exhilarating experience as you soar through the sky at speeds of up to 70mph! Should you fancy a day of sunbathing, there are a number of golden sandy beaches such as Black Rock Sands Beah, ideal for an afternoon of seaside fun with your little ones playing some beach games. Bryn Coed is a great base for taking on the delights of Wales and Eryri (Snowdonia).
Resting on the Glaslyn Estuary is this bustling harbour town, Porthmadog. A major hub, Porthmadog offers a wealth of shops, restaurants, pubs, cafés and attractions, such as the narrow-gauge Ffestiniog railway, running all the way to Caernarfon. The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk from the village, while a little further afield lies the Italianate style village of Portmeirion, perfect for a day out.
