Borth y Gest is a quiet Welsh seaside village of mainly Victorian houses retaining much charm and character. Located by the mouth of the River Glaslyn, and a short drive away from the Italian styled village of Portmeirion, this pretty Welsh village has stunning panoramic views over the sands and estuary to the historic Harlech Castle and the Snowdonia National Park beyond. This North Wales village has two bistros and a coffee lounge all located on the front overlooking the bay and all with dog-friendly outdoor seating areas; perfect places to while away the hours watching the comings and goings of the local boatmen. Borth y Gest, with its sheltered coves and sandy beaches, has walking in abundance; why not head up Moel-y-Gest or take a wander over the headland to the famous Black Rock Sands, or go a little further afield where the vast Snowdonia National Park awaits? For a day out you can take a trip on the famous Ffestiniog Steam Railway and Welsh Highland Railway from Porthmadog, only a 15 minutes' walk away, or for those with younger children why not visit the shorter but more child-focussed Welsh Highland Heritage Railway? For a day trip the entire Llyn Peninsula calls. With Anglesey within reach and the whole North Wales coast with the Wales Coast Path to be explored, Borth y Gest has it all: a quiet bolt hole but conveniently located for ease of access to this stunning area, a must at any time of the year.

A really family feel and just the rest and fresh air break we needed. Clare from Menai holidays couldnât have been more welcoming and helpful - and the owner also .

So peaceful and relaxing. There were six of us staying this time, we all had plenty of space to do our own thing or come together to eat, play games and chat. The views are spectacular no matter which room you choose to stay in. The beaches are within a 10 - 15 minute walk on the beach path. The town and nearest supermarkets are about 10 miutes by car.

The house is more like a family home than a holiday let,full of personal homely items. Bed linen and towels were clean,as were kitchen and bathroom work surfaces but there were some cleaning issues elsewhere,especially the bedroom down the steps,above the garage,many old cobwebs,and also across the ceiling in the main bedroom bathroom. The garden is lovely,but in danger of becoming overgrown. I suggest that the instructions for the dishwasher,microwave etc could be placed in the information package and left out,we had to hunt through the kitchen drawers for them! And what a shame that the garden pond has neglected,there are photos of it in its full glory in the living room. All in all,a superb location and an interesting comfortable place to stay - with some attention over the coming years this place could,and should, be outstanding.
