Llys Cyngar is a fabulous holiday home for all the family! With a front garden of over an acre in size, there really is plenty of room for all. You can find a shady spot for some rest and relaxation, laze in the hot tub, or on a rainy day you can curl up in front of the open fire in the spacious living room with a good book. It’s in a peaceful spot too, next to the golf course and only a few minutes’ walk to the endless sandy beach of Black Rock Sands. Unusually, you can drive your car right onto the beach (there’s a charge in the summer months) so it’s a really accessible beach for all ages.
The coastal village of Morfa Bychan is on the doorstep, whilst the bustling town of Porthmadog is just 2 miles away. You can walk there along the coastal path, indeed it’s an excellent place to start a walk from. You’ll find a wide selection of supermarkets and individual shops ranging from craft shops and bookshops to cafés and restaurants.
Porthmadog is home to the famous Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways from whose station the little narrow gauge steam engines start their journeys either to Blaenau Ffestiniog on the Ffestiniog Railway or Beddgelert and Caernarfon on the Welsh Highland Railway. A nostalgic trip on one of the great little trains of Wales is a must to see the ever changing vistas from the carriage windows. At Blaenau Ffestiniog you’ll find the exciting Zip World, with the UK’s largest zip wire zone where you can zoom over an old slate quarry, and Bounce Below where you can bounce on trampoline nets deep underground in an old slate cavern. A few miles away is the quirky Italianate village of Portmeirion. Designed by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, it was used as the film set for ‘The Prisoner’ and is well worth a visit. The mighty Edward I castle at Harlech (a unesco World Heritage Site) is just a few miles away, whilst the sleepy Llyn Peninsula has tiny villages and rocky coves to explore. Beach 500 yards. Shop 600 yards, pub ¼ mile and restaurant ½ mile.

We choose Llys Cyngar for our first ever cottage booking as a family for some family bonding time now our 4 children are grown up and we have a Granddaughter too, i can say it was Perfect and was more than we imagined, it's a beautiful old period cottage in a perfect location, huge garden with swings for the children, a beach & golf course literally on the doorstep, a hot tub, BBQ & outdoor fireplace to relax in the evenings too.Inside it is bursting with something for everyone, games, Toys, DVD's & even a dart board, it has a lovely log fire in the lounge for those chilly evenings, a karaoke machine too, it really is a home from home and some, we as a family had a wonderful time at Llys Cyngar and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to all larger families.Thank You to Marion and Trev Hankin for opening up your beautiful Cottage to others to use x

This is our 2nd stay and as always it provides! It is a true home from home, everything you need. Close to a little secluded beach and a short drive down into Porthmadog. The access to other places in wales is great. We love the hot tub and fire it’s our favourite thing to do after a full day out. We have stayed in many different cottages and nothing compares to this one.
