Cefn Isaf is a holiday house in a truly wonderful location on the Llyn Peninsula. The sandy beach of Black Rock is a mile away, accessed via a quiet country lane. Jump in the car and then onto a steam train at the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways. To see some more interesting architecture head to Portmeirion which was designed by the owner's great-uncle, Sir Clough Williams-Ellis.
There is so much to do in this part of North Wales. Attractions, walks, cycle routes and activities. But you might struggle to tear yourself away from the relaxing haven that is Cefn Isaf. With its bright rooms, colourful furnishings and beamed ceilings, it really is a delight to spend family time here. A year-round family family friendly holiday house!
The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog lies on the Glaslyn Estuary and enjoys a stunning setting. The gateway to the Snowdonia National Park, Porthmadog is full of individual shops and restaurants, and home to the Ffestiniog Railway, where you can travel by steam through spectacular Snowdonia scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk or drive from the town. The well known and unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is just down the coast. Situated on a rugged clifftop on its own private peninsula, Portmeirion, famous as the location of the TV show The Prisoner and the final episode of Cold Feet, is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and woodlands. The area also boasts castles at Criccieth and Harlech, and superb unspoilt beaches such as Black Rock Sands, where the sands stretch as far as the eye can see. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.
