About this property

Siop Da Da is a charming, well-positioned home nestled in the heart of Porthmadog, Gwynedd. Perfectly located near a beach and local amenities, Siop Da Da offers a pet-friendly, characterful dwelling for a group of five guests, set in a prime position to explore both the coast and the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Park up to the roadside or take advantage of the sought-after, off-road parking space to the rear of the property, before stepping indoors, firstly reaching the homely living/dining room, complete with original beams overhead, a feature, stone fireplace, and plenty of seating to sink into after a day of adventure. The kitchen provides the perfect place to cook up a storm, whilst the rest of your family set the dining table, or make up the patio furniture, ready to gather and enjoy an alfresco affair; end the evening with a chilled glass of wine in hand, cosying up around the Smart TV. Head up the stairs to discover two well-appointed bedrooms; a king-size and a family room, featuring a double and single bed for convenience. On this floor, there’s also a bathroom with a bath and shower over, whilst a handy cloakroom and utility rest on the ground floor. Stay local and explore the coastal town of Porthmadog, with plenty of shops, eateries, and pubs to visit, including Tafarn Pencei for some traditional fare, before heading to the beach for a stroll or the chance to try your hand at some watersports; the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways is also a popular, local attraction with families, worth adding to your itinerary. The nearby town of Harlech is a must-see, with its castle perched atop a rocky outcrop, and its historic port, or perhaps venture to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Caernarfon with its magnificent castle and historic town walls. There’s something for everyone to explore in this part of Gwynedd, with the national park within driving distance, filled with lofty peaks and beautiful landscapes, worth exploring no matter the weather. Enjoy the best of North Wales at Siop Da Da.

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 and the Welsh Highland railway where you can travel by steam through spectacular Snowdonia scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog or Caerforn . 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. Also within reach is the famous Zip World Slate Caverns and Bounce Below where you can get involved with a variety of activities including the thrilling zip wires and underground caverns to explore; there is something here to suit the whole family. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.
