We stayed at the The Stables at Garth Morthin earlier in the year and that was another brilliant property. The proximity to Porthmadog and Black Rock Sands beach is perfect (only 5-10 mins to both) but the rural setting makes you think that you are in the middle of nowhere. These are probably the best all round holiday lets that we have stayed in, and we have stayed in properties all over North/ Mid Wales in the last 15 years.

Part of a complex of three but set out so that no one overlooks anybody else.
