  • "Ivy cottage had absolutely everything you could want in a holiday cottage."

    Clean, well thought out, well stocked kitchen, warm and cosy, very comfortable beds, ample room for 5 people and 2 dogs. Absolutely amazing views and great nearby walks. Would definitely love to stay again.

  • "Another fantastic holiday, staying at Ivy cottage, it really does have everything that you need (including an air fryer!"

    !) It was spotlessly clean on arrival and lovely and warm, its such a great spot for walking to the lovely beaches, to Porthmadog which is s great little town, or just staying in watching the tide from the picture windows. I really didn't want to come home yet again and can't wait to book again for later on in the year!!

  • "We had a lovely stay at Ivy Cottage."

    We were travelling as 2 couples and had a four legged friend with us as well. There was plenty of space for us all. The cottage was and clean and inviting. The bedrooms are a good size and having 2 shower rooms with toilets worked well. There were plenty of utensils for every day needs and dishwasher and washing machine was useful. The cottage is situated with beautiful views across the bay. It is perfectly positioned to walk to nearby Porthmadog and also towards BlackRock Sands, with its stunning beaches. There are a couple of eateries within yards, and although closed for our January break, we have eaten in them before and highly recommend. There are some really friendly venues in Porthmadog which you can easily walk to day or night via the cut through at the end of the bay. We had food at The Ship and Tafarn Pencei both nice meals with good choice on the menu, and the Australia is great for real ales. So to sum up a really lovely well equipped cottage in a pretty location with easy access to local amenities in heart of Snowdonia.

  • "This was a lovely place to stay."

    The view was terrific! House was really comfortable and welcoming. Always helpful to have supplies of toilet roll and handwash etc already at the cottage - we really appreciated this. We would definitely book again. No photo of the single room on the website. Garden was quirky- imagine it’s great in the summer. Thanks.

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.
