Porthmadog 4 miles.
The small village of Prenteg stands at the foot of the Moel Ddu Mountain, close to Tremadog Bay, and is surrounded by the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Historically a slate and copper mining community, the village is today renowned for the regular sightings of Wales' only nesting Osprey. Just 4 miles away, aside the Glaslyn Estuary, the bustling harbour town of Pothmadog is alive with an exciting marina and an array of individual shops and restaurants, whilst being home to the historic Ffestiniog Railway. The picturesque cliffs and coves and enormous Black Rock Beach at the pretty village of Borth-y-Gest make for an idyllic day out, whilst the fabulous Italianate village of Portmeirion is a must. With the medieval castles at nearby Criccieth, Harlech and Caernarfon and a host of excellent walking and cycling opportunities within easy reach, this is an ideal location for enjoying all that Snowdonia and the Lleyn Peninsula have to offer.

Everything was brilliant, house was really comfortable.
Mr Evans, Chester, December 2011
A lovely Welsh slate cottage with a sense of history. The property was well furnished and equipped with quality kitchenware etc. The beds were comfortable and all rooms were warm and well furnished. The property was in a good central location, handy for visiting the beaches and mountains.
