“We had a great time at Llannor.”

This is the second time we’ve stayed here after visiting my parents staying at Llannor last September. We were the first guests in the cottage after the lockdown and it was beautifully clean and there were no signs of it not being used for months. We love the location of this cottage as it’s 5 minutes walk to the sea and we enjoyed sitting on the benches over looking the sea.

This is the second time we’ve stayed here after visiting my parents staying at Llannor last September. We were the first guests in the cottage after the lockdown and it was beautifully clean and there were no signs of it not being used for months. We love the location of this cottage as it’s 5 minutes walk to the sea and we enjoyed sitting on the benches over looking the sea. A washing machine would be a really helpful addition to this cottage so that we didn’t have to return home with mountains of washing! However, there is no obvious space for it as the kitchen is fairly compact. Thank you for hosting our stay, we hope to return again!

“A compact and cosy cottage in a delightful village.”

Llannor is a delightful place to stay, very close to the beach at Borth-y-Gest, which in turn is near Porthmadog. It is very small but cosy and for us it was fine for a few days at half term. There aren't many amenities in the village, although there was a nice bistro. And Porthmadog is so close and has great shops, that it doesn't matter.

“Delightful bolthole in beautiful setting”

This traditional Welsh cottage was located just a stones throw from the beach and harbour. We were spoilt for choice as to which stunning beach or woodland walk to take each day as there were so many beautiful destinations within easy reach on foot. The cottage is attractive, cosy, compact, comfortable, welcoming and well equipped. Pretty and enclosed front and back gardens enabled us to sit out and enjoy the sun at both the beginning and end of the day.

The property

This delightful, traditional stone-built terraced cottage is set in the heart of the delightful seaside village of Borth-y-Gest on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales.

Originally built around 1850 for the harbour workers in Porthmadog, this Borth-y-Gest cottage is ideal for a peaceful family holiday.

This Borth-y-Gest cottage provides comfortable accommodation, with quirky features such as sloping floors in the bedrooms, acquired from many years of history.

There is a door off the kitchen leading to steep steps up to a patio and grassed area where you can sit, relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of life in this delightful village.

There are sandy beaches just a short walk from this Borth-y-Gest cottage, footpaths through ancient woodland and miles of unspoilt coastline, whilst the famous Black Rock Sands can be reached along the coastal paths.

This Borth-y-Gest cottage is a great base for walking, birdwatching, cycling, golf, exploring ancient castles and historic properties, and sightseeing, or just lazing on the beach in this picturesque area of North Wales.

About the location

BORTH-Y-GEST

Porthmadog 1.2 miles; Criccieth 6 miles.

Borth-y-Gest is a quiet Welsh seaside village of mainly Victorian houses retaining much charm and character. Located by the mouth of the River Glaslyn, and a short drive away from the Italian styled village of Portmeirion, this pretty Welsh village has stunning panoramic views over the sands and estuary to the historic Harlech Castle and the Snowdonia National Park beyond. This North Wales village has two bistros and a coffee lounge all located on the front overlooking the bay and all with dog-friendly outdoor seating areas; perfect places to while away the hours watching the comings and goings of the local boatmen. Borth-y-Gest, with its sheltered coves and sandy beaches, has walking in abundance; why not head up Moel-y-Gest or take a wander over the headland to the famous Black Rock Sands, or go a little further afield where the vast Snowdonia National Park awaits? For a day out you can take a trip on the famous Ffestiniog Steam Railway and Welsh Highland Railway from Porthmadog, only a 15 minutes' walk away, or for those with younger children why not visit the shorter but more child-focussed Welsh Highland Heritage Railway? For a day trip the entire Llyn Peninsula calls. With Anglesey within reach and the whole North Wales coast with the Wales Coast Path to be explored, Borth-y-Gest has it all: a quiet bolt hole but conveniently located for ease of access to this stunning area, a must at any time of the year.
