“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!

Mr Middleton September 2020

“Llanor is very quaint and in a quite setting in Borth-y-Gest, with easy parking opposite the cottage.”

This little place had everything we needed for a quiet and relaxing stay. Clean and well-equipped, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There are some lovely walks, in either direction, virtually on the doorstep. We walked to Portmeirion and also discovered a secluded bay in the other direction. Great late summer break.

Mrs Daley July 2019

“The cottage is ideally located in quiet village with two cafes and a restaurant.”

Lovely coastal walk and water front. Double and twin room with bathroom upstairs. Exceptionally powerful shower over bath. Flagstone floor kitchen and cosy living room. Rear access to pretty stepped garden with lovely hydrangeas, and garden furniture. Really peaceful and relaxing.

“A very comfortable and well equipped cottage superbly located for exploring Snowdonia, the narrow gauge railways of Wales and the lovely beaches on the Lleyn peninsular.”

Parking is no problem in the road outside and all the shops you need are only a mile or so away. We look forward to our next visit.

Ms Manley October 2016

“The owner was very friendly and sent a useful list of suggested places to eat and things to do, as well as leaving lots of books and brochures in the cottage as well.”

We ran out of time to do everything we wanted to do. The little touches like leaving matches, washing up liquid, tea and coffee were also much appreciated. Location was perfect to explore the area.

“The cottage was cosy and comfortable.”

The owner and neighbours were friendly and helpful. The location was perfect; in a quiet street, close to coastal walks and seafront cafes. We were very happy there and were sad to leave at the end of our stay.

Mr Evans September 2014

“A very lovely location, and a very guiet spot.”

The cottage must date back a number of years! Also we struck lucky with the weather! What more could you ask for?

“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.

- Mrs Earp, October 2013
Mr Foster September 2013

“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.

Mr Smith September 2012

- Mr Smith, September 2012
Mrs Wallen August 2012

“The cottage was delightful.”

Small but very pretty, well equiped and immaculately clean. It was excellently located just 1 minute from the stunning estuary/harbour and a 5 minute walk to several beautiful beaches. The bustling resort of Portmadog was just a 15 minute walk away.

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.
