The property

Nestled in the picturesque coastal village of Borth-y-Gest, this holiday retreat makes an excellent base for those drawn to the great outdoors.

From the front door, you can step straight onto coastal paths that wind past hidden coves, golden beaches and sweeping estuary views, setting the scene for bracing autumn strolls, invigorating winter rambles or sunlit summer wanderings.

For walkers, the options are endless.

Take on the Moel-y-Gest trail that rises just behind the village, rewarding your efforts with panoramic views, or follow the coastal path across The Cob into the enchanting Italianate village of Portmeirion.

A little further afield, the wide sands of Black Rock open out in dramatic fashion, while a short drive brings you to the wonders of Snowdonia National Park.

Here, adventures range from gentle family valley walks to the challenge of summiting iconic peaks such as Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa and Cnicht.

Families are equally well catered for, with activities to suit every pace and age.

Try kayaking or paddleboarding on the Glaslyn Estuary, or explore cycling routes like Lon Ardudwy and the Mawddach Trail.

Thrill-seekers can head to adventure parks including Zip World and GreenWood Family Park, while gentler days might be spent uncovering history at Criccieth Castle, wandering the artistic streets of Portmeirion, or enjoying a nostalgic journey on the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railway.

After a day’s exploration, return to a welcoming base where you can relax, warm up after fresh-air adventures, share hearty meals, and plan tomorrow’s outing — whether it’s scaling a mountain, discovering a castle, or uncovering a quiet beach along the coast.

With direct access to coastal paths, an array of family-friendly attractions nearby, and some of Wales’ finest landscapes on the doorstep, this is a comfortable retreat for every season.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

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.
