  • "We loved this property."

    It felt very homely and spacious. It was ideally placed for all the things we wanted to do as a group - climbing mountains in Snowdonia, going to the beach and visiting attractions. There was plenty to do in the area within easy reach. We only had a short stay but were left a welcome pack which was unexpected and the hosts had produced a folder with lots of useful information about the local area.

  • "Lovely time staying at the cottage."

    perfect location for going out and about. everything you would need and more is in the cottage, home from home. Children well catered for with loads of games and books ready there waiting to be played with. access to the cottage can be a bit difficult if you have mobility issues. Porthmadog only a couple of miles away as is a large Tesco store. Steam train journeys a must and my favourite was the Harbour Master. we really enjoyed are stay at the cottage and would book again

    Mr J M LewisSep 2023

  • "Access to the property was more difficult than expected, path down to the car park (which was described as across the road) was very overgrown, we thought the steps were dangerous as they aren’t complete."

    Apart from access the cottage is lovely.

Prenteg is a charming village nestled in the heart of Gwynedd, offering the perfect base for exploring the spectacular landscapes of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and the beautiful North Wales coastline.

Within the hamlet, you can enjoy leisurely walks to the wildlife-rich Glaslyn Osprey Centre, watch the resident ospreys, visit the nearby Aberdunant Hall for a drink or a meal, let the little ones burn off energy at the playground opposite, or take a short stroll to the picturesque 3-foot waterfall.

PRENTEG

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 and Welsh Highland Heritage Railway. The picturesque cliffs and coves and enormous Black Rock Beach makes 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 Llyn Peninsula have to offer. Several beautiful sandy beaches can be found within a 10-20 minute drive. Harlech beach where the golden sands are 4 miles long, backed by a fantastic dune system and one of North Wales’ best golf courses (Royal St David’s), Borth-y-Gest, a hidden gem, Shell Island, Black Rock Sands, and we can’t forget Porthdinllaen, where a walk around the picturesque peninsula takes you to the Ty Coch Inn on the beach, rated one of the top 10 best beach bars in the world. There is an abundance of great beaches on the Llyn Peninsula including Porth Oer Beach, known as Whistling Sands due to the way the sand “squeaks” under your feet which is also a great spot for surfing/body boarding and a great beach café.
