Description
Porthmadog 3.1 miles.
Osprey Cottage is a traditional cosy cottage situated in the heart of Prenteg near Porthmadog, Gwynedd, within the stunning Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.
With a warm log burning stove and picturesque countryside views near a river, this homely cottage offers a great escape for families or friends seeking to explore this beautiful region.
Inside, you'll be greeted by an inviting sitting room, where you can cosy up with your loved ones for a night of movies on the Smart TV, while the toasty log burning stove acts as the perfect backdrop for those quiet evenings in.
Adjacent to this, you'll find a small but adequate kitchen/diner, ideal for preparing light breakfasts and tasty treats to fuel you on the go!
Enjoy family mealtimes together around the dining table, admiring the rural setting through the window.
When it's time to sleep, head upstairs to find two welcoming bedrooms, a choice of two double rooms, both offering a place to rest after a day of muddy adventures.
The property also benefits from a shower room, fitted with a walk-in shower, providing a refreshing space to prepare for a new fun-filled day ahead.
Outside, the front terrace with a patio and picnic bench offers a delightful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or dine alfresco, whilst soaking up the picturesque views of the surrounding countryside.
Prenteg is a charming village, tucked away in the heart of Gwynedd, where you’ll be within easy reach of Porthmadog, offering a range of family-friendly activities and amenities you won't be stuck for things to do explore the local area, stop by the artisan shops, cafés, and eateries.
Trailblazers and nature lovers alike will relish the opportunity to uncover the countless paths that crisscross the tumbling landscape, whether it be a gentle riverside amble or a challenging hike up one of Wales’ most famous peaks Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), the largest mountain in Wales, take the nearby Sherpa bus for a hassle-free ride, leaving parking worries behind.
For thrill-seekers, Zip World offers an adrenaline rush range of activities, while nearby Beddgelert is perfect for a charming day out, don’t miss the Welsh Highland Railway station in Beddgelert or the Ffestiniog Railway near the Osprey Centre.
Lastly, visit the world-famous Portmeirion, an Italianate village designed by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, filled with unique buildings and lush gardens.
A short but steep walk from the cottage, Aberdunant Hall offers both a pub and upmarket dining experience for dining and socialising, try the Glaslyn Lounge for traditional family meals and Sunday lunches, or Y Bistro for a more intimate setting.

What guests are saying
The good - Osprey Cottage is a comfortable, cosy cottage that's perfect for a couple or family of three.
The location is superb, with Beddgelert and Eryri a very short drive away, and the outlook across the estuary is lovely. The bad - The property has two double beds but would feel pretty cramped for two couples (or even 4 people). The metal-framed bed in one of the bedrooms is pretty uncomfortable and very noisy. The cleaning before we arrived was so cursory that I'm not sure it was done at all. There were cobwebs in every corner, dirty tissues left beside one of the beds and a pile of dog poo in plastic bags beside the front door. The instructions in the cottage say not to use the bins outside, but they are full to overflowing and recycling is problematic (we took ours away with us). At the time of our visit 2 of the 3 bulbs in the kitchen had burned out leaving it very dingy. We had to move a standard lamp into the kitchen so we could see to cook and eat. Sykes promised to send a maintenance team to replace the bulbs during our stay but they did not turn up. These issues may be more to do with Sykes management and maintenance than the owners but they would have been very easily resolved and would have made our stay much more comfortable.
It is in an absolutely beautiful & wonderful location.
Not that easy to find because the name plaques are small & set back from the road & there are a lot of small terraced properties there. The property could have been cleaner but it was ok & the beds were comfy & clean
Osprey cottage is in need of some serious TLC, it was very jaded and tired, there were scuff marks on the walls.
The mattress’s were uncomfortable as to the pillows. Basic kitchen with one frying pan that was ruined and burnt some expensive fish. The owners had been told about this but had done nothing about it. This was probably the worst holiday cottage we have stayed in and will not return. Oh and it was not very clean.
