Porthmadog Cottages
Please find below a selection of self catering holiday cottages
to rent in Porthmadog, Wales.
Looking for somewhere with plenty of life yet surrounded by
natural beauty? Our Porthmadog cottages could be the answer.
Where the Cambrian coastline meets the Llyn Peninsula, this
thriving harbour town is a good stepping stone to the Snowdonia
National Park, framed by the purple-capped peak of Moel y Gest and
the pretty Glaslyn Estuary. It offers all kinds of services for the
tourist, including a bustling high street laden with shops,
restaurants, pubs and cafés. There's also a leisure centre
and cinema.
Fans of narrow gauge steam trains are in for a treat, with day
trips along the Festiniog and Welsh Highland Railways both
operating from town - the station for the latter sells a fantastic
choice of railway memorabilia too. Another great day out is a visit
to the Italianate village of Portmeirion just a short drive away.
Porthmadog also has an interesting Maritime Museum and a Motor
Museum featuring classic British cars and motorbikes from the 20s
to 60s.
Porthmadog's marina is the town's lively hub. It's
an extremely popular mooring area and used by yachtsmen from across
Europe, eager to explore this wonderful coastline. Even if
you're not a sailor, do make time to wander around and view the
yachts.
No doubt another reason for a Porthmadog cottage holiday is to
spend time on the beach and there are two to choose from -
Borth-Y-Gest (within walking distance) and Black Rocks Sands (a
ten-minute drive). The latter boasts a superb dune-backed sandy
beach, with multi-coloured rock pools and caves.
All in all, plenty for everyone!
