Fantastic location, simply stunning! Loved that we could walk to The Grapes hotel for our evening meal. Centrally located so there were alot of attractions nearby.

Great, modern, facilities. Kids liked the bluetooth bathroom mirror /speaker. Powerful shower & fully featured kitchen appliances. Local Grapes pub does a fair meal & Bryn Arms were recommended, but we never made it. It was a useful base. We travelled as far as Anglesey & to nearby Portmeirion & Harlech Castle & beach.

Delightful historic cottage with parking and excellent wi-fi. In the same village, good food available at the Grapes and supermarkets not far away in Porthmadog. Would certainly try and stay there again.
