A minute's stroll from beautiful beaches and secret coves is The Boatman's Cottage in the heart of Borth y Gest . Built in 1865, this cosy seaside terraced house has been lovingly renovated by its owners to a very high standard, and is prepared by them each week for guests. Original features such as stable doors, slate hearth, mosaic hall tiles and stairs (slightly steeper and shallower than is the norm) have been retained to add warmth to the character of this beautiful cottage. The floor of the living and dining room area is solid maple parquet. The bedrooms mix 'Old World' charm with modern comfort and the newly fitted kitchen and bathroom both sparkle with up market style. A superb elevated deck leads off the kitchen from where you have privacy to enjoy the afternoon sun, outdoor eating and views over a traffic free Green and the oak hillside of the nature reserve. One mile from Porthmadog , the Ffestiniog Railway and Portmeirion also close at hand as are the mountains of Snowdonia , the village of Beddgelert , Harlech and Cricieth Castles. Borth y Gest has both a shop, tea room and an excellent licenced restaurant. Coastal walks from the house are outstanding. This is a good central location for a holiday property in North Wales
