From the first floor balcony, within the tree canopy of an oak tree, you can see glimpses of everything including the harbour, mountains and the occasional steam train passing the bottom of the garden. The comfortable lounge also has a picture window where you can while away the hours. This is a first floor flat with a sunny balcony situated in the historic stone built 'Plas Ynys Tywyn' just off the High Street and just over the bridge from the Ffestiniog Railway station and Harbour in Porthmadog. It is very convenient to the variety of shops and eating places and many footpaths which are excellent for birdwatching or just enjoying the fabulous views.
