Description

STS Grade 4

This lovingly restored Welsh cottage has been carefully designed to a high specification and includes a games room with pool table and a beautiful garden and stream to relax by. At night lie back and see the shooting stars in one of the 'Dark Sky Areas' of the UK. Situated in the village of Pentrefelin (Mill Village), between the harbour town and steam train Mecca of Porthmadog and the Castle guarded beach village of Criccieth. The interior has contemporary decoration and furniture, with two mains gas fires and central heating. The ground floor has a fully equipped kitchen leading onto a beautiful garden, a living room and games room with pool table/dining table. There are two compact shower rooms and a 3rd loo downstairs makes it a very ‘convenient’ holiday home for friends and families to share. A great outside space to the rear has wooden bridge crossing a stream that trickles through the garden. At night lie back and see the shooting stars in one of the 'Dark Sky Areas' of the UK. There are three bedrooms making it more comfortable for a maximum of 3 adults and 2 children in bunk beds. There is a wild footpath down to Black Rock Sands beach from the village, but it's much easier just to put everything in the car and drive the 3 miles round through Porthmadog. You can drive onto Black Rock sands beach. It's 3 miles long and there is plenty of space for a small charge. On a different day visit Cricieth beach, just 2 miles west Guarded by a Welsh castle, this historic village has some lovely restaurants too.

"Beautiful Cottage. This is a gorgeous cottage that has been decorated to a high standard. It has everything you need for a few days away with a picturesque garden that has its very own stream. The games room was a hit for my teenagers with a pool table and dart board which entertained them for hours.
The only negative is the parking, there is one very tiny space at the side of the house - which did not accommodate our large car. The cottage is on a very busy road so you can hear the traffic noise but this did not spoil our weekend stay. I would highly recommend a stay here."

ED (August 2023): 3.8 STARS "A lot of pros, but significant cons. The pros of this cottage are: - Brilliant games room with pool table. - Flat screen TVs with Netflix etc which all worked perfectly. - Good showers which worked well, in both bathrooms. - Cottage newly and tastefully refurbished to high standard. - Excellent, spacious kitchen. The cons are: - Very small parking space directly adjacent to busy main road. The space would not be fit for purpose with a large car and I think guests should be made aware before arrival as it could be very problematic. - Certain pillows (under pillow case) were very stained (looked like sweat stains) and I think it’s such an easily remedied oversight. Overall, very good cottage for a family holiday provided you do not have a big car and are confident about parking" Thanks for the Review - which are always passed on to the Property Owner for their attention. On our website we state, "PARKING: Parking to the side of the cottage for 1 small car and street parking to front.". We will check what it says on Cottages.com
MB (August 2023): 4.5 STARS "A lovely stay there’s no shops near by so you need transport to get around as you are central location to different amenities. The cottage is finished to a high spec with all the facilities you need. The only thing it’s on a main busy road and is difficult to get it’s small parking space anything bigger than a Ford focus would struggle to park"
BA (July 2023): "we've had an absolutely brilliant stay. Thanks for your help with the booking, really appreciate it. It's a lovely cottage and so convenient for everywhere. Just wish we could have stayed longer :-). fyi the green bin was full so we couldn't use it. Hope to use STS again in the near future, all the best " Thanks for the Feedback. We will investigate the emptying of the wheelie bin. Also, just in case, could everyone do their bit and recycle as much as possible - the recycling is collected every week but the wheelie bin is less frequent - and the bin needs to be put out onto the roadside the evening before collection.
The E Family (Aug 2022): Excellent "The accommodation is 5 Star. The location, cleanliness, everything is thought out in detail to make you feel at home. In an absolutely fantastic region of Wales, what else could you ask for?"
The O Family (Aug 2022): Good "Great cottage - super clean and lovely location. Close to lots of kid-friendly attractions and beautiful coastline. The cottage is very well appointed and check-in was super easy. Would definitely recommend."
