The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog is found on the Afon Glaslyn estuary in northwest Wales amongst the mountain ranges of Snowdonia. It’s a fantastic place to stay if you’re looking to explore some of the attractions of the surrounding area, particularly as it’s a town with such good transport links that include the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway. A highlight is a mile-long embankment across the estuary that is known locally as ‘The Cob’ and makes a great route for an afternoon stroll or cycle, admiring the views of the coastline on either side.
Glas y Dorlan is a wonderful stylish barn conversion in a gorgeous setting between the Llyn Peninsula and southern Snowdonia mountains. Criccieth and beaches are two miles away, while Porthmadog and Portmeirion are 10 and 15 minutes by car. There is coarse and trout fishing on-site and excellent access to footpaths and cycling routes. Y Wyddfa (Snowdon), Zip World and Bounce Below are all within half an hour's drive. The cottage is dog friendly and sleeps up to four guests in two bedrooms. It is very popular with couples but also suits families and friends.
