This conversion of a miner’s house makes the perfect base for a traditional family holiday. You’ll be situated in the north-west of Wales in a rural area close to the sea, with access to charming local villages and lots of things to keep everyone busy. It’s the perfect place to reconnect with your kids, spend time with your partner, and make memories.
The reverse-level cottage is surrounded by a garden which flows into nearby farmland. It’s enclosed with bushes and barbed wire, so supervision may be required. While your dog and children explore and play on the grass, get the BBQ going for a delicious summer dinner. Alternatively, head inside and up the stairs to enjoy the open-plan living space which combines a kitchen, dining area, lounge, and conservatory, so you can spend time with everyone, even if different activities are occurring. You’ll find plenty of wooden floors and matching furniture for sturdy, practical charm. If you return from adventures feeling a little windswept, the space can be made extra warm and cosy with the wood burner. Also on the first floor is one of the bedrooms, a cosy single. On the ground floor, you’ll find the family bathroom and the two remaining bedrooms, both comfortable and nicely furnished.
You’ll be situated with beaches on three sides and plenty of opportunities for paddling, swimming and water sports. Avid surfers should head to Hell’s Mouth, just under a mile away, for some of the best waves in the UK, or hang ten on Porth Neigwl Beach, which is also less than a mile from the property. In the other direction is Abersoch, a coastal village with places to drink, eat and catch boats to view wildlife on the nearby islands. For an educational trip, pack everyone up and head to the historic Criccieth Castle, 17 miles away, to learn about the Welsh kings and military strongholds. While you’re there, head to Porthmadog to explore local shops and grab fresh and delicious fish and chips.
