A small town with independent shops and lovely harbor.
A small town with independent shops and lovely harbor. Portmerion is close by and the Festinigg and West Highland railways run from here. Excellent trip on the Festiniog line and trip to the Slate mines at Bleneau Festinniog the next day was excellent. We had three days here and it was not quite long enough. Would recommend this a four day trip full of interest. 1st class upgrade on the Festinniog railway was well worth it on the outward journey. Came back standard class as the engine blocks the view forward on the return journey and the side way view is stunning anyway.
We also had time to take a trip along the coast and paddle in the sea at Abersoch and called into Conway and Llandudno on the way back. Beautiful unspoilt countryside with welcoming locals, lots of places to eat well, good roads and plenty of cheap and free parking.

Excellent / and Spectacular fabulous vistas , weather was perfect!
Better control of hotel restaurant, I would consider essential !!
For the benefit of all of the diners, not just the large parties!

Very easy to navigate the facility if you are able bodied!
Walking in the surrounding area is superb , early morning estuary birds and song wonderful .

An amazing place with such history, fictional and non-fictional. I was blown away with the beauty and wished we had booked for longer - it was a birthday overnight stay. I will definitely go again and stay for longer. Loved it x

We loved the lively little town of Porthmadog which is a magnet for those wishing to explore Snowdonia, visit the famous Portmerion and for those who love steam trains with not one but two stations offering different trips in the town.
If you plan to visit the area then Porthmadog is a very central, very pretty place to stay - we were lucky enough to have blue skies and warm temperatures when we visited which always helps to make any trip away a pleasure.
We ate a very tasty pub dinner at The Australian in the high street and then had a good Indian meal just around the corner from our hotel the Tudor Lodge, there was a Thai restaurant around by the harbour but we needed to book for this so missed out.
A great place to stay if you like mountains, steam trains and The Prisoner.

Not too big freindly people stunning scenery & we took the route not advised from W.Yorks. the Coast road via Conway which can be busy but via A5 from south of Wrexham to Betwys Coed then Ffestiniog not dual carriage way but amazing scenery.
Steam Heritage enthusiast's paradise - stunning scenery all around the town, great places to eat and drink, friendly folk and excellent shopping.
Eat at the Australian ( Purple Moose Brewery) and at the station pub/bistro ( Welsh Highland . Festiniog on the harbour)
“The whole stay was a special experience. The rooms are beautifully furnished, better than most manor houses, and so much better than a six star hotel.
The stay here was the equivalent of eating in a 3 star Michelin restaurant. It is not just about the food, it is the total experience. Just sitting in the garden looking at the view was a joy. The view from the bedrooms was also amazing.”
“We had a lovely stay, location excellent, parking good but a little distance away from the house. The toaster had a green sticker on which I think meant it had been repaired, but it wasn't working. The addition of a privacy curtain over the front door is much needed! Otherwise this was a bargain stay in a beautiful location, so close to the coast, Black Rock Sands and Porthmadog. Be prepared for the steep stairs! But so very worth staying, regardless of minor niggles. Would go there again.”
“Everything seemed new. Extremely helpful owners. Breakfast was plentiful and the location is perfect for both the town and the surroundings. Good that it has a car park as well. Also liked the fact that the hotel makes it clear you are in Wales, with references to the local language and culture. The inclusion of a fridge for people who want to store their own food is also a nice touch.”
“SO relaxing. Comfortable. Peaceful. Interesting. You don't have to be a fan of The Prisoner to enjoy it. The breakfast was fantastic. Stayed in the village (not the actual hotel) and it was CHARMING. Outdoor swimming pool was heated! LOVELY.”
