Property code: OC-90615

Enjoy far-reaching estuary and mountain views from this cosy cottage on the border of Snowdonia National Park. Gather with friends, family, and a couple of canine companions in this wonderful home that features both a warming wood burner and a decked balcony making it the perfect retreat whatever the weather or time of year.

Step into this warm and inviting terraced coastal hideaway, where the sea air and mountain views immediately soothe the soul. Shed your coats and wander into the kitchen/lounge to sit back in one of the comfortable chairs and let your gaze wander while you dream up your culinary creations. The kitchen, a masterful blend of form and function, is the perfect place to whip up a feast. When it's time to dine, gather around the beautifully appointed table in the separate lounge/diner, share stories, and map out your holiday adventures. Afterwards, sink into the plush sofas and cosy up by the warm glow of the wood burner that’s sure to be a hit with the hounds. Come bedtime, head upstairs to the three delightfully appointed bedrooms. Choose between the king-size with en-suite shower room and Smart TV, the double with unobstructed views of the bay, or the single, also with stunning sea vistas. The stylish family bathroom completes the first floor. Outside, the real showstopper is the decked balcony with its glass balustrade and table and chairs, where you can bask in the sun and watch the world go by from sunrise to sunset.

Borth-y-gest in North Wales is a dream come true for dog owners looking for a fun and adventurous vacation with their furry friends. This beautiful coastal area offers a range of activities that both you and your dog will love. Take a stroll along the miles of sandy beaches, with stunning views of the coastline and rugged cliffs. Borth y Gest Beach is 500 meters from your door, accessed via a steep cliff path, and the sweeping golden sands of Traeth y Greigddu are 2.5 miles away, both of which welcome four-pawed pals year round. If you're feeling more active, hike through the stunning countryside with your pup, where a vast network of footpaths, trails and bridleways, provide a range of hiking experiences for all abilities. For a more sedate experience, relax at one of the cafes, pubs, or restaurants in the area, many of which welcome dogs and offer outdoor seating.

The cottage is beautiful and it is home from home. The place is lovely. The only issues are parking is hard work, typical terraced street.

Perfect is the only way I can describe this beautiful cottage. From the interaction with Faye the owner from the offset to the pristine layout. The decking and view is out of this world and the position in the village makes it a 2 minute walk to either of the eateries.

Just three minutes' walk from the sea, with spectacular views of the bay from the terrace and some rooms, this is a truly lovely place to stay. Borth-Y-Gest is small and charming; the caf we visited was welcoming and friendly, the seashore birdlife was excellent (and can be watched with ease from the house terrace with a decent set of binoculars!)

A lovely property which has been maintained to a high standard. Pati area great views of the estuary with comfortable furniture etc. The stairs are quite narrow and steep for anyone not too mobile. Very comfortable and lots to see and do around the area. Great walks from the house with beautiful beaches. Excellent eating cafes in Borth y guest.

The cottage is absolutely lovely with all of the amenities that you could possibly wish for; you can tell that this is a well-loved family home.
