This welcoming country cottage is in a secluded, bird-filled garden in the Snowdonia foothills, surrounded by our fields. We are just outside the little village of Nebo, between Caernarfon and Porthmadog.

Spectacular walks from the gate to the nearby Nantlle Ridge, ideal for walkers and climbers. Steam trains, castles, sandy beaches and lots of attractions within easy reach.

We are 8 miles south of the historic town of Caernarfon, and 15 minutes from the bustling harbour town of Porthmadog. The cottage is central for Snowdonia's beautiful mountains and coast and the Llyn Peninsula. Anglesey is only a 30 minute drive away (fancy a day trip to Ireland from Holyhead?) and along the coast is the Victorian resort of Llandudno, ideal for shopping.
