Loverly cottage, very comfortable, close to town but very peaceful location.We enjoyed our stay, all you need is good weather. Tir a Mor cafe for a great breakfast in town, close to Portmerion the location for the ‘Prisoner’ TV series in the 60’s. A great steak house just outside Tremadog village (turn right in village) hopefully be back next year.
