The Stables was ideal for us. It’s located only a ten minute drive from Porthmadog. The views are spectacular and the cottage is very well equipped. The hosts are marvellous and nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely barn conversion. Bathroom and double bedroom on downstairs level. Upstairs lounge, kitchen and twin bedroom. Large window for view and large apex window that really needs a blind or curtains for privacy, felt very exposed.
