About this property
Bwthyn Llechen is a holiday apartment in a pretty, Grade II listed building nestled in the quiet back streets of Porthmadog on the Llŷn Peninsula. Formerly the Slate Wharf manager's house for the Oakley quarry at Ffestiniog, it has now been carefully converted, retaining its fine exterior, into a relaxing, contemporary, spacious holiday apartment all on one level (great for wobbly knees and hips!). If you are keen to reduce your carbon footprint you can arrive by train or bicycle and have masses to do from here without needing a car. Porthmadog is home to the Ffestiniog Railways - hop on a train and visit the slate mines at Llechwedd, travelling through some stunning scenery, or take a Sherpa bus to the foot of Snowdon, going through the pretty village of Beddgelert. Good cafes and restaurants are all within walking distance - try Hen Fecws! Discover wonderful beaches at Black Rock Sands and pretty coves and bays around the harbour at Borth Y Gest. This apartment is a delight and in the most convenient central location. There is parking for two cars, too. A fabulous place to stay whilst on holiday in North Wales!
The bustling harbour town of Porthmadog lies on the Glaslyn Estuary and enjoys a stunning setting. The gateway to the Snowdonia National Park, Porthmadog is full of individual shops and restaurants, and home to the Ffestiniog Railway, where you can travel by steam through spectacular Snowdonia scenery, to Blaenau Ffestiniog. The pretty village of Borth Y Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is a short walk or drive from the town. The well known and unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is just down the coast. Situated on a rugged clifftop on its own private peninsula, Portmeirion, famous as the location of the TV show The Prisoner and the final episode of Cold Feet, is surrounded by miles of sandy beaches and woodlands. The area also boasts castles at Criccieth and Harlech, and superb unspoilt beaches such as Black Rock Sands, where the sands stretch as far as the eye can see. An ideal location for the attractions of Snowdonia and the The Lleyn Peninsula.

No noise heard from the town or anything. Lovely and spacious accommodation with a very well equipped kitchen with modern appliances. Beds nice and soft, loads more room in the double than it looks in the picture, long and thin, rather than short. Good room in the twin, I had space to put the travelcot up between the two beds without needing to move the beds around. Sofas are a little slippy as they are leather and personal preference is not for leather, but can understand why they are more practical in a holiday let. Owner rang us on the way to let us know there may be a small issue with the highchair once we got there, but to let them know and they would be coming to change it over in the week. It was fine, just a little stained which is to be expected with a baby's highchair! It has also been changed over for a brand new one now anyway. I text the owner letting them know of a couple of things that could do with being fixed (nothing that affected the holiday, things such as one of the spotlights in the bathroom was out, it was 1 of 6 so didn't affect our stay at all) and these were sorted ASAP. Parking is available for two cars, but could potentially get a little tight depending on the size of your vehicles. Although pet friendly, there was not a hair in sight. Generally feels a well maintained flat. Will definitely be booking again.

.. so much so... we are hoping to visit again very soon!! This was a lastminute.com find as we had car trouble whilst we were already staying in Porthmadog and couldn't extend our stay in the property we initially booked in... but we felt blessed to have found this gem of a property and wished we could've stayed here from the get-go, as this property was more roomy and airy...!!! My husband, son and pooch were way more settled here
