Map

Central to Porthmadog, Caernarfon, Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula, Ty Isaf provides a great location for your North Wales holiday. Situated on a tranquil farm just 5 miles north of Cricieth and 7.5 miles from Porthmadog self catering cottages don’t come much more convenient than this. It is also close to the western edge of Snowdonia, the beaches of the Llyn Peninsula and just 12 miles south of Caernarfon.

This Porthmadog self catering cottage is just 1 mile from the nearest pub and restaurant (Goat) in the village of Bryncir and a curry house is also within 1.5 miles. Other highly recommended restaurants nearby include Y Sgwar in Tremadog (7 miles) and Blas in Caernarfon. Penygroes (5 miles) has a grocery shop and Pant Du Vineyard where you can do some wine tasting.

Within 20 minutes of your Porthmadog self catering cottage you will find magnificent mountains and beautiful beaches, the All Wales Coast Path, narrow gauge railways, castles and endless attractions. Ty Isaf is also located 200 yards from Lôn Eifion Cycle Trail which follows the old railway line all the way from Bryncir to Caernarfon. Also on the doorstep is Bryncir Woollen Mill which turns Welsh wool from fleece to flannel before your eyes.

There are plenty of options for family days out, whatever the weather. Visit Dwyfor Rabbit Farm in Llanystumdwy (4.3 miles) to see various breeds of rabbits and farm animals such as ponies and lambs. For go karts, quadbikes, ten-pin bowling and more, Glasfryn Parc (11 miles) offers an ideal all weather venue. Greenwood Forest Park (16 miles) is another great day out in Snowdonia, as is the Electric Mountain in Llanberis. Travel underground through the caverns at Llechwedd Slate Caverns (19 miles), overground on the Zip Wire rides and step in to Wales' largest marine aquarium at Anglesey Sea Zoo.

For a more relaxing holiday, visit Cricieth for a fine example of a Welsh castle, whilst Caernarfon is home to possibly the most famous of Wales's castles. Llyn Peninsula is another great venue for relaxing – from stunning coastline and beautiful beaches to welcoming Welsh seaside villages. You also have the option of catching a boat to Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island) - one of Wales' Holy Islands. Visit the classic Italian village and gardens of Portmeirion (10 miles) and take a ride on the narrow gauge railway from the sea at Porthmadog into the mountains at Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Beaches

Cricieth has two popular beaches, either side of the Castle. These are a mixture of sand and pebble with a rocky area at the far end of the eastern beach exposing rock pools at low tide. 5 miles

Borth-y-Gest which is nestled on the side of the Glaslyn Estuary, has many sandy coves and small bays within a short walk. 8 miles

Black Rock Sands Beach - one of the most beautiful in Britain. Dogs are allowed on the beach in certain areas and you can take your car on to the beach for a small fee. 9.5 miles

There are also many more beautiful beaches on the Llyn Peninsula and the Caernarfon area (eg. Aberdesach and Dinas Dinlle).
