Ty Mawr Porthmadog, a 200-year-old holiday cottage in Gwynedd, is being highlighted by Sykes Cottages as an ideal winter getaway, offering sea views, original features, and a crackling open fire. Located in a rural landscape on the Llyn Peninsula, the property is just over a two-hour drive from Liverpool.
A Historic Setting with Modern Comforts
The cottage surrounds a 'Neolithic Burial Chamber', and Sykes Cottages describes the location as 'perfect for history buffs'. While retaining much of its original character, the property includes modern amenities such as central heating, underfloor heating, and an open fire, ensuring warmth during colder months.
The main sitting room features sofas and chairs arranged to maximise the sea views across Black Rock Sands beach. The cottage offers three bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, making it suitable for a family getaway.
Local Attractions and Activities
The surrounding farm remains active, with sheep, cattle, and alpaca grazing on the land. Black Rock Sands is nearby, and the seaside towns of Criccieth and Porthmadog are a short car journey away. Visitors can enjoy steam train rides in Snowdonia scenery, castle visits, beaches, dining options, and walking activities.
For those seeking a more luxurious option, Fred Olsen cruises offers a nine-night voyage from Liverpool to Bordeaux, Brest, Cherbourg, and Honfleur, departing May 12 and returning May 24.
