The Experience

This charming whitewashed cottage is one of five on the Wern Estate, on the edge of Snowdonia National Park. You cook in the farmhouse kitchen and dine in the conservatory looking out over the gardens.

Snuggle next to the wood-burner in the sitting room with a book or play games – this is a great place to get away from it all.  Pick your own herbs from the garden, enjoy a barbecue on the patio when it’s balmy. Immerse yourself into the hot tub under the stars before bed, or book a private session in the sauna – a ten-minute walk or short drive.

A pretty stream runs alongside the house, and at the back there’s a secret garden with inspiring views across a private lake to the surrounding hills of the Llyn Peninsula. Walk to the beach at Black Rock Sands in 40 minutes, explore the nearby seaside towns of Criccieth and Porthmadog and have a fascinating day out at Portmeirion, designed in the style of an Italian village (a seven-mile drive).

Reviews

Alexandra, Northamptonshire

Pont Faen is an idyllic country cottage in a peaceful and private setting down a long country lane. We had a wonderful stay here, zip wiring, abseiling and canyoning. The cottage fitted the five of us in well with excellent facilities. The furnishings and linen were perfect and the wood burning made a wonderfully cosy sitting room. The kitchen was very well equipped and the breakfast room worked very well in terms of layout.


John, Hereford

This was 'lock down' year and it was so important for us to find an outstanding property in a quiet location that we could use as a base for exploring the Lyn Peninsular and visit Anglesey. We could not have chosen better. We were absolutely delighted with the property and its location. Despite all that Covid could throw at us we were able to enjoy a truly wonderful holiday, one that will not be forgotten and which we shall undoubtedly return to when the opportunity presents itself.


Damian, Solihull

Utterly magical cottage. First class cleanliness, finish, facilities, fixtures and fittings. Surprisingly spacious for the 5 of us too. We loved our time here and didn't want to leave. The peace and quiet is remarkable; the tranquility seems to absorb any stress out of you..!


Dick, Hexham

A very peaceful, quiet and tranquil place that has clearly been renovated to a high standard. Extremely clean, comfortable and well equipped. Very well located to explore local area, beaches etc. We had a great week and would certainly return. I have no hesitation in recommending to others.


Sally, Manchester

Great cottage, great location as it's close to nice villages and the amenities in the cottage are good. Only small issues such as difficult pathway to the house with a wheelchair but other than that has everything you need and ample parking. Driveway is further than you think so just keep driving!! Booked to stay again next year.


Location

The neighbourhood

The Llyn Peninsula is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Welsh Coast Path runs around it, passing coves, beaches, churches and the remains of Iron Age forts. The Victorian seaside resort of Criccieth, six minutes’ drive away, has the remains of a 13th-century castle, as well as independent shops and good restaurants – try Dylan’s, a seafood restaurant in an art deco building facing the sandy beach.
