The Experience
This charming whitewashed cottage is one of five on the Wern Estate, on the edge of Snowdonia National Park. You let yourself in using the key safe, but housekeeper Kerrie will pop in during your visit and is on hand if needed – ask about having a home-cooked meal waiting when you arrive 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 while you indulge in the generous welcome hamper, which includes homemade cake, jam, Welsh cakes and biscuits as well as fresh ground coffee, tea and an artisan loaf. Pick your own herbs from the garden and cook up a storm in the farmhouse kitchen or use the barbecue on the patio when it’s balmy. Immerse yourself into the hot tub under the stars before bed!
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).

Cottage was excellent. Very cosy and you could tell that care and effort had been put in to the decoration and interior. Heating worked perfectly. Was a pleasure coming back there after a day out. Service was excellent as well from the guide doc to Kerrie helping us with more logs and answering our questions promptly.

This is a lovely place to spend a week or a few days. Incredibly quiet and peaceful, carefully and sensitively restored Welsh longhouse with a pretty stream and footpath running through the grounds and a well stocked picturesque trout fishing lake in the adjacent field. The hot tub is a plus, a little complicated to get the hang of at first but easy once you’ve done it once. The soaps and shampoos were a lovely addition as was the welcome basket and the local information. Thanks again, we hope to come back some time soon if you’ll have us of course!

We had a lovely stay in this home from home with everything that you could possibly need. We look forward to going again. You must visit Black Rock Sands stunning beach with amazing views. We also visited Porthdinllaen and Nefyn Bay beautiful walks along the coast. We were lucky to see seals. If looking for Hikes We did Snowdonia views are breathtaking from the top. There are also smaller hikes around Snowdonia so much choice. Beautiful part of Wales

Really beautifully appointed cottage, with a very generous welcome basket. Particularly liked the provision of beach towels as well as bath towels. Tips for other travellers Book early for Dylan’s in Criccieth, and for The Potted Lobster in Abersoch. Make time to hike to the Watkin Pool for a wild swim halfway up Snowdon, head to Black Rock Sands after 4/4:30pm as you can get onto the beach for free. Chippy van is on the beach on Fridays. Walking in Newburgh Forest on Anglesey ended in an epic beach. Puffin Island boat trip is a highlight. Read the Welsh Princes trilogy before arrival.

Excellent all round. From the time of booking to general communication and welcome on arrival. A top standard cottage with the added bonus of a wood fired hot tub. Heaven.

We had a lovely stay at Pont Faen. It feels so remote and peaceful yet it’s actually very close to all the local points of interest. I think it’s probably the best holiday cottage we’ve stayed in. A real treat! Thank you

We enjoyed our week at Pont Faen very much. The weather was poor, with lots of rain, but it was lovely to return to the cosiness of the warm cottage and to be able to use the washing machine and tumble drier after a day out. Although Pont Faen is isolated, it is within easy reach of many of Snowdonia's attractions with beautiful scenery: forests, mountains, and beaches, as well as castles and other places of interest. We had a lovely relaxing week.

Great few days away last minute. Incredibly peaceful. Lovely cottage in a lovely setting with everything you could hope for. Would have liked to have explored the estate more but weather wasn’t great, good location to explore the peninsula.

This was a beautiful cottage hidden deep in the heart of the Welsh countryside. Spotlessly clean, with fabulous amenities, the cottage was cosy and welcoming, with fantastic furnishings and décor. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts and the hot tub was a lovely treat. Cannot recommend highly enough, the perfect place to get away from it all and relax.

We had a perfect relaxing stay in Pont Faen! We loved everything about the cottage - it’s private layout, well designed rooms, beautiful views. It had everything you need to cook a meal or BBQ, play a game, read a book or chill in a hot tub. Communication with our housekeeper was quick and efficient. Thank you Tamar, would definitely recommend Pont Faen cottage!

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.
Local points of interest from Tamar Ferguson
- 2000 Acre private rural Estate surrounded by oak woodlands. The gardens are lawned and private and you can fish sea-trout in the lake.
- You can fish in our private lake at a very reasonable cost. Our lake has been stocked solely for the use of our guests.
- Porthmadog, with it's marina and shops, is just 5 minutes away.
- Black Rock Sands is a must - the beach is so vast that you can drive your car onto it. Perfect for dog walking, shell collecting, windsurfing or just having a good old run about.
- Llanbedrog is a charming little seaside village with a superb beach and the most famous line of beach huts in North Wales. Visit the Oriel Plas Glyn Y Weddw Gallery for homemade cake and see David's (the owner of Y Boncyn) sculpture "Louise" in the garden.
- You can enjoy our lovely eco-friendly wood fired hot tub whilst staying with us.
