Bron Y Foel Bach with adjacent house which dates back to 14th century.

Bron y Foel Bach is a traditional stone barn with slate roof from local quarry. It is sensitively converted to combine the best of both old and new. Set on a craggy hillside, half a mile from the road, surrounded by stonewalled fields, this cottage offers peace and tranquillity with fantastic views of sea, hills and countryside. This isn't just a house for the summer, it is ideal for all the year round. A great house for 5 but also perfect for that getaway from it all romantic break. It offers many opportunities for walks - up the mountain behind, along coastal paths, and in the Snowdonia National Park just a few miles to the north; climbing can also be done nearby at Tremadog Rocks.

A mile away is the small town of Porthmadog from where the famous Ffestiniog Railway runs into the mountains to the old slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog.
Close by is the Italianate village of Portmeirion designed by the influential 20th century architect, Sir Clough Williams-Ellis.
There are plenty of opportunities for bird watching, with choughs, ravens, barn and tawny owls and many more locally. There is an osprey RSPB nest site nearby.
Black Rock, a short drive away has an excellent sandy beach and golf course and there are sailing centres at Pwllheli and Abersoch.
