About this property
Cottage on the harbour front with sea and mountain views in glorious Snowdonia
If you’re looking for a special, well equipped holiday house in North Wales, as close to the Seafront as you can get, then this has to be it!
Borth-Y-Gest Village is a hidden gem in North Wales, providing a quiet place from which to explore the many attractions of the North Wales coast and inland areas.
In an elevated position overlooking the harbour No.5 is a fully refurbished Victorian holiday cottage on the harbour front with great views of Borth Y Gest Harbour and mountains beyond.
One of the best locations in Borth –y–Gest on the harbour front, on the sweeping coastline of The Lleyn Peninsula and set against the backdrop of Snowdonia. Turn right out of the front door and you are literally on the coastal path!
Built in the late 1800s, No. 5 was previously one of the old pilot houses on Amanda Terrace named after a small ship built in the harbour (The Amanda).. It is now a holiday home arranged on 3 floors and retaining much of its original character.
This spacious yet cosy property, which has undergone extensive refurbishment and redecoration, is equipped to the highest standard and is designed to be beautiful, comfortable, practical and relaxing.
No.5 has been sympathetically restored and is well proportioned with great views, of the harbour, No. 5 Harbourside House is ideally suited for quiet breaks and hectic family holidays alike.
With 3 bedrooms, 2 family bathrooms, a large, open plan dining kitchen, and a lovely sitting room with wood burning stove and with views of the harbour and a further cosy snug / attic room. No.5 Harbourside House will happily accommodate gatherings of up to 5 people yet is equally suited to a quiet weekend away for two.
Whether you’re after a cosy evening in for two, relaxing in the downstairs sitting room next to the wood burner, or a laid back night chatting with friends over a Gin and Tonic on the front terrace overlooking the harbour No. 5 , is perfectly suited to both summer or winter breaks. With the coastal path right on your doorstep, and Porthmadog harbour and town fifteen minutes’ walk away No. 5 Harbourside House is ideally placed.
For a self-catering holiday cottage by the sea, you can’t get any closer!

About the host
Hosted by Matthew Willing
We are very proud to present Harbourside House it is our passion to provide a really lovely holiday home, the kind of which we would expect and appreciate to turn up to for a great holiday. We passionately believe that we have provided a great venue for you. We have been holidaying in Borth y Gest for may years our three three teenage children love the place. The house is really well set up for families friends a couples alike.
Why they chose this property
This is our family holiday home and we are pleased to share it. We love the location and the house just feels so right for us all. We particularly love the view and chilling out reading from the window seats and taking in a glass of wine or two on the front terrace just watching the world go by. In an elevated position overlooking the harbour No.5 is a fully refurbished Victorian holiday house tastefully decorated and furnished to the highest of standards.
What makes this property unique
The best thing about Harbourside House is the location. The view, the walks, and the amenities nearby. We love it.
