Groes Newydd is an attractive looking cottage, simply furnished, but providing all that’s needed for a holiday stay.. Views over the estuary towards Penrhyndeudraeth, Minffordd and Portmeirion offer an ever- changing landscape. The single track road leading to the cottage may be a little daunting to drive along, especially the shorter, steeper route from the A496, which would not be recommended attempting in icy conditions, and the pathway leading from the parking space to the front door can be muddy. Once indoors however, there is instantly a cosy feeling provided by the AGA in the kitchen. However, some may find using an AGA difficult to master, and apart from the toaster and microwave there is no alternative cooking method. Although suitable cleaning products are provided by the owners, it might be worth mentioning that these are a requirement for the plumbing system, as the cottage is not on mains drainage. The weather in late November was not expected to be ideally suited to outdoor activities, but the cottage was well located for several nearby places of interest and on the days we did not want to venture out, we were able to entertain ourselves well enough to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing break.
