Welcome to Tonnau, a truly impressive four bedroom holiday home with stunning sea views, perched elegantly above the picturesque village of Borth-y-Gest. From the moment you arrive, the contemporary architecture and the promise of panoramic vistas set the scene for an unforgettable North Wales escape. With its striking white and grey cladding, large windows, and a generous glass-fronted balcony, Tonnau certainly makes a statement, and rightfully so.

Step inside and prepare to be enveloped by a meticulously designed interior that seamlessly blends modern luxury with a relaxed coastal vibe. The ground floor unveils an expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, bathed in natural light and, crucially, those captivating views. Your eyes will immediately be drawn to the bi-fold doors that peel back to reveal the spectacular raised patio, blurring the lines between indoor comfort and outdoor splendour. Imagine savouring your morning coffee or an evening tipple here, gazing out across the bay towards the mountains of Eryri. The living space itself is a testament to comfort and style, boasting plush seating, a contemporary fireplace – perfect for those cooler evenings when a little warmth and ambiance are required – and even a telescope for stargazing or spotting distant boats. It's the kind of room where conversations flow as freely as the sea breeze.

Adjacent to this lies the dining area, featuring a robust table beneath a beautifully crafted light fitting, offering a fantastic spot for celebratory meals or simply sharing stories of the day's adventures. The kitchen, a true chef's delight, showcases sleek dark blue cabinetry contrasted with warm wooden panelling and integrated appliances. The striking wave-themed splashback subtly reminds you of your enviable coastal position. For added convenience, a well-appointed utility room, complete with washing machine and tumble dryer, and a separate WC are tucked away on this floor, ensuring all practicalities are effortlessly handled. It's also on this middle floor you'll find the first of Tonnau's four bedrooms: a comfortable single room, ideal for a quiet retreat.

Descend to the basement, and you’ll discover a hidden gem – the snug/cinema room. This inviting space is designed for ultimate relaxation, featuring comfortable seating, a PS5 for a spot of digital escapism, and a charming wood-panelled feature wall. It's the perfect retreat for a rainy afternoon or a dedicated movie night.

As you ascend to the first floor, you'll find the remaining three bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and tranquillity. Tonnau boasts two indulgent king-size bedrooms, offering ample space and, no doubt, the best of those incredible sea views to greet you each morning. There’s also a charming twin bedroom, making Tonnau ideal for families or groups of friends. The main bathroom on this floor is a sanctuary of calm, featuring high-spec fixtures, a walk-in shower, washbasin, WC, and, for the ultimate unwind, a Japanese soaking bath, a blissful indulgence after a day of exploring. Complementing this, one of the king-size bedrooms benefits from its own en-suite shower room, also finished to a high standard with a shower, wash basin, and WC, providing an extra touch of privacy and convenience.

Outside, Tonnau continues to impress. The already mentioned raised patio is undoubtedly the star of the show, providing an unrivalled vantage point for those breathtaking sea vistas. Beyond this, a thoughtfully terraced rear garden offers another peaceful seating area, a private haven for quiet contemplation or enjoying the fresh coastal air. And for those with electric vehicles, a 7kW EV charger ensures you’re always ready for your next adventure. Parking is made easy with space for one car directly in front of the garage, and an additional car can be accommodated on the pavement outside the property. Tonnau truly is a high-spec haven, designed for memorable holidays by the sea.

Location

 

Nestled serenely on the edge of the Llyn Peninsula, Tonnau enjoys an enviable position in Borth-y-Gest, a tranquil seaside village that truly embodies the charm of coastal North Wales. The immediate area offers a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle, with a pace of life dictated by the tides. Borth-y-Gest itself is home to a couple of charming local eateries, including a delightful cafe and a bistro, perfect for leisurely lunches or evening meals without venturing far. The village's quiet sandy coves are ideal for gentle walks, rock pooling, or simply soaking up the sublime marine atmosphere.

Just a short, scenic stroll along the coastal path, approximately 1 mile away, brings you to the bustling harbour town of Porthmadog. Here, you'll find a wider array of amenities including independent shops, supermarkets, pubs, and restaurants catering to all tastes. Porthmadog is also the home of the famous Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways, where you can embark on unforgettable steam train journeys deep into the heart of Eryri National Park – a truly iconic North Wales experience, as showcased in our local images. The nearest beach, a beautiful stretch of sand, is conveniently within 3 miles, offering ample space for sunbathing, sandcastle building, or a bracing dip in the sea.

Beyond the immediate vicinity, the treasures of North Wales unfold before you, all within easy reach of Tonnau. The eccentric and enchanting Italianate village of Portmeirion (approx. 3 miles, 10-minute drive) is a must-visit, offering architectural delights and stunning coastal views. For outdoor enthusiasts, the majestic peaks of Eryri National Park are practically on your doorstep, with countless walking and hiking trails, from gentle strolls to challenging ascents, all within a 20-mile radius. Thrill-seekers can explore Zip World (around 15 miles, 30-minute drive), offering exhilarating zip lines and underground adventures. Historic castles abound, with Harlech Castle (approx. 9 miles, 20-minute drive) and Criccieth Castle (approx. 5 miles, 15-minute drive) standing proudly as testament to Wales' rich heritage. For a deeper dive into Welsh history and slate mining, the National Slate Museum in Llanberis (approx. 20 miles, 40-minute drive) is a fascinating day out. Whether your ideal holiday involves rugged mountain adventures, lazy beach days, cultural explorations, or simply unwinding with a superb view, Tonnau's location is perfectly poised to deliver.
