Cracking traditional Indian cuisine. The food here is great. Beware, you will need to drive to collect (15 min drive) as they don't deliver to the cabin.

If you're in Porthmadog, this is the place to go. Delicious fish and chips with plenty of rolling specials. Pick something up and head to the harbour for a meal with a view.

This place is a real hidden gem. Located right on the estuary, the views are stunning with food to match. It's towards Dolgellau so not far at all from the cabin.

Local walks of all difficulties

My pick of the best walks near to the cabin...
[Easy] Home to a mellow walk where you can see some incredible waterfalls. The terrain and gradient are easy so this is suitable for the youngsters. It's also well sheltered for the wetter days - wet days mean more impressive waterfalls too! Drop me a message for directions and further details.
