Our places in Porthmadog
There are 12 places in Porthmadog, and most are built for groups rather than pairs. Three bedrooms is the usual size, with a few larger houses for 9 or 10 guests. One place sleeps only 2, so couples have little choice. Prices vary a good deal from one place to the next. Some sleeping 8 or 9 cost less per night than a smaller place with a sea view, so it pays to compare size against price. If you are travelling with a dog, check the pet terms first, as some places accept pets only on request.
The hot tub is the first thing to note at Llys Cyngar, a detached holiday home in Porthmadog that sleeps 9. Inside there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Porthmadog sits where the Glaslyn estuary meets Tremadog Bay, with Snowdonia behind it and the Llyn Peninsula along the coast. The lodges here suit groups and families more than couples. Places usually sleep around 7 guests, the largest takes 10, and most have three or four bedrooms.
Prices are on the higher side for a short break, but the range is wide. Some larger places with a log burner are noticeably cheaper than smaller ones with a sea view. Half of the places have a hot tub and half have a log burner, and two thirds accept pets. Every place has a garden. Guest ratings are high, at 9.1 out of 10. Sea view places and those with a hot tub usually cost more than the rest.
Features
The garden is the one feature every place shares. Hot tubs and log burners each appear in half of the places, but they differ on price. Places with a log burner are usually much cheaper than those with a hot tub, and places with a sea view sit towards the dearer end. Fishing is listed for half of them, which fits the estuary and harbour setting. A high chair is listed for more than half, useful if you bring a toddler. A children's play area is less common, and those places tend to be cheaper.

By number of guests
Places sleeping 5 to 6 are the most common, with three bedrooms and a usual price a little above the larger group. Places sleeping 7 to 9 have four bedrooms and usually cost slightly less per night, even though they are bigger. Per person, the larger places work out clearly cheaper. For a group of 8 or 9, one big place is therefore better value than two smaller ones. For a family of 5 or 6, expect to pay more per head, but you still have three bedrooms and a garden.
Nights are cheapest in November and December, when the usual price is lowest of the six months shown. January and February are the dearest, and March and April stay a little above the autumn level. That pattern is the reverse of what you might expect for a winter break, so check the dates before you assume off-season means cheaper. Availability is wider in the spring months, with more free dates in March than in December. If you want a December weekend, book early, since fewer dates are left.

Around Porthmadog
Several nearby towns have lodges too, and some cost less. Criccieth has the largest choice, with about 25 places. Llanbedr, Dyffryn and Chwilog have fewer places but start at lower nightly prices than Porthmadog's usual rate. Harlech has fewer places and is clearly dearer. These towns are close enough to treat as one area, so if Porthmadog is fully booked or too dear for your dates, widen the search along the coast.
