The Bothy is an interesting conversion of the original coach house to Wern Manor. Packed with traditional character and charm and furnished with antiques, it combines a traditional exterior and courtyard setting with a light and modern feel.This is a superb location for heading to the mountains and lakes of Snowdonia or to the stunning beaches nearby. The ground floor living room has a leather sofa, colourful tub chairs, flat screen TV/DVD and WiFi. The modern kitchen includes an electric oven, gas hob, microwave/grill, dishwasher and fridge, whilst a separate utility room houses a washing machine and fridge/freezer. The dining area has large windows looking out to the courtyard and an antique table and chairs for six. There is a spacious downstairs bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin and WC. Upstairs are three bedrooms, all nicely styled using bright accent colours and quirky artwork. They include; a double, a twin and a single. On this floor there is another bathroom (which can be configured into an ensuite to the double bedroom or shared between all three bedrooms) with a large walk-in shower, basin and WC.

Guests and their dogs are encouraged to explore the 15 acres of grounds which, although only remnants remain of this once formal garden, still provide a fascinating reminder of a bygone era, steeped in history. There is plenty of room to explore, picnic or play games on the lawn (croquet sets provided), or find a quiet corner to sit and relax. Features include yew avenues, sweeping lawns, woodland areas, a summer house and pond. Walks lead to the nearby village of Tremadog and to the beach and town of Porthmadog. Wern Manor is undergoing a process of gentle renovation and the owners' encourage guests to arrange a tour of the mansion to discover not only its fascinating history but also the renovation work and the exciting future that lies ahead for it.
