Right then, after much searching on the net and trolling various sites (that ownersdirect one is very good by the way) I've found a place I'm happy ish with. There were other places that I'd have gone for but the location wasn't quite right.

Anyway we're off to Borth Y Gest which is a village within walking distance (half a mile or so, so good for the pub!) to Porthmadog. I wanted to get a nice romantic cottage but they where all in locations that I didn't really fancy so we're staying in a place called "Sea captains Hse" in Borth Y Gest. I think this is a good central location for exploring the area and hopefully I can get the wife up Snowdonia!!

Thanks again everyone for all the help and advice, its been much appreciated. Roll on June
