The property

Nestled in the heart of Aberdaron village is this well-presented, detached cottage, Gladstone.

Set in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with stunning beaches and coastline, at the tip of the Llyn Peninsula, Gladstone is a fabulous escape for families or groups of friends looking to experience the delights of the region.

This large holiday home has been converted from what was originally the local smithy and retains many original features including two inglenook fireplaces with woodburning stoves.

The heart of the cottage is the spacious kitchen, dominated by a farmhouse style dining table and a range of appliances, making it an excellent spot for home-cooking.

Just off the kitchen is the utility, complete with washing machine and tumble dryer, handy for when your trails take off on a muddier route.

Spend your down time in the lounge, furnished with two sofas, easy chairs, a Smart TV and an inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove.

Continue to the outside, where you can discover the fully enclosed grassed grounds with small patio, garden bench and picnic table, perfect for a drink on a balmy evening.

When you start to tire, climb to the first floor and discover the bedrooms, including a family room with king-size and single bed, a double and two twin, each carpeted and simply furnished.

The large fourth attic bedroom is accessible by another set of stairs and has three singles, a TV and DVD player and limited headspace.

There is a children's play area adjacent to Gladstone, ideal for those with young families.

The local village of Aberdaron boasts two award-winning bars both serving meals and light refreshments, cafés and a fish and chip shop selling locally caught seafood, so there’s plenty of options.

Those avid walkers join the South West Coastal Path, just a moments' walk from doorstep, offering stunning walks in both directions.

Traeth Aberdaron beach is a wonderful choice for an afternoon of sunbathing, while a little further afield is the gorgeous Porth Ysgo beach, as well as the lovely Porth Simdde reserve and the shoreside 12th century church.

Brush up on the local history by visiting the Secret Nuclear Bunker, the Roman Fort close to Abersoch or you can hop on a boat trip to Bardsey Island.

There’s plenty to explore whilst holiday at Gladstone!

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.
