“Brilliant equipped house.”

We went to celebrate my 80th birthday with my 3 children and their spouses. Top quality furnishing, beds and kitchen equipment. The only improvement I would recommend is extending the patio area into the rear garden and making some patio area in the front garden to catch the morning sun and give a view of the sea. But highly recommended anyway. Thanks

“The house itself is very nice and comftable .”

Plenty of hot water and bedrooms and kitchen (once cooker figured out) were great. I would suggest you take your own soap and if there are 8 of you e xra toilet rolls.The absence of a welcome pack explaining how things work etc was disappointing and we felt the outside was misrepresented.It was stated that there was parking for 4 cars but the parking area was shared with the house at the back.We were 4 single people and had 3 cars as did the other people so there were 6 cars which made it awkward especially as the workmen next door had a right of way across. The garden was not enclosed for anyone thinking of taking a dog. The main area of concern was the lack of any information on re cycling I.e on dividing It up and which bin to put it in.On checking the large green bins outside it showed all waste just dumped there including food which certainly went against the grain!

“We loved One Dolfor, it was bright, airy, warm and spotless.”

Sadly the builders moved in next door and the noise was awful. I contacted Peter and he knew nothing about the building work and kindly let us move into his other property for the rest of our stay which was equally warm and comfortable. My thanks go to Dawn the housekeeper who managed to get us into the second property so quickly and that was a massive task! We had a really lovely week in a lovely part of the world.

“One Dolfur is an absolutely beautiful house in a truly stunning location.”

Immaculately clean, very stylish interior and facilities. We could not have asked for anything more and we will definitely be returning. We will be recommending One Dolfur to everyone we know. Thank you Ali

“Lounge sofas need updating.”

Addition of sieve, colonder and pizza cutter in the kitchen would have been appreciated. Apart from these small items everything else was excellent.

“A beautiful property in a lovely location.”

It was our second stay there and we absolutely love it. So bright fresh and clean. The beds are so comfortable and is lovely to have en suites in each room. I can highly recommend One Dolfor.

“A lovely modern property.”

It was very cool in the house during the heatwave. The owner was very informative and the children really enjoyed using the kayak at the property. Thank you so much.

“We (two of us) have just had a lovely holiday staying in One Dolfor.”

We spent the week walking the coast path from Nefyn to Aberdaron which was absolutely stunning. We highly recommend using the flexi bus. They were brilliant and never let us down. They met us in car parks (near the coast path) and drove us to where we wanted to start walking from and then we walked back to our car. One Dolfor was immaculate. A little disappointed no goody bag was left - no tea bags/coffee/sugar/milk either. This is a first and we stay in a lot of holiday lets. The bed was extremely comfy and the shower was fantastic. Lovely well equipped kitchen. Agree with previous reviews re the lounge which could be better. It was fine for two people, however, you would definitely not get 8 people seated in there. The sofa's were very hard and uncomfortable and need replacing. Also the TV was too small and too high with wires hanging down. The lounge would look much nicer without the white desk in the corner. The house is in a lovely peaceful setting just 8 minutes walk up the hill from the lovely village. We only had one car so parking was fine. Good choice to eat in or take away chippy/cafe's/pub/hotel restaurant and good spar shop. Please don't let the negative comment on the lounge put you off renting One Dolfor as the bedrooms/bathrooms and kitchen were all perfect and as there are tv's in all bedrooms people could spread out. We will keep eye on the property and if the lounge is improved we would definitely return as we were extremely happy with everything else at One Dolfor

“Wonderful property in a beautiful seaside village.”

Really well equipped and extremely clean. Would highly recommend a visit. We loved every aspect of our time there.

“This is a lovely cottage where four of us stayed for a long weekend.”

It was wet and windy outside as you would expect in November in Wales and it was lovely to return to warm cottage and a log fire. The bedrooms were excellent as was the kitchen dining area where we could cook and talk. (Re a previous comment - There is a microwave in the dual oven) We agree the lounge would be small for eight adults. There is plenty to see and do locally even this time of year and the leaflets in the cottage were helpful. We were lucky to meet the owner who was very helpful showing us round but all the pre visit instructions would have got us sorted. Thank you One Dolfor.

“Aberdaron is a lovely village in a beautiful area of Wales.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The bedrooms and kitchen/diner are much bigger than the photos suggest. The lounge is a little on the small size for eight, but the weather was so nice we only went in there for some shade and to cool down. Thank you for letting us share your property. It was the perfect remedy for our daughters and families, and us, after the stress of COVID!

Michael June 2021

“A wonderful dormer bungalow with all mod-cons in the charming village of Aberdaron.”

The beds are really comfortable and the en-suites spotless. The kitchen has modern appliances and is a very pleasant place to enjoy your meals. We were a little surprised to find there was no microwave but we managed OK with the ovens and hob. There is a steep hill down into the village and ticketed parking in the National Trust car park (if you cannot find an empty space elsewhere). Good selection of places to eat and have a drink. Some spectacular views looking down over the bay and good walks. Would definitely go/stay there again.

Wendy June 2021

“Dolfor was fresh, clean and comfortable, with a lovely view and nice amenities.”

A couple of things...the tumble dryer was out of service (it is in the listing as available to use), and the owner had lovely gardens and had just planted lots of pots but only had a watering can available-a hose would have been less time consuming. I realise we weren’t obligated to water, but felt the flowers and plants would’ve died as there was no rain. Recycling was cryptic, as there were 5 categories for separation, yet only 3 bins. Labels would’ve helped. A few unbreakable glasses would’ve been nice for alfresco dining. Minor issues that in no significant way detracted from the property or enjoyment of our stay.

- Wendy, June 2021
Deborah October 2020

“Loved the house apart from the lounge area which was a bit of a disappointment.”

Found having desk/office chair in there very strange. Would have been lovely with better tv and dvd and comfier sofas. Downstairs bathroom not good, floor wet for hours after showering. Everything else spot on and would return. Beautiful area.

- Deborah, October 2020
Helen August 2020

“We loved our stay at 1 Dolfor.”

The standard of equipment and furnishings was excellent. It was especially good for a senior member of our family who loved the adapted shower and wetroom. We liked the outside patio area and we're able to have a barbeque as the weather was great. With sea views, it was the most comfortable place we have ever stayed in as a family.

The property

This luxury holiday home rests in Aberdaron, a small seaside village located on the Lyn Heritage Coast.

One Dolfor is a wonderful home-from-home to relax in when you're not out exploring this peaceful coastal area.

Step inside and be welcomed into the hallway, immediately taking in the bright and airy interior, before finding the sitting room where a woodburning stove can warm you.

Enjoy cooking in the excellent kitchen/diner, home to a great range of appliances beneath the sleek grey units, with the dining table opposite the patio doors and a utility room that holds the washing machine and tumble dryer.

Also on the ground floor is one of the two king-size bedrooms, featuring a pretty interior decor with a Smart TV and an en-suite wet room.

Travel upstairs to find the remaining three bedrooms including two twin bedrooms and the second king-size, all with Smart TVs too and en-suite shower rooms.

The patio area outside is a charming spot to enjoy a morning coffee, and One Dolfor is just a short walk away from the shops and pubs in the village.

Head down to Aberdaron and walk along the gorgeous mile-long beach which sits on the Llyn Heritage coast, made up of golden sand with waters perfect for surfing, kayaking and windsurfing.

Sea kayaking is a perfect way to explore the coastline from the waters and visit hidden coves.

Catch a boat to Bardsey Island and explore the Isle of 20,000 saints and the ruins of St Mary's Abbey.

This trip comes with the opportunity to do some seal and sea bird spotting too, with dolphins sometimes seen in the area as well!

The National Trust owned Plas yn Rhiw is a small Welsh manor house, around six miles from Aberdaron, showcasing lovely gardens.

Walkers can enjoy heading along the Wales Coast Path while cyclists can delight in the quiet roads and lanes of the Llyn Peninsula, with bike hire available from Llyn Cycle Hire, and several dedicated cycle routes to access.

One Dolfor will be an immaculate base to wind down in when you're not reveling in the beauty of the Llyn Peninsula.

Note: This property can be booked alongside Ref. 941271, together sleeping 16 guests.
