“This property had a mixed review from us Check out 10am was too early and check in 4pm was a little late you’re virtually missing 2 days.”

We think 12 noon check out in the quieter months is fair and a 2pm check in. You were also expecting us to wash and clean everything before leaving ….

- Joanna, September 2024

Thanks for your feedback, in the quieter months when guests have contacted us to request an earlier checkin or a later checkout we have tried to accommodate and there is no need to wash and clean everything as we employ professional cleaners between every guests stay. Hopefully see you again. Property Owner
Bernie August 2024

“Loved the location of Castell, it really was a very short walk to ther beach.”

This beach however is contantly visited by tractors, taking boats onto and off thre beach, and storing the boat 'trollies' for transport! Some holiday makers had to move to make room for the contraptions! However a nearby beach was much quieter, and could vbe accessed on foot, or a short drive. Castell was a comfortable property, and suited our family mix well. The property was well supplied with kitchen equipment, and utensils, we had everything we needed. The only criticism I had wsas the cleaning of thre property, did lack attention to detail. Behind furniture (Sofa) was found to be very dusty with cobwebs. The areas around skirting boards were also not well cleaned. Shower cubicles showed signs of mould and could have been better cleaned. We did have a very good stay, despite the weather, just need to make sure your cleaners do a better job!

- Bernie, August 2024

Delighted you had a good week and enjoyed Castell and our facilities, we use professional cleaners and we will pass your comments to them, hope to see you again. Property Owner

Jemma April 2024

“Absolutely fantastic!”

We had the best weekend staying in Castell. The house is perfect and has everything you need with so much space, spotless too! Beds were really comfortable. The short walk to the beach was definitely an added bonus to this beautiful house with amazing views. We were treated very kindly by the weather so had the most perfect weekend. Highly recommended to anyone. Hosts were very friendly and communication 1st class.

- Jemma, April 2024

Delighted you had such a good stay and enjoyed the facilities and central location, it is great to hear guests love our family holiday home as much as we do, look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Nicola October 2023

“Lovely property, clean and comfortable.”

The log burner and hot tub really made it. Would definitely rebook in the future. The only minor concerns were the carpets on the stairs and landing could do with a deep clean along with shower units. Also a canopy over the hot tub would have been great. Highly recommend

- Nicola, October 2023

Delighted you had a good time and enjoyed the accommodation for your holiday and we look forward to welcoming you back. We will pick up on your minor concerns mentioned and again look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Julie June 2023

“We very much enjoyed our stay at Castell which is a lovely, well appointed and spacious property.”

A few minutes walk takes you into town but there are restaurants and a cafe closer too. Level access to the harbour and Warren beach (at low tide) but a few minutes walk up the hill towards Pwllheli takes you to the sand dunes access to the Warren beach which is great for early morning dog walks.

- Julie, June 2023

We are pleased you enjoyed your stay at Castell and appreciated the house and location, hope to welcome you back soon Property Owner
Suzanne June 2023

“Lovely, central property overlooking Abersoch harbour.”

The hot tub was an added bonus! Well worth a stay.

Christine May 2023

“We had an amazing time at this Beautiful cottage.”

Everything you need. The hot tub was great and the location perfect. Bed linen and towels were perfect. Like a 5 star hotel. Will definitely be back

- Christine, May 2023

Thanks for your positive feedback and pleased you enjoyed our family holiday home, look forward to welcoming you back again Property Owner
Robert May 2023

“We consider this property to be ideally located for Abersoch centre and the harbour beach.”

At low tide the Warren beach is accessible. The property has had a number of internal improvements since last year and is well equipped. We found it to be very clean, neat and tidy on arrival.

- Robert, May 2023

It’s great to welcome back returning guests and pleased you like the improvements made for this year . We look forward to welcoming you back again. Property Owner
Tina May 2023

“We had a lovely week at this cottage.”

Lovely position on the outskirts of Abersoch but only a short walk into the village centre. The front garden is a sun trap which was great. The hot tub was a big bonus, it was very well maintained and lovely and warm. Easy to use. Cottage is very well equipped, clean and well maintained. We had 1 question which was quickly answered in an email from the owner. We would highly recommend a stay here.

- Tina, May 2023

It’s great to hear that you enjoyed Castell for your holiday so much, always nice to know guests appreciate the location and home from home comforts , hope to see you again Property Owner
Jill May 2023

“We had a fantastic stay at the dog friendly, comfortable and well-equipped Castell.”

It has everything that makes it a home from home. The situation is across the road from a beach and a short 10 minute walk from the town amenities. The local bus runs frequently with a bus stop 25m away from the front door. The hot tub in the garden was a joy and the high lookout gave wonderful sea views. Thanks for having us.

- Jill, May 2023

Delighted you had such a great holiday and enjoyed Castell soo much including the sea views and beach just across the road. Hope to see you again soon Property Owner
Alison April 2023

“Amazing location and lovely house.”

. just couldn’t find a clothes horse which would of been useful for when the weather isn’t great for drying … apart from that amazing!!

- Alison, April 2023

Glad to hear you had a great time at Castell. Sorry couldn’t find the clothes horse for your stay , there is one in the downstairs cloakroom. Property Owner
Elizabeth March 2023

“Castell is a lovely house, beautifully presented and with excellent facilities.”

Turn left from the property and after a few minutes walk is the Warren beach and turning right from Castell is the lovely village of Abersoch with its shops, pubs and restaurants. The house was beautifully clean and warm with the extra benefit of a log burner. My daughter and partner used the hot tub one evening which they loved and it was also serviced by an engineer during our stay which is an excellent indication that the owner is aware of his obligations to visitors at his property. I cannot fault this property and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting to holiday in this beautiful part of the world.

- Elizabeth, March 2023

Always lovely to hear people enjoying our family holiday home in Abersoch for their holidays . Look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Mark January 2023

“Great location,lovely comfortable property.”

Spotless and with everything working. Hot tub added bonus. TV needs an upgrade and viewing needs to be comfortable for all in the lounge to see. Only disappointment was the lack of recycling facilities.

- Mark, January 2023

Delighted you had a great holiday, in terms of recycling everything goes in the one bin so it’s easier for guests and our commercial refuse collection service then sort the recycling from general waste at their depot. Property Owner
Pam December 2022

“Absolutely gorgeous place , fabulous setting and all as described.”

The only little thing was that we couldn’t use the hot tub until the second day as it had been cleaned and refilled . We waited until 0100 but it was still not up to temp . Everything else was lovely .

- Pam, December 2022

Glad you had a great stay and hope to see you again. We change the water in the hot tub so it’s fresh and clean for each new guest , it needs to then heat back up, sometimes it can take a little longer but we are sure our guests appreciate there is always a full changeover for their stay. Property Owner
Abi October 2022

“House was fine, location good.”

Hot tub was good. Although couple of frustrations that we couldn’t have expected for the price we paid. No dishwasher tablets, very little toilet roll in each loo, so had to go straight out to buy extra. No egg cups. The main issue was that it could do with a really good clean, loads of dust and dirt under sofas, behind bedside cabinets etc. including old chocolate wrappers. As soon as you go to plug in a charger you see how dirty the place really was. I’d also expect curtains that actually kept the light out, they were so cheap and thin they were useless, which made the whole place feel cheap.

- Abi, October 2022

Thanks for your feedback, we have raised your comments with our professional cleaners. If it had been raised while staying, the cleaners would have come out to address any concerns you had. On the curtains they are Laura Ashley and we have never had comments before but we will see if black out linings can be added. Property Owner

Carolynn July 2022

“Lovely house, perfectly positioned in close proximity to the town of Abersoch and the beach.”

Easy access to the beach which was perfect at high tide for swimming and paddle boarding in shallow waters. We hope to return to explore more of North wales.

- Carolynn, July 2022

We would be delighted to welcome you back and glad enjoyed our family holiday home Property Owner
Robert June 2022

Angie March 2022

“Great property with good facilities.”

Fantastic view from upper seating area and hot tub was great. Just across road from access to beach and a short walk into town. Would stay again.

- Angie, March 2022

We would be delighted to welcome you back and glad enjoyed our family holiday home And the hot tub Property Owner
Graham December 2021

“Lovely cottage, pretty clean and tidy in general.”

Hot tub a bonus but could do with a roof / wind shelter and next to the main road. Also, the adjoining property appears to have a shared access which we weren’t aware of. This was a problem as we have a small dog which can nip strangers when frightened. Could do with a decent mop too. All in all though a pleasant experience.

- Graham, December 2021

Thanks for letting us know about the mop, we have replaced it for the next guests arrival. The neighbouring property does have pedestrian access to put their bins out along the rear boundary line, sorry it was an issue for your dog, not been a problem before as very rarely used. Property Owner

The house was great for our needs, comfortable with 6 guests, hot tub was great, fantastic location too, maybe few more toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets would of been perfect but couldn’t fault the place, would definitely recommend and book again Thanks Rob

Karen September 2020

“Good sized cottage, very convenient for Abersoch village and beach across the road!”

Very clean and beds very comfortable! Had an excellent week as weather was good too! Will definitely re-book and recommend

Karen September 2020

“The cottage was a great size and the location perfect.”

The cottage had everything we needed and more will be definitely booking again.

- Karen, September 2020
Martyn September 2020

“Location was fantastic, couldn't ask for better.”

Plenty of parking and great size. Comfortably fit 6 adults and 1 dog. However, I think the cleanliness of the house could be improved. I won't go into too much detail, but we did have to do a bit of cleaning on arrival. Other than that, would recommend and personally we would go there again

- Martyn, September 2020
Tony July 2020

“Apart from from a few days of rain, we were very lucky with the weather and with the beach virtually on our doorstep, the Grandchildren loved spending time there.”

Castell Cottage was perfect for us with all the facilities that we needed plus an added hot tub too! We enjoyed several day trips to some great places including Barmouth & Portmeirion and overall our holiday in Abersoch was just brilliant in every way!

- Tony, July 2020
Heidi December 2019

“The house was so well equipped and the beds were really comfortable.”

The only negative I would say is that the lounge area wasn’t ideal as the tv was in a bad position for more than 2 to watch it. Otherwise we had a fantastic time.

The property

A delightful detached cottage located just a short walk from Abersoch’s sandy beach, ideal for families or groups of friends, with homely, comfortable and well-equipped accommodation for up to eight guests.

Discover the inviting sitting room, complete with ample seating for all the family to settle down and reminisce over the day’s events; the second sitting room offers a quieter spot to break away from others, perhaps indulging in a good book or some television.

Walk on through to the modern kitchen, complete with integrated appliances so the chef amongst the group can easily prepare delicious meals.

Also downstairs is a cloakroom, WC and a boot utility room, handy if your adventure trails off on a muddier route.

Moving upstairs you’ll find the four well-appointed bedrooms, consisting of two doubles, both with an en-suite shower room, one with pleasant views towards the beach and two twins, all served by a delightful family bathroom.

Outside and to the front is a patio area with seating for eight, a sunny spot to enjoy a refreshing drink or perhaps some alfresco dining and a luxurious hot tub at side of the property for you to unwind in.

There's also a decking area with a rattan seating area to the side of the property and a seating area on the bank at the rear of the property with fantastic views of the harbour beach and bay with views towards Snowdonia on sunny days. With Abersoch’s golden beach just a few minutes’ walk away, Castell is perfect for those who want to make the most of the stunning coastline.

Spend your days paddling in the water, sunbathing on the beach or traversing the wonderful cliff-top walks and hidden coves.

Explore the Llyn Peninsula and enjoy its excellent cycling routes and renowned link golf courses with Abersoch Golf Club being just a mile away.

Just over six miles away is the town of Pwllheli, which offers shops, pubs, restaurants, a marina and two beaches.

Also within easy reach is Cricceith, a lovely town with a castle and beach, and beyond that the famous Portmeirion village.

If you fancy a more challenging adventure, then the incredible Snowdonia National Park is 40 minutes away, home to some of the tallest peaks in Britain.

A delightful accommodation in a wonderful seaside location.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

The attractive harbour village of Abersoch is situated on the Llyn Peninsula in a region of Wales renowned for its outstanding scenery and varied walking. The village, situated between two glorious bays, is one of the most popular sailing venues in North Wales and important sailing regattas are held there throughout the summer months. Numerous shops cater for the tourist as well as pubs, restaurants and cafes. There are also opportunities for golfers as there is a course just outside the village and horse riding facilities are also available nearby. Watersports enthusiasts are also well catered for, particularly windsurfing, water skiing and dinghy sailing, not to mention renowned surfing at Port Neigwl (Hell’s Mouth). The long, sandy Abersoch Main Beach is probably the most popular beach in the area. There is a wonderful selection of beaches in the surrounding area of the Llyn Peninsula, including the beautiful and often quiet Porth Ceriad, with it's high cliffs, and sandy Porth Oer ("Whistling Sands").
