“We have been holidaying in Abersoch for almost 20 years and the Anchorage is one of the nicest places that we’ve stayed in.”

The views were fantastic and the facilities were great. My only concern was the spiral staircase down to the garden. It wasn’t the easiest to use and our dog wouldn’t use it. We had to let her into the garden via the utility room downstairs.

“Lovely house.”

Meet all our needs. Few points: back bedroom was damp and mattress needs replacing. Decking needs replacing as was rotting in places. Think this may contribute to the damp smell in the room underneath. These were the only things wrong. The whole places was beautiful and stunning views.Great week.

- Elizabeth

Hi Libby, I am glad you thought the house was lovely, that it met all your needs and you enjoyed the stunning views as much as we do. We have ordered a new mattress for the back bedroom and we have cleared the drains that was causing the musty smell in the bedroom (but we will be refurbishing this room over the winter). We have also filled several decking boards and plan to replace these over winter. Many thanks Jane Property Owner

“Wow!!!”

What an amazing place to stay. Everything you need to make a perfect base for your holiday. Spacious, warm, comfortable and beautifully decorated, and then there are the views. You could sit for hours staring out of the window at the ever changing picture. The combined sea and mountain views are absolutely stunning. We love that you could walk to the village or beach with all the amenities. I really couldn't fault anything and can't wait to come back. Thank you

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Anchorage.”

Super spacious and comfortable living and dining room and amazing views from all windows, equiped with everything you need. Really was a home from home, plus an amazing evening sun trap on the decking. Also a stunning view from the master bedroom and spacious bedrooms for the rest of the family with lovely decor and great storage. Everyone was really happy and we have re-booked for next summer. Thank you.

“Our second stay a beautiful wonderful stay.”

So good that we have already booked again for next year. This is a home away from home, thank you so much. One thing that would help with the weather that we've just had would be a tumble dryer. But regardless lovely.

- Kakad
Pat

“Anchorage is a fantastic property, with everything we needed for our week's stay.”

It was spotlessly clean and really comfortable, with spectacular views from both the front and back of the house. The only downside was that we hadn't realised how far it was into the town and the beach, not really walkable as the hill is quite steep. That said, though, it would not put us off booking Anchorage again, thoroughly recommended.

- Pat

Thank you Pat for your feedback. I am glad you had a good stay at The Anchorage and enjoyed the views. It is 0.6 miles from the house to the centre of the village and the Harbour beach but I am glad the walk won't deter you from staying again. Property Owner

Mr Booth

“Thanks for accommodating our last minute stay, we have had a wonderful week.”

Lovely home that is well equipped and in an ideal location to reach the centre but also tucked away in a quiet area. Only feedback, we understand it is out of season but drying wet clothes/towels is difficult with no tumble dryer. We would 100% return and we have had a lovely first time in Abersoch.

The Vaynol is gret for pool table/drinks football, would highly recommend Potted Lobster for a family meal £10 lunch meal is great value, Fresh is also lovely, dog friendly and good food.

“Another lovely break, family joined us for a few days and did some paddle boarding and sea swimming.”

Helen

“Hello. Lovely property and great views.”

Lots of kitchen facilities and equipment. We had a wonderful week. Great to have an En suite! Shower room and bathroom. This is a great property. Garden good with nice outside seating and storage. Parking good Friends who were with me felt it was very cold on arrival .. this was early May and nights were cold to start. They were sleeping downstairs and there were instructions not to put the storage heaters on. Towels and washing was hard to dry. No towel rails in bathroom. Surprised to have to pay for bedding and bring own towels.

- Helen

Thank you for your nice comments about The Anchorage, glad you thought it was a great property. Regarding the heating, the instructions suggest using storage heaters in the winter months as in warmer months, the house can be too warm during the day; this is why there are electric panel heaters in all the bedrooms. Bedding is now included in the price. Property Owner

The property

The Anchorage, a charming mid-terrace holiday property in Abersoch, North Wales, is located in a quiet cul-de-sac.

At The Anchorage, you'll find magnificent sea views, off-street parking for three cars, and a big, private garden that's perfect for families or groups of eight looking to explore the Llyn Peninsula.

After a day at the beach, head upstairs to the open-plan living area, where you'll find everything you need for a self-catering vacation is just a short distance away.

For the designated chef, the kitchen is finished to a high quality and features shaker-style fixtures and marble-style countertops.

Dinner can be served in the dining room or on the balcony, where you can take in the beautiful views of the back garden.

After a long day, relax in the sitting room with a movie night, where you may watch one of the many Freeview channels or bring your favorite DVD to watch in front of the electric fireplace.

When the sun goes down, make your way to the first floor, where you'll discover a lovely double room with a view of the Eryri (Snowdonia) Mountains and the Cambrian Mountains.

There are three more well-presented bedrooms in the lower level, one of which has a bunk bed ideal for kids or extra visitors and comes equipped with a Smart TV and DVD Player.

Two of the bedrooms are stylish doubles.

Also on the ground floor is the family bathroom, complete with a bath for a well-earned rest after a day of hiking or biking, and a wet room with a large shower for a refreshing rinse.

The utility room on the ground floor includes a washing machine, which is ideal for washing sand- or wetsuit-covered clothing.

In the Garden there is a shed for storing beach gear and a patio and lawned area to relax on while the appointed chef grills up a nice meal, the back yard is perfect for entertaining guests.

Visit the pubs, restaurants, and shops in Abersoch's town center before taking a stroll along the River Soch, paddling or sailing in the harbor at Main Beach, or participating in a putting contest at the nearby golf club.

There are also plenty of other things to do in Abersoch.

Take a short drive from Abersoch to a farm shop that carries local goods and products, then relax on Machroes Beach and have a sweet treat from Mickey's Boatyard Tearooms.

If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of Abersoch, head west to Llanengan, where you can visit the Llanengan Hillfort, where the remnants of a lead mine may be found, eat at The Sun Inn, or take a walk along the Llyn Coastal Path.

In this part of Wales, there is much more to see, from the close towns of Aberdaron and Pwllheli to the quaint villages of Trefor and Criccieth further out.

The Anchorage is the ideal location for a relaxing getaway in the heart of the Llyn Peninsula.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.

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.
