“We absolutely loved our stay at Ynata Cottage.”

It was comfortable and cosy with everything you needed at hand, comfy beds too. Such a great base to explore Northern Wales. The circular walk from the cottage across the cliff tops with amazing views over the bay was beautiful. Grabbing a lovely coffee at the little shipping container cafe at the beach to finish was a great way to start our mornings with our two dogs.

“This cottage is an absolute gem, in a lovely village created for quarrymen and fishermen in the 1800s.”

The cottage is very comfortable and very well presented. The decor is beautiful with quality furniture, kitchen equipment, TV etc. I can't fault anything about it and didn't want to leave. The front garden was ideal for our little dog. The bottle of wine was a very nice welcoming touch. There is everything you could need, including all doggy necessities including treats and a ball. Katherine was very attentive at the other end of the phone for anything we needed help with. Cant wait to go back.

Beverley July 2024

“Ynata is a beautifully presented cottage where the owner had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and cosy.”

The decor curated by someone with a great eye for detail from cosy bedding and towels to the wonderful and some quirky artwork on the walls. The cottage is set in the tiny unchanged village of Trefor on the Llyn peninsula surrounded by lovely walks along the coastal path and two lovely beaches on its doorstep. Nefin and Morfa Nefin are a short drive away as is Pwllheli and Criccieth. A lovely relaxing break was had by all including our beautiful Golden Retriever. Thank you

“Absolutely fantastic cottage.”

Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Great location for exploring and a short distance from the beach. We had a lovely break here and would love to stay again.

Jennifer June 2024

“A fantastic, comfortable and well equipped cottage, close to some wonderful walks with amazing views.”

The cottage was exceptionally clean and tastefully decorated and furnished. We will definitely be using Y Nata again in the future.

“A very comfortable and well appointed cottage.”

Lovely walks from the front door to the harbour and small quiet beach. Good for our nervous dog! Pwllheli, Nefyn, Abersoch and Aberdaron all have lovely quiet (part dog friendly) beaches. The seating area adjoining the kitchen was a lovely place for us to have breakfast and dinner. The bedroom was very comfortable with lots of storage. The bathroom was well equipped with a good shower. In all we had a lovely relaxing stay.

“Ynata was a delightful place to stay, with many welcoming, thoughtful and practical touches that really elevated the experience above the “norm” and made for a lovely week.”

The highest quality of equipment & materials coupled with clever design throughout meant that despite highly active children and two large dogs, self catering was still a pleasurable and relaxing experience for all concerned. Everything required was there (and more) and somehow in a place you’d expect it to be. Coupled with a proactive and very helpful owner, we would highly recommend Ynata as a place for anyone looking to explore the Llyn Peninsula.

“Beautiful well equipped cottage with good quality furnishings and accessories in a perfect location.”

A newly renovated cottage in the centre of Trefor with just a short walk to the beach. We spent a week here and was extremely relaxed and rested in the comfortable cottage. Our dog also had a fantastic time too. The cottage is fully equipped to self cater with a lovely dining area in the kitchen. We even had the log burner on in May on one gloomy evening which were the best instructions we have had to use. We stay in North Wales at least three times per year and this has been the best cottage to date. Excellent communication also from the owner and can't wait to return.

“Lovely cottage.”

Well worth a visit. Parking can be an issue. I recommend use the car park. But can be full.

Charm January 2024

“We had a lovely stay.”

The cottage is perfect! It has everything you need. Only a short walk to a small beach and lovely costal walks. It’s a good location for visiting the surrounding area which we travelled around to see the beautiful scenery. We’d definitely recommend this cottage and Katherine was very helpful

Tracy October 2023

“Fabulous cottage - one of the best I've stayed in.”

Very well equipped, with absolutely everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Great location too for exploring the Llyn Peninsula plus Anglesey and Snowdonia. I will definitely be returning (and recommending to family and friends).

Carrie Anne September 2023

“I loved my stay at Ynata, in Trefor Wales with my two children.”

The cottage was idyllic, with a handy little grocery store and pub nearby. It was lovely to get away from the hussle and bussle of our daily lives to this peaceful little town. My favourite part was chilling in the lovely cottage with my kids, which has a very modern intake with a twist of its original features. Anyone would be happy to spend a break in this lovely cottage/town. Well done to the owners X

Debbie September 2023

“It is a beautiful, characterful little cottage.”

The beds are very comfortable, which is a big plus for people with bad backs. There was everything there we needed and more besides. We have had a wonderful time. Thanks very much

Katherine August 2023

“We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful cottage.”

The owners have literally thought of everything. It’s small but super luxurious and beautifully finished. We used the cottage as a base for exploring the local area with our 2 young children, it was a really great week. Would love to stay again in the future.

- Katherine, August 2023
Caroline August 2023

“Lovely cottage with some delightful additions.”

Thank you! We loved taking our labradors for walks along the beach from the cottage and couldn’t help popping into Bert’s Kitchen on the way back for something to eat and drink.

- Caroline, August 2023
Margaret July 2023

“Lovely property, tastefully furnished and finished, yet comfortable and welcoming.”

The kitchen has that wow factor and contains everything you would need. Great Wi-Fi & Sky streaming tv, plenty of information and instructions in the guest folder with the owner contactable.

- Margaret, July 2023
Lorna July 2023

“Absolutely perfect!”

The house was beautifully presented; it was like staying in a boutique hotel. The owners had thought of every tiny detail. It was the best home we’ve stayed in and we can’t wait to return!

- Lorna, July 2023
Richard July 2023

“The cottage is done to a really high standard with some lovely welcoming touches.”

It's in a small traditional village with easy access to all surrounding areas, the roads are great. The owner is in constant contact should you have any questions. We loved everything about it, would definitely recommend.

Lynne June 2023

“We had a wonderful holiday.”

You can walk for miles straight from the cottage. The cottage is extremely clean. The kitchen is well equipped. Very pleasant and friendly neighbours. Good local shop. Excellent communication with the owners. Would definitely recommend and stay again

- Lynne, June 2023
James June 2023

“Disappointed with description of ‘pub’ which turned out to be a working men’s’ club which only opened at 5pm.”

Also huge amount of noisy traffic passing front door. Otherwise accommodation superb in every way.

Glenda April 2023

“Very attractive cottage.”

So clean and modern with such a welcoming feel. Clever heating system and the log fire meant that we were so cosy. It was like a boutique hotel. Great view of the granite peaks from the breakfast table and a short walk to gorgeously atmospheric beach. The people of the village were very friendly and there was a well stocked shop on the doorstep. Llŷn has won my heart and Ynata in Trefor is the perfect base to explore. Diolch am y bwthyn perffaith.

Stephen March 2023

“We absolutely loved it, the attention to detail of the facilities, level of comfort and just beautiful details were fabulous.”

Thank you for the welcome pack, very much appreciated. The cottage is exactly as described, slightly quirky at the back but with wonderful views. Quiet village but a fabulous base to explore the area. Great dog walks from the house, morning dog swims in the small bay are being missed by our 2. We'll definitely be back.

- Stephen, March 2023
Penny March 2023

The property

Located in the quaint village of Trefor, Gwynedd, is Ynata, a delightful, two-bedroom, former fisherman's cottage.

Set within a prime position, near both amenities and the beach, Ynata is a wonderful base for a seascape, inviting four guests and two furry companions.

Park up on the roadside or in the nearby public car park, or hop off the bus, which directly travels into Caernarfon, before travelling through the front garden, and into the entrance of the home; from here, admire the breath-taking mountain views within the area.

Be welcomed by the homely sitting room, featuring a characterful Inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, plush seating, and a Smart TV for entertainment.

Continue through to the kitchen/diner, both sleek and well-equipped to ease your self-catered stay, home to an electric oven, induction hob, washing machine, and dishwasher.

After dining as a group and enjoying a film night in with a glass of wine, head upstairs to locate two well-appointed bedrooms, including a double and a twin (zip/link).

Both are serviced by a sleek shower room, where you can prepare for your day ahead.

On your doorstep you'll find a convenience store, a post office, Tafarn Y Tŵr pub, and the beach, along with many hiking routes, including Garn Fôr, possible to follow to reach Traeth Nefyn and the popular Clwb Golff Nefyn Golf Club.

Pwllheli Marina is also a popular area for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a plethora of opportunities to take to the water to try your hand at wakeboarding, jet skiing or windsurfing.

Criccieth is also home to a sweeping beach, where you can gather for a coastal walk, a delicious bag of fish and chips, and to sample to famous Cadwaladers ice cream.

Rerouting north, head for Portmeirion, an Italian-style village, brimming with boutique shops and eateries, historical landmarks, and beautiful gardens; within the area you'll also locate Traeth Glaslyn North Wales Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, perfect for nature-filled walks and bird watching, closely set near the Snowdonia National Park in the Llŷn Peninsula (AONB).

A host of beauty spots are across the national park, offering the chance to summit Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and explore Beddgelert Forest, or explore The Slate Caverns of Llechwedd and its bounce below attraction, whilst Abersoch, Caernarfon and Bangor are reachable by car, popular areas for tourism.

Book your next North Wales escape at Ynata.

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