“The holiday was good and the house large enough for us and in a good location and this is the 3rd year we have stayed.”

However the house was not very clean with cobwebs and dirty floors and the issues we reported last year with the showers have only partially been sorted and although the upstairs shower does not now leak into the bathroom below there is mould on the walls and the ceiling has still not been repaired. The beds are not great and it would be good to have better blinds (black out). The outside furniture is in a poor state and was covered in bird mess. Generally the house is looking tired and it ...

However the house was not very clean with cobwebs and dirty floors and the issues we reported last year with the showers have only partially been sorted and although the upstairs shower does not now leak into the bathroom below there is mould on the walls and the ceiling has still not been repaired. The beds are not great and it would be good to have better blinds (black out). The outside furniture is in a poor state and was covered in bird mess. Generally the house is looking tired and it doesn't look like there has been any maintenance or improvements over the last couple of years that we have stayed which is a shame as the size/layout and location are good.

“Fantastic space and location.”

Love the place. However TLC desperately required…. Shower upstairs clearly leaked at one point, the floor and ceiling below require attention. Electricity needed putting back on several times (one of the hob rings plus oven seemed to trip it) Oven took a long time to heat up. Mould in bathrooms - particularly upstairs one. Otherwise fabulous - washer is great to have as is dishwasher. Would love to come back - but TLC needs to be done.

“With regard to accuracy of the listing when I booked the property it was listed as 1 king size double, two twins and two singles.”

However the singles turned out to be 2 x bunk beds. Indeed one of The online photos gives the impression that there was a single bed in one of the single rooms. Bunk beds are not always suitable for older teens. Had I known this, I wouldn’t have chosen this property. Your website needs to be corrected. It was however good to have matching quality tableware and ample glassware and comfortable beds. Although pegs for hanging washing were supplied there was no evidence of a washing line or clothes maiden. We tried to follow recycling instructions but there was no kitchen caddy for food waste. On arrival my daughter also had to vacuum the bedrooms to remove spiders webs. The age range of my group was mid teens to an octogenarian so it was attractive to have a room each for those that didn’t want to share. All in all a little disappointed.

“This is the second year we have stayed as we like the location and size of property.”

We did have some issues which we have reported as the upstairs shower leaked into the downstairs bathroom and it was clear that the leak had been ongoing for a while due to the staining on the ceiling. Both showers were erratic with temperature control and are not properly fixed to the wall. Also the kitchen hob trips out the electrics sometimes. Great holiday location but house in need of some maintenance.

“The property was lovely, upside down arrangement suited us and we had beautiful views from all the windows.”

Our only criticism is that the showers had poor performance. The crockery and glassware were good quality, unfortunately we felt the kitchen cooking utensils were not adequate for a party of 10 people. We appreciate that some clients will eat out or have takeaway meals, we as a family prefer home cooking and the pans were not big enough to make even a basic spaghetti bolognaise for us all, there were no dishes large enough to facilitate our needs. Perhaps clients should be made aware of this and are able to take items with them. We had a wonderful holiday and the nearness to the beaches and coastal paths were excellent many thanks

The property

Abersoch 1.6 miles away.

This charming, detached holiday property sits within the hamlet of Bwlchtocyn, near Abersoch.

Deu Draeth is a fantastic base for a self-catering holiday, surrounded by farmland and offering sea views across Hells Mouth and Bardsey Island, as well as affording a family of eight housing that has been renovated to a high standard.

After parking outside, make your way upstairs to be greeted by gorgeous, nautical furnishings, with thoughtful details such as pillows featuring marine artwork and a boat-turned-bookcase; the room also hosts TV with Sky (including Sky Kids for the little ones) and a Smart speaker.

After spending time with your loved ones in the living/dining area and admiring the sea views, step into the kitchen to find a sleek space equipped with everything you need to prepare a delicious supper, including a wine chiller to keep your favourite bottles cold.

Gather your loved ones around the dining table and raise a glass to this coastal getaway before indulging in a scrumptious supper.

As the day draws to a close, descend the stairs to the ground floor where you will find five bedrooms, including a bright king-size room with plenty of storage, two lovely twins, and two singles; completing the ground floor is a stylish bathroom with a bath where you can treat yourself to a moment of peace and quiet among the bubbles.

For your convenience, a second shower room is located upstairs.

A charming grass to the side of the house accommodates a dining table for four, allowing you to enjoy a spot of alfresco dining or a gripping book amongst your natural surroundings.

Despite its rural setting, Machroes Beach is less than a mile away, providing quick access to the pleasures of the beach and the Welsh Coastal Path; for amenities, travel less than two miles to Abersoch, where a plethora of cafés and stores await.

Abersoch also has two fantastic beaches where the group's water sports lovers will have a blast with the plentiful surfing and sailing chances.

The hamlet also has a fantastic golf club where expert or beginner-level players may partake in its coastal course.

The nearby community of Llanengan also has lots to offer, with the expansive Hells Mouth Beach nearby, the charming Sun Inn tavern providing for a terrific dining area, and the remains of the historic Llanengan Lead Mine ready to be explored.

Head along the coast to the beautiful communities of Llanbedrog and Pwllheli, where there is lots to see and do; or travel further west to the tiny village of Aberdaron, which has access to a variety of breath-taking viewpoints and treks.

Book a stay at Deu Draeth for a fantastic stay in North Wales.

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. 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"). Most of the coastline is owned by the National Trust and there are many remote bays, sandy beaches and cliffs, as well as wildlife havens like Bardsey Island to explore.
