“We have just returned from the most relaxing week at Rhos Y Foel cottage.”

Picked for its secluded location, in the hope to avoid fireworks with our dog, it didn’t disappoint. There was nothing about our stay at the cottage that was negative. A great base to go and discover the many local beaches but also comfortable for those days when the weather is not the best. The hot tub was a great touch. Overall a fabulous stay and we will definitely be booking to return in the future.

Karen September 2024

“We have recently returned from a lovely week at Rhos Y Foel cottage.”

The cottage is very homely and the owners have provided everything you need for a comfortable stay. The dog friendly secure garden was brilliant for our pup, she thoroughly enjoyed herself. The views of the mountains are beautiful and it was lovely watching the owners 2 horses in the field. The hot tub was great and brilliant for stargazing at night. We would highly recommend the property and wouldn't hesitate returning if we come back to the area. Thanks for the lovely hamper of prosecco, biscuits and chocolates.

“A beautiful cottage in a beautiful part of the country.”

Anna July 2024

“We had the loveliest stay.”

The cottage is perfectly located if you are wanting to travel around the peninsula. The hosts were extremely accommodating and understanding. The house was spotless and lots of little touches. We would definitely visit again. Massive thank you from our family :)

Ellie July 2024

“Loved our stay at Rhos Y Foel.”

The setting is so peaceful and the cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Our dog loved the secure garden and being able to watch the horses. The location was great within easy drives of lovely beaches and zip world too! Highly recommend, we'd definitely stay again.

“The holiday cottage was so lovely.”

Really well equipped, spotlessly clean and the most beautiful setting. Owners really welcoming and friendly. Couldn’t of asked for more.

Jennifer May 2024

“Lovely friendly welcome as we drove up to the property, with a nice welcome pack of wine and chocolates, tea, coffee and sugar, and an information booklet on the area, and also hot tub info.”

Very clean, fresh and bright so it was nice to actually just stay in the cottage sometimes with the bifold doors open overlooking the view. Great enclosed space on the patio and lawn for the dog to have a sniff around, and he enjoyed watching the two ponies in the adjoining field. Great place to have as a base in the area.

- Jennifer, May 2024

Nicola March 2024

“We enjoyed our stay at Rhos y Foel cottage.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean and there was a very nice welcome basket with chocolates and Prosecco and other goodies. Well equipped kitchen. A doormat would have been useful as we had dogs , so we were in and out often, and the weather was wet. The hot tub was lovely and the view across of the mountains with snow was perfect. Thankyou for a wonderful stay. We would love to return soon and would recommend.

- Nicola, March 2024
Cathy March 2024

“Had a lovely break staying at the cottage.”

The location was beautiful and within short driving distances to all the beautiful beaches nearby. The house was private, well equipped and comfortable. We were able to relax because the garden was fully enclosed for our two dogs which was an important factor for us! The owner was friendly and helpful. Will highly recommend this property to friends- thank you

Can not fault in any way.

Paul November 2023

“Absolute gem of a place and great base to explore the llyn peninsula and more inland .”

Everything has been thought of at the property and all done to a high standard..would love to come back (but looking at the summer prices would probably have to be back in autumn/winter again) ..the mountain views are breathtaking and sooo peaceful.. particularly enjoyed the resident buzzard and owls. Was amazing to look at the starry skies whilst soaking in the hot tub. .It's very hard to find any faults at Rhos y foel but if I had to pick one it'd be the underfloor heating which is pretty rubbish meaning we had to keep the wood burner going quite a lot ( at our cost after the initial supply ran out after first couple of days ) ...but this is more ths acceptable considering how happy we were with the place . Oh and a big thank you for the welcome pack ,it was very much appreciated..

“Absolutely stunning cottage, everything you need in there and very spacious.”

Hot tub and log burner was lovely and cosy for our October half term break. Enclosed garden for our dog. Would highly recommend and we are already wanting to return next year.

Jess October 2023

“I booked the cottage for my partners 30th birthday, we also took along our two children.”

From the moment we arrived we all fell in love with the place, it is absolutely spotless, the area is so quiet and relaxing! It really is a home from home as you have everything you need there in the kitchen and beds are made up ready for you. There is also horses at the back of the cottage which my children loved. We have already been looking to come again! Thank you so much for making our weekend so special. Jess x

Hannah September 2023

“Our second stay here and we can't fault it.”

It's spacious, spotlessly clean, comfortable and has a totally secure garden for our 2 escape artist dogs! The hot tub is perfect for relaxing in after a day of exploring and there are horses behind the house and views of the mountains. Thank you for another relaxing week, we were sad to leave.

- Hannah, September 2023
Irena June 2023

“Lovely cottage, very big, in a beautiful quiet location.”

Very clean and comfortable. The owners are very friendly. The welcome package was very much appreciated, prosecco, tea, coffee, biscuits crackers, and milk. There are friendly horses in the field at the back, the horse owners live next door, and pass twice a day. Instructions for the hot tub, and the washer dryer would have helped, but we managed. The bifolding doors and windows are quite heavy, not a negative, just want people to be aware. The cottage is remote, nearest shop we found was in Nefyn. That didn't bother us, as that's what we wanted. Great place as a base to explore, or just to have R&R, which is what we wanted. I would highly recommend.

- Irena, June 2023
Neil June 2023

“Excellent place, facilities, locality and hosts.”

Ella May 2023

“Lovely cottage with stunning views!”

We enjoyed our stay. The owners seemed friendly. Easy drive to Pwllheli, Nefyn and surrounding areas. The living room/kitchen was light and spacious, and the garden was secure for the dogs. Cooking utensils were provided, and there was a small under-counter fridge for those wanting to cook at the cottage. The sofas and beds weren’t the comfiest, but they were okay for a few nights. The bathroom was nice, although the extractor fan was temperamental. The wifi was fast and we never had any issues with it. The book provided is helpful, as it includes information about the cottage, local area, takeaways, etc. We were welcomed with a bottle of prosecco, which was a lovely touch - thank you! The hot tub was a great addition, we’re missing it already! Some instructions on how to use it may be useful, as it took us a while fiddling with the buttons to get the jets/lights on. We stayed for 4 nights/5 days and found we had to buy a lot of extras ourselves, such as toilet roll (we were provided with 2 rolls), kitchen towel, salt & pepper, oil, washing machine pods, bin bags (we were only provided with the ones in the bin already, no spares), cling film/tin foil. I would suggest those staying for a longer period to pack these with them. Bring your own towels too, as the ones provided are on the smaller size. The check out in/times aren’t good. You can’t check in until 5pm, and must check out by 9am!! Please bare in mind when booking that you will lose a day either side of your holiday, as on your first day you only get the evening, and the last day you only get a an hour or two in the morning. So, despite us booking Mon-Fri, we only got to enjoy 3 days at the cottage, which we were disappointed with.

- Ella, May 2023

Thanks for the nice review, just to quickly answer the check-in and check-out times, we do this to ensure that we have enough time to address any issues regarding damage in the property before our next guests arrive. We have in the past really struggled with fixing damaged property in time and find the extra few hours does really help us in getting the house ready for the next guest. We do on a regular basis allow early check-in but can't commit to a time till arrival day if we have guests on the same day. If anyone booking does want an early check-in we do ask that they please give us a text a few days before and we will confirm that morning. Thanks Sam Property Owner
Suzanne May 2023

“Absolutely fabulous bank holiday weekend break in this beautiful cottage.”

easy check in/check out process, lovely welcome pack from hosts including a nice bottle of prosecco, friendly and helpful hosts, fabulous self catering facilities, amazing views, comfy beds and all round amazing. If staying here would highly recommend a visit to Y Bryncynan pub 6 minutes drive away with amazing food and views (make sure you book). Can't wait to book this cottage again.

- Suzanne, May 2023
Ann April 2023

“Rhos Y Foel was perfect for us!”

The cottage itself was very comfortable and clean. We felt at home straight away. A lovely peaceful place to relax in. a great place to explore the Llyn Peninsular. The owners are very friendly and helpful. They made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be coming back!

- Ann, April 2023
Sam April 2023

“Fantastic property well kept and maintained and thank you for making us welcome with the welcome pack champagne etc….”

The views are amazing from the bi fold doors onto the patio, into the Welsh hills. The welcome pack was great, tea coffee milk and champagne. Hot tub is great and over looking the views, we had a the privilege of seeing some RAF practice jets flying manoeuvres in the distance.

Beth March 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Rhos y Foel over the weekend.”

We were welcomed with a little starter pack (bread, milk, tea, coffee and champagne). They also kindly let us check in a little earlier which was very convenient. The cottage was spotless, very comfortable sofas and beds. The outdoor area was lovely and private. The hottub was hot when we arrived and was very clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend, and stay again. Thank you

- Beth, March 2023
Sian March 2023

“Lovely property with stunning views towards Snowdonia.”

Secure garden for the dog. Very accessible for people with mobility issues - however shower floor in wet room can get very slippy. A hand rail would be useful. Wish we could have stayed the full duration - unfortunately our dog got very sick and we had to return home early :(

- Sian, March 2023
Michelle February 2023

“Had a lovely 5 nights stay and the cottage was perfect.”

Used the hot tub every night after a full day exploring somewhere different each day. We would definitely love to return again. Thanks Michelle, Amanda and Jess.

Hi, thanks for your review, we are glad you liked the cottage and the location. Sorry the internet wasn't working all the time you were with us, we are still on 4G WIFI at the moment, but they have now ran the fibre across the field too our post. We have now replaced some of the kitchen equipment and are improving the sofas when we are closed in January to have the cottage re painted on the inside. If any future guests can't find anything we would ask them to please drop us a text when staying. Property Owner

“The property bigger than expected, and was clean enough but felt a bit unloved.”

It has bags of potential, but there were a few things that would stop us from retuning; The bathroom tiles and grout needed a good scrub on the floor. The kitchen was well stocked for utilities, however the toaster leaver was broke? Furnishings were sparse and in a lot of cases broken or well worn. There were things missing I would have expected to find like a hair dryer, a bath mat, an internet router, bin bags, plus the usual foil, oil, salt, pepper etc we’ve come to expect not to be present due to lockdown. A door mat for the front door and muddy boots, and a door mat at the back for the hot tub would have been useful to stop us treading mud and water in. The front door needs a blind - it’s very exposed to the neighbouring property and parking spaces which impacts privacy. The hot tub was fine, some sand in it but had read previous reviews and expected this. There was some dark black scuffing marks on the tub which didn’t look great but didn’t impact the usage. I was also a bit surprised one morning when sat in the garden in my pjs and someone just walked through the field into the static van next to the property, I had been under the impression that it was a private location. Besides the niggles with the property, the area was mostly quiet and Nefyn itself was a beautiful place. There are great views from the cottage and a lovely walk via route 41 to Morfa Nefyn over the tops.

- Sarah, September 2022

Thanks for your review, we do every now and again have to go into the fields to work on them or to access the fields further back to check on them. Sorry the toaster was broken on your visit, in future if anyone has a problem we would ask them to contact us during their stay so we can resolve the issues as quickly as possible. Property Owner
Natalie August 2022

“House was lovely and in a beautiful location.”

We had to sweep the walls to clear the cobwebs and there was sand in the bottom of the hot tub. We were surprised to find not many essentials left for example one toilet roll and no tea or coffee. Would have been nice to have some more crockery and have the correct password for the Wi-Fi. The shower was fantastic and views were gorgeous.

- Natalie, August 2022
Caroline July 2022

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

All fabulous facilities and only minor comments to improve e.g footmat in the bathroom, tea tray. As we had small dogs they couldn’t be fully contained in the garden. Location had amazing views of the Snowdonia mountain range, very peaceful location. Definitely want to stay again.

- Caroline, July 2022
Rick July 2022

“One of the nicest holiday cottages we have ever stayed in; wood burning stove, hot tub with great views of Snowdonia and so much bigger than the photos suggest.”

Our only niggle is the check-in/check-out times and wonder why Sykes don't return to the pre-pandemic times as other agents have.

- Rick, July 2022

“9 am is too early on day of departure to tidy up cook breakfast etc 10-30 would work better .”

“We really enjoyed our stay here.”

The property is lovely & the location is brilliant to visit local towns. The owners were very friendly & helpful which made our stay even better . Would reccomend this property if your looking for a relaxing break with the hot tub being a added bonus .

Irem December 2021

“Appreciated the owner being on hand and apologetic about the heating not working, took a few hours for the place to heat up.”

Surprised at the lack of basic amenities in the kitchen that we have normally had in self catering stays ie no foil, oil, salt, pepper, coffee, tea towels, casserole dishes, scourer and dishcloths these are normally all provided, thankfully spar was open on Christmas day. Hot tub was dirty with sediment in the bottom and wasn't warm enough to use on the first evening. Sofa was worse for wear and lacked support to sit on, flat cushions. Fire was nice. Lacked the homely feeling due to these things otherwise nice place.

- Irem, December 2021

Can not fault the place or Sykes. Definitely recommend.

Sue October 2021

“Property is gorgeous and we've already booked for next year.”

Very clean; warm and welcoming with lovely views. Great hot tub. Would have been helpful to know that kitchen basics like dishwasher tablets; bin liners and cleaning cloths are not provided. Happy to be corrected if we missed this in the booking information.

- Sue, October 2021
Harriet October 2021

“Cottage was brilliant - had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.”

We came for a 30th birthday and all guests were very happy! Only thing which could be improved is the bathroom window - let’s in a massive draft to the point I kept thinking it was open. Other than that we had an amazing stay. Perfect area, 12 minute drive to some amazing walks on the Llyn Peninsula and a lovely warm hot tub and fire to return home to. Will definitely stay again. Many thanks!

Jemma September 2021

“The only issue was that we couldn't open the window in the main bedroom, it seemed to be stuck so the room was quite warm at night.”

Other than that a fantastic place to stay, great location, will definitely be returning.

- Jemma, September 2021
Jennifer September 2021

“Repeat visit to this lovely cottage in a great location, peaceful & quiet, very dog friendly.”

Owners are friendly & welcoming. We would love to go again next year but the price rise for the same period is far too much for us, pity.

- Jennifer, September 2021
Roger July 2021

“The location and view from the Cottage is spectacular.”

The managers were very friendly and approachable and responded immediately to every request, including sharing rhubarb and strawberries from their garden! The facilities and hot tub are first class. 2 minor items to note: 1) the wording in the description said: Two bedrooms: 2 x king-size, which we took to mean there are 2 bedrooms with a king sized bed in each. What there are is one bedroom with a king sized bed, and the 2nd bedroom has 2 individual single beds (see the photos). 2) the wifi worked about half the time. All told, though, it is a wonderful place, very quiet, with great views. Ask Sam, he'll tell you which mountain is Mt. Snowdon!

Lauren April 2021

“We enjoyed our stay at the cottage which was presented extremely clean.”

Location wise, this was perfect and we visited many local beaches, walks, towns, Gypsy Wood, scenic railway and a children's farm. We enjoyed the hot tub and found the kitchen facilities all in good working order. Some of the things we would of benefited from and which I feel would be useful for future guests; A corkscrew, coasters / maybe a couple of small side tables, a clock in the living area. We also noted that one of the single mattresses requires changing. We also missed a dining table as the bar stools were difficult with a toddler. The cottage does only have a shower rather than a bath so worth bearing in mind if travelling with young children and also I'd recommend taking some black out temp covers for the windows as my children were up particularly early when the sun rose. I don't want this review to sound negative as we really enjoyed the house and its location and would be happy to stay again as we'd know what to bring with us to make it work better for us a family.

- Lauren, April 2021
Thomas April 2021

“Superb accommodation,All facilities were top notch.”

.in particular the underfloor heating,Shower Room and of course the Hot Tub which is a massive bonus whatever the weather.lots of room. Lovely patio with great views across farmland to the hills.Ideal quiet rural location with easy access to coast ..

Wendy Elizabeth April 2021

“As an older couple we found the chairs & sofa quite uncomfortable.”

They were very low and soft. Also eating at the breakfast bar wasn’t ideal.

- Wendy Elizabeth, April 2021
Lucy March 2021

“A fantastic cottage.”

Toasty warm when needed and easy to keep cool. Hottub was a hit with my 10 and 12 year olds and we especially enjoyed stargazing in it. Plenty of natural places to visit locally. A restful break.

- Lucy, March 2021
Rhiannon October 2020

“We had a lovely stay at Rhos Y Foel.”

The cottage was clean and tidy, with everything we needed for a weeks stay. The lounge area was comfortable and we made full use of the hot tub, even on the few rainy days we had. The kitchen was well equipped with a dishwasher, large oven, fridge with a small freezer, and a washer/dryer. The drawers had plenty of crockery, pans, trays and utensils. The bedrooms and bathroom were clean and comfortable, although the mattress on the king size bed could do with replacing or flipping. We both had sore backs by the end of the week, and on stripping the bed as per Covid instructions, noticed that there was no support where the mattress had dipped. The cottage was warm and cosy with the underfloor heating. The local garage and shop in Four Crosses (Y Ffor) sells kindling and logs for the wood burner if other residents want to light the wood burner. The garden was secure for our large husky/malamute cross, with an interlinking paddock with the cottage next door giving more secure space (the other cottage was unoccupied). You can enjoy walks along the roads around the site with lovely views of the coast and local woodland. The garden is private and over looks fields and the hills of the Llyn. The owners were around and made us feel welcome, but were not intrusive. We used to live in the area, and have family still living there, so it was an ideal base to safely visit those we could. We enjoyed the beaches and walks around the Llyn Peninsular, including the estuary in Criccieth and the beaches at Morfa Nefyn and Porthdinllaen. Located centrally, we were close to Pwllheli where there are plenty of shops and local independent retailers in the surrounding areas. There are also plenty of retailers in Criccieth, Porthmadog and further afield to Caernarfon and Bangor. Overall, we had a relaxing week in the cottage and would highly recommend the cottage for a peaceful stay.

- Rhiannon, October 2020
Hannah September 2020

“We stayed here for 4 nights in September, had such a lovely time.”

The cottage is beautiful with nice views over the countryside. We loved watching the horses from the hot tub! All rooms very spacious, nice and warm due to underfloor heating. Kitchen well equipped with lots of pots and pans, even a lunchbox (we found handy for our walk up Snowdon as we’d forgotten ours). The cottage is in a good location to visit Snowdonia, and Nefyn is only a small drive away. From what we could see there weren’t any pubs in walking distance but could be wrong. The only things we could have done with that we didn’t have; - A doormat to wipe your shoes on when you come in - A welcome pack with details of local pubs, takeaways, taxis ect as WiFi not great. Would love to stay here again!

- Hannah, September 2020
Charlotte September 2020

“We had a wonderful holiday at Rhos-y-Foel.”

The cottage was beautiful, very modern, warm and comfortable. We met the owner Sam and his wife Georgie who were really friendly and loved having a chat with us but also left us to enjoy our holiday. The beds were very comfy and the underfloor heating was so nice! We loved sitting in the hot tub and watching the night sky in the evening, we saw so many shooting stars. The cottage is about 3 miles from Nefyn and 3 miles from Pwllheli, so it's in close proximity to shops, beaches, bars, etc. The cottage allows pets and we bought my sister's golden retriever Billy, with us, who loved running around the garden, he even made friends with Sam and Georgie's horse, Del, through the fence. We had such a great time, we were sad to leave but hopefully will be back soon!

- Charlotte, September 2020
Kay August 2020

“A lovely cottage and base for exploring in a beautiful setting.”

Loved the hot tub which was used every day! Needs a comfier couch and one of the mattresses in the twin room needs replacing. Other than that very well maintained. Great layout in the kitchen and lounge and a well equipped kitchen. Owners very attentive and it was helpful having them on site . We would definitely recommend and return

Erica August 2020

“A lovely family holiday in a superb cottage.”

Clean, comfortable and modern. Did not really book it for the hot tub, but given the weather conditions it was an asset and used everyday. I can imagine that in winter with the hot tub, fire and underfloor heating this cottage will be provide an amazing break. Oh, the walk in shower is the best we have experienced in many years travelling to North Wales. Plenty of hot water and excellent water pressure. WiFi is slow but be patient, it works. Close to beaches, Snowdonia mountains and not too far from Coed Y Brenin for excellent mountain bike trails. Erica and Bryan Craig

The cottage was lovely. The owners were welcoming and friendly. The views were spectacular. We will definitely be back.

Richard July 2020

“A lovely cottage that is very quiet.”

Close to lots of great beaches/Portmeirion/Snowdon and a nice pub around 3 miles away. Very spacious and hot tub was great to relax in. A guest book would make it easier so we knew how to use heating/hot tub/expectations for the fire etc. Or if a guest book isn’t allowed in Covid times, then an email version (photos etc?) A sweeping brush to clean would help too. The host was very friendly and welcoming. Thanks for a lovely stay. Would highly recommend

Hi , I thought the holiday was fantastic but one of the single beds could do with a new mattress as I think it's a bit worn ( could feel the springs) and maybe a little draw pack in the twin room , we moved one across from the double , apart from that , it was a lovely place to stay , all real helpfull and friendly, will recommend the area to everyone for a quiet and relaxing time Thankyou

Darren February 2020

“The cottage is fitted to a really nice standard.”

The underfloor heating was luxurious and the log burner was cosy. Well located for exploring. Garden is enclosed but small and great for letting dogs out safely. Didn't have any contact with owners. Would have been nice to say hello and have a brief welcome although an information sheet and jams were really useful and a nice touch. We left early for two reasons: one cannot be helped but may be something other holidayers should keep in mind when considering this cottage... - We stayed in February and the weather was generally fine in the day but overnight the winds were really strong and woke us up from the early hours. As such, we didn't feel very rested! The cottage is remote and open to the elements. Would love to stay again but only in summer. - The property is advertised as having wifi. The owners appear to have tried to sort this with a wifi booster, however it doesn't work. We booked due to the wifi as we had work commitments that relied on it. As it was not available, this was an issue and 4g is temperamental. Fine if you are not bothered about this but if it is a necessity for accompanying teenagers or people who may have to work remotely, it is an issue.

- Darren, February 2020

Thank you for your feedback. Regrettably, the weekend you were at our property we were on an amber weather warning, normally our customers feel very refreshed and rested after being in our property. Property Owner

“What a fantastic little cottage in a lovely location.”

Its warm and cosy and catered for everything we needed during our 2 night stay... The owner provided 2 real xmas trees which was a nice touch (saved us from having to put up a fake one). The hot tub was amazing it was nice for it to be so cold out but so warm in there... would reccomend to anyone and would definitely go back! Thank you :)

“Upon arrival we were surprised to find that there were no logs in the log basket despite this being mentioned as one of the benefits we would receive.”

There was a half empty bag of kindling, in the end we bought are own logs for a couple of small fires during our stay. We also felt that a booklet containing advice on local sites and restaurants, important phone nos etc, should have been available. Also were unable to figure out how to use the hot tub without a manual.

“Excellent accommodation in a stunning area.”

Certainly dog friendly and appreciated our 2 Greyhounds being allowed to stretch their legs in an adjacent secure field. Owners very friendly and watching the stars from the hot tub was wonderful. Only criticism is that the photographs don't do the property justice. Already booked for same time next year and maybe earlier in the year as well, work holidays permitting.

“We booked this holiday cottage for a well earned couple of days away, and it didn’t disappoint.”

The location of the cottage was lovely, as were the views of the mountains to the back of the cottage. The decor and finish was to a high standard and the private hot tub was an added bonus which we made the most of!! Dog friendly and not too far away from local beaches and towns for exploring. The bed was comfortable and the shower room very nice. My Husband and I felt very comfortable and relaxed during our time at Rhos Y Foel and wouldn’t hesitate to return! Some aspects for improvement we felt would add to the experience of the cottage are:- Blackout curtains in the master bedroom is an absolute must - in the winter months it perhaps wouldn’t be an issue but whilst we stayed, as soon as the sun started to rise before 5am(!!) the bedroom was extremely light! It made it difficult to ‘lie in’ and feel this is something that could easily be adjusted. The cottage would also benefit from a few more items of kitchenware such as a microwave, tin opener, baking trays and saucepans. It would be useful also to have a toiletries tray in the shower, and some bigger towels as these were on the small side! We understand that in the area the phone signal isn’t great and this was reflected in the WiFi which although was just useable, we ended up using our 4G if needed. Lastly, the check-in & check-out times could be more lenient - as we only stayed for 2 nights, the check in time of after 3pm meant we had less than half a day on arrival, plus only 1 more full day, as checkout was at 10am the following morning. Perhaps allowing slightly earlier check in and slightly later checkout would make it feel less of a rush especially when only spending a couple of nights there. Overall, these are things that could be changed very easily, but we throughly enjoyed our time at the cottage.

“This holiday cottage was lovely to stay in and we would stay here again.”

We loved the location; beaches and mountains all within easy reach. The hot tub was great and our whole family enjoyed using it. One added bonus is that the location means we got to see the milky way - the stars were amazing! We have a few suggestions to improve the cottage even further. The wi-fi did not work, we contacted the owners who informed us it was really slow and there was an extender in the house but it didn’t work and the issue was not resolved. We just used our own mobile data for the week, the mobile signal is ok. The kitchen needs more plates and some essential kitchen items such as baking trays, dishes etc. Consider blackout curtains in the main bedroom. Finally there is a washing machine but no way of drying your clothes - an inexpensive clothes horse could fix this. These things wouldn’t stop us staying again, infact our girls are asking when we are going again!

“This cottage is in a beautiful setting, and when I realised it was part of a camp site I was worried as I was looking for isolation.”

However, there were hardly any noise and the back of the property was very private saw anyone round the back twice. The views from the back were really open and stunning. Loved having the fold back doors that were opened fully to bring the outside in. The owners were really friendly and very helpful but left you to it.

“Beautiful cottage in a lovely quiet picturesque part of North Wales.”

Spacious and airey with plenty of room and the added bonus of the hot tub and enclosed garden. Only a few miles from beaches at Nefyn and Morfa Nefyn. Local pub and chip shop also not far away. The owners were very welcoming, we had a lovely week and our 2 dogs did too.
