“Michelle was a lovely host, made us feel very welcome and was very patient with my elderly parents.”

The basket of goodies on arrival was such a nice touch. The apartment is beautifully furnished, well maintained and lovely and clean. We can’t wait to come back.

“We like to self-cater for a significant portion of our stays.”

A little more shelf space/storage would be useful. A lovely garden/relaxation area, we were lucky and had warm weather for 4 days. The location is perfect for access to the beach and coastal walks and as a base for driving out to other coastal walks.

- Michael, May 2024

Thank you Michael for your feedback and glad you managed to enjoy the garden for at least some of your stay. We have never been asked for more space as people staying usually rearrange the items on the shelves to put there items on. We are very proud to offer our guests the basics so they don’t have to bring condiment’s especially, together with a small welcome basket. We Look forward to seeing you again and I will add a Trolly for future guests. Kind Regards Michéle Property Owner

“What a beautiful little holiday let in a superb location in a lovely village.”

Situated within a couple of minutes walk of the beach and a pub and a 10 minute walk to the garage, which is also the village shop selling papers, fresh food etc, you couldn't really ask for more. The Ty Coch pub on the beach is only a lovely stroll away accessed along the beach or across the golf course and it is voted one of the best beach bars in the world. The boat store is fully equipped with everything you need for a lovely stay. The garden at the side is a fantastic sun trap and again equipped with comfy furniture. At first booking we were slightly nervous that the property seemed to have the owners residence above and we thought you might be able to hear noise from above. How wrong were we, we never heard a sound. The property is either excellently sound insulated or no-one used the rooms above. I would definitely recommend this let to anyone wanting to stay in Morfa Nefyn. We had a beautiful week. Thanks.

“The Old Boat Store is a lovely holiday property.”

It is exactly as described and by far exceeded our expectations with regard to the kitchen equipment and helpful items such as salt, pepper, vinegar, oils, herbs etc. The property is in a fabulous location just off the beach, which provided many memorable sunset walks and offered easy access to the famous Tŷ Coch pub. Many congratulations to the owners.

Stuart June 2023

“The apartment was perfect for us a small family.”

The location is fantastic with the beach just down the road. The garden is a great little sun trap and the apartment was well stocked with everything we needed for a few days away and very clean. Would highly recommend.

Margaret September 2022

“We had a great week at the Old Boat Store even though the weather wasn't all that brilliant.”

The apartment was very artistically furnished and also had many kitchen items that are not usually provided which was very helpful. It was only a short walk to the beach and when the tide was out it was possible to walk across to Ty Coch Inn, a renowned Welsh pub which also could be reached via the Golf Club route. All in all an excellent summer holiday stay.

“DAMP , HOLIDAY CUT SHORT , WET FlOORS ,NOT HAPPY, OWNERS AWARE.”

I arrived at the old boat store with my partner and three young children, upon arriving the apartment is well presented and clean (freshly painted ) location is good THE BAD POINTS After our first night as the fresh paint smell began to wear off we could smell damp and my childrens pjs under there pillow where damp along witg the master bedroom floor and bottom Of the walls , the floor in my bedroom is soaking wet out clothes that had not been worn had to be washed as they all had a horrible smell , there is a manual dehumidifier tray under the bed that was full so the owners are fully aware that they have a damp issue , I actually have years experience In the buiding trade and this in my opinion is due to poor ventilation and possible the floors not being insulated or removed when the garages was converted and the windows not having vents in ? So unfortunately we had had to book a hotel for the next two nights and cut it short at the boat store , not very good at all especially with very young children who where not sleeping well and who are all full of cold now …………. Would defiantly never go back and please Be aware this is a genuinely honest and straight forward review and no one can expect someone to stay in a damp holiday home there’s no excuses it’s disgusting they need to address the problem which can be resolved with the correct builder and it definitely needs doing asap no good keep painting over the cracks

- Scott, April 2022

The Guest and family arrived very late in the middle of a storm which was not the best start to his holiday. We always go out of our way to make guests, especially with children,welcome. The weather during The guests stay was sadly very cold and wet so with the heating on and no windows open, this would possibly cause condensation. If the guest is a builder I would have expected him to understand that if it’s cold and wet outside and you have electric heating on full blast you need to ventilate by opening windows from time to time. We spoke to The guest on the second day and asked if everything was ok and if extra blankets or anything else was required. I put a tiny dehumidifier under all the beds and in the bathroom as a matter of course and it was not full as claimed. The apartment had not been freshly painted and did not smell of paint. In fact the guest sent me a text saying they were pleased with the apartment, “lovely clean and fresh”. We ourselves lived in the apartment full time for eighteen months and never encountered damp. The next time I heard from The guest was at 11.30pm Tuesday night complaining of damp and telling me about a hotel that he wanted us to contribute towards with a veiled threat at leaving a bad review. I immediately responded saying we would pop in and see him at 10am in the morning to which he agreed. When we arrived he had left the apartment. All homes by the sea have some issues and we do not let out our apartment over the winter months like many other locals. All I will add is that it took my husband and I the two days after The guest left to clean up after the disrespectful way his family left “The Old Boat Store” Property Owner

“A beautiful place to stay, very close to the beach and in a lovely part of the world.”

The apartment had everything (and more) that we needed, really well-equipped and spotlessly clean. Open lounge and kitchen was spacious and there's a lovely outside area. Hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful. It's well-located for exploring the Llyn Peninsula and the coast path. Local shops and pubs within walking distance.

“We have just returned from a lovely week at The Old Boat Store in Morfa Nefyn.”

The accommodation was by far the best we have ever stayed and would definitely visit again. Everything was perfect and I can't fault a thing. It was wonderful being able to just stroll down to the beach from the front door, but also a great base for exploring the whole Llyn Penninsula. Thank you to the owners for the wonderful welcome basket and for making our holiday very memorable.

- Emma, August 2021
Amy May 2021

“We had a fantastic week at The Old Boat Store.”

A warm welcome from the owners included a lovely welcome basket, and the little touches all over the property included little gifts for the children and children's bedding which they loved. Everything was very clean. The property is perfectly located 200m from the beach and a great base for exploring the Llyn Penninsula. We would definitely wholeheartedly recommend.

“Beautiful accommodation, minutes from beach.”

The property

An incredibly attractive holiday home in a first-rate location for a coastal retreat, The Old Boat Store is a truly remarkable base for your family escape to North Wales.

An all-ground-floor apartment within walking distance of Morfa Nefyn's beautiful beach, and boasting a tasteful nautical theme, this delightful abode is one you're sure to want to return to.

Enter into the open-plan living space to discover all the fantastic amenities that the property has to offer; lounge on the plush leather sofa as the warmth of the electric fire fills the room and enjoy the splendid maritime decor, from the room's blue-striped armchairs to the remarkable art work on the walls.

Sit around the dining table together to discuss the day's adventures or plan the next day's activities, whilst the chef of the group makes the most of the marvellous range of appliances and utensils in the kitchen area to prepare a family-favourite feast in no time.

If you're seeking a quiet escape for yourself, take a seat in the reading area and delve into a good book for a couple of hours, or, for time together as a family, the Mediterranean-style garden makes a wonderful spot to enjoy a delicious barbecue as the sounds of the sea remind you of your wonderful location.

At the end of each day, choose from two beautiful bedrooms in which to rest your head, the master 'captain's' room is home to a double bed, with blue hues and stylish decor adding to the maritime theme of the property, whilst the 'crew' room consists of both adult bunks and a single bed, perfect for those travelling with a little one.

The local area of Morfa Nefyn boasts everything you could need for a self-catered stay; while away the hours with an indulgent lunch in one of the village's pubs, or pack up a picnic with some provisions from the local store and make your way down to the beach to spend an afternoon sandcastle building and sea splashing.

Enjoy a game of golf at the local club with it's 26 hole championship layout, tranquil setting and sea views from every tee.

Take a walk along the Llyn Coastal Path and marvel at the beauty of the sea from a different perspective, or amble along the beach to the Ty Coch Inn, voted one of the top ten beach bars in the world, where you can enjoy a coffee or refreshing drink.

For a more challenging ramble, venture into Snowdonia National Park and conquer the peak of Mount Snowdon with views well-worth the climb.

Alternatively, spend your time in the waters off Abersoch where you can find ample watersport opportunities such as surfing, sailing, body boarding and more!

The Italianate village of Portmeirion also makes for a popular day out with its amazing architecture, award-winning restaurants, rustic ice cream parlour and headland walks, or choose to simply spend time relaxing in your superb holiday home.

The Old Boat Store is the perfect place from which to explore the beauty of this idyllic part of Wales.
