“The apartment is well equipped and was comfortable.”

There are a couple of maintenance issues which need dealing with. The view from the terrace area is not impressive - a road and a large pair of wooden doors on the opposite garage. Compared to the cottage we stayed in the following week there seemed to be a slight lack of soul about the holiday which I cannot exactly pinpoint. I would recommend the apartment to future guests but we are unlikely to visit again.

“This is a very spacious very well equipped and well furnished apartment we would certainly recommend.”

It is in a nice area within a very short walk to the beach. Phone signal and wi fi good. The only problem was the shower ran cold if you adjusted the temperature or taps were turned on in the kitchen. If we return to the area we try to secure this apartment again

“Y Gyfrinach is a lovely property It is very clean, very spacious, comfortable, and very relaxing.”

There is a nice seating outside with a very useful dog parking hook. It is only a 5 min walk to the beach and lies in a beautiful area. This was our 2nd time here and can't wait to come again

“September 2024 The place was very clean, nicely decorated and furnished and it was a pleasure to return each evening.”

The place was very well equipped except for the bathroom. The towels were bath towels which only just went round a size 10-12 body. Also the towels did not dry from one day to the next, damp still on second day. I had to buy a cheap bath sheet for comfort and to give given towels a chance to dry. We had the electric fire on each evening to dry the towels and provide some off set for the colder bedrooms. There was condensation on the bedroom windows in the morning. The instructions for the central heating were available but we were unable to get the CH running and it seemed a waste of energy in September. The laundrette at the local garage was the recommendation for drying washed clothes - not at all suitable for everyday damp towels. Next visit I would take a portable dryer and heater.

- Jane, September 2024

As you will recall I spoke to you as you were leaving asking you if you’d enjoyed your stay and wishing you a safe and pleasant journey back to the south coast and you had absolutely no complaints, heating works fine when temperature on the thermostat is raised to the desired level, we will however invest in some larger towels Property Owner

“The Apartment is very clean and beautiful.”

I would like to recommend and would like to go back no doubt. The place we stay is superb. Thank you Mr & Mrs Notton

Judith June 2024

“I did find the use of technology rather challenging.”

It took a while to fathom the tv in the main room and I never did get the tv in the master bedroom to switch on. Also the white zapper to operate the bedside lights was nowhere to be found. Apart from that a very enjoyable stay.

- Judith, June 2024

Thank you for your valuable feedback on reading this in our house book we checked the bedroom tv and found it had been switched off at the plug behind the wardrobe (the previous guest must have been distracted by the stand by light) the bedside lights are now touch control so we will change this in the book and add the tv to the checklist. Kind Regards Steve and Trish Property Owner

“Apartment fully equipped.”

We spent a lot of our time out and about and did not utilise much of the equipment available. Would thoroughly recommend. Superb.

- Stephen, May 2024
Ian May 2024

“A lovely property, very clean when we arrived.”

The property is very spacious and extremely well equipped every thing that is needed for a comfortable stay is supplied. The beds are super comfortable and very large. Only a short walk to a beautiful beach. Lots of nice local walks all within a short drive.

- Ian, May 2024
Anna April 2024

“Really comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean- Had absolutely everything we needed for a really homely stay.”

Gorgeous beds and bedding, we all slept so well. Really great value for money compared to a lot of over-priced holiday let’s at the moment.

- Anna, April 2024

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed your stay Trish & Steve Lees Property Owner
David September 2023

“Y Gyrfrinach lived up to expectations and hopes!”

The accommodation was excellent, well equipped, clean, and very suitable for our requirements. We invited two family members, who live less than half a mile away, and they were impressed. If/when, we are able to come again we will not hesitate to book Y Gryfynach. Thankyou.

- David, September 2023
Linda September 2023

“This is our second visit to this beautiful apartment.”

So spacious and comfortable. Situated in a perfect location. Lovely beaches and coastal walks. Lovely touch leaving us wine, cake, milk and a doggie bag for our pooch. I would highly recommend this apartment. We will definitely be going back. Linda Katy Austin and Millie the dog.

Clive September 2023

“Lovely property.”

Very very spacious, clean and comfortable. It was great to sit outside and watch the world go by (to the beach) as well as being only a couple of minutes walk to the beach and a shop. Parking was not an issue* but it would have been nice to have a designated space * I think we were lucky as some apartments appeared to abuse the 1 space rule

- Clive, September 2023
Tricia June 2023

“Enjoyed our stay.”

The property was spacious and suited us perfectly as we required ground floor accommodation. Everything needed in a kitchen was provided and all appliances you are likely to need. Problem with TV reception was solved promptly by the owner within an hour. The spaciousness and light in the main living area was especially enjoyable and we loved sitting out in the front in the mornings and in the back in the afternoons.

Rebecca October 2022

“A wonderful property with a great location near to beach, shop and pub and coastal walks.”

Modern and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen with everything you need. Both bedrooms have plenty of space and were comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely. The owners have really put a lot of thought into providing a home from home. The only minor negative was the floors could have done with a mop. Definitely would stay here again.

- Rebecca, October 2022
William October 2022

“Excellent. We had no need to contact the owners about any problems.”

The fire controls were difficult to work. We couldn’t get the actual heat to operate but the central heating was fine so there was no problem. The TV controls were a bit complicated but that was probably as much us as anything although we couldn’t get into Netflix as we didn’t have the password. However these are very minor matters and we will certainly return to this particular apartment again.

- William, October 2022

Hi we’re glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back again some time, regarding the fire it is thermostatically controlled so if the central heating is above the setting of the fire it will not provide additional heat (we think this is a good feature in this energy crisis) we leave Netflix active but point out in the welcome book that if previous guests have logged out we can’t leave our password as every one would be watching free Netflix at home.

Steven June 2022

“Fabulous property with exceptional eye to detail.”

Superb fixtures and quality soft furnishings. Spacious yet comfortable apartment, beautifully clean and welcoming. Short walk to the beach a nice café and pub, plus another hostelry and chippy within walking distance. Thanks for a great base for our holiday.

- Steven, June 2022
Jenny May 2022

“The property is beautiful and very comfortable.”

The property was much larger than we expected. It is perfectly located within the village by the beach. We genuinely couldn’t fault it. There was an issue with parking but the owner was very helpful and sorted it for us. We will be returning to this property.

- Jenny, May 2022

“Lovely property, comfortable and plenty of space.”

Noreen October 2021

“The apartment was extremely warm and comfortable and it’s location couldn’t be better.”

Well equipped kitchen WiFi smart TV and terrific showers in both bathrooms contributed to our autumn break. 5 minute walk to the beach and coastal paths kept us busy with a few trips to other local beauty spots and restaurants all within easy distance. Local shop handy too! Will be booking again.

- Noreen, October 2021
Linda October 2021

“Fantastic holiday in the appartment.”

Excellent location. Beds really comfortable. Very spacious and well equipped. Loved the Netflix option. Fire was very cosy and relaxing with the lighting.would highly recommend this appartment. And will be booking again next year. Also lovely gesture leaving wine and dog treats.

“This was our third visit to the apartment- need I say more?”

- Kathryn, September 2021
Hannah August 2021

“Our second time at the holiday home and we love the location and open plan space.”

Perfect for walking to everywhere we need (beach, shop, pub, lovely walks) and fab water pressure for showers. We had a great week. A few things that could do with updating were: the bed in the master bedroom felt like it dipped on one side and clunked when you got on it, the bin in the kitchen was broken, dining room chairs lost padding and need replacing, scatter cushions covers need a wash. Other than the bed which does need looking at the rest were small things that didn’t take away too much from our stay.

- Hannah, August 2021
Andrew August 2021

“Great location and well appointed.”

Very relaxing. On arrival the floors through out the property needed a good sweep. In the bedroom with thr ensuite several hairs could be found in the bed.

- Andrew, August 2021
Philip July 2021

“Really well appointed ground floor flat in an awesome location….”

So good just booked for next year!

Mark September 2020

“The apartment is beautiful, furnished to a very high standard and the owners have put a lot of thought into providing everything their guests will need to have a great stay.”

The secure lawned area at the back was a bonus, our dog loved running round on it! My only issue was the 'first come, first served' parking. There is a big sign saying one parking space per apartment, not sure if everyone followed this or perhaps visitors to Morfa Nefyn took advantage of the free parking at the development. Apart from the parking issue, (which may not be a problem at other times) we had a lovely stay and I would highly recommend this apartment.

- Mark, September 2020
Hannah August 2020

“Fantastic spacious apartment and so close to the beach and amenities (pub and shop).”

Loved the shower pressure, internet speed and open plan living space. We booked again for next year.

- Hannah, August 2020
Dorothy August 2020

“Beautiful apartment only minutes walk down to the beach.”

The apartment was absolutely spotless and the bedding crisp and white. Loved the wine and goodies left for us.... and the dog bag with all their treats in !!! The bathrooms were great and all the soap, body lotions, shampoo etc left in a basket for us to use .... was a lovely touch. A wonderful place to stay, just wish it had been for longer.

- Dorothy, August 2020
Helen August 2020

“Apartment was lovely, comfortably furnished, spacious and clean.”

Everything necessary was provided including tea towels, cleaning products, toilet paper, toiletries, welcome pack, even a goody bag for a dog had we had one. The kitchen was well equipped and there was nothing we needed that wasn’t there. There was plenty of outside space and the apartment was ideally situated for the beach, local store, pubs and restaurants, not to mention the walking opportunities and exploring the rest of the Llynn Peninsula.

- Helen, August 2020
Jan July 2020

“Fabulous accommodation I have stayed in other apartments in this building and this was the best in my opinion, Extremely comfortable and well equipped and well placed.”

I will be booking it again for a fortnight next year if not sooner and available Very minor issues : TV in bedroom wasn't working Lights on cooker hood didn't work Needs coat rack in hall I think

- Jan, July 2020
Kathryn July 2020

“The apartment was lovely and very comfortable as well as really dog friendly.”

It is in a good position and we enjoyed our holiday. Parking is a problem one of our first checks is for parking but we were unable to get on the car park on some days which is a concern with a new car.

The property

Resting amongst the scenic wonder of the Llyn Peninsula, in the idyllic village of Morfa Nefyn, you can find this enticing, all-ground-floor apartment; Y Gyfrinach (The Secret).

Ideal for couples, families or friends, this apartment is a true delight for a holiday to the coast of Wales.

The open-plan living space makes a superbly sociable area from which to spend quality time together when you're not out exploring; bring a board game and sit around the dining table for hours of family fun, or choose to spend your time relaxing spread out on the plush seating arrangement in the room.

The kitchen is of equal delight, decorated in neutral tones bringing a stylish aura to the room, here you can prepare a meal at any time of day with the help of the wonderful appliances on offer, with the option to dine alfresco in the summer months as your canine companions play happily on the lawn.

When it's time to settle down for the evening, choose from one of two super-king-size rooms to call your sleeping spot; the master bedroom provides a television so you can curl up beneath the covers and watch a favourite film, as well as its own en-suite shower room so you can freshen up in the mornings at ease, while the second bedroom benefits from being served by the family bathroom, where you can enjoy a relaxing soak in the bath to begin your day.

The village of Morfa Nefyn is a truly idyllic spot to base your holiday, with a local pub to while away the hours in as well as a local store to gather any last-minute ingredients, it offers all you need, as well as the benefit of both a fantastic beach and a golf course for those seeking an outdoor experience.

For a truly adventurous day out, be sure to visit Snowdonia National Park, here you can find walking and cycling routes of all kinds, with multiple opportunities for climbing amongst its numerous lake and craggy peaks for the best views in Wales; for those seeking to relax on this scenic experience, take the Snowdon Mountain Railway to the summit of Mount Snowdon, ending your day with a delicious lunch in the form of a traditional Welsh oggie to get a true taste of Wales.

The surrounding areas of your local village, with Pwllheli and Abersoch making fantastic days out beside the watersport, with a variety of watersports on offer to keep you entertained, or head to the Italianate village of Portmeirion for its rich architectural heritage, delicious eateries including an authentic gelateria and exotic gardens to roam.
