“Outstanding cottage in a stunning location - lovely and peaceful, huge hot tub, log burner, very dog friendly (our 2 whippets loved it) - everything you could want - plus an EV charger which was an unexpected bonus!”

Stacey May 2024

“The cottage was beautiful and well stocked with everything you would need for 8 people.”

The hot tub was clean and all set up. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. The only downsides were: the smell of the main bathroom from the drains, the size of the shower in the shower room made it difficult to wash your hair but this wouldn’t put me off booking again.

- Stacey, May 2024

Thanks for your really positive review and glad you enjoyed the hot tub! You'll be glad to hear the issue with the bathroom has been resolved, that's traditional properties not on the main drains occasional does for you! on the upside you get to be in a beautiful rural location. We would love to welcome you back! Property Owner

Neil March 2024

“We had the most amazing stay at Pen y Cefn!”

A real home from home! Our 2 dogs loved the outdoor space, and our 7yr old girl absolutely loved the hot tub! The views from the cottage, the peace and tranquility were second to none! We as a family cannot wait to return! A massive thankyou to you, the owners! You really have thought of everything in order to give everyone a memorable stay!

- Neil, March 2024

A big thank you for a lovely review. Glad you loved and appreciated its position on the peninsular as much as we do! We have a lab and daughters who appreciate very much the same things about Pen Y Cefn too! Property Owner
Luke February 2024

“Excellent all round.”

The cottage is superb. A real home from home. Everything has been thought of and the property is very well equipped. The hot tub is a real plus too. The location is ideal for exploring the coast line as well as being secluded and peaceful. We are already devising a plan to visit again. Thanks for having us.

- Luke, February 2024

Thanks for your lovely review. We look forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner
Lisa September 2023

“Great, quiet, secure location, ideally positioned to travel to many tourist attractions.”

Dogs loved the outdoor space. Bonus having the hot tub. Well equipped spacious kitchen, large dining table and two long sofa’s which was comfortable for the three of us. Main two bedrooms comfortable with great storage space. The two bathrooms are very small with limited space for turning and movement and would not suit those with mobility problems. Have made some suggestions directly with the owner regarding cleanliness issues and a couple of other things, who has been very responsive to them. Overall it is a lovely rental, needs some improvements here and there and is better suited to a small young family and/or 2 couples max because of the bathrooms.

- Lisa, September 2023
Claire September 2023

“Couple of cleanliness issues.”

Cottage in a beautiful scenic area, hot tub definitely a bonus.

- Claire, September 2023
Gill July 2023

“Thanks for a wonderful stay.”

Sheer luxury and so well equipped we loved everything about it. The setting is so peaceful and idyllic and just perfect for a relaxing break. Our sausage dog loved it too and was safe in the gated garden. The property was perfectly accessible too as my parents have mobility issues so they were able to walk around the property and garden easily with no trip hazards. The location is great and we were able to get to all of our favourite places within a short drive. All in all we would highly recommend ⭐️

- Gill, July 2023

Thank you Gill for such lovely feedback. We are so pleased you and your party enjoyed your stay for both the 'sheer luxury' of the property and the' peaceful and idyllic' location. We certainly love it too! We would love to welcome you and your family and friends back to Pen Y Cefn some time in the future. Property Owner
Ann July 2023

“Well equipped property with a beautiful location and well done modernisation.”

Nice welcome pack on arrival. Couple of small issues reported to the owners who welcomed us by email, and by maintaining contact, were able to confirm would be dealt with. One other issue which arose was amicably sorted out by the owners. Well presented property which we may well return to. Thanks to them for renting out a lovely family home which is ideal for family holidays

- Ann, July 2023

Many thanks for your very positive feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and found Pen Y Cefn well equipped and presented and a lovely family home, ideal for a family holidays. We would very much welcome hosting you and your family and friends again some time in the future. Property Owner
Lloyd December 2022

“Has the potential to be a lot better.”

Pen Y Cefn has the most beautiful, private setting in a lovely part of North Wales but the owner really needs to address the cleaning and maintenance issues. This place was grubby, dusty and needed a deep clean.

- Lloyd, December 2022

Thank you for your very positive feedback on the setting and location of our much loved cottage As owners, we had already scheduled in a maintenance period in January/February 2023 to carry out a FRESHENING UP OF THE INTERIOR through repainting, and minor repairs, after a very busy booking season last year all through September, October, November and into December. We have in addition changed to a NEW CLEANING TEAM from a different provider for 2023 with an emphasis being placed on high standards of cleanliness every changeover. I am confident our much valued guests will appreciate these innovations for the new season of 2023. Property Owner
Julie September 2022

“Absolutely amazing place , just what we needed… unfortunately I would have expected more of a deep clean !”

Especially bathrooms . Toilet seats didn’t fit and were loose . Floor not clean plus mold around taps etc . Having said all that I will be booking again hoping that the cleaning issues are corrected.

- Julie, September 2022
Nicholas September 2022

“Really lovely property in an ideal location.”

Couple of things needed some very minor attention. Owners very accommodating - thanks for a great stay would definitely return

- Nicholas, September 2022
Alison August 2022

“Lovely cottage and garden patio area.”

Bathrooms smaller than expected. Lots of dust eg skirting boards, bed frames, lamp shades and cobwebs needs a more regular deep clean. Bed creaked. Good storage and facilities in kitchen. Walls in need of a refresh. For the price paid would expect it to be spotless.

- Alison, August 2022
Matt July 2022

“We had a fantastic few days at Pen Y Cefn.”

The accommodation is superb. The location was great and the owner was very responsive.

- Matt, July 2022
Ian April 2022

“Great property and the location is excellent, quiet and secluded but only a few mins from great places to visit and dine out.”

We loved it and was perfect for our family get-together/holiday. Spacious kitchen/dining and living areas and well equipped, perfect for dining in and for enjoying the evening together, Log burner excellent and really gets the place cosy. We'd happily stay again next time we visit the beautiful Llyn Peninsula

- Ian, April 2022
Samuel October 2021

“Our stay was perfect!”

The house was amazing, perfect scenic location. Turned up to a welcome basket. Little issue with WIFI but that was no issue for the owner to sort out straight away. She was amazing. Would highly recommend staying here.

- Samuel, October 2021
Antony September 2021

“This is a really high quality cottage, well presented and in a stunning location.”

It had everything we needed (and more) for a relaxing break. Even the guy who came to check the hot-tub chemicals said it's the best place he visits! It was our first UK holiday in a long time, and also the first with our young dog who loved the freedom of the garden (and we didn't have to worry about her escaping). It was such a nice break, and we were very sad to leave.

- Antony, September 2021
Julie August 2021

“The cottage is amazing, has everything you could wish for, lovely welcome pack on arrival too.”

Very secure for any pets and we all made use of the hot tub. Secluded but close to all attractions.

- Julie, August 2021
Alex July 2021

“We had a lovely stay - The cottage had everything we needed and we thought the setting was beautiful.”

The hot tub was a lovely treat at the end of each day. The location was excellent for exploring beaches, castles and Snowdonia. We had one longer trip to Llandudno which was worth the journey. The only thing we felt was missing was hairdryer - it could have been that this was mentioned in the pre information and we missed it though. Over all a really lovely stay plenty of space for 8 very comfortable and relaxing holiday all round.

- Alex, July 2021
Julian July 2021

“As everyone knows there are does and don’t s in every holiday accommodation but to put kitchen worktops in that are so susceptible to tea stains in my view is completely stupid we made cups of tea on BATH TOWELS !”

!!!!otherwise had a great time thanks would book again!!!

- Julian, July 2021
A May 2021

“The house is beautiful and is equipped with everything we could have needed!”

We had a brilliant time - thank you!

- A, May 2021
Philip May 2021

“We all enjoyed our stay at this fabulous property.”

It had everything we wanted, well laid out, equipped and finished to a high standard, and in a perfect setting. We'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in a high quality, rural property.

- Philip, May 2021
Katie October 2020

“We had the most incredible week in Pen Y Cefn.”

We arrived to find it beautiful and clean with little supplies dotted round the house to get us started. The hot tub was warm and ready to go and after a few days we needed some support and the contact number was very helpful, they came out at the earliest opportunity to get it back up and running. There wasn’t much around us but we loved that it was quiet in the evenings being set back off the main road. It was very spacious inside and had everything we could have asked for, We are already planning our next trip and can’t wait to return!

- Katie, October 2020
Adam September 2020

“Amazing cottage in a brilliant location hidden away but so close to the amenities you need.”

I would definitely go back!

The property

Pwllheli 4.9 miles.

Pen Y Cefn is a traditional Welsh long cottage enjoying a lovely position amidst rolling countryside, settled at the centre of the Llyn Peninsula, but near to Pwllheli.

This stone-built cottage has an all-ground-floor layout, and boasts a light, contemporary interior, paired with classic touches such as the slate and a mill stone flooring in the entrance hall.

Enter this home-from-home after a day of exploring the stunning Llyn Peninsula by heading to the heart of the home, the open-plan living space; here you can relax in the sitting area before the Smart TV or listen to music via the blue-tooth sound bar before you begin to prepare the evening meal.

Enjoy cooking within the newly installed, fully equipped kitchen, with its central island and French windows opening onto a patio.

Eat out on sunny evenings on the south facing patio, which catches the sun and then relax with a glass of wine as you watch over the children make use of the safe enclosed lawned garden with hot tub.

Alternatively move through to gather around the large dining table and toast to your wonderful holiday.

Then return to relax in the lounge area with its own wood burning stove and stunning views of the surrounding countryside via bifold doors.

Settle down in one of the four superb bedrooms, choosing from one of two king-size, or two twin rooms, all boasting simple and elegant style as well as practical storage.

Completing the layout of the property is the bathroom and shower room.

The coastline around this region is dotted with castles and coves, while fishing, sailing and watersports are all available.

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

The Llyn Peninsula is itself renowned for its outstanding scenery and varied walking.

The Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park is 25 miles away, with its dramatic scenery and superb walks.

Also within easy reach are Portmeirion and the Isle of Anglesey.

With its proximity to such a wide range of destinations, Rhosfawr at the centre of the peninsular makes a superb base for a break.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.

Pwllheli 4.9 miles, Morfa Nefyn 6 miles, Llanbedrog 8.5 miles, Abersoch 11miles

Pen Y Cefn is in the small hamlet of Rhosfawr at the centre of the peninsular but nearest to the unofficial capital of the Llyn Peninsula, Pwllheli, and this is where you can access a range of shops for food and essentials, as well as restaurants and pubs.

The town is home to a stunning marina, used as a base for the 2012 Commonwealth Games and has a rich maritime history to delve into.

Morfa Nefyn is a small village just 6 miles to the North West of this luxurious property; this bustling seaside village is perfect for the feel of Wales with lovely cafes and its long sweeping sheltered sandy bay nestling behind the Nefyn headlands.

Perfect for a family day out, the beach at Morfa Nefyn, Porth Dinllean is a natural suntrap with fine sands, rock pools and a life boat station at its end, as well as one of Wales least best kept secrets, the Ty Coch Inn which is right on the water’s edge; water sport enthusiasts can enjoy the variety of conditions perfect for surfers and sailors alike.

With dog friendly sections, it is a brilliant way for your dog to enjoy their holiday as well, running in and out the waves.

For the avid golfer, Nefyn & District Golf club hugs the Nefyn headland meaning you can enjoy breath-taking views as you make your way round this 18 hole championship course. Free access to the path running through the Golf Course allows walkers the same pleasure.

To the South West of the cottage, Llanbedrog has been welcoming families and pets for many years and it is still a popular destination for a day at the beach with its shallow water, perfect for little ones to go fishing with a net and bucket.

Renowned for its mile-long sheltered beach and prettily lined with coloured beach huts April to September, it is mostly managed by the National Trust. means There is something for everyone from water sports to adventure packs for kids which can be picked up from the car park and contain different activities from bug hunting, leaf trails and more.

The beach not only offers a beach café and evening restaurant but the village boasts an art gallery, open air theatre and woodland, coastline walks up to a tin man on the headland.

Head over to the very popular village of Abersoch for the day and visit its beautiful beach with sailing club, play a round of golf at Abersoch Golf Club, peruse the many gift and clothes boutiques or enjoyed one of the many varied and fine restaurants, cafes or bars.
