With views of Eryri - Snowdonia from its lovely garden, this detached stone cottage is a peaceful getaway for couples or families. Close to the owner’s house in the countryside between Pwllheli and Criccieth, it’s an excellent base for exploring the Llyn Peninsula.
At the heart of this single-storey property is an impressive stone inglenook in the kitchen/diner which houses a multi-fuel burner - the perfect accompaniment on a cool evening. This welcoming room has a kitchen set below a sloping, timber-clad ceiling with a breakfast bar for two, a window seat and antique furnishings that include a traditional oak settle. Although there is no washing machine, a free laundry service is available. In the lounge you can gather around the flame-effect electric fire and play games, watch TV or read one of the many books in the bookcase. The two prettily decorated bedrooms, a double and a twin, share a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Head outside and relax on your private patio with seating and breathe in the fresh Welsh air. You also have use of a shared, impeccably maintained garden that has seating areas, an arbour and a large lawn with a fish pond and garden furniture. Secure bike storage is provided, and there is even space for a small boat.
The cottage is just 3 miles from Pwllheli and its marina, beaches, shops and cafes. Criccieth and its famous castle are 7 miles, while the popular coastal resort of Abersoch is 9 miles - the place to go for a variety of water sports. From here there is superb walking on the Wales Coast Path, rural cycling, sailing, windsurfing, horse riding and golf, while the historic walled town of Caernarfon - one of the most popular places to visit in Wales - is just 17 miles.
