Dating back to 1857, this stunning Gothic Victorian mansion offers a get-together of ten friends or a large family in the picturesque Llyn Peninsula. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, explore the rich landscape that Wales has to offer before coming home to a cosy cottage and putting your feet up.
Step inside the private wing of this impressive Gothic mansion to find two floors of immaculate accommodation with quirky antiques at every turn. On the first floor, make your way to the kitchen, where you’ll find everything you need to prepare hearty breakfasts. Take these through to the grand dining room, where a high-vaulted ceiling takes your breath away and the table is fit for lively banquets with your guests. After feasting like royalty, sink into pillowy sofas for a good-old catch-up and some healthy competition playing board games. When night draws in, venture to one of the five bedrooms, all boasting crisp white linens and a relaxing atmosphere. In the morning, carry your freshly brewed coffee through to the private patio or pop it in a travel mug and discover the woodland walk trail right from your backdoor. Set on a country estate, you’re welcome to wander the grounds or visit the on-site heritage centre, café and art gallery – this really is a unique property!
Just 350 metres from the home sits the sheltered sandy beach of Llanbedrog, with colourful beach huts overlooking Cardigan Bay. Its gentle sloping sands and lapping waters make it perfect for a day with the kids, and find the hidden ‘tin man’ sculpture who sits amongst the adjacent heathland. Keen walkers can pick up the Wales Coast Path from the doorstep. Tranquil and often unoccupied, the Wales Coast Path shows the country at its most rugged, with wild heathlands and unbroken landscapes rich with unexpected wildlife. To top up the energy stores, visit Abersoch, 2.5 miles away from the cottage, for a cuppa and a Welsh cake or two.
