A perfect seaside escape, this cosy Welsh cottage is just 2 miles from Trefor Beach. Made for two guests, the mid-terrace cottage is truly cosy with exposed brickwork, wooden beams and traditionally charming décor - notice the Welsh dragon carved into the doorframe on your way in! The bijou space is a destination for a couple’s escape yet is also dog-friendly allowing pet owners to embrace long coastal hikes on the Llyn Peninsula and further adventure in the Snowdonia National Park (11 miles).

Every nook and cranny of this cute cottage is filled with a characterful feature, creating a home-from-home with a real eclectic atmosphere. The lounge/diner greets you on arrival, a space with a wood burner neatly tucked away in a fireplace alcove and comfy seating set opposite a TV. Discover another TV in the double bedroom upstairs, perfect for those who like to enjoy their favourite film from the comfort of bed. Moving back downstairs, past the shower room, find a kitchen with direct access to the patio space. This area is fully furnished for alfresco evenings and presents a shed and bike wash station for all of your storage needs in between daily adventures.

Just 5 miles away, the crescent beach and village of Nefyn offers a fantastic base for any break with shops, pubs and coastal walking routes that set off from here. The property is surrounded by Llyn’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty countryside, with landmarks including the Gyrn Ddu stones just 3 miles away and St Cybi's Well 4.5 miles. The young at heart will adore an afternoon at Glasfryn Parc Activity Centre (2 miles), home to an aquapark and go-karting with activities including archery, wakeboarding and paddleboarding also available close by.

Lovely cottage and helpful owners. A welcome pack and everything you need for the dog, in case you've forgotten anything... Log burner which was welcome as the weather was a bit wild... The only thing was no where to walk to. You need the car, but saying that lots of beaches not too far away. Anglesey not that far either. We enjoyed our stay... As Read moredid the dog.... Hide

The welcome and little touches were well appreciated. It is a sweet compact cottage and the owners are affable, helpful and very dog friendly lovely people. The need for a car is essential to reach some of the outstanding beaches and the treasures of the local Welsh countryside.
