Abersoch Holiday Cottages

Abersoch is a real treasure which has a special place in the hearts of many, for all sorts of different reasons. It captures the attention of all who visit and remains in the memory forever. Originally a traditional fishing port, boats can still be seen in the pretty bay, though today’s boats aren’t all after a catch. People to take to the water for everything from wakeboarding, to dolphin spotting, to on-boat barbecuing! 

The village is set on the south coast of the Llŷn and the anyone looking out into the East on a clear day will be fortunate enough to take in breathtaking sweeping views of Harlech and Barmouth over a halcyon sea, with the St Tudwals’ Islands East and West a little closer to the shore. 

Abersoch translates to ‘the mouth of the river Soch’ and the golden sands where the river meets the sea form some of the most stunning beaches in Britain. These beaches are all different in their features but equal in their charm. Whether ambling down to the harbour to catch crabs off the jetty is your thing, or taking the dogs for a walk over the groynes towards Bwlchtocyn, these special beaches really do have something to offer for everyone.

Just up the road is Fresh, renowned for its fabulous steaks or you can pop down to Zinc to sample something from their grill. If a long day on the beach has worked up a thirst, there is no nicer place to enjoy a cold glass of wine than Abersoch. You can choose from a relaxed pint on the St Tuds patio, complete with children’s play area or a cool cider in the Vaynol beer garden- a real sun trap!
