A sophisticated country retreat enveloped by heather-topped mountains and set deep in the Nanhoron Valley. This romantic bolthole is the perfect secluded hideaway for a pair of outdoor lovers exploring the Llyn Peninsula. Venture coast-side and amble along the pebbly shoreline of Criccieth Beach (14 miles) beneath the imposing castle, before curling up in the flickering glow of the wood burner with a tipple in hand.
This elegant cottage boasts a beautifully designed interior with cool neutral tones, sleek wall panelling, and sophisticated soft furnishings. Unravel outdoor layers in the hallway then step into the open plan heart of the home. Raid the shaker kitchen cabinets for a selection of locally sourced nibbles then slide out a chilled bottle of fizz. Dine at the sleek kitchen island bathed in the warm light streaming in from the Velux window above. Retire to the lounge area and throw another log on the wood burner before sinking onto the sofas amongst the plump scatter cushions and unwinding with a film. Rest up in the tranquil king bedroom styled in calming purples and featuring a chic en-suite accessible via a sliding stable door. Slink away for a soak in the exquisite freestanding tub then slip into a fluffy bathrobe. Enjoy a crisp al fresco breakfast spread perched on the raised wooden deck or settle in for a sizzling afternoon feast.
Admire the colourful beach huts as your saunter along the sands of Llanbedrog Beach (5 miles) then indulge in fresh Welsh cakes and frothy coffee at one of the welcoming tea rooms. Pick up a section of the rugged Llyn Coastal Path snaking along the cliffside from Pwllheli (6 miles), or admire the striking medieval architecture dominating the waterfront in Caernarfon (25 miles).
