Located in the quaint village of Trefor, Gwynedd, is Ynata, a delightful, two-bedroom, former fisherman's cottage. Set within a prime position, near both amenities and the beach, Ynata is a wonderful base for a seascape, inviting four guests and two furry companions. Park up on the roadside or in the nearby public car park, or hop off the bus, which directly travels into Caernarfon, before travelling through the front garden, and into the entrance of the home; from here, admire the breath-taking mountain views within the area. Be welcomed by the homely sitting room, featuring a characterful Inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, plush seating, and a Smart TV for entertainment. Continue through to the kitchen/diner, both sleek and well-equipped to ease your self-catered stay, home to an electric oven, induction hob, washing machine, and dishwasher. After dining as a group and enjoying a film night in with a glass of wine, head upstairs to locate two well-appointed bedrooms, including a double and a twin (zip/link). Both are serviced by a sleek shower room, where you can prepare for your day ahead. On your doorstep you'll find a convenience store, a post office, Tafarn Y Tŵr pub, and the beach, along with many hiking routes, including Garn Fôr, possible to follow to reach Traeth Nefyn and the popular Clwb Golff Nefyn Golf Club. Pwllheli Marina is also a popular area for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a plethora of opportunities to take to the water to try your hand at wakeboarding, jet skiing or windsurfing. Criccieth is also home to a sweeping beach, where you can gather for a coastal walk, a delicious bag of fish and chips, and to sample to famous Cadwaladers ice cream. Rerouting north, head for Portmeirion, an Italian-style village, brimming with boutique shops and eateries, historical landmarks, and beautiful gardens; within the area you'll also locate Traeth Glaslyn North Wales Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, perfect for nature-filled walks and bird watching, closely set near the Snowdonia National Park in the Llŷn Peninsula (AONB). A host of beauty spots are across the national park, offering the chance to summit Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and explore Beddgelert Forest, or explore The Slate Caverns of Llechwedd and its bounce below attraction, whilst Abersoch, Caernarfon and Bangor are reachable by car, popular areas for tourism. Book your next North Wales escape at Ynata.
The small community of Trefor, which overlooks Caernarfon Bay and is surrounded by water and mountains, has a harbour with a stone breakwater pier and a sheltered sandy beach where the Wales Coastal Path passes. Those who are more daring can surf regularly outside the breakwater. A convenience shop, post office, and authorised social club are helpful to the community. There is also the Welsh Language and Heritage Centre, and restaurant nearby in the community of Llithfaen. A superb, two-mile stretch of sandy beach, as well as a decent selection of shops, pubs, and restaurants, can be found in the charming coastal town of Nefyn, which is 7.5 miles away. Families and couples enjoy playing golf at the award-winning club there. There are fishing, sailing, and watersports accessible, and the area's coastline is lined with castles and coves.

The cottage is very comfortable and very well presented. The decor is beautiful with quality furniture, kitchen equipment, TV etc. I can't fault anything about it and didn't want to leave. The front garden was ideal for our little dog. The bottle of wine was a very nice welcoming touch. There is everything you could need, including all doggy necessities including treats and a ball. Katherine was very attentive at the other end of the phone for anything we needed help with. Cant wait to go back.

It was comfortable and cosy with everything you needed at hand, comfy beds too. Such a great base to explore Northern Wales. The circular walk from the cottage across the cliff tops with amazing views over the bay was beautiful. Grabbing a lovely coffee at the little shipping container cafe at the beach to finish was a great way to start our mornings with our two dogs.
