Having scoured the internet for a cottage on the peninsula, I couldnât find anything to match it - hence the revisit. Itâs the perfect balance of remote and accessible: it feels like it is in the wilds but other property near enough that it doesnât feel isolated and I was happy to stay there travelling solo. There are walks from the door step ( to Criceath and Borth-y-Gest) but itâs also easy to get to all points on the peninsula and up into Snowdonia - favourite spots this time were Mynydd Mayr ( at the far tip of the peninsula) and Nant Gwrtheyrn ( on the north coast) - both great spots for walking. The cottage is very very peaceful, the decoration lovely and the bed was fine, although firmer than my one at home ( and the bath is great!). The track down is bumpy with some puddles but not flooded despite all the rain- just take it slowly. The bottom coast road from black rock sands through to Morfa Bychan and Porthmadog is flooded and doesnât look like it will open any time soon, but youâre fine if you follow the instructions on how to get to the cottage ( just ignore the road closed sign where you turn off by the railway bridge). Had a brilliant time. Thank you for such a lovely restful stay in my âhappy placeâ!! Hope to be back!

It was everything we hoped for and more, the location is remote enough that you feel closer to nature but not so remote you are completely cut off. We only used our car twice during the week as there are a lot of lovely and long walks on the doorstep. We spoke to the owner on the second day as he was passing by, and I was delighted to learn that he had done most of the artwork in the cottage. Just a small heads up for people with small ramshackled cars like ours, the drive up to the cottage is rather bumpy and pot holey so take it slow. Also we struggled to find the wifi code, it is within the wifi box and bin bags are under the sink. But I cannot stress how much we enjoyed our very comfortable stay here! We would most certainly love to visit again!
