Such a peaceful location. Perfect for families with no fewer than three gardens and all enclosed and safe. Seeing the sun rise through the kitchen window as you make your morning brew is a great way to start the day. The beautiful Whistling Sands and Aberdaron beaches within an 8min drive. Lovely walks up Mynydd Anelog directly from the cottage to see the gorgeous sunsets over the end of the peninsula or continue on the coastal path routes. The owner was warm and friendly in all our communications and when we had a minor problem with the dishwasher, it was solved within the hour.

The inside of the cottage is traditional and comfortable, its clean and well equipped, the outside space is well kept with amazing views over the surrounding farmland. It doesn't have proper "sea views" but you can see the sea and be on the coastal path just west of Porth Oer within a 15 minute walk. Aberdaron is an easy 30 minute walk in the other direction. Parking is ample with room two or maybe three vehicles, though you do need a bit of space to turn around to exit the property. Getting the key was easy, the owners are on the ball with communication and stopped by to say hi and make sure everything was ok during our stay. We loved it and hope to be back soon.
