Owing to its location on the slopes of the Yr Eifl mountain range, the small community of Llithfaen is one of the highest villages on the Llyn Peninsula, with some of the best views in the area. The village has its own community-run village shop and local bar, which has been welcoming visitors since 1988. The Welsh Language and Background Centre and restaurant are located close up the road at Nant Gwrtheyrn, which also has a pebble beach, and Llithfaen is particularly proud of its Welsh heritage. Nefyn, a charming seaside town perched on sweeping cliffs, is 4 miles away and has a lovely two-mile stretch of sandy beach popular with kids, as well as a decent selection of shops, pubs, and restaurants. The amenities of the tourist towns of Pwllheli, Abersoch, and Caernarfon are also within easy distance of the community. The Ty Coch pub in adjacent Porth Dinllaen was rated the third finest 'beach bar' in the world in an internet feature in June 2013. The region's coastline is lined with castles and coves, and fishing, sailing, and other water sports are accessible. The Snowdonia National Park, with its spectacular landscape and numerous excellent treks, is only 25 miles distant. This location is an excellent base for a trip to North Wales because of its accessibility to so many attractions.

cottage very nice rearly homely. shame about the ants in the kitchen, couldn't use the ant powder provided as it would not be good for my dog. was forced to use the top of the fridge as a worktop. other than that very comfortable and lovely gardens.

Itâs a beautiful secluded and cosy place, with a lovely big garden surrounded by woodland - perfect! We love the peace and quiet here, lots of birdsong and the occasional fast jet from Anglesey overhead which is always exciting. I enjoyed exploring the woodland with my camera and a walk down to the lake along the long driveway was very pleasant. A little disappointed to find the DVD player has been removed, but there are plenty of options on the TV - Netflix and Amazon are available if you have an account. The only minor issue we encountered was that the TV remote control wasnât working - there was a note to advise trying to use an app, which we did - and which worked for us. However if the internet goes down (which it did, briefly) and you werenât technically âsavvyâ to be able to find and download the app and/or reset the internet, you may find yourself without TV. Not sure if it was just a case of none of the various batteries working or if itâs a problem with the remote itself, but worth a mention. We had a wonderful time, though, and everything else was great - a well-appointed cottage with everything you could need. The location is great for getting out and exploring the beautiful Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia areas. Beaches are wonderful, and there are some lovely little towns nearby. We will definitely be back. Love this little cottage!

Firstly the cottage itself is magical, it gives you a big hug as you walk in, we had everything we needed, it is such a special place, we woke every morning to the idyllic garden view. Secondly the garden is perfect set in enormous grounds that are like something from the book The Secret Garden, lots of lovely nooks and crannies and huge areas where we played games. And thirdly the location of the cottage was also perfect, lots of lovely walks close by and only a 20 min drive from most beaches (The Ty Coch inn and beach is worth a visit) we all loved our stay. The only downfall for this cottage is that we had to leave. We will definitely be back
