In the Llŷn Peninsula Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this contemporary dwelling sleeps up to eight guests in four bedrooms and suits families, friends and couples hoping to explore breath-taking beaches, countryside, and Snowdonia National Park. Arriving at your home-from-home you'll find off-road parking to unload your luggage and step inside the bright entrance hall. Sure to please the designated chef, the open-plan living space has a well-equipped kitchen, finished to a high standard with an electric oven and hob, plenty of preparation space, and a large fridge/freezer. This sociable space also has a breakfast bar for two and a sitting area with two leather sofas to relax with a hot beverage. On summer days, open the bi-fold doors to let the outside in, and why not dine al fresco in your private, enclosed garden? There's plenty of lawn space and a swing set for little ones to play, whilst the adults relax in the sunshine. Back inside, more dining space awaits in the living/dining room with a table for six and a table for two, along with traditional furnishings, a gas fire, wall-mounted TV, and cushioned seats for you to unwind after the day's adventures. The ground floor also has a utility with a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as a ground-floor shower room, so you can freshen up with ease after busy beach days. The four double rooms are upstairs, all thoughtfully appointed with storage space, and one with a TV. The bedrooms are served by a contemporary bathroom with a sleek finish where you can relax in the bath or rinse in the walk-in shower, whilst your towel warms on the heated rail. When it's time to explore, Pwllheli is an excellent base for touring North Wales; play a game or two at Clwb Golff Pwllheli, stroll the golden sands of Traeth Marian-y-de, and explore the picturesque marina with plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from. A haven for surfers and swimmers, Abersoch is close by with three beautiful beaches, whether you want to relax or try your hand at watersports. Porth Neigwl is another idyllic beach nearby for sunbathing and admiring the scenery and is overlooked by the National Trust's Plas yn Rhiw, a 16th-century manor house with formal gardens. A little further along lies Aberdaron, a charming little village with traditional cafes, bakery, and the historic St Hywyn's Church, as well as Traeth Aberdaron and coastal walks to spot local bird life. More history awaits at Criccieth with the fascinating Castell Criccieth, whilst the bustling Porthmadog offers scenic routes on the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways through pastures and forests. The Italianate village of Portmeirion is another unique, must-visit, or if you're looking for outdoor adventures, Snowdonia National Park is within reach for breath-taking hikes, Zip World Llechwedd, and the Ceunant Llennyrch National Nature Reserve.

The quality of them didnât match the quality of the rest of the house and what we would have expected. The bedding and towels were also of cheap quality. We had the worst week of sleep weâve ever had away, so disappointing when everything else was really good. Have already been in touch with Carys directly and have been told theyâre replacing the beds in September and putting black out blinds in then. Although this is great for future guests it feels too little too late.

We appreciated the extra loo rolls, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. When we informed carys about the leak under sink and wasps getting through crack in wall she responded immediately. If there's anything that could be improved upon for the comfort of those staying would be black out curtains, otherwise was perfect!
