Great views and the main village well within a short walk. This is a thoroughly recommended place to stay. We hope to return in the near future

I would say it could be improved with a makeover - new grout, new furniture, lick of paint etc. It's not in bad shape but feels rather tired. Whilst it wasn't expensive for the area, I was left feeling I'd slightly overpaid for the tired state of everything.

Abersoch and all the local amenities are only a short walk away. The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to eat in when we wanted, the bed was comfortable, the shower was perfectly adequate, the view from the kitchen was gorgeous and it was so quiet.
