About this property

Y Big is a traditional single storey detached Welsh cottage located on the outskirts of the pretty seaside village of Morfa Nefyn. It boasts wonderful views down the Llyn Peninsula to the slopes of Garn Fadryn and its ancient fort.

Within easy reach of pubs, shops and cafes, yet offering quiet and seclusion, this is a splendid private retreat and ideal location for families seeking a break in North Wales.

Located down a quiet private lane the property has off-road parking. Step in through the comfortable conservatory into the well equipped kitchen with its large farmhouse style dining table.

To the right there are two steps down to the cosy lounge with a wood burning stove, 2 black leather settees and a large screen TV and leading off that is the double bedroom with its own en-suite WC and basin.

On the other side of the kitchen a short corridor leads to the wet room, with its walk-in shower, basin and WC and to the twin bedded room with large built-in wardrobes. The corridor also leads to the back door and small storage area.

Outside there is a paved area with an outside dining table and chairs, with fantastic views down the peninsula and a particularly good spot for enjoying sunsets. There is also a chiminea to keep you warm in the evenings once the sun has gone down. Steps from this area lead up to the lawn.

If you fancy a meal out, a stone-built 19th century pub, Y Bryncynan, is about 15 minute walk away and in the opposite direction, towards Morfa Nefyn you’ll find the famous Ty Coch Inn, voted the third most popular beach bar in the world. There is also brewery in Nefyn with a bar that is open to the public that brews an array of real ales. The cottage is also handy for the other shops, pubs, restaurants & takeaways in Morfa Nefyn & Nefyn.

The Llyn Peninsula offers glorious coastal paths and idyllic coves and beaches – fantastic for wildlife lovers, walkers or family days on the sand. Learn about local heritage in the picturesque village of Nefyn, home to a Maritime Museum, an old harbour wall and a wonderful beach. About a 15 minute drive is the bustling market town of Pwllheli where you can dine at a traditional pub, explore the shops, wander around the marina or enjoy one of Pwllheli’s two magnificent beaches.

Further afield lie the dramatic landscapes of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, the castles at Criccieth, Harlech and Caernarvon, the exhilarating Zip World at Penrhyn Quarry, the heritage railways from Porthmadog to Ffestiniog or Caernarvon and the Italianate splendour of Portmerion where the 60’s TV classic ‘The Prisoner’ was filmed.

Morfa Nefyn, a picturesque coastal community on the north coast of the Llyn Peninsula, sits atop sweeping cliffs and has a lovely two-mile stretch of sandy beach that is popular with kids. Morfa Nefyn is home to a garage, a charming village shop with a cafe, two pubs, and eateries. Both the surrounding town of Nefyn and the popular towns of Pwllheli, Abersoch, and the picturesque village of Boduan offer a variety of shops, post offices, bars, and restaurants, and both are close to the amenities of the famous towns of Pwllheli, Abersoch, and the charming village of Boduan. There are castles and coves dotted throughout the coastline, and fishing, sailing, and watersports are all available. The Snowdonia National Park, with its magnificent scenery, excellent treks, and numerous outdoor activity centres for the more enthusiastic guests, is only 25 miles distant. The National Trust owns the majority of the coastline, and there are numerous isolated bays, sandy beaches, cliffs, and wildlife havens like Bardsey Island to discover. The Welsh Coastal Path runs from adjacent Porthmadog all the way around the peninsula to Caernarfon on the north coast, and it includes a 91-mile portion that runs from nearby Porthmadog all the way around the peninsula to Caernarfon on the north coast. Portmeirion, the Isle of Anglesey, Caernarfon, and Bangor are all within reasonable driving distance. Morfa Nefyn is an excellent base for a getaway because of its proximity to so many other places.

  • Margaret

    It is very private and secluded being reached down very narrow single track lanes with high hedges - not for the nervous. Luckily it is rare to meet a vehicle travelling the other way!

  • Christina

    Visited beautiful beaches. A great place for walking and getting away from the busy world. The owners are lovely and will vacillate all your needs.

  • Mark

    Great base for seeing the Llyn and 20min walk to the beach mainly along country lanes.
