    Other than that it was lovely. Weather was excellent cottage would benefit from more books and games for inclement weather.

    Good morning Thank you for your feedback. Disappointed to hear that you found parking an issue. Parking is normally within 30 metres on our road. Taken on board your suggestion of board games and will implement. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at Arwel cottage."

    It was very cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. We loved the log burner. The location was also perfect as it was close to the coastal path and we were also in the ideal location to explore the rest of the Llyn Peninsula. The garden was also gorgeous, sadly due to the time of year and the weather, we weren’t able to take advantage of it.

    Thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave such nice feedback. Our aim is the ensure our guests have a real rest . The garden is gorgeous in the better weather . South west facing it has constant sunshine. Be lovely to welcome you back Kind regards Jane Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay in Arwel, which is very well appointed and comfortable."

    Nothing was too much trouble for the owner, who was on hand and attentive to our needs. We especially liked the kitchen and dining area which was perfect for our Christmas dinner and the lounge area was especially cosy with the log burner. A fabulous beach is less than ten minutes walk away and there’s plenty of lovely places to visit within a short driving distance, including the iconic Ty Coch Inn at Morgan Nefyn. Overall perfect for us and the dog!

    The past two years we have stayed near Abersoch but we fancied I change, and we are so glad we did. The cottage itself had everything you need, clean and very comfortable. We had a quick question about the kitchen/ bathroom tap and the owner came back very quickly. We enjoyed some lovely walks along the coastal path. Visited the community pub which we highly recommend. Also the Tap Room at the brewery, well worth a visit nice atmosphere. Both dog friendly so massive tick for us. Visited a lot of beaches , this time of year our dog friendly. On our last day we went to the pub Y Bryncynan, again dog friendly. The staff and food were very good. The walk to the Ty Coch Inn is a must just check the tide times and opening times. We would definitely be going back to Arwel.

    The cottage is very clean, comfortable and cosy. It is situated in a quiet location and has a fantastic garden for adults and the dogs. The location is superb for exploring local beaches, with some fantastic walks nearby. Would benefit from a nice armchair situated in the bay window, however this is our second visit and will not be our last.

  • "What a fantastic cottage."

    We were impressed by the high quality of the refurbishment; the owners have obviously not skimped on the costs. The lounge is comfortable with two huge settees, there's a modern bathroom with a fantastic shower, and a new kitchen/diner. The cottage was spotlessly clean and superbly decorated. The seaside theme is subtle (I love the rope lamps) and is continued upstairs. The beds are very comfortable so we slept well. Outside there's a large fully enclosed garden which our dog loved playing in. Despite being close to the village/town centre, the cottage is very quiet. All things considered, this is the best cottage we have stayed in and all being well, we will be back. Nefyn is a lovely place with a fantastic beach in a small bay. The cottage is a 5-minute walk from the beach. The Llyn peninsula is breathtaking. There's so much to see and do that we regretted not booking for longer. We were spoiled with stunning weather which was a bonus. We would highly recommend staying at Arwel. It is a fantastic cottage in a beautiful setting.

    Good morning Paul Wow!.It is extremely touching to receive such personal and complementary feedback. I love my fishermans cottage and I feel thrilled that you did too.

Nefyn has great amenities such as Local Shop, Community Pub, Caffi Ni and an Indian Restaurant / takeaway all within walking distance.

Was lucky enough to bump in to Jane , the owner. She was lovely and obviously cares a great deal about Arwel and that people enjoy their stays. She leaves you to it generally which works great.
