  • "The accommodation was great."

    Two small additions would make a difference. A potato masher and a measuring jug. Otherwise, faultless

  • "This is the first time we had been to this area of Wales and we absolutely loved the area."

    Short walk to the beach at Nefyn which the children and dogs enjoyed massively. The cottage was used as a base to explore the area, and we visited lots of places and got great memories. The cottage itself was really clean when we arrived and had some milk in the fridge and tea/ coffee to make a brew, which was great after a love drive. The enclosed garden is brilliant for the dogs and kids to play outside. The log burner was used every evening and was lovely to sit as a family in the large sitting room. Nice dining area which the kids used to colour and watch telly which gave us a break too! We will definitely use the cottage again, and can’t wait to revisit this part of Wales again.

    The cottage was absolutely beautiful. Spotlessly clean. All the rooms decorated to the highest standard. Decor beautiful. Perfectly placed near to amenities and beach. Large enclosed garden which Jack our Westie loved. Pam was so lovely and welcoming. Easy to contact and responded immediately. We all loved it! Myself, Husband, Son and my Mum and Jack the Westie. Extremely comfortable and highest specifications. Lovely jacuzzi bath and double shower. Lots of fluffy towels. Will definitely be back.

  • "We had a great week at Bwthyn Defaid, it's a really comfortable and charming cottage."

    It was ideal for us a family of 4 with two teenagers who don't like sharing a room - the single bedrooms are almost identical, so no arguments over who had the best room! Our dog Joni loved the cottage too and enjoyed running around the secure back garden and also exploring the local beaches. Nefyn is a wonderful spot with beautiful sandy beaches and cliff top walks. It's also easy to get to places like Portmeirion and Caernarvon if you get tired of the Llyn Peninsula, as well as exploring Snowdonia, including a visit to Zip World! We would definitely return in the future.

    Thank you for your feedback, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay, and you are all welcome you back anytime. Property Owner

  • "The cottage and garden are lovely."

    The owner left a chocolate cake which was nice but we were only left 4 teabags and 3 pieces on the kitchen roll which were disappointing My daughter came with our grandson for a couple of days and the owner kindly provided a high chair and travel cot. There isn’t much to do in Nefyn itself. We found some dog walks. The road to the beach is quite steep and access is better by car. There is a small Premier shop close by and a much bigger Spar shop and pharmacy a little further along the road. We drove into Pwhelli which is only 15 minutes by car. Lovely beach and plenty of shops. We also drove to Abersoch and Caernarfon

    I’m glad you liked the cottage. As a self catering property, I do like to provide things to get you started when you arrive, so you can enjoy a cup of tea and a piece of cake when you arrive, before you unpack your own things or take a trip to the shops. Nefyn is very much a beach resort with lots of beaches and walks to enjoy in the area, I’m glad you found the larger towns of Caernarfon and Pwllheli with their variety of shops if that’s what you were looking for.

    So I went alone. The cottage itself was superb highest quality and cleanliness one of the best I have been to. I am extremely disappointed and upset that my request for a new date was not entertained and I had no chance to explain why.

    Thank you for your feedback. I received your request to change the date less than 48 hours before your arrival with no explanation from you as to why you wanted to change. I did send you a message which you have not replied to? I’m glad you found Bwthyn Defaid to be one of the best cottages you’ve been to. High standards are very important to me. Property Owner

    Contrary to the impression given in the description, there are no direct countryside views though the path to the coast is nearby and easily accessible, and offers good marine views, as well as those of the hilly backcloth to Nefyn.

    However, the stairs are very steep and for people with young children it would benefit from stairgates. During too very wet days it also felt a bit cold. Also due to the steepness of the path the beach is better accessed by car, if you are elderly or have young children. Nevertheless we had a really lovely stay!

  • "We enjoyed our stay at Bewthyn Defaid."

    The cottage is very well-equipped and in a nice quiet area. There were a few points that could be addressed : 1. New matresses are needed for the 2 single beds as the springs were sticking up. 2. We couldn't alter the central heating and there were some cold evenings. 3. The grill on the oven didn't work.

    I am delighted you enjoyed your stay at Bwthyn Defaid. As an owner, the experience of my guests is paramount to me, that is why I am contactable 24 hours a day to assist with anything that I can, and I am only a couple of minutes away. My contact details are provided by Menai holidays, and also left for you by myself on arrival. However, I had no contact at all from you during your stay. If you had raised you queries with me, I would have been able to address them immediately. The heating is controlled by a hive, and so I am aware of the activity of the system. As you increased the temperature of the heating shortly after arriving, then again the following day to 20 degrees, the temperature of the house remained constant throughout your weeks stay, if it appeared to you the heating wasn’t on, that is because the temperature of the house was higher than 20 degrees. I would also have been able to clarify to you how the grill works (it does). I am sorry the mattresses were not to your taste. The mattress you refer to was in perfect condition, it was new last year with no damage to the springs. I have now replaced it with a firmer mattress which will hopefully be more appealing to my future guests. Property Owner

    The cottage was clean and had all the essentials. Compared to other places we have stayed in, the ‘welcome pack’ was minimal. Some more information would have helped eg about the recycling arrangement, instructions for using the log burner, a map of the village, etc. We found the DVD player was not plugged into the tv and no cable to do this so unable to watch the dvds we brought with us. We didn’t use the log burner, but if we had we’d have had to buy logs as only two logs supplied and no log store - if advertising a log burner we felt more than two logs should be supplied! Overall a lovely cottage - just a few frustrations.

For a more relaxed moment, head into the sitting room and light up the woodburning stove, which offers a gentle warmth and a sense of atmosphere, as you curl up on the plush sofa and flick through the channels of the Smart TV.

Head up the staircase to find the three equally as delightful bedrooms, each served by the sleek family bathroom, and a walk-in shower, so that you can choose how best to prepare for bed or a new day.

Here, you can take your pick between a spacious king-size double bedroom and two elegantly-appointed single bedrooms, designed with a bright colour palette and plenty of space to keep your things.

As you wake up each morning, look forward to sitting out in the garden with your cup of tea, whilst admiring the views of Garn Boduan with its Iron Age hillfort, which is awaiting to be explored later on.

During a balmy evening, come back to the garden to light up the barbecue and enjoy a spot of alfresco dining as the sun sets over the rolling hills.

Summer afternoons can be spent at the beach, popular with families or if you are feel brave, try a round of golf at Nefyn’s famous headland golf course, which is not for the faint hearted.

From the doorstep of the cottage, be sure to explore Garn Boduan or keen walkers can choose to travel to the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, home to a magnitude of hiking and outdoor opportunities.
