“A lovely cottage set in peaceful surroundings with a large conservatory that catches the sun all day.”

Good sized enclosed garden so very safe for children and dogs to run around in. The large kitchen was very well equipped with a good sized fridge and stand alone 3 drawer freezer, large bedroom and comfortable bed. Cosy evenings by the open fire. Short drive from some of the most beautiful beaches in Wales. Small supermarket in Aberdaron, 2.5 miles, stocking everything you require there is also a lovely bakery and coffee shop.

The owners are very helpful and friendly should you need them. It far exceeded our expectations. A perfect cottage in a perfect location.

“The cottage was cosy, well-equipped and comfortable - we were very happy there for our week.”

However, we did feel that the area near the back door needed tidying. The outside chairs were grubby: they needed a good scrub and some weeding was required too. It all looked a bit neglected! This didn’t spoil our stay (we have been coming to the area for over fifty years!) and we found the cottage to be a great location to visit all our favourite places. Thank you! Andy and Ros Taylor.

“Llyn Peninsula is an area of outstanding views - we went to Porth Awyr last year as well, and we and our bid dog are getting to know a lovely range of hill walks (not too steep!”

), in addition to the well-known coastal walks. More to come no doubt! The area is approaching Aberdaron, so is nearly at the end of the peninsula - you can see Bardey Island peeping through from the back garden. The cottage is good - especially if you enjoy a quiet, peaceful area, where the only likely ones to see are the local couple of farmers and their cows, sheeps, farm dogs - and an occasional friendly visit from the owner.

“A perfect little cottage which was what we were looking for, It was in a very quiet and peaceful location, and in easy reach of beaches and lots of walks to choose from, Also had no problem going to and from other places to visit.”

So if you want somewhere to chill out this is the place for you, I can recommend it.

“I am so sorry that I overlooked the review on this cottage.”

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. It was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed going to the surrounding areas and the weather was also kind.

“A cosy retreat”

This is a cosy little cottage in a beautifully quiet location. To give an idea of the quietness, the highest number of vehicles passing our door in one day was 4 (two of those was the postman)! We used it as a base for walking along the coastal path, exploring the peninsula and wider area. It was clean and tidy upon arrival, the key collection was straightforward. The cottage was equipped for 4 people (the max number that can stay). There was a dishwasher and washer/dryer which worked perfectly. For our comfort the double bed was far too soft, luckily as there was only three of us we could simply swap the sleeping arrangements. Aberdarron is a lovely little village nearby (3miles), Abersoch is a 'trendy' little village a little further away. We can highly recommend Dylan's in Cricceith. Part of the attraction of this cottage was that we could take our dog. We also thoroughly enjoyed stargazing at night as a bonus due to virtually no light pollution. We would certainly recommend this cottage for peace, quiet and relaxation.
