Area has dark sky's so you can sit in the hot tub or on the patio and watch shooting stars! Plenty of nature to enjoy including Seals in the harbour.

"We’ve just returned from another relaxing stay at this lovely cottage."
The cottage itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The cottage is in a lovely location with some great views of the mountains and just a short walk to the beach which is an ideal spot for a bit of crab fishing.
The football field and 5 aside astro just over the road were used daily by the children and the playground has been upgraded for any younger children.
The owner Iwan lives next door and is available if needed.
We loved our stay here and look forward to returning in the future.

"Llwyn Aethnen is the perfect holiday cottage."
It was beautifully prepared for our arrival and Iwan, the discreet owner next door, has thought of everything to make it comfortable. He made prompt contact with us at the beginning of our holiday and answered any questions we had during our stay. The kitchen is very well equipped. All the rooms are spacious and very tastefully furnished. When the weather is wet, it is a lovely place to relax, read or watch TV. In better weather, the hot tub is an additional treat, in a little, secluded, private garden at the back of the house. This historic property is full of character and nestles in a fascinating village, with dramatic mountain scenery all around. It is an excellent base for local walks, including those accessible on foot from the front door. Bert’s Kitchen Garden is a delightfully quirky local eatery for an evening out and there is a useful convenience store, in the village. Anglesey, Snowdonia and Conwy are in easy reach by car and there are many beautiful day walks on the Llyn Peninsula itself where the scenery is sensational and the walking trails uncrowded. An excellent collection of maps and walking books in the cottage help you plan your days out. A fantastic holiday base - we can’t wait to go back! Thank-you, Iwan!

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Llwyn Aethnen."
It is a very well appointed and immaculate cottage. I have never seen so many nice towels in a rental property! It is in a very good spot, with a beach a few minutes walk away (although the road to it is quite steep), coastal walks just beyond the beach and a good road to get to other spots on the Llyn peninsula.

"Gorgeous cottage in an incredible location."
The beautiful cottage was so cosy & well kept, and stocked plentifully with all the necessary amenities, alongside a bunch of extras for the kids (lots of games, toys, spare bedding!)
We really appreciated having so many towels clean and ready around the house, as well as a good set up for washing whilst there
Brilliant location with easy access to so many of north wales beauty spots - would love to return once our little ones are older and capable of doing some proper walks too
Fantastic hosts & a wonderful holiday!

"We had a fabulous family weekend at the cottage."
It is perfectly placed for a short break, allowing easy access to a range of activities/pastimes around the Lleyn Peninsula. We stopped on the way there, to visit Parc Glynllifon (about 2 miles from the property) with nice walks around the grounds. The property itself was spotlessly clean, well equipped and spacious. The hot tub was fabulous and again, spotlessly clean. Iwan was there to greet us and gave us clear and helpful information. The only thing that affected me (and probably would not be a problem for others) was that the bed was very soft - too soft for my back! But that did not spoil our break. It was a delight to stay there. Thank you, Iwan

"Absolutely fantastic property."
We were greeted by the owner and showed around the property. The welcome pack was very welcome after a long journey. The property was lovely and well maintained. Loved the fact that you had the old part and then a newer part of the property. For me the large bed was extremely soft and I couldn’t sleep in it but the smaller one was fine. The downstairs shower was amazing (never used the upstairs so can’t comment). The hot tub was extremely clean and obviously looked after very well. Our only criticism was the cleaner turned up at 9.20am and sat in her car waiting for us to leave which made us feel very uncomfortable so we left earlier than the 10.00 departure time. Would have definitely booked this property again but noticed it is up for sale which is such a shame. A stunning property to be extremely proud of. Despite the weather an extremely relaxing week

"We really enjoyed our stay at Llwyn Aethnen."
The property is tastefully decorated and accessorised and feels really homely. The beds and sofas are very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and appliances are easy to use. The views in the immediate vicinity of the property are beautiful. A walk to to the stoney beach or through the village will give views across the peninsula or of the mountains, no matter what the weather they are breathtaking. You will ideally need a car if you stay here, to be able to explore further afield, but there is also a regular bus service to nearby towns like Pwllheli and Caernarfon. The hot tub is a real treat, it was very clean and warm, the perfect addition to relax after a busy day or something to do if you just fancied staying in. We really enjoyed our stay and would also recommend visits to Pwllheli, Criccieth, Betswy Coed, Zip World, Greenwood Family Park and Black Rock Sands Beach. Thank you for having us.

We were left a welcome pack too!
This was the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed at. There was an endless supply of clean towels and an abundance of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. The televisions had you tube and Netflix, which was great for our little 17th that granddaughter!
There were stair gates, highchair, cot and fire guard, all spotlessly clean, as was the whole house. To be critical if feel it was missing an information folder, not about places to visit as there was loads of information, but about using the appliances, Wi-Fi etc. l must stress all of this information was at the property but not in one central place. Finally a visitors book, this is a wonderful cottage and facilities, celebrate this. I would advise anybody to visit this beautiful part of Wales and a fantastic place to stay. We will be back!

The log burner and hot tub were a real highlight. The house was generally clean and tidy and had most things that were needed.

It would also be nice to have some milk/tea/coffee after travelling such a long way, even if just to get you through the first night until you get a chance to pop to the shop.
