Jacki

Loved our stay at this beautiful barn conversion. The property was so clean and comfortable and very welcoming. Lovely little touches like the doggie items , the welcome basket and a great coffee machine. The shower was great too and we were lovely and cosy at all times. The views from the barn were amazing and there were plenty of dog walks on the doorstep. Our first time visiting this area and we will be back !

Michael

This is a delightful cottage, very comfy with everything you want for a stay. Nice view out of the patio doors. The hosts allowed me to take my dog in to their field through a gate at top of garden. Nice walks are to be found with help from the hosts.

Lesley

This little barn conversation was an absolute joy to have stayed in. Stacey and Alister have lovingly restored this property and thought about everything you would ever want or need while staying there. From the welcome hamper to the little things like doggie blankets and towels in case you forget to bring your own. The interior has been renovated to an extremely high standard. The bed was so comfortable and the bed lining a good quality. The location was so peaceful and quiet. Iâ??d read other reviews that said the entrance was difficult to negotiate we had no problem getting to the property or up the driveway you just have to be mindful you are in the country and the roads are narrow in places. The surrounding area and proximity to some lovely beaches just made it perfect for us and our two dogs to stay.

Ann

What a fabulous holiday cottage, one of the best we have stayed in. Beautifully thought out, well equipped, warm and cosy. The location is wonderful and so so quiet (heaven). Thank you Stacey and Alistair for sharing this little gem with us. We will see you next year!

Vanessa

Beautiful, quiet location with amazing views

Stephanie

This cottage is in a superb location, peaceful and beautiful. There are walks from the door plus many beaches locally. We thought the dog friendly garden was brilliant, It was secure and prevented two very inquisitive springer spaniels from getting onto the hillside. The information provided by the owners was very comprehensive. Could not fault the property at all

Phil

Brilliantly equipped cottage in beautiful quiet location. Sea views from lovely gardens which catch the evening sun - ideal relaxing place after a day on the beach or walking the coast. The bakery in Aberdaron is a must!

Michael

The cottage is a barn conversion adjoing owners property, the stone walls are a metre thick so No noise, it is extremley well equiped and such a wonderful place to stay, its a country road to it, because its in the country so drive careful to it, but it will be worth it.

Kristiana

Cottage us beautifully done snd decorated. Location and views are amazing! Cottage has all that's needed - parking, wifi, privacy, and secure garden (dog loved it!). Kitchen has all necessities including appliances and day to day items needed. Living area is cosy, TV has what's needed, fireplace is great and there are books and games available. Bedroom is a great size, bed comfortable and the bathroom is a great size too! Owners live next door and are lovely, so is their dog. Location of the cottage is great for walks, hiking, trips to towns and beaches! Everything is nearby. Would definitely recommend!

Nicola

The cottage and garden are absolutely lovely. A lot of thought and attention to detail have obviously gone into getting everything exactly right. We had an extremely relaxing stay and would love to come back.

Jane

The quality of the refurbishment of Yr Hen Ysgubor is beyond compare to any other property that i have stayed in. The owners have strived to cater for every possible need of their guests. The location provides an excellent stepping off point for people who like to walk and explore the fabulous Welsh mountain areas and beaches. Alternatively, the views from the rear garden would impress and occupy less active guests.

Lynn

A lovely, well presented and well equipped cottage with welcoming but unobtrusive owners.The views from the garden were good and a little further up the hill spectacular. The cottage provided an excellent base for our two weeks on the Llyn.

Margaret

A fantastic stay in a beautiful part of the world. This is a one in a million cottage. It is a true home from home. The most welcoming hosts. My husband and I definitely plan another holiday here as soon as possible. In one word, IDYLLIC

Sue

Dogs were not forgotten with treats and blankets for the sofa, spare leads and bowls in case you forget. Ideal base for exploring the Lyn Peninsula

Carolyn

This cottage is wonderful. It is really well-equipped and is comfortable and warm. The shower is brilliant and the bed is very comfy. The owners have really thought about every aspect needed to give their guests a truly wonderful stay. The log fire is very efficient. The TV and internet reception is brilliant also.The owners also left us a very thoughtful welcome pack. It is light and airy and is very private and so peaceful. This cottage is also perfect for your dog to stay as it has a very secure private garden.The views from this cottage are stunning and far reaching.

A superb barn conversion, everything is of the highest quality and fits perfectly to create the most perfect cosy get away. The views are breathtaking, particularly if you wander further up the hill.

Matt

Great place to stay - clean, modern and well furnished accommodation, warm fire burner and an excellent, dog friendly location for scenic walks, glorious and quiet beaches (in March anyway) and decent pubs. Host is very friendly and helpful with recommendations.

Nikki

We went for a long weekend in Feb - perfect location and extremely dog friendly for our dog. The cottage was very homely and had everything we needed The shower was amazing, we have been to a lot of cottages that are remote and the water heat and pressure have been poor - this was better than any hotel we have been too. Great views even when it was cloudy. The drive way is a little tight so take care until you are used to it. We have an estate car so needed some careful manoeuvring. Would definitely recommend for peace and quiet, great location for seeing all of the peninsula.

Edmund

A beautiful and well-equipped cottage, we had a great winter break here!

Kevin

An exceptionally lovely place to stay. Beautiful location. Had everything we needed on our winter holiday. It was particularly nice to just relax with a good book in front of the wood burner.

A lovely barn conversion, compact but very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Super location for visiting the area and walks from the door. The fully enclosed garden (with wonderful views) was a real bonus for our dog. Lovely hosts who were friendly and helpful.
