About this property

PEN Y BONT, family friendly, character holiday cottage in Pontllyfni

Beautifully refurbished barn on the the Llyn Peninsula. Wifi. Flatscreen TV & DVD. Woodburning stove. 7.7 miles to Caernarfon.

I visit many refurbished holiday cottages and barns, and this is one of the nicest I have seen for a long time! Pen y Bont lies in the most idyllic setting, south of Caernarfon, with pastureland gently giving way to the hills behind. You can hear the Afon Llyfni singing its way down to the sea, which you can see from the front of the house. This has everything that you come on holiday for!

"If a guest writes 'I have just booked for next year' you know the house is just right. Of all the refurbished barns I have visited this is one of the nicest I have seen for ages."

This pretty holiday cottage has been beautifully refurbished, and enormous care has been taken to retain its character. The inglenook fireplace has the original bread oven, and there are oak lintels above the windows, little nooks and crannies, and the odd exposed stone here and there to remind you of the history of this former farmhouse.

Pen y Bont is close to lovely beaches and coves. Pontllyfni is the nearest beach, and it is sandy when the tide is out. The Llyn Peninsula has wonderful walks on the coastal path. You'll find good food at the Harp in Llandwrog which is close by, and the garage in nearby Clynnog Fawr has a small shop.

Amenities: Wifi, flatscreen TV & DVD player, woodburning stove, initial supply of kindling and logs, pool table, central heating, fridge, freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, stair gate, highchair, travel (cot), garden, garden furniture, off road parking. Bed linen and towels provided, 7.7 miles to Caernarfon for amenities. Note: Please note we kindly ask that you do not charge your electric cars at this property.

Town: Set en route between Caernarfon and the gateway to the Llyn Peninsula. There are mnay walking trails locally and the Nantlle Valley is a short distance away. Dinas Dinalle beach and Aberdesach are a short drive away, with Caernarfon is about a fifteen minute drive away with the dlights of the Llyn, such as Abersoch and Aberdaron approx thirty minutes away.

Lovely property in a fabulous part of North Wales. I felt that the photos don't do the place justice, it's a lovingly restored formerly derelict cottage, loads of space. New on VRBO but the visitors book is full of comments from really happy visitors. Now also including ours.
