“Lovely holiday home, accurately portrayed in the photos and description, apart from the description saying there is a conservatory.”

...we hunted, but didn't find it!! A very peaceful place, with only the sound of the stream and birds. The beach at Aberdaron is lovely. Local facilities are good.

“The cottage was beautiful.”

even if it needed a bit more time on the cleanliness there were spiders in cobwebs in the kitchen and the skirting boards could have been cleaned a little better. There is possibly a wasps nest in the upstairs rooms as we counted 20 around the window this needs checking before any children stay there. The property although mainly flat on the ground floor is definitely NOT disabled friendly as the living room has 2 steps from the hall and 2 steps from the kitchen anyone with walking issues would not be able to access this room as the steps are quite high The bedrooms all had ensuite and were a really good size and bedding towels etc were provided as was coffee and milk the only thing I purchased was washing up liquid as it seemed a waste using the dishwasher. the owner provided lots of information which was most welcome the only thing lacking was instructions for the wood burner Not everyone has one of these and I had no idea where to start I would recommend taking shopping with you as the only store we found was a Spar in Aberdaron and it was very expensive. I have been to Aberdaron several times over the last 30 years and love the area and walks on the beach would I go again probably not the property was too big for just the 2 of us but bring the family and I am sure you will love the cottage and the surrounding area.

“Had a Fabulous Holiday.”

Wonderful spot with so many Beaches and Walks close at hand. House was lovely, very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Saw a Buzzard in the garden and Badgers a 15 minute walk from the house.

- Tracey, June 2024
Jennifer June 2024

“Beautiful House in a lovely tranquil spot, very clean and well equipped, short drive to beach and Aberdaron village.”

Would highly recommend

Ann June 2024

“An attractive, spacious and comfortable cottage in an idyllic location.”

Very rural and surrounded by glorious countryside yet within easy distance of Aberdaron even on foot. On sunny evenings it was a pleasure to sit in the private and sheltered garden. Good parking but a narrow and tricky entrance into and out of the driveway. Regrettably a few negatives. The kitchen utensils were somewhat lacking, no sieve that I could find, a very old and barely functioning tin opener and saucepans in need of a good wash before use. The laundry rack was broken and would not stay up and the cupboards were very sticky. Nevertheless we had a wonderful holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely revisit the Llin Peninsula and stay at Glan Felin.

“Absolutely lovely accommodation.”

Our family had a lovely time. Beds very comfortable. Decking area lovely to listen and watch the birds and squirrels feeding. Lovely break had by all.

Deborah March 2024

“Outstanding property!”

Clean, comfortable, perfect location. Short drive to many of Wales' beautiful beaches. Everything you really need to enjoy a relaxing break away. The log burner made it for us. Getting cosy in the evenings with a glass of wine or beer. We will definitely be booking again.

- Deborah, March 2024

“Deceptively spacious and beautifully maintained holiday cottage on the Llyn Peninsula within a mile of the sea.”

Lovely patio overlooking a stream. Excellent.

- John, February 2024
Louise November 2023

“The cottage was very clean and comfortable, the welcome pack was much appreciated.”

Evenings were spent in front of the fire listening to the wind and rain, making it even more cosy. Lots of coastal walks and home cooking.

- Louise, November 2023
Joanne August 2023

“Beautiful cottage, perfectly appointed in a quiet, rural spot but close enough to amenities.”

Cottage was very clean and well equipped, had the best nights sleep in a long time owing to the stillness and lack of light pollution. Would highly recommend!

- Joanne, August 2023
Catherine July 2023

“Glam Felin is a lovely clean property with good quality furniture, appliances and equipment.”

The beds are really comfortable with good quality bedding and the bedrooms have good sized en-suites. Mrs. Fish the owner was very friendly and accommodating as nothing was too much trouble. We needed to contact her on a couple of occasions as the battery for the smoke alarm in the hall needed replacing and the internet went down ( our fault as we had, unknowingly, switched it off at the socket).She promptly came out and sorted them both out for us quite happily.

Siobhan July 2023

“We have just returned from a weeks holiday at this cottage .”

We LOVED it ! I also rent a cottage myself so was able to look at every thing with a slight professional eye .. and I can confirm Mair has thought of everything you may need during your stay … Spotless , comfortable , relaxing , spacious , fully equipped , comfortable beds , I could go on .. so thank you we will definately be back .. The Lyn peninsula is magical and we were genuinely sad to leave !

Just returned from our weeks stay have to say we wish we were there for another week the cottage is beautiful and has everything you need There was a bbq in the laundry room which we used several times and a few children toys/books which my granddaughter enjoyed playing with Had our shopping delivered on the 1st night which saved you the hassle of having to take it all with you spent every night sat on the veranda watching the stars with a glass of wine sheer bliss Would I recommend definitely Would i return most definitely and for two weeks next time

- Jayne, June 2023
Simon June 2023

“We had an amazing stay and would likely look to book again in the future.”

Small issue with the kitchen tap constantly running but other than that we were very happy with the accommodation. In general though we were happy with the cleanliness of the property.

Nicola October 2022

“Three generations had a lovely stay at Glan Felin and our dog adored swimming in the river.”

The main living room with wood burner is a very impressive but comfortable space & the kitchen well equipped. A small welcome pack of biscuits, milk with tea, coffee & sugar was most thoughtful. Careful of the decking when wet as very slippy. A few lightbulbs not present or working, a bit more dusting of cobwebs and the en-suite in the end double was very damp with a faulty loo… kept filling ! But these are only minor issues that can easily be addressed. Highly recommended !

- Nicola, October 2022
Jeanette October 2022

“Great cottage, perfect for two couples.”

Ideally situated for walking the section of the Llyn from Porth Coleman to Abersoch. As mentioned the cottage is remote, but we enjoyed that, no noise and lovely starry skies! Very well equipped and comfortable.

- Jeanette, October 2022
Maxine July 2022

“A lovely spacious cottage, well equipped for a stay away from home.”

The two double bedrooms are a great size and the beds are extremely comfortable. The two upstairs bedrooms are really only suitable for children due to the reduced headroom - our two 16 year olds are over 6ft so struggled a bit. The house is brilliantly located for walking and we loved exploring more of the fabulous headland, walking to whistling sands or into Aberdaron. This is the most beautiful, scenic area.

- Maxine, July 2022
Sharon July 2022

“Aberdaron is a scenic area of North Wales, with golden beaches great eateries and friendly atmosphere.”

The cottage is in an idea location for visiting all the attraction on the Llyn Peninsula. We found the host very friendly and helpful.The cottage is spacious, clean and surround by fields of sheep. The ensuite bedrooms downstairs were great and the attic rooms suited the children .There is a large bright kitchen and relaxing living room. Had a great stay.

- Sharon, July 2022
Catherine July 2022

“Great property-very quiet and spotless thank you”

- Catherine, July 2022
Bernie May 2022

“A lovely, tranquil place and just what we expected.”

The towel rail in one bathroom was so high my wife couldn’t reach it! The shower in the main bathroom could do with a caddy to put soap, shampoo etc. I had to clean out the plug hole to both showers as they were blocked.

- Bernie, May 2022
Danuta April 2022

“The whole family really enjoyed our much awaited & needed holiday at Glan Felin & we would definitely like to return sometime.”

The experience of staying in a remote cottage with stream at bottom of garden was amazing for the grandchildren & adults alike, in such a tranquil setting .... so relaxing. All the rooms downstairs were lovely & spacious for all of us, plus a small dog, & the kitchen/diner was well equipped kitchen too. As mentioned in previous reviews the 2 upstairs single bedrooms have low sloping ceilings, however this was not an issue for our grandchildren.

- Danuta, April 2022
Gillian March 2022

“We were really happy with Glan Felin as it was well equipped and furnished.”

It is not that easy to walk to Aberdaron as the roads are narrow so a car is necessary. The garden and surroundings were lovely and it was a peaceful location for a relaxing holiday.

- Gillian, March 2022
Janice March 2022

“Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful part of the world amenities were first class such a relaxing holiday.”

We hope to be able to go back again.

- Janice, March 2022
Carl August 2021

“Everything clean, house large enough for 6 but 4 adults and two kids, upstairs beds/ceiling height only for kids really.”

Beds etc a little hard and basic. Sitting room very comfy. Adequate Crockery pots and pans etc, We had a problem with no hot water and the owners were very quick to respond and on a bank holiday too. Feel that the description should mention lack of phone signal, although to some that maybe a godsend. Internet extremely slow if there at all. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a complete get away from 21st century living.

“Lovely cottage in beautiful setting with lovely natural garden for wildlife.”

Very peaceful location and everything you need provided for. Would love to return again in the future.

Caroline April 2021

“Lovely holiday at Glan Felin.”

The cottage is about 1.5 miles north of Aberdaron down some narrow roads. It is extremely quite and peaceful apart from the sounds of nature. The area below the decking by the stream has been allowed to grow naturally with primroses and white bluebells but also a bit overgrown. Maybe this is deliberate but it could be nicer. The decking would be nice with some plants. It was a bit stark. However it's an ideal place to sit and watch the birds on the feeders. The cottage was well equipped and the heating was good with plenty of hot water. If you are travelling with a pet the garden is not enclosed apart from the decking area.

- Caroline, April 2021
Anthony April 2021

“Glan Felin is a beautiful, cosy little home that makes visiting the West coast of North Wales really enjoyable.”

The garden is particularly tranquil with a small stream and bird feeders left out - we spotted more birds varieties than we could count. The log burner was a cosy addition and the loft conversion made exciting little bedrooms for the children. We will be coming back!

- Anthony, April 2021
Michael October 2020

“FABULOUS COTTAGE IN A REMOTE BUT TRANQUIL POSITION.”

REALL ENJOYED THE STAY BUT NEVER DID FIND THE CONSERVATORY ;)

- Michael, October 2020
Louise September 2020

“Beautiful house in fantastic condition.”

The decking terrace was perfect for dining outside with the sound of the babbling stream in the background. Perhaps a little isolated down long country lanes but perfect a quiet vacation.

- Louise, September 2020
Elizabeth July 2020

“We had a brilliant week at Glan Felin.”

Peaceful and so pleasant , especially the garden and river . Perfect after months of isolation . Many thanks

- Christine, October 2019
Susan September 2019

“Flowery language used in description could have led us to believe that the property was more luxurious than it was had we not seen through it!”

However it was clean and we had everything we needed for our stay. It took us a while to find the property when we arrived in Aberdaron, don’t think we were given any directions. The sat nav only took us to the postcode so were travelling around narrow lanes and had to ask at a house! We have been holidaying in self catering properties for over 40 years now and recently most places provide some sort of welcome pack. (A bottle of milk in the fridge at least. ) Maybe something the owners could possibly consider in the future? The bed was extremely comfortable but the sofas were not. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was clean, plenty of cutlery and crockery, although the cooker getting a little tired. Don’t mean to sound negative, we had a great holiday and hope to visit the area again next year. We didn’t need to contact the owners but knew they were on hand should we have needed to.

- Susan, September 2019
Maggie September 2019

“Basics only.”

No added conforts. No chair in bedroom or dressing table. Information on local activity out of date. Very little games. Hard to work out the Hob as on and off signs missing. On a positive note beautiful area Beds comfortable

- Maggie, September 2019
Rachel August 2019

“We had a great week in this lovely house.”

The main comment is that the upstairs bedrooms have very low ceilings, so I think it is important to express that headroom is limited. I don't remember this being in the information.

- Rachel, August 2019
Val July 2019

“The cottage is lovely and very spacious.”

Plenty of room for me, my husband, our daughter and her partner and six month old son; and we didn't even use the upstairs two bedrooms! The kitchen is massive and very well appointed with a huge fridge/freezer and all the facilities you would expect for a party of our size. The garden was very relaxing and a perfect sun trap; the stream is a wonderful bonus. The location is excellent for Aberdaron and the south of the Llyn Peninsula.

- Val, July 2019
Susan June 2019

“We enjoyed our stay at Glan Felin - 3 adults and one small dog.”

We had a week of sunshine so enjoyed some picnic lunches in the garden and in the evenings we made good use of the TV/DVD/Netflix. It is a comfortable and roomy facility downstairs with two large ground floor double and en suite bedrooms. The bedrooms upstairs are geared more towards children with relatively low ceilings and quite steep stairs up to the rooms so ideal family accommodation. There is good wifi access but we had to go outside for a phone signal. The house is along a long, narrow lane but it is only a few miles from beautiful Aberdaron where there are lovely beaches and coastal walks and a couple of dog friendly pubs, cafes, a bakery with cafe, some tourist shops and a spar (closes at 5pm). It was a good base for exploring the area and there is lots of lovely scenery to enjoy. Going in June was great as the beaches were fairly quiet despite the warm weather.

- Susan, June 2019
Barbara May 2019

“The cottage was lovely, warm and spacious.”

It was very peaceful. Facilities were probably the best we've had. Garden with stream was very pretty and nice suntrap. Aberdaron was very small but pretty, nice walks and lovely bakery and chip shop. We had a lovely week with the weather being nicer most days than back home!

- Barbara, May 2019
Steve March 2019

“Peaceful location in a beautiful countryside setting.”

- Steve, March 2019
Alun March 2019

“We enjoyed our stay at Glan Felin.”

The property was very comfortable and well-equipped. The owners were very helpful when we contacted them shortly after our arrival regarding a problem with the television. This was quickly rectified (Freeview needed re-tuning because, for some unknown reason, neither BBC1 nor BBC2 were available when we got there) With regards to the listing - it is stated that the property is IN Aberdaron. I think it would be fairer to say it was NEAR Aberdaron - it is in a rural/semi-rural location and was a good 15-20 minute walk to the centre of the village. That said, I would happily recommend Glan Felin to family and friends.

- Alun, March 2019

Susan May 2018

“Wonderful cottage in a lovely setting.”

Very clean, a well equipped kitchen, light and airy rooms. We really enjoyed the garden with the stream and all the lovely spring flowers. A very short drive to the beaches at Aberdaron and Whistling Sands or a 20 min walk which we did most days. Definitely stay there again.

- Susan, May 2018
Nina April 2018

“Have just returned from a lovely relaxing week with my husband and two friends.”

14th to 21st April 18. The cottage exceeded expectations, great sitting out areas out back in the sunshine, with the sound of stream at the bottom of the garden so peaceful! Perfect place to unwind! We had a slight problem finding the cottage, not down to location, just our sat nav, phoned Mair who gave us great directions then called us back and directed us all the way to the cottage. Not many people would have done that and we cannot thank her enough.

- Nina, April 2018
Lorraine March 2018

“Beautiful cottage in lovely quiet location.”

Excellent facilities and cleanliness. The wood-burning fire was particularly welcome on a cold evening. The first floor rooms are very small with little headroom so ideal for children but challenging for adults and the adjacent toilet has a wobbly seat! We would have mentioned this to the owners but didn't see them and had no phone signal! However the rest of the property is wonderful : Spacious, beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated. Thank you for a lovely holiday
