“From the outside the cottage looks well maintained and inviting.”

The location is fantastic with wonderful views. Inside the cottage needs updating the place needs cleaning the kettle did not come to boiling point for drinks the shower was blocked and did not drain after use ,so this made it very hard for 6 adults to get ready in the morning for a wedding we were attending. Luckily the weather was fabulous so that we didn't have to spend anymore time than was necessary inside.

“Fabulous property in a prime location.”

Warm, comfortable, very well equipped and with spacious rooms. Extremely convenient for Abersoch facilities yet was silent at night. Excellent views from the upstairs windows across the harbour. Thank you Ffion for another wonderful family holiday on the Llyn.

“The side of the cottage had a beautiful sun trap space where a rather old, large green picnic table & chairs were sited ( brilliant to use with the excellent BBQ ) but unfortunately on arrival one leg of the table was wonky!”

so unusuable & the whole set needs replacing . The front garden space across the road was a really pleasant area with beautiful views of the coast.

“This is a super property but what really sets it apart is the quality of service from the owners.”

Cleanliness in a COVID world was 100%. An unavoidable problem with the TV was sorted out and a new TV arrived within 24 hours despite me saying that it wasn't a problem. A really fabulous base.

“We stayed at this property 5years ago so knew what to expect.”

We were slightly disappointed the soft furnishings/sofas/chairs and mattresses hadn’t been updated though. The cottage feels dark and sometimes damp, but the heating is efficient. It was a shame there wasn’t Wi-Fi as that would of help when researching the internet for walk routes etc.

“The pictures of the garden leading to the beach were a little misleading - it didn’t make it clear that the garden was over the road -and the few small steps shown on the picture we’re steps within the garden and the actual steps down to the beach were steep and overgrown.”

The bit of beach they led to also wasn’t really the beach as it was rocky and cut off from ge beach by the tide. I suspect this is different at different times of year - but such a feature is made of the way that the beach is on the garden that I think that this should also be made clear. The house itself was nice. The kitchen was well equipped. It would have been nice to have a guest info book - don’t think I have eve stayed anywhere without one before!

“We loved staying in Glan Y Don.”

The beach is really near and very safe for children.The shops are just a stroll away.

“Could have done with an hairdryer.”

WiFi would have been a help other than that everything was fantastic.

“A wonderful few days in this gorgeous traditional holiday cottage, perfectly situated a minutes walk from the shops and cafes of Abersoch, with far reaching views of the bay from the front bedrooms.”

The only improvements I could suggest would be the addition of Wifi, although I imagine some people would not mind getting away from that for a change, and also a good heavy trim of the hedges in the garden, to reveal the lovely view obscured behind them.

- David, June 2018

“Very accurate details of holiday cottage.”

Excellent communication from booking to arriving at the cottage. Have used Sykes before and would always recommend using them for great choice, trouble free booking in quality accommodation.

- Jo, October 2017
Michael May 2017

“Spacious cottage in fantastic setting in Abersoch.”

Only comment from other guests was that wifi would have been the icing on the cake, even if at a premium.

- Michael, May 2017
Kelvin September 2016

“Enjoyed the cottage, only criticism was that both toilets seats were loose.”

Would consider booking again though.

“Cottage in an ideal situation for our needs.”

Within five minutes walk of the beach and yacht club along a public footpath. Great views from the front bedroom windows. Cottage very well equipped. Very spacious living rooms. Shops and restaurants literally just around the corner.

The attractive harbour village of Abersoch is situated on the Llyn Peninsula in a region of Wales renowned for its outstanding scenery and varied walking. The village, situated between two glorious bays, is one of the most popular sailing venues in North Wales and important sailing regattas are held there throughout the summer months. Numerous shops cater for the tourist as well as pubs, restaurants and cafes. There are also opportunities for golfers as there is a course just outside the village and horse riding facilities are also available nearby. Watersports enthusiasts are also well catered for, particularly windsurfing, water skiing and dinghy sailing, not to mention renowned surfing at Port Neigwl (Hell’s Mouth). The long, sandy Abersoch Main Beach is probably the most popular beach in the area. There is a wonderful selection of beaches in the surrounding area of the Llyn Peninsula, including the beautiful and often quiet Porth Ceriad, with it's high cliffs, and sandy Porth Oer ("Whistling Sands"). Most of the coastline is owned by the National Trust and there are many remote bays, sandy beaches and cliffs, as well as wildlife havens like Bardsey Island to explore.
