    “We had a great weekend.”

    Fantastic location, quiet and peaceful. Lots of beaches nearby to explore with our dogs. Cabin (wooden cladded caravan) VERY small, bedroom and bathroom particularly cramped for 2 adults of average size. Double mattress has been placed on a smaller bed frame making it impossible to open the wardrobe doors and felt like sleeping on a jelly. Very difficult to manoeuvre around each side of the bed. Had to cut off some brambles to enable us to negotiate entrance door and laurel hedge badly in ...

    Fantastic location, quiet and peaceful. Lots of beaches nearby to explore with our dogs. Cabin (wooden cladded caravan) VERY small, bedroom and bathroom particularly cramped for 2 adults of average size. Double mattress has been placed on a smaller bed frame making it impossible to open the wardrobe doors and felt like sleeping on a jelly. Very difficult to manoeuvre around each side of the bed. Had to cut off some brambles to enable us to negotiate entrance door and laurel hedge badly in need of a trim. Overall inside was neat and tidy but in need of a bit of a polish. Some blinds were broken or missing completely. There was a BBQ but no utensils! Which didn’t stop us from BBQing, just had to improvise with kitchen cutlery (not ideal). No kitchen tea towels but other linen of good quality. We really enjoyed our short stay mainly due to the outdoor space, location and good weather but sadly we won’t be coming back. Compared with other similar properties in the area consider this to be very overpriced.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and I'm pleased that you had a great weekend. Thank you for all your constructive comments, & apologies that not everything was up to standard. I've already bought BBQ utensils (to replace some left to rust in the rain by previous guests). I'm sorry I didn't get them there in time for your visit. The lack of kitchen towels, overrown hedges has been noted - thank you. Caban Cwtch is indeed 'cozy'! I have tried to ensure that the description of this property is accurate. The cabin description summary does state the following: 'Note: This property is a 10ft x 28ft wooden-clad modern caravan'. I do agree that the layout of the main bedroom gives ittle room around the bed and will look at maybe replacing the wardrobe with a smaller one to give that little bit of extra space around the bed.

About the location

LLANAELHAEARN

Trefor 3 miles; Nefyn 6 miles; Caernarfon 14 miles.

The historic village of Llanaelaearn is nestled at the foot of the triple peaks of Yr Eifl. The area is rich in prehistory with evidence of Roman and medieval occupation. St Aelhaearn’s Church is a picturesque stone-built church that has its origins linked to St Beuno in the 6/7th century.
Just 2.8 miles away is the coastal village of Trevor which benefits from a convenience store and Post Office.
Trevor beach is only 3 miles away. Walk to your right for a long stretch of beach walking – parts pebbly, parts sandy. Walk to your left to join the Welsh Coastal Path. The harbour wall stretches for nearly 200 meters into the sea and is often used by local fisherman. This is a fantastic crabbing spot. The beach is dog friendly with free parking and toilets. An ice cream van usually visits during peak holiday times.
Nearby, in the village of Llithfaen, is the Welsh Language and Heritage Centre with a lovely cafe overlooking the Irish sea. There is a steep walk down to the pebbly beach which a favourite place for seals at the eastern end of the beach (bear left when you reach the beach.)
The pretty coastal town of Nefyn lies 7 miles away and sits atop sweeping cliffs. Nefyn Beach itself is something of a hidden gem, known for its clear blue waters along with stunning views of the bay, and the distant mountains. Nefyn has shops, pubs and restaurants. The beach is sandy and there are some good rock pools to be found at low tide towards the headland.
Llanaelhearn is also within reach of the amenities of the popular towns of Pwllheli, Caernarfon, Criccieth, Carnaerfon, Abersoch, Portmerion and Bangor. The coastline around this region is dotted with castles and coves, while fishing, sailing and water sports are all available. The boundary of the Snowdonia National Park is only 5 miles away, with its dramatic scenery and abundance of superb walks. With its proximity to such a wide range of destinations, this area makes a superb base for a break on the Llyn Peninsular.
