“The house is lovely, with character and plenty of space.”

There was everything needed for a family holiday,with lots of nice little touches.it was clean and well equipped. The games room was a hit with the kids, and the outside area,and bbq was really good on sunny days.The local pud was very friendly and served good food. We will certainly book again.

It is lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay at Gwynle and that the children enjoyed the games room. Great to hear you liked the local pub too. It is a great place to wander down to and enjoy a pint and good food. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

“The house was a beautiful home.”

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were a group of 8 and there was enough room for us all. It has everything you need. Great location lovely garden which we spent a lot of evenings in. We would definitely look at booking here again and would recommend to family and friends.

- Lisa, July 2024

Many thanks Lisa. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back. There really are so many places to explore and visit in lovely North Wales. Property Owner

“The property is beautiful, the owners have really thought about the little details, such as hot water bottles and blankets in all the bedrooms.”

The rooms are all large and comfortable and the games room was a great addition. The location is great too you are only minutes away from plenty of beautiful places to explore. I would strongly recommend the pub down the road for a meal. The only downside for us was the cleanliness of the property I spent the first evening cleaning as there were cobwebs and dust everywhere. The kitchen was filthy and clearly had not been cleaned at all. And we were very disappointed that the garden had not been done before we arrived so the grass was too long for the children to play out in. It is also worth noting that the garden is not enclosed so if you are taking a dog that is likely to escape you would need to keep them on a lead. All in all we had a fantastic week here despite the weather. If those little things were addressed it would be a 5 star review. Thank you very much for a great holiday.

- Sarah, June 2024

We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Gwynle and the area and can only apologise that the kitchen had not been cleaned. We are trying to ascertain why this had not been done and are asking our cleaning team what happened. We take great pride in our house and take every effort to make sure it is clean and perfect for our guests. Apologies too for the back lawn not having been cut. This was due to a key left in the garden door by the previous guests the day you arrived and the gardener not being able to gain access with his key that morning. We have altered the key system so this can no longer happen. Property Owner

“We very much enjoyed our stay at Gwynle, an absolutely charming house (despite the mixed weather).”

The house was amazing with all of it's lovely features, a welcome change from the very modern - the kitchen was also well thought out and the conservatory and games room, an added bonus which was very welcome for our three generation family holiday. So much attention to those details, made the house feel like home from home.

- Danuta, March 2024
Tom December 2023

“Perfect house for a larger group.”

More than enough space for 8 adults and 2 children. Owners communication was top tier. The house was decorated for Christmas for our arrival. Very clean throughout. Pub very close, beaches 5 minute drive. Would highly recommend. Thank you

- Tom, December 2023

So pleased to hear you all had a wonderful time at Gwynle. Many thanks Tom for your lovely comments. We look forward to welcoming you back one day. Property Owner

“Our 2nd stay in this lovely house.”

Many improvements made since our last visit which made it even better. A great base to explore local beaches and villages.

- Katie, October 2023

Lovely to hear you enjoyed your second stay. We shall be continuing with improvements as time goes on. We look forward to your visit, hopefully next year. Property Owner
Mary August 2023

“Excellent property with all the facilities for a great family holiday.”

Plenty of room for our daughters families and ourselves to enjoy ourselves, whether in garden, conservatory, games room or the house in general. Would highly recommend.

- Mary, August 2023
Sara July 2023

“This is a fantastic holiday house.”

So much attention to detail and thought from the owner. We loved the games room and the outside area. The kitchen is so well equipped and we used the picnic basket and flask for a picnic on the beach. The bed in the loft was very squeaky but my husband adjusted the bolts and sorted it out. Blinds in the loft room would be good as it was too light. We would have liked access to a hoover as with 2 dogs we needed to clean through the week! All in all a perfect stay in a fabulous family home from home, thank you!

- Sara, July 2023
Katie October 2022

“Lovely to have contact with the owner before arrival with lots of useful info.”

Beautiful, comfortable house in a great location. Has everything you need to have a relaxing holiday. Enjoyed sitting in the conservatory looking out over the garden making use of all the Prosecco glasses! Kids spent lots of time in the games room too

Heather August 2022

“We had a fabulous family holiday at Gwynle in August.”

The house is lovely, spacious, well equipped, and very much enjoyed by our family group (ranging from one year old to seventy-one years old!) It was also very conveniently located for us to explore the local beaches during the week of lovely weather that we enjoyed. Lesley was very helpful and lovely to liaise with. We would definitely recommend the property and hope to return.

- Heather, August 2022
Karen August 2022

“Had a lovely family holiday .”

Beautifully appointed house with fab kitchen and brilliant back garden. Ate out at the pub literally 2 min walk from the house excellent fresh local produce and used the butchers too . Things that might be helpful is an air maiden to air clothes for winter time .

Victoria August 2022

“Wonderful spacious family home- lots of things to do as a family and space for time to relax.”

Dog friendly beach 4 minutes drive (or 30 minutes walk).

- Victoria, August 2022
Elizabeth August 2022

“This was the best property we have ever stayed in.”

The freshness of the decor and quality of furnishings very good. As three generations of one family, we appreciated the seperate spaces in the house. We all felt very relaxed at the end of our stay. No arguments. Very well located for lots of beaches - the one at Abererch nearby, great for swimming and allowed dogs - we hope to return again and visit some of the other attractions in the area but as the weather was so good, the beaches won !!!

- Elizabeth, August 2022

Thank you so much for your kind words. We were so pleased to hear you all enjoyed being at Gwynle. We are also a three generation family when we visit and it does work. Hope you had some time to enjoy the new games table. We would love to visit you again, and if so we can offer a discount if you mention to Menai you are returning guests. Property Owner

The property

Resting in the little village of Chwilog, on the beautiful Llyn Peninsula, sits this wonderful period home, Gwynle.

Set over three floors and boasting a generous rear garden, this charming abode is a great choice for families and friends to come together and enjoy this exciting Welsh region.

The property is believed to date back to the late 1800’s when it was once occupied by a Captain, however it has now been maintained and modernised to offer a more contemporary living space yet still retains all the charm and character in keeping with age and period.

Spend your down time in the sitting room, appointed with two plush sofas where you can snuggle up in front of the woodburning stove, discussing the day’s events or browsing the TV for something to watch.

The contemporary kitchen/diner boasts a real wow factor; with a beautiful open-plan design and bespoke touches, including granite work surfaces and a multi-fuel burner.

The double-glazed conservatory offers a charming spot to sit and overlook the garden as the little ones happily roam the lawn.

The bedrooms at this Chwilog cottage are set over the first and second floor, offering two doubles and twin on the first-floor, served by a beautiful bathroom where you can enjoy a deep soak in the freestanding bath, while the second floor is smaller and offers a well-presented double bedroom with sitting area and a second bathroom with walk-in shower.

Enjoy summer evenings in the spacious garden, with a summer house and patio area with seating; it's perfect for hosting alfresco dining and entertaining long into the night.

Chwilog is a quaint little village and offers a welcoming pub where you can enjoy a night away from the kitchen, while the town of Cricceith is only a little further afield and offers a wealth of amenities, including its imposing 13th- century castle.

There are plenty of walks in the surrounding area, including the beautiful coastal path where you can admire uninterrupted sea views or visit St Cybi’s Well, a hidden holy well nestled in a secluded spot at the base of the Llyn Peninsula.

You are situated in a truly wonderful position, with easy access to the thriving coastline for a number of attractions, such as Pwllheli beach, ideal for those sunny afternoons playing beach games with your little ones or taking the opportunity to go for a swim in the clear waters.

With all this, plus the beautiful coastal town of Porthmadog nearby, there’s much to fill your holiday itinerary at Gwynle, whatever time of year.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
