    “We have just enjoyed a week at Yr Encil.”

    This is a beautiful cottage in an equally beautiful location. The private garden with its river at the bottom is a lovely place to sit. The cottage was cosy, clean and had everything that you would need for it to be a ‘home from home’. Esther and Peter have provided a perfect little get away. You don’t have to travel far from the cottage to enjoy the areas history and views. Thank you for letting us stay. We will be recommending to friends and family and would certainly enjoy a return ...

    Carys, thank you so much for your kind words. Before buying Yr Encil we had holidayed a lot in various different cottages so we felt we knew what worked. We are delighted that you had a good week and hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

The small village of Trefor is surrounded by sea and mountains, overlooking Caernarfon Bay, and enjoys a harbour with stone breakwater pier and sheltered sandy beach that the Wales Coastal Path runs past, or the more adventurous can enjoy a regular surf outside the breakwater. The village benefits from a convenience store, Post Office and licensed social club. Nearby, in the village of Llithfaen, are the Welsh Language and Heritage Centre and restaurant. The pretty coastal town of Nefyn lies 7.5 miles away, sitting atop sweeping cliffs, and is home to a fine, two-mile stretch of sandy beach, along with a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, and the award-winning golf club is popular with families and couples alike. Trefor is also within reach of the amenities of the popular towns of Pwllheli, Abersoch, Caernarfon, Portmeirion and Bangor. The coastline around this region is dotted with castles and coves, while fishing, sailing and watersports are all available. The start of the Snowdonia National Park is 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 in North Wales.
