Sarn is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), sandwiched between the rugged north coast and the sheltered south coast, with rolling green hills that paint a picture-postcard of wide-open spaces and spectacular vistas. The property is also ideal for golfing trips, as it is only a short drive from several excellent golf courses in Porthdinllaen, Abersoch, and Pwllheli.

The nearby town of Pwllheli is a short drive away, where you can stock up on groceries, take a stroll around the Hafan Pwllheli Marina, where you can watch sailing events via Plas Heli, or simply relax on its beaches before boarding the town's train to explore the surrounding area.

What guests are saying
We (8 adults) had a very enjoyable stay in Mill House, which was amply big enough to accommodate us all without ever feeling cramped.
The kitchen is very well equipped and the beds were all comfortable. It was an excellent location for exploring the peninsula. The stone walls meant that the house never felt too warm, even in the middle of this summer's heatwaves. One tip - if you like a good sized bath towel, bring your own - otherwise, we had no complaints - thank you for a lovely stay!
Lovely property.
Perfect for large groups. Great location for exploring the Llyn peninsula.
I've given this a five star rating even though in some areas a four star is more appropriate: that's because this property represented great value for the sheer space on offer for larger groups, and does so while offering the atmosphere of an traditional house of considerable vintage.
The really important things- beds, showers - vary but all work well enough for most people. A couple of suggestions: if you have mobility issues, the absence of friction mats in the showers means you might want to bring these with you. This is a regrettably common issue, which is why I don't mark Mill House down because of it, but perhaps Sykes might want to suggest to owners that these cheap but important safety items be part of basic spec for all cottages. Secondly, chairs in bedrooms when space permits: again these are really useful for older guests. Notwithstanding the above Mill House proved a comfortable and well situated base for exploring the peninsula, and if I again had a need for a property with four bathrooms (the reason why this party of four rented a cottage for ten!), I would not hesitate to return.
