Description
This three-bedroom sea-side cottage, 27 Llwyn Gwalch Estate, is tucked away down a no-through road in the coastal community of Morfa Nefyn in the stunning Llyn Peninsula. The cottage is perfectly positioned, being one of only two cottages on the road with direct access through he garden to the beach road, with just a five minute walk to the stunning sands and calm clear waters of National Trust owned Porthdinllaen Beach. This spacious and comfortable home has an enclosed and private garden, open fire, a well stocked kitchen, and adaptable sleeping options. The cottage is perfect for all seasons, in summer months, the private south facing garden gets the sun all day, relax on one of the sun loungers on the terrace or dine alfresco on the large garden table that seats six. In cooler months relax in front of the roaring real fire, turn on the smart TV, or read one of the books that line the shelves in the sitting room, perfect for a cosy night in. Three roomy bedrooms, including a king-size and two twins, are located upstairs; a light and airy bathroom serves each of the bedrooms, two of which afford a sea-view and one a mountain view. There are various options to eat and drink within a few minutes walk of the cottage; the Cliffs pub on Beach Road offers great food, a range of artisan gins, and amazing sea-views Caffi Porthdinllaen on Golf Road serves fresh local food with amazing pizza, ice-cream and coffee and of course there is the famous Ty Coch pub, which sits on the beach itself and was voted 3rd best beach bar in the world for its incredible beach and mountain views, the village is also very well served by a well-stocked Supermarket, garage and Fish & Chip shop amongst its options. Morfa Nefyn is home to Nefyn Golf Club, one of the most spectacular cliff-top links courses in the UK, where every hole affords a sea-view, aside from the plentiful beaches in the area there are numerous hiking, biking, and walking routes close by, as are the quiet gardens of St. Cybi's Well. Nefyn, a nearby seaside community which can be reached on foot over the cliff path, also has a golden stretch of sand where you may unwind before visiting the Forwrol Lln Maritime Museum for a guided tour. Morfa Nefyn is very well positioned for accessing the popular family holiday spot Abersoch with its golden sands, many water-sports options and plentiful dining and shopping opportunities Plas Heli is yet another bustling location that frequently hosts sailing competitions and has on-site amenities.

What guests are saying
The property had everything we needed and we enjoyed our stay.
The area is lovely, good for walking and decent bus service if you don’t want to drive everywhere. However, the house did feel quite cluttered and there are parts of the property in need of a bit of TLC.
The property is in an excellent location, with a fabulous sandy beach only around five minutes’ walk from the back garden.
At low tide, it is possible to walk along the beach to the famous Ty Coch Inn, while The Cliffs pub, which served excellent food, is even closer. The secure garden is particularly suitable for dogs, and there are plenty of lovely walks nearby. The house itself was generally clean, comfortable and well equipped. It is clearly also used as a family holiday home, so there is quite a lot of personal clutter. This was not a major problem, although the kitchen cupboards would benefit from a thorough sort-out, as their contents were rather haphazardly arranged. Unfortunately, our arrival was seriously let down by an inadequate changeover. The main bed had been stripped after the previous guests, but had not been remade, and no fresh bedlinen had been left anywhere accessible. Fortunately, we had brought our own bedding. When making the bed, we discovered that the mattress had a pronounced dip because the bed slats had been incorrectly positioned, leaving very large gaps. I had to move the bed, reposition the slats and turn the mattress before we could use it. In doing so, we also found a very unpleasant accumulation of dust beneath and behind the bed. Towels and a bathmat were also missing. We contacted Menai Cottages, who were very apologetic and subsequently delivered a bathmat. However, no further gesture or recompense was offered, despite the inconvenience and the work required to make the main bedroom usable. This could be an excellent holiday property and, once the initial problems were resolved, we enjoyed our stay. We would consider returning if the changeover arrangements and bed were properly addressed. However, the problems on arrival were significant and prevented us from awarding the four-star rating that the house and its superb location might otherwise deserve.
Llwyn Gwalch is a lovely, comfortable and beautifully appointed cottage which provides a perfect base for exploring this amazing area.
You really do feel that you’re staying in a home from home. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. However, there are a few health and safety aspects. The windows were all locked with no keys ( no fresh air/ emergency exit) , the fire extinguisher was 13 years old, the steps at the back of the property were very unsafe ( particularly for older visitors) and there was no visible PAT testing on electrical items. We had to put the bins out which were absolutely full so very heavy, not ideal for older visitors. I don’t want to dwell on the negatives because the positives totally outweighed them and we would be more than thrilled to return and would like to highly recommend Llwyn Gwalch.
