Y Big

We had the most wonderfully relaxing stay at this beautifully equipped cottage.

The views were absolutely stunning — the kind you find yourself staring at for ages — and the whole place had such a peaceful atmosphere that we instantly felt at home. We honestly wished we’d booked for longer, and only afterwards discovered we could have stayed an extra night. We’ll definitely be back. One of our favourite parts was the cosy snug, perfect for settling in to watch the England match (despite the result — though they did win that one). It made the evening feel extra special. Most importantly, I want to mention Liz, the owner. She was incredibly kind and helpful. I had accidentally left a personal item behind, and she went out of her way to make sure it was safely returned to me, sending it by recorded delivery without any fuss. Nothing was too much trouble, and her thoughtfulness really added to the whole experience. A beautiful cottage, stunning views, and exceptional hospitality — highly recommended.

We had a lovely stay at Y Big cottage, Home from home very clean comfortable and very quiet.

Overall we were very happy and will definitely return again for another stay. We had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners Liz it was lovely to meet her. See you again soon.

YBig gave us a lovely holiday, felt like a real getaway, set in a tranquil and relaxing location with a glorious view and with all amenities nearby.

Liz & Dick were friendly and welcoming hosts. A great week all round.

Perfect location so peaceful and only a short distance from the beach , pub, chip shop etc , the house is super comfy and has everything you need and more, lovely helpful owners, we didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return

We really enjoyed our stay.

Y Big is spacious, warm, comfortable and had everything we needed for our time there. It's lovely to sit in the sunshine in the conservatory with such a great view. Beds are comfy, great shower/wet room and it was really handy having the additional ensuite loo. Location is great for accessing the whole of the beautiful Llyn Peninsula.

A quiet rural location and only a short drive from several sandy beaches.

A great house to relax in with a great country view from the conservatory or in better weather from the garden. Would definitely recommend and would hope to visit again. A good location to practice Welsh as it is widely spoken.

Lovely spot well into the countryside with beautiful views.

Sitting in conservatory was a joy. Good accommodation all round. Loved the barabrith.

A perfect rural location in which one can relax and unwind with all the creature comforts on the doorstep and within the lovely cottage!

Had a pleasant stay nice location, everything we needed.

A lovely cottage with stunning views.

There was a lovely conservatory and some lovely fixtures and fittings (and the owner's art work). The accommodation was as described although parts were a little tired. For example the bedlinen was of poor quality and unironed. We had a lot of difficulty with the TV but the owner kindly organised her neighbour to come to get it working on two evenings running. (He also had difficulty which may be to do with the remoteness of the property.) The owner had given us a recommended route to the cottage from the main road rather than using the very narrow track and we would certainly recommend this to other visitors. We did not meet the owner as she was unwell but she could not have been more helpful on the phone. A very happy place for us to spend a birthday weekend.

Lovely cottage, attentive hosts, highly recommended

Great cottage in a unique position and ideal for us completing the Coastal Path.

Great pub near by

This was a lovely and comfortable cottage surrounded by fields and trees.

No traffic noise, just birdsong. The owners were friendly and helpful regarding local amenities. In fact they'd provided a comprehensive pack of information which was very useful.

A wonderful peaceful cottage, very cosy and comfortable, with a lovely outlook and very well equipped.

Great location for exploring the peninsula. Very friendly and helpful hosts. We had a lovely stay. Would highly recommend.

Our 2nd visit to YBig and it did not disappoint.

A very comfortable and welcoming cottage which had everything we needed for our stay. The cottage is surrounded by the most stunning views and is breathtakingly quiet and peaceful. We spent 3 days walking, taking in the most stunning scenery, beautiful beaches and we were lucky enough to have had fantastic weather. Thank you Liz and Dick, we look forward to returning again soon.

We had a wonderful stay (the weather was glorious!

). The scenery from the cottage is breathtaking, with the hills and nosy sheep in the day and starry skies at night, we had a wonderful spot to sit on the bench in the garden! Its a short walk to the pub, chip shop and beach (check out the golf club bar as well as the Ty Coch), and the Co-op does a great range of food (and Snowdonia cheese). The cottage is very comfortable, clean, and well stocked - with a conservatory for rainy days. The whole stay was incredibly relaxing. Thank you!

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.

We had a great week here exploring the local area. The owners Liz and Dick were lovely and were incredibly helpful throughout our stay.

Y Big is a small, comfortable cottage with a wonderful view of the countryside from the conservatory.

It is very private and secluded being reached down very narrow single track lanes with high hedges - not for the nervous. Luckily it is rare to meet a vehicle travelling the other way!

Took our 10 yr old twins they loved this quirky house with all its history, even though it never stopped raining.

Visited beautiful beaches. A great place for walking and getting away from the busy world. The owners are lovely and will vacillate all your needs.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic rural setting.

Great base for seeing the Llyn and 20min walk to the beach mainly along country lanes.

We loved staying at Y Big.

It’s a beautiful spot and the cottage was perfect for us. Thanks for reaching out before we arrived with all the useful information. In particular for proactively sharing photos of the cot and highchair so we could see these in advance (I wouldn’t have thought to ask!). Having the option for early check in meant we could make the most of our short stay, and we really appreciated the offer. So nice to have the welcome pack too & all the necessities. We enjoyed the local eggs very much! Thank you for making our stay so easy and enjoyable.

Great property with good facilities and beautiful views over the surrounding countryside.

.. very peaceful. Good location for getting around Llyn

What a lovely little gem of a property!

Away from it all, but near enough to the beach (1 mile) and the local shops/cafes. Really quiet other than the natural countryside noises and a total sun trap when the weather is nice, which it was all week. Some have commented on the lane going to the property which is indeed narrow, but its perfectly negotiable and I never actually encountered another vehicle when driving. For info I drive a 4x4 so unless you're trying to drive down a lorry I think you'll be ok. Perfect for walkers, with me and the dog clocking up over 90 miles in the week. The local pubs can get VERY busy on the weekend in summer as can the beach, but there are much quieter ones further afield in the car. The house is west facing, so can get VERY hot in the sun so best keep the curtains closed. It would benefit from blackout curtains in the bedroom such as those in the lounge but I guess this is down to personal preference. Please note there is also no washing machine here, so get your elbow grease ready for the handwash! Alternatively there is an laundry in the village. Hosts are tremendous and couldn't do enough. Local amenities are grand, including an emergency visit to the vets who couldn't help enough. All that remains to say is diolch!

Thank you for a lovely welcome to your beautiful cottage.

Such a beautiful location with absolutely breathtaking views. The peace and quiet was just incredible. Lots of beautiful walks, a couple of hours spent sat on the beach at the Ty Coch Inn with some lovely food. Next time we need a longer stay, as so much to do and see.

We had a fabulous 10 day stay.

The cottage is situated in a lovely location and is an ideal base for walking and cycling. The owners Liz & Dick are lovely and made us feel very welcome. They invited us to see their farm animals & my husband helped to deliver a lamb which was a wonderful experience and one we will treasure. The cottage had everything we needed and our 2 children enjoyed playing in the garden and watching the wildlife. Having read the previous reviews regarding the narrow lane, we didn’t have a problem in our Land Rover Defender which easily fit and we didn’t encounter any oncoming cars. We will certainly be booking again in the future and have already recommended to our friends & family.

The cottage is idyllic and very well appointed inside.

The owners had decorated for Xmas which made it a real home from home and it was a very pleasant place to be over the Xmas break. I would recommend Y Big wholeheartedly to friends and family but as it is on three different levels, it's not for people with mobility issues.

Lovely cosy cottage, would definitely recommend

Lovely cottage, nice and private and lovely owners.

Would have another week there in the summer. Shame about the weather.

The cottage is in good proximity to explore several beautiful beaches on the Llyn peninsula.

The lane to the property is very narrow which may be problematic if you have a large vehicle, it would be good to have this information in the description of the property so people are aware. Overall we had a nice holiday, apart from being woken in the middle of the night on several occasions by a large dog barking right outside the bedroom window. We also assume this dog was responsible for the dog mess we kept finding in the garden and on the drive by the car, which wasn’t ideal with two young children.

Everything about the cottage was first class.

The downside is the journey to the cottage down a very narrow lane with numerous bends. I had to use the car horn on numerous occasions due to the fear of another vehicle arriving at a blind spot. There were two occasions when I had to reverse to let vehicles pass. If I recommended this cottage to anyone, I would have to mention the Lane.

Clean and lovely cottage and location

Lovely cottage in great location.

Well equipped and comfortable. Friendly welcoming hosts with great attention to detail. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come again.

The property location is fantastic and the view beautiful.

It was lovely to sit out and watch the wildlife. The cottage was very comfortable with comfy beds. Very clean and welcoming. Footstools would be nice, as after a long day sightseeing and walking, putting your feet up would be lovely! Otherwise, almost perfect. My wife loves a bath and would have liked to have a soak, but it’s not a deal breaker. Just to mention also that the tin opener isn’t very good.

So relaxing really excellent could not fault the cottage or views in anyway, will be going back, loved the welsh cakes yummy

Such a lovely, cute cottage that was clean and cosy.

In the most perfect spot with an amazing view, our stay was blissfully peaceful. Secluded, private and welcoming. We stayed for just the weekend but managed to fit in a lot of exploring including the many beaches and driving through the stunning Llanberis Pass. Communication from the owners was excellent and the cake in particular was much appreciated and very yummy! Plenty of local shops and lots of options for food in the neighbouring villages. A very enjoyable weekend.

A very enjoyable week at Y Big looking forward to another visit there and the area.

Spiders every where

I cannot recommend this property enough.

The hosts are wonderful and the little touches such as fresh eggs, milk and Barabrith were wonderful. Ybig is situated on a quiet country lane surrounded by fields. The lambs were captivating to watch from the comfort of the conservatory. Not too far to the shops and amenities. We had a wonderful stay.

On approaching Y Big you must follow the instructions provided by Liz and Dick , the owners in order to negotiate the narrow winding lane which becomes a track over the final half mile .

On arrival you are welcomed by an amazing rural view and a splendidly restored and carefully modernised Welsh longhouse with period features as well as eco friendly ground sourced pumped heating and a wet room with shower , w.c. , bidet , and wash hand basin. The shower is unscreened, and must be mopped out after use.The kitchen diner is spacious and well equipped , with good natural light and countryside views via the excellent garden room/ conservatory . The lounge boasts comfortable leather sofas and a superb log burner , and the bedrooms are comfortably furnished with adequate storage , whilst the double has a useful en suite toilet and washbasin . We thoroughly enjoyed our week of relaxation in this lovely cottage set in beautiful peaceful countryside, and hope to return.

Superb property.

The owners couldn't of been more helpful. Great location, quiet and only 5 min from Morfa nefyn beach. Would definitely recommend
