Pen Y Garth

Pen Y Garth had everything we needed and is located in a small village close to both the coast and the Snowdonia National Park.

Views of the sea and countryside can be seen from both the terrace and the balcony. We had an enjoyable, restful week

A beautiful holiday home.

Spacious comfortable and very attractive. Amenities were first class and the outlook from the many windows was special. Our second time there and we’d certainly come again

We had a lovely 3 generation stay at the property.

Views were superb. Everything was well catered for., plenty of crockery etc. No complaints at all.

House was superb location great only fault we could not control the heating and may be a problem in colder weather,

The location is perfect with stunning views.

The kitchen facilities were the best we have encountered by far and the beds were very comfortable. As previously commented on, a couple of loungers on the patio would have been nice for the oldies in our party. However we did spend a great deal of time in the sun room. The only negative thing was a strong smell of soot upstairs on the landing and in the master bedroom.

Just excellent in all areas We have booked again for next year.

Lovely property, well equipped and maintained.

The house is in a great location with lovely views and easy access to lots of beaches.

It has a south facing enclosed garden which was great for our dogs and meant we could enjoy the sunshine that we were lucky to have all week, it would have been nice if there had been a couple of sun loungers though. Just a couple of little things, the patio door out onto the raised patio area is very difficult to open and close ( there is a technique to it ) but a sliding door would be way easier. We seemed to have no control over the heating, if we put the thermostat up it would just revert back to a lower temperature after a short while. Luckily we didn’t need it much as the weather was good but it would put us off coming in Autumn & winter months as we had no idea or control of when the heating would come on and there were no instructions apart from telling us where the thermostat was.

A very good and comfortable house, with good facilities.

It is situated in a small estate but a few minutes walk gets one into the country side and well placed in the Llyn peninsula for beaches, walks along the coast and up the small local hills.

Wonderful holiday accommodation.

A 'welcome pack' would have been good when you have travelled over 200 miles. Not even a pint of milk!

This property would have got the top ratings except for 1 thing.

That was the heating. We were never sure when the heating would be on. On a cold February booking we expected regular heating during the daytime and evening. However radiators sometimes came on during the night. Odd radiators came on for short periods during the day. Some were cold all the time some only warm for a couple of hours then cold again. As there appeared to be no boiler is it heated by a heat pump? Luckily the log burner worked when we put it on in the evening. But we had to buy logs for this. The thermostat located in the lounge did not seem to be very effective. In other aspects the house was lovely and we had no other problems. Thank you.

Had a great week .

Lovely spacious cottage comfy beds. Luckily weather was good. Nice walk from cottage to beach, abit muddy over fields. 5 minutes drive to the ship inn pub in Llanbedrog the meals where good.

Pen Y Garth was a very spacious, comfortable and well equipped cottage to spend our holiday.

It was lovely to stay in such a well equipped and maintained property. It is well located to explore all of the Llyn Peninsula and the lovely seaside village of Abersoch with it's restaurants, cafes, shops and amazing beach is just a short drive away. The amazing art gallery, cafes and beach at Llanbedrog are even closer. The house is very spacious and the views of Abersoch Bay and Porth Neigwl from the house were amazing! We very much enjoyed our stay at Pen Y Garth and would recommend it for both families and more mature couples too.

This was our 5th or 6th annual pilgrimage to Pen y Garth so that alone says something about the place.

The listing says sleeps 8 and it really does that very comfortably. All the bedrooms, two of which have their own shower/bathrooms, are of a good size and with the main lounge and separate garden room seating alongside the dining area, there's plenty of space to relax. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. Once again, we were blessed with great weather but it can get a bit breezy even on the best of days but that's maybe the price to pay for the fantastic views from the garden and especially the large master bedroom balcony. The dogs love the place too, with the large enclosed lawned garden there's plenty of space to run around or just chill after a hectic day on the beach. From previous recent reviews, there seems to have been some issues with the bins. The owner informed us this had been a waste contractor issue and has now been sorted and indeed the bins were emptied as expected. We can't recommend this place highly enough and will definitely be returning next year.

A lovely functional and comfortable house with gorgeous views in which we very much enjoyed our stay and will almost certainly return.

The house has most things you could need for an enjoyable stay. We only had one issue which I believe has been mentioned by others in that there is not enough information regarding when the bins will be emptied. The main rubbish wheelie bin was already full upon our arrival and wasn't emptied by the council during our stay. We left the wheelie bins at the top of the drive for the duration of our holiday in the hope that they would be emptied. With this in mind, I hope the owner will talk to the local council for better information and we also apologize for leaving bags of rubbish in the porch when we left the property (to stop them from being attacked by gulls). Overall a great comfortable base with fab views! Thank you.

The property was neatly presented and tidy with both the seating and the beds comfortable.

The kitchen was fitted with modern equipment and appliances including a T.V. which where also in all the rooms in the property which proved very useful. Whilst we do not have dog we did know that dogs were allowed, the drawback for ourselves was that the two dark coloured shaggy floor rugs where embedded with dog hairs and with a 1 year old crawling about we did find this off putting. Maybe the two rugs could be dispensed with as cleaning them of all dog hairs could prove very difficult. Regarding waste disposal, it was not made clear on which day(s) the refuse collectors called and which of the five bins they were to empty. we therefore left some of the bins at the top of the drive from Tuesday through to Friday evening eventually four of the five were picked up over two days while we were out.

Pen Y Garth is a lovely house, with everything you need for an excellent holiday.

It was spotlessly clean and welcoming on our arrival and It is well located on the Lleyn Peninsula for all the towns and beaches. A delightful place to stay. Thank you to the owners.

Wonderful property, with everything you are likely to need.

A home from home.

We enjoyed a great New Year break at Pen Y Garth - the owners communicated through the app which was very helpful.

The house was in a great location to explore the Welsh coast. The garden was great for the dog as it was fully enclosed. We couldn't ask for a better property for this break, we will be back to stay again in the future.

Lovely peaceful cottage.

Clean We had an issue with the radiator coming off the wall and bins not collected. We contacted the owners. They were very approachable and very genuine and sorted the issue immediately. Minor issues. Some remote controls needed batteries replacing. And the hoover didn’t work properly but again not an issue as was resolved Great communication with owners

An excellent well presented property.

Beautiful surroundings both for the property and the area. All individuals we met were both welcoming and helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here. Only very small thing , no milk jug. That is really the smallest issue and we were thrilled that this was the only thing that we noticed that was worth sharing.

A truly superb property, which we will definitely consider staying at again.

Local facilities were good, especially the local farm shop.

Wonderful property in a lovely location.

Very comfortable and well maintained. Everything we needed was supplied and more. Highly recommended to family and friends and can’t wait to hopefully return soon.

We had a lovely stay at Pen Y Garth.

The cottage was spacious and very well equipped. The seaviews were wonderful. The large garden was great for children to run around and the outdoor seating was perfect for relaxing in the sunshine. Easy access to numerous beautiful beaches. Highly recommended.

The property was ideal for our large family and everyone had a great time.

Particular plus points - excellent layout, spacious, enclosed garden, bedroom balcony, patio, views, location, quietness.

Great house with the comfiest beds ever.

Lovely views .

Facilities were excellent had everything we needed for self catering holiday, location very good, views were amazing would stay again.

The house is in a quiet location with stunning views and all the attractions of the area are within easy reach.

There were seven of us in our party with one dog and there was plenty of room to accommodate everyone. The house was clean and well presented. We will be booking again and wouldn't hesitate in recommending this property.

We were a family of 4 adults and 2 young children.

We loved the layout of the property but the mattress in the ground floor double bedroom was very uncomfortable causing sleep problems and back ache. The kitchen was well equipped but a tight squeeze when sitting all of us plus a high chair around the table - we kept the dining room table for jigsaws and childrens games, of which there was a good supply.. wi-fi was fine, The garden was safely enclosed but could use access to some portable seating to take down there. The location was great with 10 minutes drive to Pwhelli and Abersoch beach, and the views from the property are stunning. Overall we highly recommend the property.

Excellent, well equipped, comfortable and clean property.

Everyone in my family thoroughly enjoyed staying there. Really comfortable beds. Lovely views from patio and balcony. Needed the wood burner on 2 wet days though. No hesitation in recommending.

Lovely property in great location for Llyn Peninsula

Property was really nice but shame about the heating we found it to be coming on around 4 in the morning when we needed it on in the evening it didn't seem to come on.

We had to buy lots of logs to light the fire to keep warm.

Loverly house well looked after .

we had a great time again .thankyou to the house owners and sykes holidays carnt wait for next one

Enjoyed our stay, and liked the peaceful location of the house, yet only a 15 minute drive from busy Abersoch or Pwllheli.

Just an 8 minute walk up the road was a well stocked small Post Office come shop selling all essential basic foodstuffs that you may require plus daily papers and magazines.

Excellent location, great family house.

One problem that needs to be solved is rubbish collection. When we arrived, the one one green bin was full and there were two crates of empty bottles. As instructed we put our own rubbish in black bin bags and left them for the weekly collection on Tuesday. We watched the private collectors empty the green bin and leave everything else! Hence our own correctly bagged stuff and the crates of bottles from the previous visitors will welcome the next guests. Perhaps it's a cheapskate contract that is limited to the one green bin.

We had a fabulous holiday and the house suited us perfectly as our party was my partner and myself and my son and his family so two sitting rooms were ideal.

The views were stunning and the house was very well equipped. I am Welsh although no longer live there (

Unfortunately property was supposed to have been deep cleaned, but wasn’t.

It was clean on the whole BUT there were several used & empty liquid soap bottles around, a hair clip in the downstairs shower, a loofah sponge in the upstairs bath , the kitchen smelt, and it was extremely dusty. ornaments were throughout. The property was ok yet it was tired and dated and not worth the price we paid

Well equipped cottage with plenty of room for everyone to spread out.

The garden was great for the dogs. We enjoyed our stay.

It was great to have the 2 large living spaces, especially as there was 8 of us.

The house is well equipped and has some beautiful views. Would definitely recommend this property.

Excellent cottage , could not fault anything, super size for large family,lovely large garden ,we were all very impressed with facilities, would absolutely recommend it .

The house was much bigger than we expected, having 2 large living rooms made life much easier with an 18month old and a 4 year old running around.

The kitchen is well equipped and the garden is large and secure. We had a great time and hopefully we will book again next year.

Lovely, clean and comfortable house, with fantastic views.

Plenty of room for everyone and a very well equipped kitchen, did a lot of cooking and had everything we needed and more. Would stay again if in the area and recommend.
