The house is very comfortable, with a lovely new bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you might need. The garden is a great size and the walk to the beach is right outside the front door. The location is lovely, if a little quiet. The beach cafe / shop is fantastic. The Spar in Nefyn is excellent, and there is also a Premier a little closer to the house. The only negative I would say is that there weren't that many places to go out to eat very nearby, but if you drive a little there are plenty of options. We found some places fully booked, especially for Sunday lunch, so it is worth booking some tables before you arrive. Jane, the owner, was happy to share local tips and was very helpful throughout our stay. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

The cottage was spotlessly clean and was equipped with everything we needed and more. The kitchen and bathroom felt brand new and the living room was super cozy to relax in after a day of exploring. The bed was honestly the comfiest we have ever slept in. The garden was perfect for our large dogs to play in although they were often too exhausted after the beautiful walks nearby. The beach nearby is 5-10 minute walk and especially lovely to watch the sunset on as it was often just us! The neighbours were lovely and gave us plenty of recommendations. Jane kept in contact throughout and gave us lots of suggestions of places to visit and eat. All in all a lovely cottage in a great location, if we ever revisit the area we would 100% return here. Thankyou!
