About this property

Aberdaron 3.5 miles. This attractive, detached, whitewashed stone cottage is set on a quiet lane in a rural, picturesque location surrounded by rolling countryside, only a short drive from the beautiful little fishing village of Aberdaron. This single-storey, dog-friendly cottage will appeal to couples or a small family hoping to explore one of the most beautiful areas along the North Wales coastline, the Llŷn Peninsula. On arrival, you'll be greeted by peace and tranquillity, before stepping inside this welcoming cottage. Enjoy relaxing afternoons in the sitting room with cushioned sofas and an open fire to warm tired feet, whilst you watch TV, choose a book from the collection, or reminisce about the day's adventures with your loved ones. The farmhouse-style kitchen/diner has everything you need for a self-catering stay, including an electric oven, ceramic hob, fridge/freezer, and a washer/dryer and dishwasher, so you can cook at home with ease. Enjoy leisurely breakfasts here or make your way to the bright and airy conservatory, a great spot for catching the morning sun with your fresh cup of coffee and planning the day ahead. Your dog has plenty of space in the garden to play with the little ones in the sunshine, whilst you rustle up dinner on the barbecue with fantastic countryside views as your backdrop! Porth Awyr also has lockable bike storage, so be sure to bring yours to discover more of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. When it's time to retire, freshen up in the beautifully appointed bathroom with a bath and shower over, before choosing from two bedrooms. You'll wake up to country views in the double with lovely wooden furnishings, and in the single with a trundle under, ideal for two youngsters. Start your holiday by exploring lovely country walks from your doorstep that join the Welsh Coastal Path with miles of unspoilt coastal and clifftop walks! Pack your towels, buckets and spades for days by the sea at the golden sands of Traeth Porthor, known as Whistling Sands beach, or Traeth Penllech, whilst the charming fishing village of Aberdaron is close by. Visit the historic Eglwys Hywyn Sant, pick up a sweet treat at the traditional Becws Islyn Bakery, and relax along the sands of Traeth Aberdaron, a popular spot for surfing! Be sure to venture along the coastal path to spot the local bird life and admire views of Bardsey Island (Ynys Enlli) out at sea, or perhaps you'd prefer an action-packed day at Saethu Coed Airsoft Centre? Venture further along the coast to the idyllic Porth Neigwl or Hell's Mouth, a sprawling beach with grassy dunes, which is overlooked by the National Trust's Plas yn Rhiw, a 16th-century manor house with formal gardens. The bustling village of Abersoch is another must-visit on the peninsula to stroll along the sandy beach, play a game or two at the golf club, and dine at one of the many restaurants. There's so much to discover along the North Wales coast including the market town of Pwllheli, the Italianate village of Portmeirion, plenty of hikes and outdoor adventures in Snowdonia National Park, and the beautiful Isle of Anglesey. Porth Awyr is an ideal base for exploring the riches North Wales has to offer, all year-round.

Aberdaron is a seaside village situated on the beautiful Llyn Peninsula. The village offers a sandy beach, lime-washed fishermen's cottages, cafes, shops and a church. The popular resorts of Pwllheli and Abersoch are close by, as are castles, fishing, watersports and golf opportunities.
