Beautiful Cottage! We have had such a relaxing holiday. The view is “magic”. The weather was perfect until Friday (some rain), no complaints though. Very clean cottage will highly recommend. O & M Kent
We so enjoyed the opportunity to be together (very old friends from primary school days). The views were amazing & although weather changeable, we were out every day along the coastal path and hills. We walked up Yr Eifl (on B4417 N of Nefyn ), amazing views, & I jogged around the headland, glorious, Hope to return again.

Thank you very much for letting us stay in your homely cottage – our first time here, but not our first on this headland. This is a place where we really can unwind. Magical moment- one morning when it was sunny here, but Hell’s Mouth covered in fluffy white cloud with just the highest hills peeping through- like flying above clouds. We will be back!!
