Last Minute Cottages in Nefyn

  This cottage has the potential to be exceptional.

  It's very dark and cosy, which for December was great. It's tucked away without a drive, but we found the on road parking to be absolutely fine. We really enjoyed reading about the property's history, which was included as part of the welcome information. We appreciated the firewood for the first fire, and the sparkling wine in the fridge was a nice touch. There is a well stocked Spar down the road, and it is very close to some stunning beach walks. Communication with the owner was great when we couldn't find the immersion switch for the hot water - friendly and very helpful. If you are considering this cottage, though, know that you will need to bring *everything* with you. There was one toilet roll, one tea towel, one bin liner for the small kitchen bin, no hand soap, no hair dryer (not great to discover that right before a brisk beach walk in December!), no heater in either of the bedrooms. The single tea towel quickly became smelly because there is no central heating so therefore no radiator to dry it on. Many holiday lets we have stayed in have everything you need to make it a home from home - this isn't one of those properties, so just bear that in mind. Finally, for dog owners: the garden is not connected to the cottage. It is totally separate, so letting your dog out for a wee before bed or in the middle of the night isn't an option - you'll need to put their lead on and take them out. Overall a very cosy cottage full of character and history, it just needs a bit more attention to detail.

  Absolutely amazing property that was well maintained and very clean.

  Beds were super comfortable. This was a 'last minute' booking as the property we were supposed to stay in was withdrawn by the owner so wasn't as much choice for our budget at the time. Property was a lot bigger and more spacious than the pictures show so that was a nice suprise as was the fact the garden was secure as in the pictures I got the impression it was an open or communal garden! Was a joy to cook Xmas dinner in the huge kitchen! The only thing I missed was a slow cooker and serving tongs, we had planned on bringing our own as we usually do but didn't have any space in the car! The property is in a lovely location 'out in the sticks' with fantastic sea views and is lovely and peaceful yet only a 5 min drive to Nefyn town which has a wonderful well stocked spar shop. Nearest bigger town with an Asda is only a 15 min drive and Caernarfon is only a 30 mins drive. Snowdonia is also a 30 - 45 min drive and there are also so many beaches within a half hour! We loved walking around Abersoch and we visited different beaches each day! The only negative would have been the shower as we struggled to get it hot and when we did get some hot water it only lasted 5 mins which was difficult for 5 of us but we managed. Thank you once again for letting us stay and we hope we left the property clean enough.

  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!

  This is a beautiful place to stay.

  We stayed in March so did not get the full benefit of the lovely patio outside and beautiful large garden. The house is very big and what we would call a "party house". The space is amazing. The lounge is massive and the sofas are comfy and it just feels homely. The massive TV with SKY package is so good! The pool table is such fun and spoilt my husband. It is a big house to heat in the winter and we did have to use the electric heaters but they soon warm the lounge and dining area up. The bedrooms are very comfortable. It is the best I have slept in ages. It was immaculately clean when we got there, with seals on the toilets to prove they had cleaned them properly. The lane is a bit bumpy coming up to property as it is a private road and I would imagine these issues take time. The TESCO man refused to deliver our groceries to us so we had to drive down the road (short drive) to pick up our groceries (don't trust TESCO saying they will deliver - maybe depends on driver?. Local areas amazing and the sea is just down the very steep lane but you can drive down and plenty of parking. A lovely holiday was had! Paddy was very helpful when I contacted him. We will definitely go back!

  Lovely clean cottage.

  Very well equipped. Couldn't comment on the view, as it was foggy all week. Lovely welcome pack for us and our dog. Thank you. A couple of minor and 1 major problem for us. Minor - post code takes you to a totally different house down the hill. As we arrived in the dark, it took us over 30 mins to find right house. TV signal intermittent - look at something like Sky TV, that would be good. Major - Found the position of the double bed awkward and tight. If you slept on the window side, you'd smack your legs on the frame or fall onto the bed. As not very nimble, this was a daily occurrence. Maybe swapping rooms, aka children's room in the smaller bedroom, aka 1 single bed and bunk beds, would solve the problem. However, thanks again for letting us stay at your lovely cottage. Please don't let my concerns put anyone off from booking. Also, have to say that the kitchen was fab.
