Confirmed Guest
The house was lovely to visit for a week, clean and welcoming with everything you needed and more equipment there and other items than most property rentals provide for their guests in our experience..The kitchen was so well equipped and it was very pleasant to sit and have our meals at the big table there.The extras left for us and our dog by the owners were thoughtful and appreciated. The garden was well enclosed, perfect for our little dog to roam safely in ,he loved it and very pleasant to sit in for us too.Just a small negative was we found that the shutters and curtains in the bedroom did not block the light out sufficiently for us and it was quite bright early in the mornings but the bed was comfortable and it was always quiet and peaceful.Aberdaron is a lovely small seaside resort and Bodarfor by the sea was a perfect place to stay for a week with our dog and very comfortable to come home to.

Beautiful spacious house with everything you could need in a stunning location. The village is gorgeous and it was just a short walk down the hill to all the amenities and splendid beach. Llyn is a magical place (particularly the North West) and this was a perfect base to see all the sites. Very clear and friendly communication from Penny prior to and during our stay. We shall return :)

Found this amazing cottage by accident and it far exceeded our expectations, so much so that we have already booked our second visit. The whole property gives you holiday vibes, we felt at home right away. The location straight onto the beach is five minutes by car (sadly due to my husband's health we were unable to walk) and the beach stretches for miles. There is everything and more that you need in terms of crockery, glasses etc., and for me being able to feed the birds and then sit in the garden was an extra bonus. Every room is bright and airy, the beds were comfortable, parking is right outside the proprty behind closed gates, the owners were lovely, we had a really relaxing time and would highly recommend a visit.
