The Experience

This charming whitewashed cottage is one of five on the Wern Estate, on the edge of Snowdonia National Park. You cook in the farmhouse kitchen and dine in the conservatory looking out over the gardens.

Snuggle next to the wood-burner in the sitting room with a book or play games – this is a great place to get away from it all.  Pick your own herbs from the garden, enjoy a barbecue on the patio when it’s balmy. Immerse yourself into the hot tub under the stars before bed, or book a private session in the sauna – a ten-minute walk or short drive.

A pretty stream runs alongside the house, and at the back there’s a secret garden with inspiring views across a private lake to the surrounding hills of the Llyn Peninsula. Walk to the beach at Black Rock Sands in 40 minutes, explore the nearby seaside towns of Criccieth and Porthmadog and have a fascinating day out at Portmeirion, designed in the style of an Italian village (a seven-mile drive).

Reviews

Tamar, Leeds

Beautiful part of the world. Lovely cottage which was beautifully clean. Stunning environment and we loved the fishing!


Tish, London

This is a lovely place to spend a week or a few days. Incredibly quiet and peaceful, carefully and sensitively restored Welsh longhouse with a pretty stream and footpath running through the grounds and a well stocked picturesque trout fishing lake in the adjacent field. The hot tub is a plus, a little complicated to get the hang of at first but easy once you’ve done it once. The soaps and shampoos were a lovely addition as was the welcome basket and the local information. Thanks again, we hope to come back some time soon if you’ll have us of course!


Alison, Matlock

Cosy cottage in very quiet location. Beautiful surroundings. Very clean and comfortable. We would return in a heartbeat.


Tracy, Little Berkhamstead

We had a lovely stay in this home from home with everything that you could possibly need. We look forward to going again. You must visit Black Rock Sands stunning beach with amazing views. We also visited Porthdinllaen and Nefyn Bay beautiful walks along the coast. We were lucky to see seals. If looking for Hikes We did Snowdonia views are breathtaking from the top. There are also smaller hikes around Snowdonia so much choice. Beautiful part of Wales


Calley, London

Really beautifully appointed cottage, with a very generous welcome basket. Particularly liked the provision of beach towels as well as bath towels. Tips for other travellers Book early for Dylan’s in Criccieth, and for The Potted Lobster in Abersoch. Make time to hike to the Watkin Pool for a wild swim halfway up Snowdon, head to Black Rock Sands after 4/4:30pm as you can get onto the beach for free. Chippy van is on the beach on Fridays. Walking in Newburgh Forest on Anglesey ended in an epic beach. Puffin Island boat trip is a highlight. Read the Welsh Princes trilogy before arrival.


Location

The neighbourhood

The Llyn Peninsula is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Welsh Coast Path runs around it, passing coves, beaches, churches and the remains of Iron Age forts. The Victorian seaside resort of Criccieth, six minutes’ drive away, has the remains of a 13th-century castle, as well as independent shops and good restaurants – try Dylan’s, a seafood restaurant in an art deco building facing the sandy beach.
