The property is described as very clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, suggesting high standards are maintained. However, without more detailed feedback, a perfect score cannot be justified.
The location is praised for its stunning views, proximity to beaches, and private parking. It is considered perfect by guests, with easy access to local attractions.
The property is consistently described as comfortable and well-equipped, catering to families and groups. The mention of a small oven, dishwasher, and fridge suggests some limitations for larger parties.
Facilities like the games room are a hit, but some maintenance issues have been reported. These seem to be minor and addressed promptly, but they do affect the overall experience.

About this property
Trefor 2.3 miles.

Boasting off-road parking for two cars, a well-appointed rear garden, and exquisite interiors complete with exposed wooden beams and high vaulted ceilings, this charming holiday property welcomes a family or group of eight friends sharing for a relaxing escape within the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales. Park up, unpack, and make yourself at home in your wonderful new home.

The games room including pool table, projector screen, PS4 and Nintendo Wii is the perfect space to keep yourselves entertained.

Whilst you're in the village, be sure to stop by the idyllic spots of the Trefor Sea Stacks and Traeth Trefor, along with the historic landmarks of Trwyn Brêc, Cei Trefor, and Gyrn Ddu. Your trip to the region would be incomplete without stepping foot into the magnificent Eryri National Park, the country's largest, home to endless mountain ranges, beautiful lakes, and exceptional coastlines. Choose Hen Gapel Seion to make your next trip to North Wales unforgettable.
The small village of Trefor is surrounded by sea and mountains, overlooking Caernarfon Bay, and enjoys a harbour with stone breakwater pier and sheltered sandy beach that the Wales Coastal Path runs past, or the more adventurous can enjoy a regular surf outside the breakwater. The village benefits from a convenience store, Post Office and licensed social club. Nearby, in the village of Llithfaen, are the Welsh Language and Heritage Centre and restaurant. The pretty coastal town of Nefyn lies 7.5 miles away, sitting atop sweeping cliffs, and is home to a fine, two-mile stretch of sandy beach, along with a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, and the award-winning golf club is popular with families and couples alike. Trefor is also within reach of the amenities of the popular towns of Pwllheli, Abersoch, Caernarfon, Portmeirion and Bangor. The coastline around this region is dotted with castles and coves, while fishing, sailing and watersports are all available. The start of the Snowdonia National Park is 5 miles away, with its dramatic scenery and abundance of superb walks. With its proximity to such a wide range of destinations, this area makes a superb base for a break in North Wales.

What a lovely place to stay but some maintenance issues which need to be addressed, which we have raised with Sykes and the owners, Steve the maintenance guy(who was great btw) arrived on the first day addressing a previous problem and did what he could The overall place is amazing with great facilities and fully stocked with what you need for a stay Games room was a big hit too Apart from the maintenance issues we enjoyed our stay

However there were a number of maintenance issues which we reported and will be following up with an email direct. Would have rated 9/10 had it not been for the maintenance problems.

When we walked in and saw it still retained some of the features from the existing chapel and how bright and open the living area was we were blown away. The doors to the large garden area folded right back and gave you a sense of freedom as you looked at the roaming hills behind, and immediately you felt relaxed. It got even better with the games room. It had a pool table and projecter which most nights we would would project music videos from YouTube whilst enjoying a drink and a game of pool. The beaches around the area were magnificent and just around 15-20min drive in eaither direction and a secluded beach just a walk away as well, which our dog loved. We had a couple of nights were we watched the sun set and go down over the sea from the large windows in the living area, which was magnificent. It was very clean and we were pleasently surprised with the Welsh cake and Proseco waiting for us when we got there. All in all, a perfect holiday and we will be will definitely be returning
