Bywyd Da, Welsh for ‘Good Life’, is an excellent, semi-detached holiday home situated in Abersoch.

The ground-floor bedrooms share a sleek shower room, a space showcasing contemporary tiling and a spacious walk-in shower. Climb the stairs to discover a stunning open-plan living space, a room showcasing rustic, exposed beams that complement the contemporary fittings. The sitting area contains leather sofas for you and your loved ones to stretch out on as you watch your favourite show on the wall-mounted TV; the sitting area opens out to a sunny balcony, with more seating for you to relax on as you catch the rays. The kitchen is an impressive spot and boasts high-gloss fittings that house integrated appliances, including a handy built-in microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer. Just behind the kitchen is a fantastic dining area, with cream, leather seating for you to settle down on as you enjoy a tasty meal accompanied by a glass of wine.

Meander into the village and grab your essentials from the amply-equipped SPAR, before savouring a local ale from The Vaynol, and venturing down to the fabulous beaches surrounding the village; the golf club also isn’t fair, why not stop for a game? Spend the day in Llanbedrog, where you can pay the impressive art gallery & café of Plas Glyn y Weddw a visit and enjoy a movie at the open-air cinema during the summer months; the village is also home to a range of eateries and a popular beach that is waiting to be explored. Enjoy an outing in Pwllheli, where sports fans can spend some time at the town’s Leisure Centre with a pool, tennis courts and children’s activities; tour the quaint Oriel Y Mor art museum, before basking in the sun on Traeth Glan-y-Don or Traeth Marian-y-De.

Apparently the cleaners should have ensures it was ready. It took a couple of hours to get it going after phone calls between us, Sykes and the owner. There was no info pack at the house which would have helped. The shower was very small and didnât frown very well. The garage light did not work. The house was lovely- styled very well and easy access to the village.
