Dinner can be savoured at the spacious breakfast bar or the nearby dining table; be sure to pull out a bottle from the wine chiller to accompany your meal! Move across the space to find a large l-shaped sofa where you and your family can spend some quality time playing a board game from the selection provided, before settling down to enjoy a movie on the TV with Freeview; switch on the electric fire for some extra warmth. Progress through the property to come across three wonderful bedrooms, where you can tuck the little ones into the two appealing twin rooms, before freshening up in the master bedroom’s en-suite wet room and enjoying a well-earned rest in the double; the bedrooms benefit from wall-mounted TVs and ample fitted storage. In the morning, wake yourself up with a rinse in the bathroom’s p-shape bath. The rear enclosed patio features ample seating for you to stretch out on as you savour a refreshing beverage or wait for the chef of the group to grill a tasty lunch on the barbecue; the patio also features a utility and outdoor washing facilities, for added convenience. The park is served by a fantastic range of facilities that will suit anyone’s taste, from relaxing in the spa’s steam room and sauna, working out in the Technogym, partaking in the exhilarating activities of watersports and climbing, and so much more; the kids can be entertained also, with a craft room, gaming zone and cinema at their leisure. The park is situated next to a fabulous beach, where you can spend some time sunbathing whilst the kids splash about in the sea; after a day packed with fun in the sun and sand, treat the family to a meal at the Warren Sandbar. Abersoch is just moments away and renowned for its fantastic sailing waters, be sure to make the most of them by renting a surfboard or partaking in a sailing lesson with Abersoch Sailing School; after fun in the waters, why not try your hand at putting at the Abersoch Golf Club or enjoy a spot of retail therapy along the high street. Why not embark on the Llŷn Coastal Path, where you can discover a plethora of beaches surrounding the Llŷn Peninsula, including Machroes Beach with its nearby Tearooms, and Traeth Porth Meudwy, where you can board a boat to Bardsey Island; the path can also take you to the headlands of Llanbedrog and Mynydd Mawr, where ample birdwatching opportunities can be found amidst the panoramic views. Llanbedrog and Pwllheli aren’t far and make for an idyllic afternoon outing, or venture further into the Peninsula to discover the delights of Criccieth and Porth Nefyn.

I only stayed this time as I had already booked and loss of deposit etc. The property is tired, several lights don't work, the main door handle / mechanism is faulty and difficult to operate, the freezer needs de-icing badly (cant open the doors). The fire/heater in the lounge doesn't work (or the remote to control it is faulty), the shaving / mirror light in the bathroom doesn't work. Most of these problems existed several months ago, last time I stayed, which indicates a general lack of maintenance and effort to make the property functional for renters. Furthermore, during both stays I provided the car registration details, as requested, but this is pointless as The Warren take no notice of the information. This means that each time you enter the park you have to discuss your booking with security.

The property is beautiful. The owner contacted us prior to our arrival and provided us with some useful information and was more than happy to help with a few queries I had. On arrival there were no issues getting through the ANPR controlled gates, we provided all 3 car registrations and all got through no problem. On arrival the property was clean and tidy both inside and out. We did find that we were all using the ensuite shower as itâs a lot more powerful than the one in the shared bathroom. Beds were super comfy. Sofa was too low for my grandma to use but we piled some cushions up and she was fine. Outdoor shower was very handy for getting any sand off before heading indoors. Washer and dryer were easy to use. Access to the beach is just round the corner via a narrow sandy path. The outdoor pool area was perfect, non slip flooring and no steps just walk in. Heated to at least 28/30oc and the small shallow pool must have reached 40oc easily! It was like getting into a hot tub!! Sadly as we went in June and not peak season the pool would close at 5pm but then you can go enjoy another 3 hours of sunshine on the beach. Only been back home 24hours and have booked to stay again next year. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, hereâs to many more to come.
