This delightful cottage provides a wonderful retreat for couples or small families seeking their next adventure in North Wales. The cottage is comprised of two well-presented bedrooms and a lovely outdoor space, complete with indulgent hot tub for a luxurious end to adventure-filled days. For guests who enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside, woodland, and coastal walks then Hen Felin is the ideal destination. The property benefits from a private drive with two off-road parking spaces and an enclosed lawned area. The kitchen/dining area, which can be accessed via the patio doors, is bright and contemporary, with a light grey shaker-style kitchen, an oil-fired Aga, and numerous integrated appliances such a dishwasher, oven, hob, and fridge/freezer. In the middle of this spacious room is a dining table, perfect for socialising or just taking in the scenery as you eat. After a long day of exploring your local surroundings, head on through to the welcoming sitting room. Kick-back and relax on the sumptuous sofas in front of the crackling woodburning stove, as your favourite show plays out on the Smart TV. Upstairs, you will find a delightful double bedroom, lovingly decorated, and furnished, and with its own TV where you can catch up on much-loved shows from the comfort of your bed. The second bedroom is a fun bunk room, perfect for the little ones to enjoy sleepovers in. The bathroom is well-appointed and offers a choice of bath or overhead shower for preparing for the day ahead. The outdoor space features a private patio and lawn where you can unwind with a drink of wine on the outdoor furniture or sink back among the bubbles in the hot tub. For watersport enthusiasts, Pwllheli Marina has much to offer from sailing, jet skiing, wakeboarding, windsurfing and much more. You and your loved ones can spend a relaxing afternoon at Cricieth or Black Rock beach, where the waves are mild and the sand is soft, making it perfect for children to run around and splash in the sea or for beginners to learn how to surf. Cricieth is an idyllic community that boasts a historic castle, a fantastic fish and chip store, and the world-famous Cadwaladers ice cream. Beddgelert, a quaint and pretty village in the Snowdonia National Park, is not far away, and neither is the charming Italian village of Portmeirion. You can select from three different zip world settings, and from the top, you'll be able to take in the magnificent scenery of Snowdonia National Park. The Slate Caverns of Llechwedd also lead to the secret adventure of Bounce Below. There's something for everyone at Glasfryn Park, from go-karting to ten-pin bowling to archery to an aqua park and even clay pigeon shooting, making it the perfect place to spend the day with the kids. Nantlle Vale is home to a vineyard and orchard, perfect for wine connoisseurs. In addition to the informative tour and wine tasting, the popular restaurant serves a variety of delicious, home-cooked dishes. In addition to being a serene and pleasant holiday home, Hen Felin serves as a convenient starting point for exploring the stunning Snowdonia National Park and the rest of the Lleyn Peninsula.
On the South West Wales coastline, this tiny beach village is tucked between the charming Burry Port and the historic mining town of Llanelli. It is home to the Amelia Earhart Plaque, honouring the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, who landed in the estuary close to Pwll in June 1928. It also offers a high position rising away from the shore that affords views of the Gower Peninsula. Along with a few bars, the community also contains a local store, a pet store, and a post office. Visit the 8-mile Cefn Sidan beach and 550 acres of beautiful woodland in Pembrey Country Park, or head over to the bustling harbour at Burry Port to see the fisherman return to shore with their boats filled with fish. The Millennium Coastal Path offers some of Wales' most picturesque routes for walkers and bikers, and Llanelli is a great place to practise any sport. Rugby matches, a little racing at the Pembrey Circuit, and a variety of golf courses are all available, and the easily accessible Carmarthen has lots to offer shoppers as well. Visit Carmarthen Castle to brush up on local history, or visit the Carmarthenshire County Museum to discover fascinating Welsh artefacts and take a scenic train ride on the Gwili Steam Railway. Where better to stay during your next trip to the UK with so much to see and do in this stunning area of Wales?

Plenty of utilities in the kitchen. Very clean. Very comfortable. Hot tub addition was very nice. King size bed would be nice addition and maybe a chest of drawers behind the door in bunkbed room. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

A beautiful property in wonderful surroundings, so very peaceful.The owner, Sioned, was a lovely host and the cottage is such a credit to her. There are no negatives whatsoever, only that the week was over too soon! The weather was mixed during our week but we visited many lovely places and the highlight was coming back to the lovely hot tub. A fantastic week and thank you Sioned for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cottage. I'm sure we will visit again soon.
