About this property
Situated in the pretty village of Mynytho near Llanbedrog, on the Llyn Peninsula, is this superb detached house. Inside, the property has been renovated with a lovely light décor and plenty of contemporary furnishings, giving that warm and welcoming feeling the moment you walk through the door. Look forward to spending your evenings in the spacious sitting room, with a delightful wood burning stove to keep you warm during those chillier winter months. Here you can spend some quality family time together enjoying a family movie night, whilst the dining/sun room provides a quieter space for you to catch up on some reading, or enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal, prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. The property has four bedrooms; a king size and twin on the ground floor, perfect for those with limited mobility. Another king size, with a balcony offering stunning views of the peninsula, and a twin, which can be made up as a super king on request, can be found on the first floor. Enjoy a relaxing soak or refreshing shower at the end of a tiring day in one of the three bathrooms, one of which is located on the ground floor. The property has access to an enclosed patio terrace, with panoramic views towards Abersoch and St Tudwal’s Islands in the distance and the large lawned garden provides a safe enclosed space where your little ones and pets can run freely.

The listing says sleeps 8 and it really does that very comfortably. All the bedrooms, two of which have their own shower/bathrooms, are of a good size and with the main lounge and separate garden room seating alongside the dining area, there's plenty of space to relax. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. Once again, we were blessed with great weather but it can get a bit breezy even on the best of days but that's maybe the price to pay for the fantastic views from the garden and especially the large master bedroom balcony. The dogs love the place too, with the large enclosed lawned garden there's plenty of space to run around or just chill after a hectic day on the beach. From previous recent reviews, there seems to have been some issues with the bins. The owner informed us this had been a waste contractor issue and has now been sorted and indeed the bins were emptied as expected. We can't recommend this place highly enough and will definitely be returning next year.

The kitchen was fitted with modern equipment and appliances including a T.V. which where also in all the rooms in the property which proved very useful. Whilst we do not have dog we did know that dogs were allowed, the drawback for ourselves was that the two dark coloured shaggy floor rugs where embedded with dog hairs and with a 1 year old crawling about we did find this off putting. Maybe the two rugs could be dispensed with as cleaning them of all dog hairs could prove very difficult. Regarding waste disposal, it was not made clear on which day(s) the refuse collectors called and which of the five bins they were to empty. we therefore left some of the bins at the top of the drive from Tuesday through to Friday evening eventually four of the five were picked up over two days while we were out.

The house has most things you could need for an enjoyable stay. We only had one issue which I believe has been mentioned by others in that there is not enough information regarding when the bins will be emptied. The main rubbish wheelie bin was already full upon our arrival and wasn't emptied by the council during our stay. We left the wheelie bins at the top of the drive for the duration of our holiday in the hope that they would be emptied. With this in mind, I hope the owner will talk to the local council for better information and we also apologize for leaving bags of rubbish in the porch when we left the property (to stop them from being attacked by gulls). Overall a great comfortable base with fab views! Thank you.
