Perfect retreat for a relaxing break in a 14th century-origin bothy, which was exactly what we sought from a holiday. Birds, wild life, farm animals, views to the sea, Anglesey and the hills behind the property. Fresh farm eggs, the possibility to eat indoors or outdoors, barbecue and hot tub. Oh, and a fish pond behind the Bothy...! And only a short drive from Caernaerfon, Anglesey, Bangor, Phwhelli, Porthmadoc and Portmeirion, amongst other places....
Stayed 4 nights in May 2026
