About this property

RIGHT ON THE BEACH !!!

The spacious detached bungalow is wonderful as a retreat for couples (max 5 adults) or families wishing to enjoy a traditional beach holiday. Because of its unique beach location cars are parked on Aberdesach Green, which is overlooked by other properties, and easy access is gained over a small pedestrian footbridge and 140m along the beach. (There is a wheelbarrow in the shed to help with your luggage.) Niwl-y-Mynydd is one of 16 properties in this quiet, peaceful yet not isolated holiday paradise. The pebbly beach starts some 10m from the front door with beautiful sands and rock pools at low tide. The sea is pretty spectacular in the winter months, so if this is something that excites you, be sure to book a stay at this time of the year. Because of the nature of the tides, the amount of sand varies from year to year. For many years 80% of our bookings have come from previous visitors who enjoy this wonderful setting. 4night breaks available from November until March for £ 450 but not including bank holidays. One well-behaved dog (maximum 25kgs)is welcome at a charge of £30.
Electricity is charged at the standard rate by meter reading.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

A beautiful place to stay in good weather

It couldn’t be nearer that rare thing, a beach left to nature and free from most tourism. With both sand and shingle and plenty of wildlife, including a rare glimpse of dolphins feeding late on a quiet evening. Perfect for a quiet traditional family stay, yet near enough, using fast roads to visit Anglesey

A beautiful scenic place to relax

The bungalow is right on the beach with panoramic views of the sea, we were lucky enough to see dolphins and a couple of seals. Quite isolated with no local pub or shop in walking distance so if you wanted to go for a drink and something to eat in the evening you would have to drive. The Caernarfon castle is well worth a visit and good value for money. We also visited the llanfair slate caverns and Corris mines we found both fascinating and in formative, it was good to learn some of the North Wales history.

Stunning location and views. Great facilities and layout.

A wonderful family holiday with tween age children at this stunning property. The views reminded us of NZ with the mountains meeting the coast. We were at the foot of the mountains in 20/30 minutes drive and then back in time for a paddle before dark. We even went swimming once! Property is very well laid out with everything you could want. Very peaceful. Would recommend. You do have a short walk from where you park to the cottage. It only took the four of us 3 trips to unload an awful lot of gear plus food for the week so not a problem at all. Loved it.

Good location

Lovely view from property and quite a nice size, 50 feet from sea when tide was in.Gardens were ok, although rear is a steep slope.Front was small but adequate for our needs. Good location for exploring the area. Negatives 1. Having to cart belongings approx 100 meters along pathway to access property - took us 4 loads, although a wheelbarrow made it easier. 2. Other slight negative was having to pay for electricity seperately after holiday, although I understand why. A good positive was TV stopped working on 2nd night - owners sorted this out the next day with a new TV delivered & installed which was very good. Overall a lovely place to stay, it was quite an old property.

Bridge

Absolutely wonderful . The bridge you need to cross is like a cattle grid and my dog would not cross it hurt his paws. So every time we had go through some fields . Maybe a suggestion of a bit of ply wood or plank of wood over the bridge for dogs.

Hello Gloria, So pleased you had a wonderful holiday! The local authority maintained footbridge bridge has easy access across the stream, however, some small or young dogs may want to be carried because of their small paws. Kind regards, Caroline and Tony

Lovely few days away

We stayed for 4 nights during the second week in November. Great location. Loved being so close to the beach and listening to the sea. The bungalow was warm and cosy, although it was particularly mild for time of year, we didn’t need the electric heaters, the Economy 7 storage heater did the job just fine. Well equipped, there was everything we needed for our stay. Very good comms with Caroline and Tony. Would definitely recommend.

Pretty amazing little place in an idyllic spot.

If I write a favourable review then it may encourage more people to book this wonderful little cottage in paradise (whoops!) and then when I want to return, it will likely be booked. So I won’t tell you how two of the bedrooms and the lounge have stunning views of the sea and most nights we watched amazing sunsets instead of the telly. I won’t tell you the kitchen has every convenience to cook Sunday roasts if necessary so you could stay hold up for weeks. I won’t tell you our little cocker spaniel thought it had died and gone to heaven being able to chase seagulls (safely) all day and every day. Instead I would like you to focus on the negative, the toilet roll holder in the bathroom is very inconveniently placed, it was a real pain in the…..

A lovely location for anyone wanting to get away from it all. Good accommodation, a nice pebble beach (sandy further out). The front of the house is a sun trap in the afternoon and evening, while the rear has sun most of the day thanks to its elevated position.

About the host

Hosted by Caroline & Tony Regan

Host profile image
We live in Birmingham, England and I was in International Affairs at Birmingham University, where I was employed for twenty years. We have two grown-up sons and three grandchildren and we all visit several times per year. The bungalow has been owned by our family for over 70 years. During that time it has been extensively modernised, whilst retaining some of its original features and character. We never tire of visiting!

Why they chose this property

It's pretty unique!! Seals, porpoises and dolphins are regular visitors and, quite unexpectedly in August '22, an Orca Killer Whale visited for a couple of days! We do have a short video. Let's hope it returns. It's also great for bird watching and for lovers of nature. Some of our visitors take kayaks (you will see one of our regular visitors in our photos). Added to these benefits, our visitors can fish from the beach and often enjoy eating their catch!)

What makes this property unique

Our property in North Wales has been inspected and approved for quality and safety by the Welsh Tourist Board. It has wonderful views over the beach and towards the mountains and at the back, there are fields with distant views of Snowdon. Because of the pollution free environment, on a clear night the stars are truly spectacular!
