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.

Thank you for taking the time to write a lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed our property and its beach location during the winter. We do hope to welcome you back sometime in the future. Kind regards, Caroline and Tony
A beautiful location for a relaxing break right on the beach. We would advise having a car as access to the wider area might be tricky without one. We would definitely return to this property as everything was seamless. A great holiday!

Hi Emma
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are so pleased that you had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed our bungalow and its location.
Kind regards, Caroline and Tony
This is a lovely clean and comfortable cottage right on the beach, the host was very efficient friendly and amenable and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending to others - in fact we have already done so!
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

You’ve captured the very essence of Aberdesach Beach! Thank you for a lovely, sensitive review. We hope you’ll return one day. Kind regards, Caroline and Tony
All the family lived staying here. Great to watch the waves and the tides of the sea. A really interesting beach to explore that changed every day too.
It was lovely and peaceful when we visited and we'll placed to visit many of the attractions in North Wales. I'm sure that we will stay again.

We have just returned from a lovely week’s family holiday. Location is amazing regardless of the weather, beautiful views and kids loved exploring in the rock pools and swimming in the sea. Very well equipped holiday home, had everything you could need. Hosts communication was excellent. We have already booked for next year and can’t wait!

Dear Tara
Thank you for your lovely review! We are very pleased that you really enjoyed your family holiday and delighted that you have already booked for next year. It took us back to our own boys who loved turning stones over in the rock pools and looking for crabs and little fish. We are happy to say that our grandchildren do exactly the same!
Kind regards, Caroline and Tony
This was our second stay here and we had another fabulous family holiday. The accommodation has everything you could need and more. With the beach right on your doorstep and amazing scenery, the kids had a ball playing in rock pools and swimming in the sea. We will definitely be back in future.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
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.

Dear Jennifer
What a great review! Reading through it, prospective guests get a wonderful, descriptive feel for Aberdesach and our beach bungalow. Thank you so much - hope you and your family will wish to return one day. Kind regards Caroline and Tony
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.

Dear Jason,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your positive comments. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and am sorry that you found some negatives. All the points in question were highlighted in the property details and in the photos. The property has been owned by one family for many years and with considerable investment, is regularly maintained and upgraded within local authority regulations. We have many returning guests who appreciate the facilities and wonderful location.
Kind regards

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

Thank you for writing a lovely review Adam. We are very pleased you had such a good holiday. Hope you'll return one day to do those high trails! Kind regards Caroline and Tony
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.

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…..

funny review and for deciding to share your experience with others! We do hope that we may welcome you and your family back in the future. Kind regards, Caroline and Tony
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. This is good walking country and spectacular scenery right on your doorstep.

About the host
Hosted by Caroline & Tony Regan
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!
