Bwthyn Siop Pencaerau Reviews

Wonderful cottage, great host. One of our favourites, we are repeat visitors.
Lovely quaint and peaceful cottage that used to be a Dairy.
Whats not to like? Clean, comfortable, warm, well equipped. Good shower and parking outside the kitchen door. Everything was fine including the welcome pack and Carol next door who was unobtrusive but helpful if required.

Catriona
Great value for money, beautiful location, great host and the best hot tub ever! A little gem of a cottage.
Robert
A very comfortable cottage in a location that enabled us to achieve all that we wanted out of our stay.
We enjoyed our 4 night winter break in the cottage, which was warm, clean and comfortable. The oil central heating was easily controllable and kept the property as warm as we wanted it to be. We only used the log burner once and found it easy to use. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of water pressure in the shower. James was a friendly and helpful host.
Lovely cottage with everyrhing you need. Hot tub is fantastic. Great hosts too. Lots to do even in winter in a part of the country we rarely get too see

Lovely Cottage in a great location. Everything you need for your stay. Loved the Hot tub and log burner. Great way to spend New Year.
A really enjoyable three night stay at this property. A warm welcome by Carol plus surprising little treats in the house on arrival. We would certainly be ready to stay there again in the future sometime.
Hannah
We had the best time at the cottage. The location is perfect for exploring the Llyn Peninsular. The cottage itself had everything we needed and was really cosy. We enjoyed the hot tub very much and took walks on the coastal path and to Aberdaron. We would absolutely come again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in this area.
Carol and family go out of their way to make this cottage so lovely. The extra touches. The welcome goodies. The fire ready to be lit. You can walk the coastal path from the door. The cycle routes are on the doorstep too. And to finish the day in the hot tub is always a bonus. Highly recommend staying here. A beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

Christopher
Lovely cottage perfect for a couple to get away and relax , location is peaceful , we really enjoyed our stay and would come back. Cottage has everything you need and the hot tub was fabulous . Also the ability to charge the car was fantastic.
Such a beautiful cozy cottage. The owners made us so welcome. Their welcome package was so thoughtful too. We loved walking from the front door to the coastal path which was a bonus. The other added bonus was the hot tub. It was so lovely to have especially after a long day of walking. We have already booked to return in the summer and will be bringing our bikes to explore further. 1010
Stuart
Me and my partner couldn't get enough of this stunning cottage. The owner was a lovely lady and showed us around, demonstrated how to operate the hot tub and told us about some of the local spots to visit before handing over the keys. The cottage itself was really nice inside with a decentlysized bedroom and a nicelyoutfitted adjoining bathroom. There is a wood burner in the living room which we declined to use during our stay but there is also central heating which nicely cooks the place in a few short minutes. The bed was comfortable enough, though a bit springier than I'm used to. We used the hot tub in the dead of night and it was amazing. Honestly, I couldn't fault the place and would absolutely consider staying there again.
Beautiful romantic cottage, lovely and clean, all mod cons, loved the hot tub, lovely location, cannot recommend it highly enough. The lady next door who owns the cottage was lovely and couldn't be more helpful. Will definitely come back.
Catriona
Absolutely perfect cottage for two. The host is amazing and provides lots of little extras that most dont think of. The hot tub is fantastic and location is great with access to beautiful beaches within walking distance. Our second visit and we fully intend to come back!
Mackenzie
Amazing cottage with lovely facilities. The owner went above and beyond leaving little treats to welcome us into the cottage with . Cottage was lovely and clean and hot tub was a great addition. Would definitely come again
Elizabeth
Absolutely loved staying here we were made very welcome and what a beautiful area too. We thought it was a great little annexe which had everything we needed for a few days away. The only improvement that would have made it perfect is to change the mattress on the bed. It is very soft and bouncy and not very comfortable to sleep on. Thank you for a great time away from all the hustle of normal life though, just what is needed and we hope to come back again in June too.
Absolutely loved our stay. The cottage is beautifully quirky. Decorated well and very clean. It had everything we needed. The log burner heats the cottage really well and it feels so cosy. The hot tub on a clear night is honestly the most amazing addition. Plenty of walks and views right on the doorstop. Friendly hosts there if you need them. Wouldn't hesitate to return here.
Catriona
The property was perfect, spotlessly clean, a wonderful welcome pack on arrival and the host was kind, friendly and not at all intrusive. Extra towels and blankets, a stove full of wood and firefighters made us feel very welcome. The hot tub is absolutely fabulous! The location is wonderful with easy access to many beaches. There was nothing to fault about this cottage, a perfect retreat for two. We will certainly return!
Everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.
Lovely property, very good hot tub, basically everything you need.
We had a lovely holiday in this lovely cottage. Character beams, wood burner. Hot tub too which was a real feature of our stay. Friendly and helpful host who lived next door which was good.
Elizabeth
Lovely little cottage, clean and comfortable. Thanks for our stay here in the Llyn.
Gillian
We enjoyed our stay immensely at Bwthyn Siop Pencaerau. This beautiful, cosy cottage, which is of historical interest as well, had all the amenities we needed. The hot tub was a bonus and much appreciated of course. The surrounding coast and landscape is matchless in its beauty. We recommend a boat trip to Ynys Enlli, the beaches at Morfa Nefyn and Porthdinllaen, Glyn Plas y Weddw art gallery, Plas yn Rhiw, and Aberdaron itself which has retained it's Welshness. Diolch Clare a James am y croeso cynnes. Thank you Clare and James for the warm welcome.
Lovely cottage in lovely peaceful surroundings
This is a compact characterful well converted comfortable cottage well located in beautiful countryside but close to the amenities of Aberdaron. The king size bed, power shower , and woodburning stove are all notably user friendly , and Carole the owner was friendly and helpful. Many thanks.
Malcolm
Lovely clean, comfortable and well equipped compact cottage in beautiful rural location. Really pleased to have the electric car charger available. Type 2, so don't forget an adapter if your car takes type 1. And a hot tub to watch the sunset in. We had a wonderful week. Excellent, helpful host. We really appreciated the change of towels midweek! A few small things. Can we suggest a blind or curtains over the small window on the stairs? The bright sunrise woke us at 430am! Mattress on the soft side for us, but understand that's just personal preference. And no 2 pin shaver socket. Would be useful if an adapter was provided. We had to go and buy one. Recommended!
We can thoroughly recommend this beautiful cottage. The location is superb , ideal for a peaceful stay. The cottage was clean , comfortable and had everything you could want . The hot tub was a relaxing bonus. We would certainly consider a return trip . Anne and Mike
Heather
Lovely location, lovely property. Well equipped Kitchen and very clean. Carole was a lovely host, bringing us fresh towels mid week. Nice walks and very quiet.
Arrived with a warm welcome and tour. Absolutely beautiful cottage, home from home with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful setting and views. Carol recommended places to visit which was stunning. Beautiful walks for miles along the coast. We can honestly say we will definitely return. We are parents and work full time and we have never felt so relaxed. Thank you
We had a lovely 9 day holiday in this very comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage. The log burner was great in the evening and gave a cosy ambience to our experience. After a day visiting the surrounding attractions the hot tub was very welcome treat and so relaxing. I highly recommend Bwthyn Siop Pencaerau for a relaxing and friendly holiday.
Amanda
Lovely little cottage for a couple to spend some time together in front of a log fire or under the dark sky. We would and probably will book again.
