Castell in Abersoch | Must-See Gwynedd Hot Tub Cottage

About Castell

Castell is a fantastic detached cottage in Abersoch on the Llyn Peninsula in Wales. Just a short walk from golden sandy beaches, this 4-bedroom property offers perfect accommodation for families or groups of 8 looking to explore the Welsh coast. The location is unbeatable - close enough to hear the waves but far enough for peace and quiet.

The property sits in a prime spot with incredible views of the harbour beach and bay. On clear days, you can even see Snowdonia from the rear seating area. The viewing platform above the house is brilliant for sunset drinks (just watch your step after a few glasses of wine). Abersoch's shops, restaurants and golden beach are minutes away. Perfect for paddling, sunbathing or exploring cliff-top walks.

Inside you'll find two sitting rooms (one with a woodburner), a modern fully-equipped kitchen and four bedrooms upstairs. The sleeping arrangements include two doubles with en-suite shower rooms and two twins, plus a family bathroom. There's plenty of space for everyone to spread out when you need a break from your in-laws.

Nearby attractions include Abersoch Golf Club (1 mile), Pwllheli with its marina and beaches (6 miles), Cricceith with its castle (12 miles) and the famous Portmeirion village (18 miles). For mountain lovers, Snowdonia National Park is just 40 minutes away.

The private hot tub is the cherry on top - nothing beats relaxing in bubbling water after a day of beach adventures at Castell.

Castell Reviews

Good base and location close to Abersoch town centre, and for exploring the coastal and surrounding area.

Andrew

Stunning house in fantastic location. Comfortable and well equipped. Towels being provided was an added bonus and the 3 external seating areas were unbelievable. Best house we have stayed after visiting Abersoch annually sometimes more than once a year for 20 years. Already booked Castell for next year!

Lovely house to stay in for the week. We had 5 adults, 2 children and 1 dog and there was plenty of space and comfortable. Fantastic view from the top decking. Great location close to the harbour beach which is good for paddle boarding510 min walk to the village centre 1215 min walk to Abersoch main beach. Overall we had a superb week staying at Castell.

Absolutely loved the house, everything we needed was there. Loved the outside areas with decking areas a barbecue and a hot tub which were all used extensively as the weather was superb.Kitchen was well equipped. There was loads of space for our group which was 5x adults and a dalmatian. This would be our house of choice with future stays in abersoch

Bethan

We had an amazing stay at Castell over Christmas. It was a perfect location for a family Christmas by the beach. It is well set up for guests and everything has been thought of. The viewing platform above the house was a great addition although you needed to watch your step this was down to the weather conditions. There was an issue at the property during our stay and our hosts were great and communicated quickly which we didnt expect given it was 23rd December!. The oven gloves need to be replacedbring your own and there was some small areas of black spot mould but given the poor weather wed had and the business of this property, Im not surprised and it didnt take away from our stay. Would highly recommend and we look forward to coming back at some point.

Joanna

This property had a mixed review from us Check out 10am was too early and check in 4pm was a little late youre virtually missing 2 days. We think 12 noon check out in the quieter months is fair and a 2pm check in. You were also expecting us to wash and clean everything before leaving .

Bernie

Loved the location of Castell, it really was a very short walk to ther beach. This beach however is contantly visited by tractors, taking boats onto and off thre beach, and storing the boat 'trollies' for transport! Some holiday makers had to move to make room for the contraptions! However a nearby beach was much quieter, and could vbe accessed on foot, or a short drive. Castell was a comfortable property, and suited our family mix well. The property was well supplied with kitchen equipment, and utensils, we had everything we needed. The only criticism I had wsas the cleaning of thre property, did lack attention to detail. Behind furniture Sofa was found to be very dusty with cobwebs. The areas around skirting boards were also not well cleaned. Shower cubicles showed signs of mould and could have been better cleaned. We did have a very good stay, despite the weather, just need to make sure your cleaners do a better job!

Sophie

Fantastic location, facilities and lovely spacious property very comfortable. Owners were very helpful and would 100 book again. Thank you for a lovely stay

Highly recommended to anyone. Hosts were very friendly and communication 1st class.

Great Family House in Abersoch

A wonderful holiday home in Abersoch. Great location - just across the road from a sandy beach and a 10 minute walk into the town. Four good sized bedrooms - two with en-suite facilities and a large family bathroom. Small little room off main bedroom with a travel cot. Downstairs, well fitted kitchen, large main room with dinning table and settees, easy chairs etc. A further smaller sitting room. Also a downstairs toilet - very handy! Outside there are three great areas with tables and chairs?and the hot tub! Overall a great family house in an ideal location!

Castell Abersoch

Such a wonderful few days away in a perfect property . Excellent location , only a stones throw to the beach and village centre where there are an abundance of lovely shops and restaurants to browse . The house was spotless and the outdoor seating areas a real bonus meaning we had plenty of space to relax . We loved the hot tub and we will definitely return to Castell in the near future .

Revisit

Just got back from 2nd stay in a year! Just before and after lockdown! Love the house, so convenient for the beach and village, new fencing has been installed next to the hot tub for more privacy, very clean and the beds are so comfortable, hopefully will be back again in the near future

Good and bad

A lovely spacious house with plenty facilities for a large group, let down by the grubby state of the place. Smeared glass and light switches, dusty mirrors and window sills, dead flies on shelves and worst of all, the oven was disgusting. On the plus side, the house is very central to the village of Abersoch and the beach, but is adjacent to the main road. The hot tub was lovely and clean, but next to the bin store with very little privacy. On balance, although we had a great holiday, we probably wouldn't have booked it if we had known all the points above and would have chosen somewhere else.

Nicola

Lovely property, clean and comfortable. The log burner and hot tub really made it. Would definitely rebook in the future. The only minor concerns were the carpets on the stairs and landing could do with a deep clean along with shower units. Also a canopy over the hot tub would have been great. Highly recommend

We very much enjoyed our stay at Castell which is a lovely, well appointed and spacious property. A few minutes walk takes you into town but there are restaurants and a cafe closer too. Level access to the harbour and Warren beach at low tide but a few minutes walk up the hill towards Pwllheli takes you to the sand dunes access to the Warren beach which is great for early morning dog walks.

Suzanne

Lovely, central property overlooking Abersoch harbour. The hot tub was an added bonus! Well worth a stay.

Christine

We had an amazing time at this Beautiful cottage. Everything you need. The hot tub was great and the location perfect. Bed linen and towels were perfect. Like a 5 star hotel. Will definitely be back

Robert

We consider this property to be ideally located for Abersoch centre and the harbour beach. At low tide the Warren beach is accessible. The property has had a number of internal improvements since last year and is well equipped. We found it to be very clean, neat and tidy on arrival.

We had a lovely week at this cottage. Lovely position on the outskirts of Abersoch but only a short walk into the village centre. The front garden is a sun trap which was great. The hot tub was a big bonus, it was very well maintained and lovely and warm. Easy to use. Cottage is very well equipped, clean and well maintained. We had 1 question which was quickly answered in an email from the owner. We would highly recommend a stay here.

We had a fantastic stay at the dog friendly, comfortable and wellequipped Castell. It has everything that makes it a home from home. The situation is across the road from a beach and a short 10 minute walk from the town amenities. The local bus runs frequently with a bus stop 25m away from the front door. The hot tub in the garden was a joy and the high lookout gave wonderful sea views. Thanks for having us.

Alison

Amazing location and lovely house. . just couldnt find a clothes horse which would of been useful for when the weather isnt great for drying apart from that amazing!!

Elizabeth

Castell is a lovely house, beautifully presented and with excellent facilities. Turn left from the property and after a few minutes walk is the Warren beach and turning right from Castell is the lovely village of Abersoch with its shops, pubs and restaurants. The house was beautifully clean and warm with the extra benefit of a log burner. My daughter and partner used the hot tub one evening which they loved and it was also serviced by an engineer during our stay which is an excellent indication that the owner is aware of his obligations to visitors at his property. I cannot fault this property and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting to holiday in this beautiful part of the world.

Great location,lovely comfortable property. Spotless and with everything working. Hot tub added bonus. TV needs an upgrade and viewing needs to be comfortable for all in the lounge to see. Only disappointment was the lack of recycling facilities.

Absolutely gorgeous place , fabulous setting and all as described. The only little thing was that we couldnt use the hot tub until the second day as it had been cleaned and refilled . We waited until 0100 but it was still not up to temp . Everything else was lovely .

House was fine, location good. Hot tub was good. Although couple of frustrations that we couldnt have expected for the price we paid. No dishwasher tablets, very little toilet roll in each loo, so had to go straight out to buy extra. No egg cups. The main issue was that it could do with a really good clean, loads of dust and dirt under sofas, behind bedside cabinets etc. including old chocolate wrappers. As soon as you go to plug in a charger you see how dirty the place really was. Id also expect curtains that actually kept the light out, they were so cheap and thin they were useless, which made the whole place feel cheap.

Good location Spacious and well equipped house Good parking facilities

Carolynn

Lovely house, perfectly positioned in close proximity to the town of Abersoch and the beach. Easy access to the beach which was perfect at high tide for swimming and paddle boarding in shallow waters. We hope to return to explore more of North wales.

Robert

Overall the property is excellent providing everything you need for a good holiday. The location is very good with close access to beaches and local amenities.

Brilliant holiday home, in an ideal location

Great property with good facilities. Fantastic view from upper seating area and hot tub was great. Just across road from access to beach and a short walk into town. Would stay again.

Graham

Lovely cottage, pretty clean and tidy in general. Hot tub a bonus but could do with a roof wind shelter and next to the main road. Also, the adjoining property appears to have a shared access which we werent aware of. This was a problem as we have a small dog which can nip strangers when frightened. Could do with a decent mop too. All in all though a pleasant experience.

Robbert

The house was great for our needs, comfortable with 6 guests, hot tub was great, fantastic location too, maybe few more toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets would of been perfect but couldnt fault the place, would definitely recommend and book again Thanks Rob

ie-louise

There wasnt a shaving socket so we had to buy toothbrushes. Otherwise a very comfortable house.

Good sized cottage, very convenient for Abersoch village and beach across the road! Very clean and beds very comfortable! Had an excellent week as weather was good too! Will definitely rebook and recommend

Location was fantastic, couldn't ask for better. Plenty of parking and great size. Comfortably fit 6 adults and 1 dog. However, I think the cleanliness of the house could be improved. I won't go into too much detail, but we did have to do a bit of cleaning on arrival. Other than that, would recommend and personally we would go there again

Apart from from a few days of rain, we were very lucky with the weather and with the beach virtually on our doorstep, the Grandchildren loved spending time there. Castell Cottage was perfect for us with all the facilities that we needed plus an added hot tub too! We enjoyed several day trips to some great places including Barmouth & Portmeirion and overall our holiday in Abersoch was just brilliant in every way!
