Cowshed in Cilan near Abersoch | Must-See Gwynedd Hot Tub Cottage

About Cowshed

The Cowshed is a stone-built single-story cottage in Cilan near Abersoch, Gwynedd. This converted farm building sits in a spectacular spot with panoramic views across to Snowdonia and overlooks both Hellsmouth and Abersoch bay. The owners, Lisa and Willem, have created paths through their 14 acres of land leading to a peaceful pond where you can watch local wildlife.

Located just 0.6 miles from the beach, the Cowshed offers the perfect base for exploring the Ll?n Peninsula. Sandy beaches stretch in both directions within walking distance. Dog walkers will love the private enclosed garden and numerous coastal paths. After a day of beach-hopping or countryside rambling, you can soak your tired muscles in the shared hot tub (though it costs extra - worth it after seeing your partner struggle up those coastal hills).

The accommodation features an open-plan living space with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and sitting area with a woodburning stove. The bedroom boasts a super-king-size bed that guests consistently rave about - "the biggest and most comfortable bed we have slept in" with "luxurious bedding and pillows." The modern shower room includes a walk-in shower, basin and WC.

Nearby attractions include Abersoch (2.5 miles, 8 minutes) with its harbor and shops, Hell's Mouth beach (1 mile, 5 minutes) known for surfing, Llanbedrog Beach (4 miles, 12 minutes) with its colorful beach huts and Porth Neigwl (1.2 miles, 6 minutes) offering dramatic coastal views.

The Cowshed is perfect for couples seeking a peaceful retreat with their dogs. Spotlessly clean accommodation with helpful hosts who respect your privacy make this a standout choice. The hot tub is just the cherry on top!

Is Cowshed Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

The Cowshed is better suited for couples rather than families with children. While it does offer a cot and highchair if needed, the single-bedroom layout limits space for kids. The 14 acres of land with paths and pond offer outdoor exploration opportunities. Nearby beaches provide family-friendly activities, but the romantic setting and layout make this more ideal for adults.

For Couples

The Cowshed is perfect for couples seeking a peaceful retreat. The super-king bed gets rave reviews for comfort. The woodburning stove creates a cosy atmosphere for evenings in. Add stunning views across to Snowdonia and the option of a hot tub and you've got all the ingredients for a romantic break away from it all.

Pet Friendly

Dogs will love the Cowshed! The enclosed garden keeps them safe while the 14 acres of private land with walking paths gives them space to explore. Just 0.6 miles from dog-friendly beaches and coastal paths. The owners are dog lovers themselves and welcome up to two dogs (£50 for first, £60 for second).

Lesley

Lovely cottage with wonderful views in a quiet peaceful location but still near enough to visit Abersoch and Phllwelli and local secluded beaches. Great for walkingexploring. Very restful holiday. Enclosed garden great for dog. Lisa was very welcoming and accommodating and information sheets very useful. Maybe another one explaining how to use the Smart TV for luddites like us but otherwise absolutely great and would definitely recommend. Welcome gift of eggs and Welsh Cakes much appreciated too!

It was a lovely place to stay with a 5 star hotel feel bed. Lisa was a lovely host. Would have no problems recommending the Cowshed.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cow shed, the owners were very friendly and helpful. The surrounding area is stunning, the owners have made little paths through fields to a delightful pond where we sat watching all the wildlife. The location is perfect for all amenities and beautiful secluded beaches, we would highly recommended a stay at the cow shed.

Really great little holiday cottage, the owners are really friendly, helpful and want you to have a great holiday. The cottage itself is a great space, super clean and has everything you need for a week away and the bed is comfy! The location is brilliant for exploring and within walking distance to the Abersoch and nearby beaches. Cant wait to go back here again! Thanks again for a wonderful stay

Fantastic place and setting, overlooking Hellsmouth and Abersoch bay, Great walks in the area and lots of excellent eateries. Our hosts at the Cowsheds were brilliant, couldn't have been more helpful throughout our stay.
