This delightful, detached cottage, Gilfach, is settled on the westerly edge of Abersoch. Savouring sea views over the St Tudwals Islands and nestled in a prime location to enjoy all that the Llŷn Peninsula has to offer, Gilfach is a splendid setting for a family or group of seven’s adventure in Abersoch. The property provides guests with ample off-road parking for three cars and a boat, so you can take advantage of Abersoch’s fantastic sailing conditions. Upon entering the dwelling, you will be pleased to find a vibrant open-plan living space, adorned with calming blues and greens; kick off your shoes and gather on the leather sofa as the TV plays and the fire crackles away in the background. After enjoying a show via the vast range available on the smart TV, move through the space to the eclectic kitchen, with blue tiled walls complimenting white fittings, along with a fantastic selection of integrated appliances. From here, you will also find a handy utility, perfect for freshening up your wardrobe between activities. When dinner is ready, enjoy it at the connecting breakfast bar or the colourful dining table, where you can open a bottle of bubbly to celebrate this coastal getaway. After relaxing amongst the bubbles in the stylish, ground-floor bathroom, choose between two bedrooms on this floor to rest in; a charming single or double. Head upstairs to find two more bedrooms, a spacious double decorated with a nautical theme, with a door connecting to the twin room; ideal for a family with little ones. The rooms not only share an appealing shower room, but they benefit from a first-floor snug with bean bags, a TV and a selection of books and games to enjoy. The rear garden is the perfect spot to dine alfresco as the kids and furry friend play on the vast lawn. A leisurely stroll takes you to the centre of Abersoch, where you can enjoy excellent food at the range of eateries available, including The Vaynol Pub and Fresh Bar & Grill, as well as purchase any necessities from the well-stocked convenience stores; the village is home to two fabulous beaches, one being the Abersoch Harbour Beach where you can unwind as you watch the boats sail out to the sea, or set sail yourself if you’ve brought a boat! Be sure to embark on the Llanbedrog Headland Circular Walk, a route that takes you through a mixture of clifftop, woodland and heathland scenery; afterwards, reward yourself with a visit to Llanbedrog’s Plas Glyn y Weddw Gallery with its contemporary pieces and on-site café, or with a rest on the village’s popular beach. The next stop is Pwllheli, where you can pay a visit to the Marina and sailing event area, enjoy a tournament at the clubs of Llŷn Golf or Pwllheli Golf Club and finish the day with a meal at the gastropub of Whitehall. A variety of activities await within the Llŷn Peninsula, from walking the Coastal Paths, birdwatching in Mynydd, biking the ample cycleways and more. For a relaxing break with all the family, choose Gilfach.
