Hafod Y Llyn is perched in the stunning Welsh countryside of Treflys, near Morfa Bychan in Gwynedd. Close to the majestic Eryri National Park, this tranquil retreat allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Take a seat in the living/dining room, complete with an open fire, Smart TV and a selection of books for a cosy night in, or step out into the enclosed rear garden and take in the fresh Welsh air with a spot of alfresco dining, courtesy of the patio furniture. There are two comfortable bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – both with underfloor heating to keep you warm throughout your stay. The kitchen is well-equipped with an electric double oven, induction hob, fridge, freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, while a bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin and WC completes the property. Off-road parking for two cars is available and one well-behaved dog is welcome (additional fees apply). Venture out to the nearby Morfa Bychan, just two miles away, an area rich in history, with its long expanse of beach sand backed by dunes. Here you’ll find the majestic Harlech Castle, or if you’d prefer, take a short drive to Porthmadog and take yourself along the cobbled streets to the harbour for panoramic views across the Snowdonia National Park. For a day out, why not drive slightly further to Criccieth, a seaside town with a castle perching atop a cliff face or journey to the town of Caernarfon, brimming with attractions such as the Caernarfon Castle, Segontium Roman Fort and the National Slate Museum. Return to Hafod Y Llyn and savour the tranquil Welsh countryside, allowing your getaway to Wales to be one to remember.
The lovely village of Morfa Bychan is situated within a short stroll of the spectacular beach at Black Rock Sands, and is home to a local store, pub, fish and chip shop, a Post Office and an excellent 18 hole golf course. Just 2 miles away, set on the picturesque Glaslyn Estuary, is the bustling harbour town of Porthmadog, boasting an array of individual shops and restaurants, whilst being home to the Ffestiniog Railway and Welsh Highland Railway, where you can travel by steam train through the spectacular Snowdonia scenery. The village of Tremadog is close by with its pubs and restaurant, plus the pretty village of Borth-y-Gest, with its cliffs and coves, is within a short drive, while the celebrated and unique Italianate village of Portmeirion is within easy touring distance. Discover the majestic castles at nearby Criccieth, Harlech and Caernarfon, explore the slate caverns at Llechwedd, or try a day of sea, course, or game fishing in the area. An ideal location for enjoying all the attractions of Snowdonia and the beautiful Llyn Peninsula.

The setting is so lovely and peaceful - and the views are amazing! A couple of things that could make it even better. The garden needs more chairs - only 2 for 4 people. An outside washing line would be really useful. The wifi is actually a 4G dongle rather than a WiFi network. It gives very poor coverage. It would be useful to know that in advance, in case someone was hoping to work from there.

Much bigger than expected and so lovely. Weather wasnât good but we were more than happy staying at the cottage. The steps to the kitchen are steep so you do have to be careful. A little handrail would help. Would definitely like to go back.
