Beudy-Efailnewydd is a beautiful barn conversion with fantastic outdoor space. Located on the edge of a small village just a couple of miles from Pwllheli, it comes with big rural views and a distinctly peaceful soundtrack. There is a magnificent wood-fired hot tub in the garden, and the cottage is pet-friendly.
A single-storey cottage, Beudy-Efailnewydd sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms. It is a gorgeous little getaway on the edge of the small village of Efailnewydd (the eagle-eyed among you might see where the cottage got its name). The village is home to Pwllheli rugby club and cricket ground.
The cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the coastal towns of Pwllheli, Abersoch, and Criccieth, and the many lovely beaches and bays of Pen Llyn. There are some great walks to be had along the Wales Coast Path, and it is just a short hop to some of the regions best attractions including Portmeirion, Zip World, and the Welsh Highland Steam Railway.
There's no doubt that this beautiful barn conversion with fantastic outdoor space comes with some serious wow factor. It's gorgeous. Recently restored to a very high standard, it is bright and inviting, packed full of original features, and beautifully presented throughout. It is perfect for a romantic getaway, a family break, or a relaxed holiday with friends.
The accommodation includes a very attractive living room with exposed stonework & and wood-effect flooring. Two supremely comfortable sofas and a couple of plump armchairs are arranged around a toasty wood burning stove. It's a lovely relaxing space. There is a smart TV, and fibre broadband connection.
The kitchen is another beautiful room, featuring a gas range cooker, American fridge-freezer and Belfast sink, as well as smart wooden worktops, dark tiled flooring, exposed beams, and more characterful exposed stonework. There is a dining table to seat six, and it is equipped with all the kit and caboodle you could possibly need.
There are three comfortable bedrooms in this beautiful barn conversion with fantastic outdoor space - one king size, one double, and a twin. All of the bedrooms are really dreamy, and stylishly presented with traditional Welsh tapestry throws and cushions. There is a shared bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk in shower, which - in keeping with the rest of the cottage - has been recently renovated to a very high standard.
To the rear of this beautiful barn conversion with fantastic outdoor space is a large enclosed rear garden with dining furniture and a couple of separate seating areas on the lawn. A wonderful Scandinavian style wood burning hot tub looks out across rolling countryside to the mountains beyond, and there is a barbecue. It's a really lovely sociable outdoor space. To the front of the cottage, there is another lawned garden and plenty of parking for cars.
Pen Llyn - the Llyn Peninsula - is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and one of Britain's oldest pilgrimage routes. On both counts it's not hard to see why.
An exceptional and dramatic shoreline of coves, cliffs, bays, secret sandy beaches, offshore islands and stacks, wild beating waves - it's a picture of what an idyllic coastal wilderness might look like.
The cottage is around two miles inland from the much-loved seaside town of Pwllheli. This is a real maritime town, with a large marina and sailing community, and some great sandy beaches. You'll find plenty of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars, and there are a couple of large supermarkets if you need to replenish your stores whilst you're there.
Head around six miles in the other direction - and to the other coast of Pen Llyn- and you'll arrive at Porthdinllaen near Nefyn. It's home to a beautifully sheltered sandy bay and what is consistently voted one of the best bars in the world - the Ty Coch Inn. An idyllic place for a pint and a ploughman's, but do check opening times before you visit. There's also a very decent craft brewery and tap room - Cwrw Llyn - in the town.
The charming coastal village of Criccieth is around 10 miles away, with its traditional Welsh tearooms, some great places to eat out, as well as some very decent fish and chips. Expect attractive independent shops and some very browsable galleries and antiques. There's even a traditional Welsh clog maker who still has his workshop in the town. Oh, and a medieval castle to watch over it all. It's a great place to explore.
This beautiful barn conversion with fantastic outdoor space is a short drive from some great family activities and adventures, including the petting zoo at Dwyfor Ranch Rabbit Farm (10 miles), Glasfryn Parc with its karting and wakeboarding centre (7 miles), and Bounce Below, Zip World and Llechwedd slate mine at Blaenau Ffestiniog (30 miles).
For slightly more grown-up days out, head to Portmeirion and its Italian style fantasy village (18 miles), or Harlech with its steep winding streets and UNESCO-listed 13th century fortress (25 miles). Or how about a day out on a steam railway? The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railway are a splendid way to see North Wales, with regular departures from Porthmadog (15.5 miles). Abersoch, with its surf, buzzing bistros, bars, boutiques and beaches, is around seven miles away.
