We had a lovely week here in a Beautifully styled cozy cottage, well equipped and clean. Beds were like heaven to sleep in. Views around the area are breathtaking. Very quiet little village with not a lot going on, so you need transport to get around (unless you like that of course) great for a walking holiday.

Y Bryn is a sweet little cottage which is set on the Wales Coast Path so really fantastic to walk from straight up the hill and onto the open fields, it's also an easy walk down through the village onto the beach. Llwyngwil is a pretty village and there is a train that stops there and runs from Machynlleth to Pwllheli so amazing if you don't want tRead moreo use the car. Yvonne was very friendly and lives in the village and she kindly left us Welsh cakes and a pint of milk. Hide
