Enjoy this wonderful modern take on a barn conversion in Abererch with a private hot tub and far-reaching views across the surrounding coast and countryside. This beautifully designed property includes a vibrant and contemporary-styled open plan kitchen/living area with high ceilings, flame-effect log burner and Smart TV, two welcoming bedrooms with flexing sleeping options for family and friends as well as a stylish bathroom with subtle coastal themes. As you step out the French doors onto the raised decking area you'll find ample outdoor seating, a private hot tub sheltered by a large wooden gazebo and views out to sea as far as Harlech Castle. 

The unspoilt Abererch beach, backed by soft sand dunes and surrounded by wonderful views of Cardigan Bay and Snowdonia, is just a 5-minute walk from The Stables via a footpath opposite the property. Stretching all the way round to Pwllheli, it’s popular for activities including windsurfing, diving and sailing. Pwllheli's vibrant harbour town, just a short drive away, is known as 'the unofficial capital of the Llyn Peninsula' and every Wednesday it plays host to the largest outdoor market in North Wales. There's a lovely selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes in the town as well as a fairground (mainly open during Spring/Summer), amusement arcade and art gallery. In the opposite direction, is the small, picturesque village of Criccieth. Here you can find all the amenities you will need for a joyful stay including local eateries, the historic ruins if Criccieth Castle as well as paddle board and kayak hire. Slightly further afield are the breath-taking sights at Snowdonia National Park and the enchanting and romantic Italianate style village of Portmeirion.

The Stables has been adapted to a wonderful standard, it sits within a lovely position with wonderful views. The donkeys are also a highlight and we're lovely to feed and pet. Kate was our favourite and liked to boop noses with our Bella through the fence.

The location makes for a great base to explore so many wonderful beaches and other such walks. Everything we needed was catered for and the welcome goodies were greatly recieved. John and Dawn were wonderful hosts very friendly and welcoming. It truly felt like home from home. We will be sure to return and wish them every success for their own home renovations, which if are anything like the stable renovation with be wonderful! Thanks to you both for a relaxing and superb stay! :) Hide

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the stables which is a wonderful property. The owners Dawn and John have done a fantastic conversion and set you up with everything you need. The Hot tub is an added extra for me, you can sit and unwind to take in the views at the end of the day after exploring north Wales. Having the Donkeys and Sheep next to us Read morewas also very engaging for our 7yr old and she enjoyed feeding them. We also took our dog and found the environment to be very safe for him, the owners were also very kind in looking after him while we have a couple of trips. I cannot thank the owners enough for being so welcoming and for being wonderful hosts Hide

The Stables was well set up for our weeks stay with 3 adults and our medium sized dog. The garden is well secured to ensure our furry friend was able to roam with no chance of escape, and had loads of space to wander, sniff and get to know the sheep, lambs and friendly donkeys. The outdoor decking area with comfy seats was an excellent place to reRead morelax after a long day exploring, before we made use of the hot tub just as the sun was setting. There is a sea view from there if the weather is kind. For star gazers, the garden is a brilliant spot to see a full dark sky experience with the naked eye, just a shame we missed the Aurora which was visible across the UK on the night we had departed. The rooms were a good size, and had very comfy beds. The bathroom with separate shower or bath options was also a decent size. The only thing to be aware of is the stairs down between the various levels, as the property has been adapted brilliantly from what were previously disconnected stables and animal shelters. This was an excellent base for us to explore the coasts of North Wales and Anglesey, as well as allowing easy access into the heart of Snowdonia. The owners were very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and gave us all a very warm welcome. The tip to visit Nant Gwrtheyrn (The Lost Village) near Nefyn was one we would never have thought of and well worth the trip down the very steep road. There is a car park with caf right in the village so no need to park at the top, but take care in wet and winter, as getting back out the 25% gradient would be difficult. Nefyn beach is also well worth a visit at the right tide times. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants in Pwllheli as well as a good sized beach for the dog if needed. We would highly recommend this property which is suitable for 4 adults and a pet, and is at the standard to be expected for this price range. Thanks for allowing us to make use of your wonderful holiday home for the week, and we cant wait to return. Hide
