The converted barn located in Rhiw, Gwynedd, Wales, is a modern and bright accommodation that can comfortably sleep up to eight guests. It is ideal for families, walkers, surfers, and outdoor enthusiasts, thanks to its proximity to Rhiw mountain and the long sandy beach at Porth Neigwl, also known as Hell’s Mouth. The property is conveniently situated within walking distance of the Plas yn Rhiw manor house and garden, making it a perfect base for exploring the area.
Upon entering the barn, guests are welcomed into a hall that leads to a well-equipped kitchen with a dining area and a living room. The layout includes a separate toilet, a family bathroom with a separate shower, and a corridor that leads to the bedrooms. The sleeping arrangements consist of a quad room with four single beds, a master bedroom located up a small flight of stairs, and an additional double bedroom that features a door leading to an external stone staircase. Outside, there is a large garden shared with the adjacent Ty’n y Parc Farmhouse, but guests will have their own patio furniture for outdoor dining.
Just a short walk from the cottage is the stunning beach at Porth Neigwl, which offers four miles of sand and pebble shore, perfect for walking and surfing. The nearest pub and shops are located four miles away in Aberdaron, with Abersoch slightly further offering a variety of water sports. For a more bustling experience, the market town of Pwllheli is home to the closest supermarket, along with numerous shops, cafés, and pubs, ideal for leisurely afternoons.
Guests can immerse themselves in the breathtaking landscapes of this unique corner of Wales by hiking up Mynydd Mawr at Uwchmynydd for panoramic views, visiting beautiful beaches and coves, or exploring ancient iron age hillforts. The Wales Coast Path offers ample opportunities for wildlife watching, featuring species such as the red-billed chough and bottlenose dolphins. Additionally, staying at this property contributes to the preservation of the remarkable Llŷn Peninsula and its coastline.
