Is Cowshed Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
Cowshed is designed as a couple's retreat rather than a family property. It sleeps only two people in one super-king bedroom with no additional sleeping arrangements. The fourteen acres of grounds offer space for older children to explore and the nearby beaches provide entertainment. However, the cottage layout and capacity make it better suited to adult breaks.
For Couples
This cottage delivers proper romance. The super-king bed gets praised for hotel-quality comfort while the woodburning stove creates atmosphere in the evenings. Views stretch across Porth Neigwl to Snowdonia from your private position. The shared hot tub adds indulgence and secluded beaches sit within walking distance. Lisa and Willem provide thoughtful touches including Welsh Cakes on arrival. Peaceful countryside surrounds you.
Pet Friendly
Two small well-behaved dogs are welcome at Cowshed. The enclosed front garden with lawn keeps dogs safe while the fourteen acres of grounds provide exploration space. Multiple beaches within easy reach welcome dogs and coastal paths offer proper walks. Lisa and Willem are dog lovers who have helped guests when paws got hurt. The cottage provides everything needed for a dog-friendly break.

Lovely cottage with wonderful views in a quiet peaceful location but still near enough to visit Abersoch and Phllwelli and local secluded beaches. Great for walkingexploring. Very restful holiday. Enclosed garden great for dog. Lisa was very welcoming and accommodating and information sheets very useful. Maybe another one explaining how to use the Smart TV for luddites like us but otherwise absolutely great and would definitely recommend. Welcome gift of eggs and Welsh Cakes much appreciated too!
It was a lovely place to stay with a 5 star hotel feel bed. Lisa was a lovely host. Would have no problems recommending the Cowshed.
We really enjoyed our stay at the cow shed, the owners were very friendly and helpful. The surrounding area is stunning, the owners have made little paths through fields to a delightful pond where we sat watching all the wildlife. The location is perfect for all amenities and beautiful secluded beaches, we would highly recommended a stay at the cow shed.
Really great little holiday cottage, the owners are really friendly, helpful and want you to have a great holiday. The cottage itself is a great space, super clean and has everything you need for a week away and the bed is comfy! The location is brilliant for exploring and within walking distance to the Abersoch and nearby beaches. Cant wait to go back here again! Thanks again for a wonderful stay

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Cowshed, it's in a lovely setting and very restful with a great bed!
