This 2-bedroom cottage is an 18th-century blacksmith's cottage in Llanbedrog, a seaside village on the Llyn Peninsula in Gwynedd, North Wales. This two-bedroom cottage sits less than a mile from a long sandy beach and is tucked behind the mountains of Snowdonia. It's a genuinely secluded spot with a private enclosed garden, patio and BBQ. The dark skies here are unspoilt and perfect for stargazing on clear nights.

Llanbedrog is quiet and walkable. The Llyn Coastal Path starts just half a mile away. Abersoch is 3 miles down the road for water sports and restaurants. Pwllheli is 4 miles away. A pub and shop are both close by.

The cottage sleeps three. Downstairs is open-plan with a clear-view wood burner set in an inglenook, two sofas, Smart TV with Netflix and a fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs has one spacious double bedroom and one single, both with TVs. The bathroom has a shower over the bath. A separate laundry room with bike storage sits next to the house.

Nearby: Plas Glyn y Weddw galleries (in village), Criccieth Castle (8 miles, 15 mins), Glasfryn Parc activity centre (9 miles, 18 mins), Portmeirion Italianate village (20 miles, 30 mins).
