Guests say

The Anchorage in Abersoch is a well-loved cottage with stunning views and a homely feel. Guests have praised its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and ideal location for coastal walks and village amenities. The property's facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and outdoor seating, contribute to a delightful stay, although some feedback suggests room for improvement in maintenance.

The property is generally described as spotlessly clean, with only a few isolated comments about a missed broken bed and a damp smell in one room suggesting minor lapses.

The location is highly praised for its spectacular views and proximity to the village and beach, despite some concerns about the steep hill into town.

Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of comfortable beds and living spaces. However, there are a few remarks about a squeaky bed and a desire for a tumble dryer.

Facilities are generally appreciated, especially the kitchen and outdoor areas. Points are deducted for comments on worn settees, a broken bed, and the lack of a tumble dryer.

There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.

About this property

Resting in a quiet cul-de-sac in Abersoch, North Wales is this delightful, mid-terrace holiday home, The Anchorage. Savouring panoramic sea views, and enjoying off-road parking on a private drive for 3 cars and a large garden, The Anchorage is a wonderful dwelling for a family or group of eight wanting to discover the delights of the Llŷn Peninsula. After enjoying a day out at the beach, make your way into the lovely abode and upstairs to a wonderful open-plan living space, where everything you require for a self-catering holiday is within easy reach. The kitchen has been finished to a high standard and sports fabulous, shaker-style fittings with marble-style worktops for the budding chef to whip up delectable meals on.

Dinner can be enjoyed at the nearby dining table or out in the evening sun on the balcony, where you can enjoy idyllic views over the rear garden. Finish off the day with a film night in the sitting area, where you can choose between the selection of Freeview channels available; switch on the electric fire for extra warmth! When night falls, move up to the first floor to find a fabulous double with views of the Cambrian Mountains and Eryri (Snowdonia), as well as benefiting from an en-suite shower room. Venture downstairs to find three more well-appointed bedrooms, two being stylish doubles and the other being a twin room that is perfect for the kids or extra guests, with its own Smart TV.

The ground floor is also home to the family bathroom, with a bath where you can enjoy a well-deserved rest after a day packed with walking or cycling, as well as a wet room with a spacious shower, where you can savour a revitalising rinse. Finishing off the ground floor is a utility, with a washing machine that is perfect for washing sandy clothes or wetsuits. The rear garden hosts a shed that is ideal for storing beach equipment, whilst also containing a patio and lawned area for you to unwind on as the designated chef grills up a tasty lunch on the handy barbecue.

Embark on a short walk into the centre of Abersoch to find a selection of pubs, eateries and shops to visit, before enjoying a stroll along the River Soch, paddling or sailing in the waters of Abersoch Harbour and Main Beach, or enjoying a putting tournament at the local golf club. Venture south of Abersoch to find a well-stocked farm shop boasting local wares and produce, before relishing the sun and sand at Machroes Beach and treating yourself to an indulgent treat from the popular Tearooms at Mickey’s Boatyard. To the west of Abersoch is the delightful village of Llanengan, where you can spend some time exploring the Llanengan Hillfort where the remains of a lead mine can be found, stop for a bite to eat at The Sun Inn, or venture towards the coast to Hells Mouth Beach and the Llŷn Coastal Path.

There is plenty more to see in this part of Wales, from the nearby settlements of Aberdaron and Pwllheli to the lovely settlements further afield, Trefor and Criccieth. For a blissful break amidst the sights of the Llŷn Peninsula, look no further than The Anchorage.

Located on the Llyn Peninsula in an area of Wales known for its breath-taking landscape and diverse hiking trails, Abersoch is a popular destination for visitors. An significant sailing race is conducted every summer in the settlement, which sits between two beautiful bays and is one of North Wales' most popular sailing spots. Tourists may find a wide variety of places to eat, drink, and shop. There is a golf course just outside the settlement, and horseback riding is also accessible in the vicinity. Windsurfing, waterskiing, and dinghy sailing are just a few of the activities available to visitors.

    Cannot wait to back in the summer. Feels like a real home from home. Fantastic views from many windows. Perfect family space whatever the weather. Lovey early evening sun trap on the decking too. Always immaculate when we arrive.

  • Phil

    Absolutely fabulous accommodation. So comfortable and spotless. And the views from the front ‘picture’ window are outstanding. The house is situated within easy walking distance to the village centre and the beaches, but situated in a very pleasant and quiet neighbourhood. Everything we could ask for, we’ll be back.

    So clean and cosy, great value, great communication, probably the best view in Abersoch. Would highly recommend a stay at the anchorage, especially out of season!
