Bodarfor is a gorgeous house in a perfect setting. With amazing views.The house itself is well maintained and clean. The floor plan is excellent for easy living. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need for a holiday with the addition of a utility room, very useful if you have dogs. The downstairs shower room is very handy. The garden is fully enclosed which is great for dogs. It has a lovely decked area with table and chairs and a fabulous view.Lots of useful dog friendly aspects to the house.We have been a few times with young children, an elderly person and dogs and it has suited all.The owners are very helpful and easy to contact should you need them.Aberdaron is a very quaint seaside village with everything you need available. So many choices for eating out or takeaways, Caffi Traeth does fantastic pizzas, baguettes and hot toasted ciabatta, the chip shop is excellent and has a very extensive menu, the bakery is a delight, so much choice and everything is amazing.The beach is great as is the promenade very child friendly, plenty of space even on a busy day. The coastal path is fantastic with amazing views.We can’t wait to return.
