The lodge is in a lovely quiet location, close to the village of Aberdaron. It is clean and very well equipped with generous living space. We particularly enjoyed the outside areas and had great weather to enjoy the spaces. Our dog loved her walks on Aberdaron beach and Porth Colmon beach. We would highly recommend Gwdihw!
