  Lovely cottage with stunning views!

  We enjoyed our stay. The owners seemed friendly. Easy drive to Pwllheli, Nefyn and surrounding areas. The living room/kitchen was light and spacious, and the garden was secure for the dogs. Cooking utensils were provided, and there was a small under-counter fridge for those wanting to cook at the cottage. The sofas and beds weren’t the comfiest, but they were okay for a few nights. The bathroom was nice, although the extractor fan was temperamental. The wifi was fast and we never had any issues with it. The book provided is helpful, as it includes information about the cottage, local area, takeaways, etc. We were welcomed with a bottle of prosecco, which was a lovely touch - thank you! The hot tub was a great addition, we’re missing it already! Some instructions on how to use it may be useful, as it took us a while fiddling with the buttons to get the jets/lights on. We stayed for 4 nights/5 days and found we had to buy a lot of extras ourselves, such as toilet roll (we were provided with 2 rolls), kitchen towel, salt & pepper, oil, washing machine pods, bin bags (we were only provided with the ones in the bin already, no spares), cling film/tin foil. I would suggest those staying for a longer period to pack these with them. Bring your own towels too, as the ones provided are on the smaller size. The check out in/times aren’t good. You can’t check in until 5pm, and must check out by 9am!! Please bare in mind when booking that you will lose a day either side of your holiday, as on your first day you only get the evening, and the last day you only get a an hour or two in the morning. So, despite us booking Mon-Fri, we only got to enjoy 3 days at the cottage, which we were disappointed with.

  The property bigger than expected, and was clean enough but felt a bit unloved.

  It has bags of potential, but there were a few things that would stop us from retuning; The bathroom tiles and grout needed a good scrub on the floor. The kitchen was well stocked for utilities, however the toaster leaver was broke? Furnishings were sparse and in a lot of cases broken or well worn. There were things missing I would have expected to find like a hair dryer, a bath mat, an internet router, bin bags, plus the usual foil, oil, salt, pepper etc we’ve come to expect not to be present due to lockdown. A door mat for the front door and muddy boots, and a door mat at the back for the hot tub would have been useful to stop us treading mud and water in. The front door needs a blind - it’s very exposed to the neighbouring property and parking spaces which impacts privacy. The hot tub was fine, some sand in it but had read previous reviews and expected this. There was some dark black scuffing marks on the tub which didn’t look great but didn’t impact the usage. I was also a bit surprised one morning when sat in the garden in my pjs and someone just walked through the field into the static van next to the property, I had been under the impression that it was a private location. Besides the niggles with the property, the area was mostly quiet and Nefyn itself was a beautiful place. There are great views from the cottage and a lovely walk via route 41 to Morfa Nefyn over the tops.

  What a fabulous break, the most relaxed I’ve been in years.

  Lovely view from the huge glass window and patio. Surrounded by fields, peaceful and quiet. Lambs in the fields across were an added bonus, what a beautiful sight. The cottage itself is well presented, with a large comfy bed and the log fire is heavenly. We took provisions so we could at least have a cup of tea when we arrived, but there were tea bags, coffee, sugar, a bag of fresh ground coffee, milk, muesli, a loaf of bread, some Welsh cakes and a bottle of wine - what a lovely treat! Peter was about to great us, and kind enough to lend my husband a jacket, as he’d forgotten to take his own, in March. The hosts then made themselves scarce. Larry the dog was a sweetheart too. It was not too far to the beach and we walked there every day, it’s breathtaking. The whole peninsula was an outdoor lovers haven. We’ve recommended the Sail Loft to family and friends. And despite normally being someone who never goes to the same place twice, I’ve book at the Sail Loft later in the year, which I think speaks volumes about how much we loved it.

  We loved the location as it was easy to get to all the beautiful places on the Llyn Peninsula.

  The property was spacious and light however with just a couple of additions it could be so be so much better for guests mainly the kitchen area. There's absolutely no worktop space to prepare or put anything. Any flat surfaces are taken up with lovely (and expensive) ornaments but there's just way too many and they dont have any use. Coat hooks in the hall would be a nice touch along with a few more knives and forks in order to make and eat a meal. The garden is a large meadow but not enclosed and the patio isnt private which is stated on the description. The patio area is overlooked by the friendly owners and their dog as the accommodation was, up until a few years ago, the garage to their house. The sea views which are mentioned are quite hard to see as you have to look over another neighbours garden but the sunset is a real bonus! If the owners ever decide to make the few changes, particularly with regards to the kitchen, then we would definitely go back!

  Excellent cottage.

  Ideal location for exploring the Llyn peninsula and beyond. Brilliant for our dogs, 2 Cavaliers. They were safe in the garden which was shared with next door but that was not a problem, it was secure also the front of the cottage was also enclosed. Only issues we had was the heating never came on. Did report it and Dewi came straight out but it still didn't come on, the cottage next door had the opposite problem their heating never went off so they gave us the logs they bought. The other small issue was you have a washing machine and a line so did some washing but couldn't find any pegs so had to dry the washing on a clothes airer which was under the stairs. No real problem will just take some pegs next time. On the whole very pleased with our stay and would definitely stay there again, if we go to that area.
