Bodarfor (By The Sea)

Bodarfor opens into a bright kitchen and dining room with French doors to the garden—the first thing guests notice is how the space flows outward toward the bay. The ground floor has a living room stocked with books, DVDs and games, a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer, and a shower room. Upstairs are three bedrooms (one double, one double, one single) and a bathroom with bath and shower. Bed linen and Wi-Fi are provided; bring your own towels.

The enclosed lawned garden has decking and furniture for eating outside, with shed and bike storage. Two cars can park on site. The cottage is in Aberdaron village on the Llyn Peninsula, within walking distance of the beach, coastal paths, pubs, fish and chips, ice-cream and bakery. One dog stays free; the space and garden suit families or groups of friends wanting a proper kitchen base rather than self-catering basics. There is no smoking in the property.
