The Lleyn Peninsula curves into the Irish Sea with a raw, austere beauty—rocky headlands, small coves, and villages that feel genuinely remote. Salfur sits about 4 miles inland from Aberdaron, far enough to feel properly rural but close enough that the coast is never far away. One beach lies within a 15-minute walk, though the approach is steep; Aberdaron, Hell's Mouth and Abersoch are a short drive in either direction.
The cottage holds three bedrooms and one bathroom across two floors. Downstairs, a living room with a multi-fuel stove opens to a kitchen-diner with room for the whole party to gather; upstairs, two more bedrooms sleep the remaining guests. An enclosed lawned garden wraps around the property, and there is parking for two cars on site. The essentials are covered—electricity, heating, wifi, bed linen and towels are all included, and you'll find an initial supply of coal and logs for the stove. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking. A travel cot and highchair are available if needed.
The area draws walkers, families and anyone after wild coastline. Portmeirion's eccentric Italianate village is within reach, the Ffestiniog Steam Railway runs inland, and various activities—watersports, horse riding, go karting—operate nearby. The property has open and narrow stairs, and does not permit smoking. Shops, a pub and restaurants are 4 miles away in the village.

What guests say
The cottage itself was lovely, in a perfect rural location, near the sea, but high up. Stunning views and easy enough access (if you don't mind country roads). There were alot of rules to abide by, e.g. don't eat anywhere but the kitchen, and don't touch the blinds (labels on various objects around the house). Heating was adequate, if not a little warm in the kitchen compared to other rooms due to the hot plates. Unfortunately, the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom windows were either dusty or mouldy. Mould you can expect in old stone cottages, but the blinds in the kitchen were caked in dust. However the rest of the house was clean enough. Check in was okay, with a phone call before hand to over some of the rules and the code to the key safe. Check out was interesting. I was running behind on checking out, whereby I'd managed to get our stuff and the kids out, packed and in the car, but i hadn't yet started on hoovering and sweeping. A lady turned up at the door at 10 sharp, who i explained the situation to. The rooms were empty and clean, but I'd not done the floors yet. She said it was fine, as she'd need to do that anyway. I offered to do it, and offered to take the excess cardboard away as we filled the recycling bin, but she said it was fine. 30 minutes later, the owner called, with an unpleasant tone. She asked where the remote was, which i explained was in the living room but may have fallen down the sofa. She said they couldn't find it and that we'd left the place a mess. I explained that the only thing i hadn't done is the floor, and that I'd explained it to the younger lady at the door. Her response was that the lady was really upset, and then asked us why we moved the Xmas tree. I explained that we moved it to put presents under it. She said she would call the lady back and explain where the remote might be. The owner was rude and unprofessional. So we shall not be recommending the place, purely on that.
