Additional Location Information
The Llyn Peninsula is one of Wales' finest beauty spots. The Lleyn Peninsula (the Llyn) is usually defined as the strip of land which is South West of the A487 which runs from Caernarfon to Porthmadog. For most of its length it is only 8 miles wide. Much of the coastline is National Trust maintained.
The Welsh name for this area is Pen Llýn. The spelling of Llýn often changes to Lleyn which is probably more correct for English, but the former spelling is more commonly used locally.
The peninsula stretches out around 30 miles into the Irish Sea and is only around 8 miles wide for much of it's length. Being west of the Welsh mountains and in the Gulf Stream, Llyn enjoys a mild, drier climate than that of the rest of Wales. During the winter there are few or no frosts, but the snow on the mountains in the distance is a beautiful sight.
Around the peninsula's nearly 100 miles of coastline, there are sweeping bays, small coves and rocky cliffs as well as islands, reefs and impressive headlands. The Llyn offers a wealth of history, spectacular scenery and hidden nooks and crannies. It's a land of magic and mystery, with sandy beaches, a variety of activities from water sports to horse riding and golf, rambling walks through nature reserves, ancient ruins and megalithic sites. For the wildlife enthusiast there are many things to see; sea-lions, Chuffs (Bardsey Island) and many bird species. Sailing, Fishing and Diving are also popular in the area. After all that activity there are many places to spend the evening ranging from quiet pubs to top quality restaurants.

Lawrence S
Manchester, United KingdomWonderful, relaxing cottage miles away from anything !!
Left on 09/06/2012 for a stay in August 2012
Recently returned from a week at Bryn Llefrith Bach with wife and 2 children aged 3 and 8. The cottage was in an idyllic location, quite literally in the middle of nowhere with glorious views of Snowdonia. The local towns were only 10 minutes or so away - we particularly enjoyed Cricieth including the Castle Chippy and Cadwaladers ice-cream shop.
The cottage was in excellent condition and far more roomy than I had imagined from the photos. There was plenty of space outside of the cottage for the kids to run around and play outside.
Would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone considering - Delyth and Jim will make you fee very welcome. -

Sheffield, United KingdomGreat holiday accomodation in a great location
Left on 07/22/2012 for a stay in July 2012
The cottage is beautifully decorated and very well equipped with all modern conveniences, including wi-fi which came in very handy for checking the day's weather and planning our trips out accordingly. It's set up a long driveway in a peaceful, rural location with the occasional cows chorus from the adjacent farm. Spectacuar views of the surrounding hills can be seen from the cottage and its pretty garden and spotting Snowdon is easy on a clear day. Although the owners cottage is close by, they were very discrete, even parking down the driveway so as not to disturb us when they left for work in the morning. The narrow country lanes surrounding the property are great for walking and cycling. The cottage is in a good location for the seaside resorts of Criccieth and Phwelli, with Porthmadoc and its steam railways close by, not to mention the miles of coastline in between. Our teenage son enjoyed quadbiking at Glasfryn Park.
Best experience for us was fish and chips from the Castle chippy in Criccieth eaten on the beach followed by icecream from Cadwalladahs opposite! Least enjoyed was having to leave at the end of our week, we'll definately be back next year. -

DublinThe Great Escape (to the country!)
Left on 07/02/2012 for a stay in June 2012
The journey to Milk Cottage is somewhat challenging, if you don't have a sat nav (we did), as you reach the cottage through a labyrinth of lovely country roads and even lanes. But the journey's end is so worth it! The cottage is a really idyllic country get-away.
Delyth and Jim have thought of everything as hosts. The cottage is spotless with the most tasteful decor. There is a really good selection of books, Dvds and maps of the local area. They also provide a really detailed wall map, showing places to eat, attractions and activities for children.
If you like walking and outdoor activities, this is a lovely place to spend a week. Our favorite activity was a trip to the white water rapids centre in Snowdonia.
We came over from Ireland and were at the cottage in just over an hour. The ferry was such a pleasure compared to being Ryannaired. -

SheffieldFabulous location, friendly owners, and an all-in-all excellent
Left on 05/23/2012 for a stay in October 2011
On arrival we were warmly greeted by Jim and Delyth, who's extensive knowledge of the area gave us a great start to planning our week away.
The accommodation was all we could ask for - very clean, well equipped and clearly furnished with 5 Star quality in mind. The real log fire in the lounge (logs were provided) is an especially nice touch, and made the evenings that little bit more relaxing. The location was quiet and peaceful, with ample garden space. Despite the quiet location, amenities and attractions are not too far away.
I can highly recommend the quad biking at Glasfryn Parc (amongst the many other activities they do there), and visiting the beautiful surrounding Welsh towns and villages. There's also plenty of other activities such as paintballing, bowling, and a plethora of walks and hikes to do during your stay.
To summarise, I would recommend the Bryn Llefrith Bach cottage to anyone wanting a nice, quiet location but with plenty to do in the surrounding area. I left feeling refreshed and happy, and will definitely be booking again this year. -
