This characterful property, sleeping six guests, is a wonderfully peaceful rural retreat, and less than 1.3 miles from the sea and sandy beaches of Aberdaron with its shops, restaurants and pubs. The characterful village was the last stopping place for medieval pilgrims before making what was then a perilous crossing to the holy island of Bardsey, 2 miles offshore. Modern-day pilgrims, along with holidaymakers, still make the journey to Bardsey, now a National Nature Reserve renowned for its wildlife. Trips run daily throughout March to September, from Porth Meudwy (1.7 miles) and take 20 minutes, subject to the weather. Once there, you are free to walk round the island, admire spectacular views and visit the lighthouse and chapel. For a beach with a difference, head to beautiful Porthor, known as the Whistling Sands for the noise made by particles of the golden sand as you walk across them. This secluded spot is also ideal for surfing and bodyboarding if conditions are right. Discover the fascinating history of Plas yn Rhiw (4.4 miles), a beautiful 17th -century manor house. Managed by the National Trust, it is set in beautiful gardens, with magnificent views across Cardigan Bay.
