We had such a wonderful stay at Beudy-Efailnewydd! From the moment we arrived, Richard was so kind and welcoming — he came over to greet us, showed us how to use the log-fired hot tub, and even shared some great recommendations for dog-friendly restaurants and cafés in the area.
When we walked in, we were greeted with a lovely welcome hamper filled with treats — cheese, crackers, wine, and lots of other thoughtful items. On our first morning, he even popped by with milk and orange juice, which was such a kind touch.
The cottage itself is beautiful, spotless, and incredibly cosy. There were plenty of logs provided for both the hot tub and the log burner in the lounge, which we made full use of! Although the weather wasn’t on our side and we couldn’t enjoy the outdoor space as much as we’d have liked, we were more than happy to relax inside with the fire roaring.
This place is an absolute gem — peaceful, welcoming, and full of charm. We’ll definitely be coming back, hopefully when the weather’s a bit better so we can make the most of the outdoors too!

Just book it – you won’t be disappointed!
We had a fabulous week here and the weather was very kind. The location is perfect for exploring the Llyn Peninsula; with most destinations being reachable within 40 mins. We did some great walks around the coast and found some lovely secluded places, sometimes we were the only ones on the sand.
The accommodation was superb; well equipped and super comfortable. We had a four legged escapee with us, but the garden was very secure, thus allowing us to relax outside as well as in the house (some places say secure and they aren’t, but this really was!!)
Rich gave just the right amount of contact – he checked in to make sure we had all we needed, explained how to use the hot tub (which was easier to use than we thought and so much fun), let us know about favourite haunts and dog walks etc. but then left us to enjoy the space and our holiday.
Great location, wonderful accommodation and next level when it comes to being thoughtful hosts (yes I saw you Rich squashing yourself into the hedges on the inch of grass along the drive with the wheelie bin because it was 7.45am and you didn’t want to make a noise and risk waking us by wheeling it on the gravel!!)

This was our second visit to Rich and Catrin’s stunning holiday cottage, so tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped both indoors and outdoors – gorgeous wood fired hot tub, which is such a treat in the evenings after some beautiful walks in Abersoch, Llanbedrog, Criccieth which are all in the local vicinity, excellent outdoor seating area which is a little sun trap, generous welcome basket and the garden is extremely safe for dogs, location is so peaceful yet central to so many lovely beaches and areas of beauty to visit. Rich is the perfect host, we look forward to returning next Summer, thank you for a wonderful holiday, Susan, John, Aaron and Dylan the dog July 2025

Fantastic accommodation
Fantastic, attentive hosts
Ideal spot for exploring that part of Wales. Facilities in the house where grate. Everything and more provided.
Melanie Booth
Wonderful cottage, well designed, beautiful garden so safe for our 2 dogs.
Charlotte Bright
What a Gem! A wonderful home in a perfect location with Rich the most welcoming and thoughtful host. Y Beudy had everything you would need and more, is incredibly homely , safe for little ones and dogs alike.
The hot tub is lots of fun, build a fire with plenty of logs made available by Rich and wait for the tub to heat up, have a seat and relax with a lovely countryside view. I must also mention the generous and scrumptious welcome hamper! A real treat.
The location is perfect, 10/15 mins from Llanbedrog a picturesque safe, dog friendly beach with a walk to the iron man. Pop to Abersoch for a two islands ice cream, head to potted lobster for some seaweed or delicious pizza at Crust! The choice is endless.
Or head 10 mins in the other direction to Porthdinllean, the most gorgeous beach and the Ty Coch in you’ve ever seen .
We would love to return as much for the location as for the home. Thank you Rich for the most wonderful family holiday.

What a fabulous place 5*.
From the contact beforehand, greeting on arrival, amazing welcome pack, beautiful spacious garden, stunning accommodation with lovely extras and of course the hot tub.
The accommodation is so close to many spectacular beaches and coastal walks, with lots of recommendations from Richard.
We will be back – so much more to explore.

The cottage is an absolute home away from home. The decor is very homely. The kitchen is stocked with every utensil, pan and bowl you could need to use. On arrival we were met with a wonderful hamper of treats. The garden area is secluded and the hot tub is very enjoyable once you get the hang of heating it with the log fire. Plenty of towels are provided and the bedrooms are all a good size with very comfortable beds. Pwllheli is a 5 min drive but the cottage is well located for access to all the main areas of the Llyn.
We would happily stay here again.
Jackie Blair
Just returned home from the most perfect week. On our arrival we were blown away by this beautiful barn conversion. We have stayed in many properties in North Wales which have all been beautiful but this was another level. The cleanliness was above expectations, the fresh smell and the comfort was just something else. It’s a place for complete relaxation, everything you need is provided, including toiletries, kitchen supplies etc. The welcome pack was just stunning. I didn’t want to go home and can’t wait to go back. The garden was perfect and safe, totally enclosed for our golden retriever luna. Richard was so helpful and recommended beautiful beaches and other areas of interest, we were so lucky with the weather in February too. I can’t think of one negative about the cottage at all. Comfortable beds, comfortable sofas, no harsh rules or regulations, just felt like home from home. We had the perfect stay ❤️ ps if you are looking for a local takeaway we can recommend the Jewel in the Crown (Indian). Thanks again Richard and Catrin for your hospitality. We will definitely be back! Jackie, Ian and Luna x
Robert Douglas
Beudy-Efailnewydd is a very comfortable and very well equipped cottage. It is of a very high standard and an excellent base from which to explore Pen Llyn. The welcome basket was excellent and the owners very friendly and accessible. I would definitely recommend this cottage without a doubt.
Anthony
Absolutely fabulous. One of the best places we have ever stayed. The location and the cottage is stunning.
I cant say enough about the owners, super nice, accommodating and easy to talk to. And the welcome pack provided was fantastic.
In terms of amenities this cottage has everything, we actually couldn’t find anything missing that we might need.
Will definitely stay here again.
Sam
Really enjoyable stay at Beudy-Efailnewydd – a real home-from-home feel with the added benefit of a lovely hot tub. The welcome pack was lovely and the hosts have thought of everything to make a stay enjoyable regardless of the weather. Excellent location for exploring other parts of the Llyn Peninsula. We look forward to returning in the future.
Andrew Meggitt
Lovely property. Well equipped. Great spot for getting away from it all or using as a base to explore the many different places in the area. Richard the owner was extremely helpful and a friendly host.
Lorraine Scoggins
Perfect cottage!
Lots to do in the area, lovely local beaches, Snowdon, Portmeirion and a perfect garden for eating and chilling with the pooches!
We had a fabulous week, with lovely sunny and warm days!
Big thank you to Rich for your local knowledge and help, many thanks.
Rachel Fleming
Y Beudy is a beautiful cottage equipped with everything you could possibly need. The welcome pack is extensive and shows much thought has gone into providing guests with a wonderful stay. Rich the owner was very helpful and checked if we needed anything extra during our stay. We had a truly wonderful time and will return.
Sean Jones
I travel a lot with work and can honestly say that Y Beudy is in my top three places to have stayed in. The quality of the furnishings and appliances are second to none, but the attention to detail the owners have put in is nothing short of breathtaking. Thank you R&C and thank you Dioni for publicising the property so perfectly. All the best, Sean, Wendy & Brando 🐕🦺🐾
Patricia Woodward
Had a lovely week in spite of the weather. Cottage had every amenity you needed. Cosy with log fire in the evening. Beds very comfortable..Hot tub excellent everybody enjoyed it especially granddaughter who would not get out of it.
Susan chandler
Great holiday perfect in every way and to add to it weather was amazing sunshine everyday 🌞
Kelly
My family had a lovely stay in the cottage with plenty of beaches within a 15 minute drive. The house had everything we needed and the garden was lovely and safe for our dog Beau. The hot tub was loved by all after a busy day exploring. Great stay and will be going back 😀
Jane Thompson
We have just returned from a two week break at this lovely cottage. The cottage was full of charm and full of amenities. It was one of the best holiday homes that we have stayed in. Every little detail had been thought of from the lovely welcome basket full of goodies, the ball for the dog, the BBQ being ready to use. The garden is excellent for dogs as it was enclosed and our Bertie loved to visit the cows and the sheep in the next field each morning. The cottage is ideally placed and we visited some lovely and beautiful villages. Thank you Richard for all of your tips and your hospitality we will certainly be telling our family and friends about this beautiful holiday home. Until the next time Jane Brian Emma Ben Sharon and Bertie
Michael Ward
We had a wonderful stay at Y Beudy. The house was absolutely perfect and Richard was a great host, providing us with lots of great information on places to go and things to do. It’s a great base for seeing this beautiful area, with stunning beaches and Snowdonia nearby. My family now want me to buy a Scandinavian hot tub! In summary, a perfect house, in a perfect location. Highly recommended if you’re thinking of visiting North Wales.
Claire Reynolds
We all enjoyed our lovely stay at Beudy-Efailnewydd. The accommodation was amazing, immaculate and comfortable. Everything a family could possibly need was already thoughtfully provided. Nothing was too much trouble for our host Richard. This cottage is a great place for a family break. We’ll be looking forward to returning again soon . X
Rich Douglas
An absolutely lovely cottage in a fantastic location to explore. It’s even nicer than the pictures show.
Richard is a brilliant host who is on hand if there are any issues.
Loved the hot tub and putting the fire on when the weather turned.
I’m pretty sure we’ll be back in the future as it was such an amazing place. Highly recommend.
Kim Gill
The property is absolutely beautiful. Very tastefully styled and everything you could want or need in the kitchen is provided. The welcome pack on the kitchen table when we walked in was a lovely surprise and the cheese was especially delicious.
The beds are really comfortable and the standard of cleanliness everywhere is exceptionally high.
The heating was very responsive and the property heated up very quickly as and when we wanted it.
The outdoor hot tub was one of the features we particularly wanted and it did not disappoint.
Rich, the owner, was very kind, attentive and polite. He was lovely to deal with and set the tone for a delightful stay.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this property and we hope to visit again in the near future.
In addition, the location is ideal for beautiful beaches and coastline to explore.
Sarah
Not long back from our stay. What a wonderful cottage and great host in Richard. The place is immaculate and kitted out with everything you could possibly need! We would love to go back. Highly recommend
Jade Wilding
We stayed at the beautiful cottage with friends and our spaniel. The cottage exceeded all expectations, it was done out to such a high standard and contained everything we needed including every piece of kitchen equipment you could think of! The hosts were very attentive and approachable. The cottage was set in a quiet/relaxing setting and we enjoy relaxing in the hot tub after days exploring Snowdon, Abersoch and morfa Nefyn. Would highly recommend and would definitely return.
JOANNE KAY SMETHURST
We had a lovely relaxing 7-day break at Y Beudy. The property was presented to a very high standard and was equipped with everything and more. (Loved the washing up bowl).
Richard was a great host, and nothing was too much trouble.
We had amazing weather for November so star gazing from the fantastic hot tub most nights was the highlight of our holiday.
The property is situated close to some amazing beaches which kept our dog very happy.
Recommend Llanbedrog Beach and a great beach bar with stunning views for breakfast.
Thank you again to Richard for sharing his home with us – we would highly recommend this property.

Wow !
What a superb week spent in outstanding accommodation.
Y-Beudy had absolutely everything we (including our pampered 2 dogs) needed, 5 stars in every single respect and wouldn’t hesitate to return. And what a discovery the Llyn peninsula was to us, we followed many of the recommendations from our great host and were not disappointed. A new and beautiful beach every day of our stay, and some fine dining thrown in too. A delightful stay which we will long remember and hope to repeat.
Zoe Jones
We enjoyed a lovely stay at Beudy-Efailnewydd in October. The cottage was cosy, well-appointed and attractively furnished, with everything we could need thought of. There was also a warm welcome from host Richard who was so kind and helpful with local recommendations and helping our stay go smoothly. The wood-fired hot tub is beautifully maintained and was a pleasure to use. Thanks for having us, the Jones family.
Stuart, Diane & Freya
We have had the most amazing holiday at Y-Beudy. We can see that so much thought has been put into the barn.
The accommodation is lovely, comfortable and welcoming. We had brought the usual holiday essentials but found we needed nothing, it was all provided even tennis balls for our dog Freya
Freya enjoyed looking at the cows in the next field, and as you predicted they came to visit us.
The location is perfect, we have visited Harlech, Criccieth, Nefyn- but our favourite beach has to be Abersoch.
Can recommend the coastal path walk from Llanbedrog, across the headland to Quarry Beach- it is not for the faint hearted but the views are maginficent
Recommend Kine Co Cafe in Abersoch- it’s dog friendly with an excellent selection of vegetarian meals
Walton
There are no words to describe this property.
We had an amazing time here. Richard the Owner came and talked us through everything on our first day and gave us lots of information about walks for our 2 spaniels. He also checked in to make sure all was ok from our end including making sure we were ok with the hot tub.
Unfortunately for us the weather wasn’t on our side with gale force winds and rain. However after our long coastal walks it was always welcoming to come back to the cottage to warm up by either jumping in the hot tub or sitting in front of the log burner.
The welcome pack was greatly received and the boys loved the tennis balls and they very much enjoyed spending time out in the enclosed garden.
This cottage is the perfect location for beautiful scenic walks and to spend some downtime if you have a super busy work schedule/life and you need to switch off.
Natalie Stokes
We loved everything about Y-Beudy! It’s a beautiful cottage finished to a high standard. The owners have thought of everything you might need and more! We couldn’t believe how well equipped & organised it was; making it like home from home.
Richard was a lovely host, greeting us and checking we were ok during our stay.
The Scandinavian hot tub was a highlight. We used it most evenings , with a drink, enjoying stunning views of sunset over the Welsh mountains and the beautiful stars at night.
Y-Beudy is a beautiful property ideally located to explore the Llyn Peninsula & it’s beaches.
Thank you Richard & Catrin for a wonderful stay & wonderful memories. We hope to come back soon.

The Burnsides
We’ve loved everything about Y-Beudy!
From the friendly welcome to the perfectly finished and furnished accommodation
We’ve stayed in many holiday cottages over the years, and have usually discovered something that the guest needs that has been overlooked by the Owners. Not in this case, you’ve covered everything.
We brought two energetic 10 year old grandsons with us, and they when not at the beach, have loved the hot tub and the spacious nerf-war sized garden where they could wage imaginary cosmic destruction to their hearts delight
Also reassuring to know that the dog was safe to play out too
It was a fabulous break for all of us
Thank you so much and all our best wishes for the future

7 day break 20/5/22 We had a lovely relaxing break at Y Beudy. The property was clean and presented to a very high standard and was well equipped with everything we needed (and more including comfy beds 😀) Dogs and grandchildren enjoyed the garden which was safe and secure and we were lucky enough to see some amazing sunsets whilst chilling in the hot tub. We also enjoyed the generous welcome pack. Richard made us feel very welcome on arrival. We would highly recommend this property -a home from home.

We have spent a long weekend with some friends at Y Beudy and we have had a lovely time. The house is beautiful, finished to a great standard with lots of lovely details and decor. When we arrived it was very clean and well presented. It has everything you could possibly need and more. The garden is beautifully maintained and such a sun trap to sit and relax.
We got a very nice welcome from the owners who gave us as much information about how to use the Scandinavian hot tub and other things in the house.
Beautiful house in a beautiful location.
Sally and Michael
Spent a lovely few days at this beautiful holiday home. Everything has been thought of inside and out, beautiful decor and spotless clean.
The hosts are lovely and nothing is too much trouble, even if it is user error.
We will definitely be back did not want to leave.
Thank you for letting us share your beautiful cottage.
Sam Paterson
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful property for my sons 18th birthday. It was immaculate and has been done with quality and taste. Our dogs loved the enclosed garden and the hot tub was wonderful after an active day. The welcome pack was amazing. We read, ate together and were able to relax in the peace and quiet. It was bliss. Richard was a perfect host. Thank you.
Emily
It’s difficult to think of a way in which this week could have been improved! The accommodation was spotless and finished to an incredibly high standard. The kitchen has every utensil you can think of. The garden is dog-friendly, and has beautiful views of the hills and sheep in adjoining field. Location is perfect for exploring the Llyn Peninsula and its beautiful beaches. Richard was a perfect host. We would love to return.
Kim and Ste
Stayed 4th March 22 for 2 nights
We had the most amazing stay, from the minute we booked we were looked after and Richard and Catrin, they were so accommodating when our little one had to self isolate for our planned dates.
The night before our stay Richard kindly offered to set up our hot tub so it was all ready for when we arrived and wow when we arrived the place was stunning the 2 dogs were well catered for with a enclosed safe garden and the children loved running around playing hide and seek.
The hot tub was amazing and Rich talk us through the simple steps to warm it up tomorrow (something I was a little worried about but really didn’t need to be)
The cottage was the most well equipped cottages I have ever been to they have thought of everything and more to make staying here so easy.
They even had Netflix and Disney, DVDs a wide selection of books, board games and telly with kids dvds in their room.
They made some excellent suggestions for us of places to visit with 2 dogs and children and we had a lovely break overall it’s an Amazing place with amazing hosts and we will definitely return soon
Thank you for allowing us to make memories in your beautiful cottage

We had the pleasure of staying in this fabulous property for October Half Term, which had everything we needed and more, for a really relaxing family break in North Wales.
The owners Richard and Catrin couldn’t have been more attentive, providing any help and advice when needed. They even very kindly returned our board game to us in the post, when the children left it behind 🙈🙌🏼
The welcome pack was amazing, providing lots of essentials and delicious Welsh treats for us all to enjoy, perfect after our long journey.
The enclosed garden was ideal for our dog and children to play and would be superb for BBQs and outdoor living in the summer months. We also loved the hot tub and used it most evenings to unwind with a drink and watch the stars ✨
This property is ideal for both couples and families alike and we will certainly look forward to returning in the future.
Many thanks Richard and Catrin 😊
Kind regards, Team Griffiths
Peter J Hayes
Stayed for a 5 night break in October.
The property is situated for easy excess to all the Llyn Peninsula.
On arrival we were met by a lovely friendly welcome and made to feel at ease with asking for advice if we needed it.
The owners were always welcome to help! Welcome pack was enjoyable and a nice gesture.
The place was very well maintained and clean top to bottom, with plenty of towels to use.
All fires in and out stocked up with logs and ready to go .
On a couple of evenings we got to use the very clean and well maintained Hot tub.
To relax in the warm tub outside at dusk, with a glass of bubbles and the ambiance of the lighting shimmering through the rising steam, all in the backdrop of the Welsh mountains.
Fantastic!!
A Credit to the owners for creating this lovely, relaxing , homely place for us and others to enjoy 😊 .
Thanks Rich and Catrin .🤙
