Located in a rural part of the Pen Llyn (Llyn Peninsula), Llwyn y Forwyn is a lovingly renovated barn near the Lôn Goed, perfect for small families and couples. This single storey renovation includes two bedrooms and a fabulous and private outdoor space with wood heated hot tub. For guests that enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside, woodland walks and exploring the coastline, Llwyn y Forwyn is the ideal destination.

A private gravelled driveway leads to the property's front door, opening into the hallway. To the left, a bright and airy lounge shows off the barn structure with exposed wooden beams in the eaves of the building. Velux windows and a glazed door into the garden allow light to flood in to this cosy space. A pair of two seater leather sofas are positioned in an L shape around a thick rug, facing a cosy log burner installed on a slate hearth in the corner of the room. A large Smart TV is located on the wall about a gorgeous wooden side unit. Passing through the hallway, the kitchen diner is well equipped for guests self catering needs. The kitchen units are of traditional farmhouse style with a modern touch, finished in a neutral stone colour with a white granite effect worktop. A large fridge freezer with water dispenser is located in the corner of the kitchen, and there is a built in dishwasher along with oven, gas hob, microwave, kettle and toaster. A four seating farmhouse dining table sits in the centre of the space, the chairs painted in pastel shades.

From the kitchen, a further corridor leads to the lovingly renovated barn near the Lôn Goed's two bedrooms. The main bedroom, a cosy double includes a wooden framed bed with rustic wooden bedside cabinets and table lamps. To the opposite end of the room, a large wardrobe and chest of drawers of the same style are situated alongside a wall mounted TV. The bedding, in neutral colours and a chequered pattern, complements the furniture nicely. The second bedroom, ideal for children, includes a set of dark wooden bunks in same style as the bedroom furniture. A chest of drawers with open shelving is located next to the bunks, along with a table lamp for subtle lighting. The bedroom windows both feature thick blinds in a Welsh blanket pattern. Completing Llwyn y Forwyn's layout is a bathroom between the lounge and kitchen. Wood strip flooring is laid to the floor and classic white wall tiles give the room a stylish feel. A bath is installed to one side with shower head over, next to a WC and basin unit with storage under.

Location

 

The fabulous rural setting of this lovingly renovated barn near the Lôn Goed provides a haven of peace and tranquility for guests wishing to spend time at the property, as well as exploring the local area. Doors from both the lounge and kitchen open into a fabulous garden space including a sunny patio area with brightly coloured wooden seating, an outdoor dining set, drum barbeque and most impressively a wood heated hot tub with privacy screen. This, as well as a large lawn, creates the perfect private space for al fresco dining in the evenings, a glass of wine in the hot tub, or simply a secure space for the kids to play. If you manage to drag yourself away, there is also plenty do in this part of the Pen Llyn.

For gentle walks, the picturesque Lôn Goed passes nearby the property. A seven mile woodland walk, Lôn Goed begins at the coastal setting of Afonwen before heading inland towards Bryncir. Lôn Goed translates in English to Tree Lane, so unsurprisingly much of the route is under a canopy of trees providing shade (or shelter) from the elements. It's a lovely walk and suitable for all the family. Keen cyclists will also enjoy the area with a number of cycle lanes that start nearby, one of which heads in the direction of Caernarfon and onwards into the Ogwen Valley.

The seaside town of Criccieth is only a ten minute drive from Llwyn y Forwyn and is a great destination for a day out. With the imposing Criccieth Castle sitting at the high point of the town, there are fabulous views into Eryri (Snowdonia) and along Cardigan Bay from here. Be sure to stop into Cadwalader's for some amazing ice cream, or grab a sea front lunch at Dylan's Restaurant, located in a fabulous art deco building. Slightly further afield, Morfa Bychan beach is a long expanse of golden sand where drivers can park on the beach. It's a popular spot for all in the summer months. For amazing coastal walks, the Pen Llyn has a range of diverse landscapes, all accessed along the Wales Coast Path. The northern coast is wild and rugged with impressive cliffs and sweeping beaches, whilst the southern coast features sandy coves with gently lapping waters.

Nothing bad to say about this place. It ticked all the boxes for me. Safe garden for the dog, clean and well equipped accommodation ,off road parking ,privacy and superb hosts. Hot tub will use a lot of wood and realistically will take a good 3 hours to get to temp (cold temp March). Local country lanes are beautiful for walking or cycling . The weather took a turn for the worst for a few days .We had winds up to 70 mph, heavy rain and also few cold nights but this cosy barn conversion with its quality double glazing and half a metre thick walls you’d have no idea what the weathers doing out side.With it’s lovely furnishings along with the quality wood burner and central heating if needed it makes for cosy comfortable evenings. There is no washing machine but for me i was more than happy to use a service wash opp tesco in Porthmaddock (more time for exploring). You can really see the hosts have made a real effort to give their customers a comfortable stay. 10/10 from me

Fantastic stay. Hosts were very accommodating and helpful. Clear instructions on location necessary. With Sat Nav and narrow roads.

Fabulous secluded idyll, great to recharge your batteries. Impeccably clean, thoughtful touches, friendly owner lives just next door. Then only 5-10 minutes to Criccieth or other gorgeous countryside: Abersoch; Baddgelert; Snowdon. Highly recommended.

The cottage was beautiful, spotlessly clean. The extras were great, we didn’t expect the Christmas decorations, so extra magical. The drinks and treats were very welcome. Our only problem was getting the hot tub up to the right temp to get in it. We did everything we should have, as we have a log burner at home but it just wouldn’t get warm enough. I would recommend the cottage to friends and family. It was stunning.

We had the most fantastic stay! The place was absolutely spotless 😍genuinely one of the cleanest “self catering cottages” we’ve ever been in. It was so comfortable, warm and cosy, and we felt at home straight away. The hot tub was incredible and made the whole trip feel extra special. We loved every single second and didn’t want to leave. Thank you for such a perfect stay 🩵 we’ll definitely be back! 🌟

Such a beautiful location, gorgeous garden and hot tub was fab! Really great for day trips to the beaches and the mountains. Fab hosts!
A washing machine would have been fab, as we generated a lot of sandy towels and costumes! Forgot to check as I booked!!

Really enjoyed the cottage. Spotlessly clean, everything we needed and a kind welcome pack. Really really peaceful and quiet. Wasn’t a fan of the single track road for about 1/2 mile to the cottage, but is expected in a rural location. Didn’t get chance to use the hot tub, but we’ve used fire ones before and you just need to be patient. Beautiful place. Thank you.
