Large Barn Conversion on a Working Farm on the Llyn Peninsula | Rhiwal

An amazing stay for our family of 5. Excellent hosts and home. They have thought of everything you need on holiday which truly makes a difference. Our boys loved feeding the chickens and playing in the games room. Bedrooms were perfect and comfy. Kitchen is phenomenal for baking and cooking during the stay. We will be back!

Great place to stay, kids, dog and adults loved it, games barn is fab, close to beaches, loved the chicken run and collecting fresh eggs

Had a fantastic week at Rhiwal, loved the cottage, the games room and collecting the eggs from the “ladies” in the coup. Carys and Malcom are great hosts and were on hand if we needed anything.

We had a lovely week away, definitely recommend Rhiwal. Lovely beaches and lots of places to visit. The children loved the games room and feeding the chickens. Carys was very welcoming leaving us a welcome basket on arrival. We will be coming back again in the future

This was our second time at Rhiwal for myself and family and also Milo the labrador who absolutely loved the large garden space. The kids (adults) enjoyed the games room on the couple of days when the weather wasn’t to great. The kitchen area is well equipped to make your own meals, although we did have fish and chips plus pizza a couple of times in the two weeks we stayed there. The four bedrooms were all well decorated and very comfortable. The only fault while staying there was the fridge/freezer decided to break down, phoned Carys straight away who was very apologetic (not her fault what so ever)and ordered new appliance to be delivered asap, next day Carys turned up with two bottles of whisky to say sorry,I can only say Carys was an absolute star, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the near future, and don’t forget the four hens fresh eggs everyday delicious. Highly recommended 👌

A wonderful holiday was had by all in the large cottage with huge garden with additional Play Barn (although bring your own darts and table tennis bats/balls as we couldn’t find any). As the weather was really warm and sunny we all made full use of the garden, BBQ and the fire pit later in the evenings.
The welcome basket was very much appreciated as was the freshly laid eggs we collected each day from the chickens who have a run in the garden.
Carys, the owner, was very friendly & met us on arrival and was only a phone call or message away if needed.
We will definitely stay here again!!.

International whisky day was celebrated on our first day and we invited Carys to join us. Carys and Rhiwal are both open, lovely and make you feel special.
The house has plenty of space, good quality appliances, worktops etc.
Chickens on the garden got people up each morning with the fight of who could feed the chickens and collect the eggs.
Tesco delivered there, no problem
Rhiwal was a lovely base to come back to each day after exploring, we never had the TV on, we had bbq’s in the garden, a firepit night, games evenings. Jack (our dog) loved doing zoomies in the enclosed garden.
Last evening we bought fish n chips and drove up onto the headland above Abadaron for supper, with spectacular view of Bardsey Island.
The National Trust at Rhiw was well placed.
We did coastal walks most days, but got lost easily due to the old and new coastal paths being in place.
Nautical museum at Morda Nefyn (and its free).
Seals off the golf course above Ty Coch, obviously walked to the Ty Coch pub for lunch.
Lots of photos of a fabulous holiday, with memories made.
Port Colmon is small but lovely and Caffi there with all home made cakes etc ..
Would recommend llyn peninsular and Rhiwal in a heart beat.
Seafood shop in Pwllheli highly recommended.
We will definitely be back.
The only thing that I would suggest changeing is directions to get there, as there are no longer any pine trees by the dorma bungalow.

This was our second stay at Rhiwal and once again we had a brilliant stay. The Games Room was well used by all four generations of the Morris family with the ten year old learning to play pool in a few days, and then thrashing his elders. The chickens were looked after by the grandchildren, and they enjoyed the fresh eggs at breakfast. The peaceful location ensures that you feel relaxed and then within a few minutes you can be at beautiful beaches, or other attractions that the area offers. Carys ensures that you feel right at home as soon as you step inside. Rhiwal is well equipped and has spacious rooms which caters for all ages. A big thank you from all of us to Carys.

We had a lovely short break over February Half Term. 2 x families of four and the barn and playroom were perfect. Warm welcome from the owners and the location was great to investigate the Llyn Peninsula. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place with stunning views. We had a very lovely stay and really enjoyed the personal touch by Carys.

The place was very spacious and the games room was an added bonus.

There was absolutely nothing to complain about and will certainly bear this place in mind for the future.

Absolutely fabulous barn. Enjoyed a 3 night stay with family for my 60th birthday. Beautifully decorated and presented. Every little detail thought about. Lovely suprise was the chickens my grandchildren were able to feed each morning. Highly recommended

Rhiwal is a very well placed house to access the Llyn Peninsula
The house is nested in a safe space on a working active farm
The games room was a really great addition
Our grandchildren loved the hens, swings, hammocks and space to run round
The large kitchen became the main focus of the house for us all.
The bedrooms were large and accommodated all our luggage.
The house was clean and well maintained, and the fully equipped kitchen was great.
Waitrose and Asda do deliver to the cottage, but there is a well stocked “spa” in Nefyn, 7 mins drive away.
Beaches were all beautiful Ty Coch, Porth Iago and Porth Towyn were excellent for swimming and SUP
Zinc in Abersoch was very child friendly which was a boost!
Just a couple of points :
There are steps up and down into the kitchen which caused issues for our toddling grandchild
A stair gate option for the top of the stairs would have been a great addition too.
Another fridge would be great for fresh food and beers
The shower in the utility area runs hot and cold needing constant readjustments

Overall this holiday home is just sublime, a great week away thanks to Carys and Malcolm
Thank you

What a fantastic holiday. This is our second time at Rhiwal and we will return again. Four households staying together could have been cramped anywhere else but the size of the house and enclosed garden meant there was plenty of room and space. I knew my 4 year old grandson was safe and he was always occupied in the garden or the games room, sandpit and swings. He loved caring for the chickens and collecting the eggs.The games room , fire pit and bbq meant us adults were never bored but the beautiful peaceful location meant we could also relax. The house is equipped so well, clean and presented beautifully. Two washing machines and the spacious parking are great . We knew Carys was only a phone call away and she is very helpful. Thank you so much for a wonderful week again. Looking forward to returning again. Simone , Lewis and family

Well what can I say!
Our stay was exceptional. Amazing hosts nothing was too much trouble. This was a 60th birthday celebration for my husband after a 6 month recovery from a serious illness. The house was gorgeous with every need catered for. The games room was an added bonus and kept the older children quite (by older I mean the men). Our 17 month old grandson loved running wild in the garden and the extra bonus was feeding the chickens and collecting the eggs every morning. This house is superb for a large get together and can’t wait to come. Don’t think about just book it 😃

Absolutely perfect for a long weekend away with a group of friends. We found the farm house to great for our needs. Spacious and comfortable.
Games room was a massive hit. Garden area lovely for an evening drink and a bbq.
Very rural location, yet within 15 minutes drive you have costal locations in all directions. Loved this farm stay. Will return.

We had a lovely stay very impressed with the accommodation I didn’t get to meet the owners but my daughter did and said they were lovely . We have family living around the area so it was an ideal spot to meet up with them . The grandchildren loved the open space to run around and the weather turned out to be ok we will definitely be going back . This was our second time we have booked with the company and will carry on doing so x

I forgot to mention the wonderful Easter themed welcome basket that we received – Carys had even included something for Alfie!

We spent a week at Rhiwal in April (Easter school hols) Fantastic house – very well equipped, home from home with comfortable beds. I have to comment on the enclosed garden – it was nice to find a garden that states as being enclosed was actually enclosed and safe enough for our little dog (yorkie) to wander around in safely. Weather wasn’t great for most of the week we were there but the seperate games room kept our teenage boys occupied with a recently upgraded table tennis table (not the one in the photos) We were able to feed the chickens and sample their lovely fresh laid eggs (nice added surprise) The house is in a good position for exploring the area – lots of nearby coastal towns to visit which are a short drive away. A really pleasant stay in a lovely part of the country

Our favourite UK holiday to date! Superbly and generously kitted out with every detail considered in making our stay comfortable and welcoming. Carys and Malcolm are lovely people who happily helped out with our queries. Highly recommend Rhiwal.

Probably one of the best places we’ve stayed! Carys went above and beyond to make our friends 50th birthday weekend that extra bit special. The barn has everything you need and more. Super comfy beds with beautiful soft bedding. An absolute must and I never understand why some places scrimp on this! Lots of little extras and our welcome hamper wasn’t just personalised but extremely generous. Rhiwal is also in a beautiful location with stunning views. We just wish we could have stayed longer to appreciate everything there is! Honestly it was just perfect.

Just enjoyed a perfect week at Rhiwal.
The accomodation had everything you could wish for, beautiful decor, comfy beds, very well equipped kitchen and lots of space.
The garden and surrounding countryside is stunning and the games barn provided us with hours of family fun.
Carys and Malcom have thought of everything you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday with lots of thoughtful touches such as a welcome basket of goodies.
Hope to be back next year 😊

An excellent place to stay. Spacious, comfortable and lots of special touches to make you feel at home. I went with my family for 2 weeks and we all loved it. Super games room. Chickens to feed and collect eggs to eat. See calves being born. My only negative comment was no change of sheets during the 2 weeks!

What a fantastic week we have had. Three households together could have been cramped but the inside and outside space were both amazing. We did not watch the TV (which is unheard of) as the garden, games room and board games kept us busy when we were not out and about exploring. We visited so many places within easy reach. The house is fantastic. Spotlessly clean and so well equipped. I cannot fault anything. My grandaughter was very sad to leave ‘her’ chickens,, she loved feeding them, putting them to bed and collecting the eggs. The hosts were amazing. We were all very sad to leave it was just the perfect place to stay. We came with our daughters and their families. We will book next year with our sons, I really don’t think we could find anywhere better. Thank you so much

Wonderful property in on beautiful location to get away from it all, but still close enough to shops/pubs/beaches . Owners could not have been more helpful. Games room on site was added bonus.

Rhiwal is a spacious house with a large gardens and lots of facilities, including a games room. The games room was an instant hit with the children and adults alike with a large variety of things to keep occupied. If you had a very wet day and didn’t fancy going out then this is big plus. The children loved looking after the chickens and always looked forward to see how many eggs there were in the morning. The house is very well maintained and clean, all of the rooms are spacious with good facilities. As is usual with large properties in rural locations the water pressure can vary and the showers provided lots of amusement if they suddenly dipped too cold. Anyway they always returned to normal and we all benefited from improved blood circulation. The property is perfectly located to explore the Llyn Peninsula which has an awful lot to offer from great walks to lovely beaches. Porthmadog is only about 30 minutes away for access to the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways. Mount Snowdon and the surrounding area are only a bit further away so there is always lots of activities and places to visit. We will certainly stay here again if we are in a large family group, and will definitely be recommending it to others. We could not have been more pleased with our choice of accommodation and a big thank you to our hosts Carys and Malcolm.

What a lovely place to stay in a fantastic part of Wales! The house is just beautiful and is tastefully decorated with thought given to comfort in every space. We really loved the warm Welsh welcome pack and the fresh flowers. It gave a great start to our break. We had a magical family time here and it was good to have the space to allow three generations to gather comfortably. The games barn was a great hit, as were the sandpit and swings. Our grandson loved seeing the cows, but especially the hens. He was delighted to collect the eggs! The owners are just lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. Our stay here, sadly, was too short and we hope we’ll be back to spend a longer time to enjoy being around the house and getting to see more of the beautiful area. Diolch.

What can I say that hasn’t already said by the other reviewers. The house is fantastic with every amenity one could ask for, and as an added bonus, a games room. Myself and my grandson played pool every evening after returning from the very beautiful beaches nearby. We also sat on the patio enjoying a nice glass of wine or two surrounded by the lovely gardens and the beautiful views.The owners were there to greet us and made us felt very welcome on our arrival.
My grandson, aged 9, was very excited to be looking after the chickens everyday and was even more excited when he discovered the eggs each day, and was very sad to say goodbye to them when we had to leave. We are now back in London and our thoughts wander back to the lovely time we had at Rhiwal.

Wow! We had the perfect stay at Rhiwal. As we walked in to the gorgeous kitchen the view to the garden pulled us outside. The outside space was amazing, a massive private space with so much to do. Lying in the hammock between the trees as everyone plays basketball. It was great to have cows peeping over to say hello and our own hens which gave us 3 eggs every day. The games barn was brilliant with pool, snooker, table tennis and more! There was even a sandpit! We loved eating outside at the table on the patio and spent every night toasting marshmallows at the firepit. Heaven. The rest of the house was fantastic too, the girls loved watching iplayer and netflix and the beds were so comfy, we all slept so well. There is so much to explore in the area, we used to nip to the beach to watch the sunset and have an evening swim. However, we spent more time than usual at the property since it was so peaceful. The owners were brilliant and provided everything we needed and more! They left us in peace but were always at the end of the phone if we needed anything. A magical week and I hope we can book again for next year!

Wow! This property was fantastic and the owners so helpful. The amenities (kitchen is like a Swiss Army knife:all the gadgets) and decor were excellent with comfortable beds and cosy seats. The games room and fire pit were a real bonus for our family with two energetic children as was the large garden to play football and basketball. Rhiwal is close to many beautiful beaches (visited 5 different ones in 5 days) with shops about 10mins by car. We throughly enjoyed our holiday here and will return. The chickens were an added bonus! Thank you !
