North Wales Holiday Cottage with Sea Views | Yr-Efail

Near BeachNear Pub

This charming North Wales holiday cottage with sea views is set in an idyllic village location walking distance from the beach and local pub. Three bedrooms, two doubles and one twin, can sleep up to 6 people plus a cot.

To make the most of the fantastic panoramic sea views the house has been arranged with the bedrooms on the ground floor and the living rooms on the first floor. The dining room and lounge are combined into one open plan space.

A modern oak dining table and chairs sits one end of the room complimented by some select ornaments and paintings. At the other end of the room a luxuriously large sofa sits facing onto a pleasing living flame fire. The rug, curtains and soft furnishings are all beautifully chosen.

From here we can access what is perhaps the best thing about this house, the wonderful sun terrace. Split onto two levels with wooden decking this is the perfect place for guests those sea views.

I can well imagine Dad taking charge of the BBQ, some local welsh lamb perhaps or welsh black beef steaks. The rest of the family sit and chat at the patio table drinking chilled whine wine and tumblers of squash pilled high with ice.

Back inside we turn right into the kitchen. Modern cream units sit under a black worktop. All the modern featured you would expect including a dishwasher, washing machine, large fan oven, induction hob and second combination oven. A glass panel door also offers access back out onto the sun terrace.

As mentioned there are three bedrooms downstairs. Each room is beautifully decorated and each has large modern comfortable beds. The beautifully tilled family bathroom has a bath with shower over. A second shower is housed in a generously sized en-suite bathroom.

Location

 

Dyffryn Ardudwy is a lovely little village half way between Harlech and Barmouth on the Cambrian Coast Road. Two pubs in the village. The first is within easy walking distance the other is a little further but still no need for the car. The post office, grocery shop and butchers are also only a short distance from the house. The larger towns of Harlech and Barmouth are 5 minutes away by car and offer more choice of shops and restaurants etc.

The beach in the village is fantastic. Huge rolling sand dunes stretch up and down this part of the coastline. Wonderfully clean water and gently sloping coastline provides a safe environment for all ages.

The mountains behind the house are a big favorite of many who know this area. Cwm Nantcol and Cwm Bychan must count among the most beautiful mountain valleys in the National Park. As well as mountain walking the more adventurous might enjoy white water rafting on the Tryweryn river, mountain biking at Coed Y Brenin or gorge walking with our friends at Snowdonia Adventure Activities.

We had a lovely week at Yr-Efail. The cottage is really comfortable and well equipped. Wonderful views and we were lucky with the weather. The shop with the butchers counter is great for the bbq which we took advantage of. The nearby beaches are wonderful and you can walk from the cottage but perhaps a little far if you are less able. Can drive and park near beach however. About half hour to Portmeirion to visit.

We had a very pleasant stay in comfortable cottage. This was our first time in (north) Wales and were pleasantly surprised by the Snowdonia nature and beautiful beaches along the coast. We explored the mountains per mountain bike and had some really great tours. The cottage itself was very comfortable, spacious and had a very well equipped kitchen and a big garage for safe storage of our bikes. We didn’t got the chance to try out the BBQ but the view from the terrace is great.

Throughly enjoyed our stay at Yr-Efail. Very clean & tidy with loads of room. The outdoor space & BBQ were very much enjoyed. A real treat to be able to walk to the beach, picking up an ice cream on route from the camp site shop. Visited Barmouth twice, caught the train from the smallest station/platform that you cross whilst on route to the beach. Some interesting shops & places to eat, fabulous beach & well worth a wander across the Barmouth bridge. Harlech castle, Pwllheli, steam train from Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog, train from Llanberis to Snowdon summit, various zip world experiences…….
Overall a great location for visiting north wales. We crammed in loads, just wish we’d stayed for longer so that we could have enjoyed the house & beach more!
Would definitely like to stay again at Yr-Efail!

Holiday let was spacious and comfortable. Only issue were the steps in the en-suite they were incredibly slippery which resulted in one of us falling but once we realised this was an issue we took extra precautions.

The property was well maintained and presented well, and plenty of hot water and showers were great; the heating was also well managed, the property was warm, and the gas fire was a bonus, which we used for evenings in the local area the views are amazing. On the coastline, we visited the Corris mines and Harlech Castle, which was our favourite place. There were some lovely shops and places to eat, and we also visited Caernarfon Castle. We went to Mobar restaurant, which is very near the cottage, and it was excellent, as was Dylan’s in Criccieth.
Overall a really nice few days away.
Overall you will not be disappointed with the cottage, it is above expectations, but please be warned about the exit onto the main road as a steep uphill entry and blind view suggest as we did one of your cars gets out and guides the driver. OR go the other way down narrow roads to exit coming back up into nearby village next to Huws & Grays.

We loved our week at Yr-Efail. The house was so bright and welcoming to come home to at the end of a day’s sightseeing, with wonderful views towards the sea and mountains from the lounge. We found Dyffryn Ardudwy to be a really good base for exploring north Wales, with plenty of good pubs and restaurants within a few minutes’ drive of the house (including the Ysgethin Inn at Talybont, the Victoria Inn at Llanbedr and Norbar, just outside Barmouth). We’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely stunning cottage with everything you need for your stay!
The views from the patio are amazing 🙂
Could do with some clear instructions for the fire place. A few decking slabs are beginning to get tired so would need to be replaced.
Location was great for getting out and about and making the most of the surrounding areas.
Otherwise we had a lovely stay and will definitely book with Dioni again!

Lovely cottage, clean and well equipped, fantastic view, walking distance to the beach, what’s not to like?!

Very pleasant and comfortable cottage in an excellent location for getting to the beach and exploring the Snowdonia coast and mountains. One or two niggles on arrival that were resolved the next day by the owner, which was good service. Would use as a base for this area again.
