"We had a blissful week at Nant Bach."
The cottage is down a track through a wood which adds to its magic. The cottage itself is charming and had everything we could need including a welcome pack and enough wood and kindling to get the wood burner going. Plenty of lovely beaches nearby and it’s not too far to drive to the Llanberis pass. The WiFi was hit and miss; however, that only added to our enjoyment at this retreat. We are completely refreshed and will return.

"Very poor driveway to property."
Bedroom not suitable, very claustrophobic, very low ceiling and beams. Property needs a good deep clean and making more homely. Bad phone and Internet reception. Dog loved the woods but we will not be going back.

"We have had a lovely stay at Nant Bach."
what a beautiful cozy place to stay. The Cottage is wonderful and John was helpful with the Internet when we couldn't get it to work. Our Two dogs Betsy and Bear had a great time and the beach was just a stones throw away for them to run about. In all it was just perfect. Thank you Diane, Garry, Betsy and Bear

"Again we had a really enjoyable time and the owners couldn't be more helpful and friendly."
The woods are an additional attraction for children.
-
"Excellent accommodation, great setting and lovely hosts."
Would highly recommend for a young family looking for a handy base on the Llyn and near to Nefyn. We’re repeat visitors and have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday,
-
"The cottage is in a beautiful, secluded location, with great views of the countryside, but still in good proximity to pubs, shops and beaches."
It's a great base for exploring the Llyn Peninsula. The cottage is a really nicely done barn conversion. It's well laid out, spacious and very comfortable. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend Nant Bach. We'll be back.

"We loved staying at Nant Bach."
Everything was absolutely great. Nant Bach is a beautiful place, surrounded by woods and open fields. It was so peaceful, a great place to unwind. We would recommend it to anyone. We are hoping to stay again next year. The detailed instructions of how to find Nant Bach were excellent. The owner John was very welcoming and easy to talk to. The only thing we suggested is that phone numbers for a GP surgery and Vets be added to the comprehensive information book.

"Lovely location in traditional rural setting."
Very peaceful, great base to explore the Llyn peninsula.

"A very comfortable and enjoyable stay at Nant Bach, and I would be very happy to return."
The owners were very welcoming and helpful,and the welcome goodies were much appreciated.This lovely old cottage is set in the owners' extensive and beautiful grounds. The views all around are lovely,and the plot is very private although only a short distance from Nefyn and the coast, and is also easy to find.The only downside to my holiday was the atrocious weather which I did not expect at the end of April/early May.I only had two decent days, and sunshine on only one day- the rest of the time there were leaden skies, rain and wind.I am used to booking holidays well ahead of time,but having had two cottage holidays already this year with disappointing weather, I am now changing tack and will now be a last minute booker when I know the weather will be acceptable. However,Nant Bach is an ideal cottage to stay in whatever the weather. The two sofas are superbly comfortable, and the cottage is warm. The very calming birdsong all around is a treat.Highly recommended if, like me, your choice of holiday cottage is an old, beamed property with stone walls, wooden stable doors, a large cast iron roll top bath, and a spacious new shower.Many Thanks.

"Lovely cottage ideal for our 2 dogs as spacious with practical wooden flooring."
Quite a few maintenance issues need addressing though. Main doors to front & back entrance difficult to open as too tight to the floor. Door to small bedroom doesn't close. Cold tap in bathroom squeals when turned on. Electrics in main upstairs bedroom need looking at as main light switch often didn't turn on the light at all or light just flickering on & off. Access to property will also be much better once the stone has been fully laid which is already in progress. Our car got stuck in the mud once trying to pull out from the top of the driveway onto the main road.

"A beautiful cottage just off the A497 Pwllheli road, the cottage was built around the 1800's and this is what makes it so beautiful with the old beams etc."
There is a forest walk down the side too that you can use. We were met by John and Adele who live in their cottage at the side of Nant Bach, if you have any problems they are there to help. As you are just off the A497 this gives you access to the roads to travel to Porthmadog which is 25 mins away, if you do go to Porthmadog try Good Mood restaurant for some fabulous food. Pwllheli to Caernarfon is 32 mins away and its 45 mins from Pwllheli to Bangor. If you want a break away in a beautiful cottage in Wales then I recommend Nant Bach. Thank you so much John and Adele for a wonderful break, we hope to see you all soon.

"A beautiful cottage in a fantastic location, perfect for beaches and peaks."
Stunning views from the garden / woods. Adele & John the owners so friendly, chilled and accommadating. P.s You have a great place in a stunning area and thank you so much for the welcome goodies. Steve, Kristy & Ebony the Cocker Spaniel

"Beautiful place."
So tranquil. The owners are absolutely lovely. Kind, generous and thoroughly good people.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Nant Bach."
After a long drive we were treated with a warm welcome, a warm cosy cottage with a very nice welcome pack. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything to make the stay perfect. John the owner was on hand for advice on the area and where to visit for food and drink. A great first visit to the area with some lovely beaches nearby. We hope to return. Thank you.

"Not criticism but maybe needs looking at , you cannot use the lights in the house when it's dark to go from the main bedroom to the other side of the building ie bathroom and front room as the light switches are by the front door , we used a torch or left the small table lamp on , also an outside light by the door would be nice, but these are not major things just maybe for the future."
-
"Had lovely stay ."
Cottage was delightful . Had our 2 dogs with us. Plenty places to go for long walks locally. Good pub about 2 min drive away and great food and dog friendly . Will definitely be returning at some point in the near future Ian , Karen , Archie and Rupert

Owners friendly and always willing to help.

"We had a lovely welcome from the owners ."
They were friendly and approachable . Their property is fabulous if you want a break in a quiet corner of Penllŷn . Private and lovely walks through the woods on the property . Highly recommended .

"Great place to stay, great location."
Hosts are super friendly and couldn’t do enough to help, making travelling with 2 young children easy. Can not recommend enough. Thank you for having us, we will be back!
-
"We spent a wonderful week here in June, the property is set in a very quiet location and the dogs loved having their own bit of forest."
As a rule we never visit the same place twice but would definitely stay here again.
-
"Loved the cottage and outdoor seating area, set in beautiful surroundings."
If we're being over critical, the bathroom taps need attention, the fridge needs a light and the freezer door needs fixing. Other than that, all good.
-
"Friendly owners who shared their property and allowed us freedom to roam on their land."
Our dog loved it. Plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the garden.Quirky property which was comfortable, great shower, taps need some maintenance in bathroom. Also maybe a light when navigating stairs in middle of night to get to the loo! Switch is over the other side of kitchen. Loved our stay and would go back.
-
"Our 2nd visit to Nant Bach and again we had an amazing holiday."
John and Adel are so welcoming and helpful...and the cottage is comforting and clean. We all enjoyed the views and our wee dog loved the walks! A perfect place to relax and unwind........thank you.

"Lovely cosy cottage with beautiful views Very peaceful great for chilling out and Relaxing 10 to 15 minutes away from beautiful beaches."
-
"We have just returned from a lovely week's stay here."
The owners were warm and welcoming and on hand if you needed anything. The cottage was everything it was described and our dogs loved the walk in the woods. Easily accessible for some lovely beach walks couldn't have asked for more
-
"This is a lovely holiday cottage."
It's a special little place, very quiet and secluded. You definitely need a car to enjoy the surrounding area but there are amazing views and beautiful sunsets. Beaches are very close and the Bryn Cynnan pub just five minutes drive away serves good food and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
-
"Beautiful place in a perfect location."
Lovely owners who were really helpful. Hoping to return later this year.
-
"Fantastic cottage and location."
The woodland area was perfect for the dog. John and Adele we're great hosts, Warm and welcoming. We wanted a quiet, calm getaway and that's exactly what we got!!
-
"An excellent property with good facilities and delightful woodland to the rear."
Our dogs loved it as much as we did, highly recommended.
-
"What an amazing staycation."
My partner and I totally fell in love with the cottage. Comfy, cosy and perfect for a week of relaxing. Our dogs thought it was the best place ever! A small woodland for the back garden with sheep and cows is nearby fields to hello to, they were in their element. There were so many walks and places to visit locally we were spoilt for choice. Absolutely loved it!
-
"Would recommend Nant Bach without hesitation!"
Cosy cottage, lovely warm welcome and fantastic views! Thanks for having us.
-
"Fabulous short birthday break."
Stunning property full of character. Great care taken to provide you with everything needed. Spotlessly clean. Excellent comfortable bed, quality bed linen. Would definitely recommend and would love to return again one day.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay in Nant Bach."
The cottage is beautiful with a real fire to relax by and all the wood and resources provided for you. It was so nice to stay in an old stone cottage. The garden is great and we were allowed to play in the owner’s woods at the back. My daughter loved the swings hanging from the trees. The view from the garden is gorgeous. The cottage is well located for the beaches and Snowdonia is an hour’s drive. John the host is very nice and helpful. Thanks and we’d love to come back
-
"This is a grade 2 listed building."
It is in a very quiet and peacefull location, set in it's own woodland. The view from the garden is fabulous. Nefyn is just 2 miles away. John and Adele are lovely and welcoming. If you need to forget the world for awhile, this is the place for you! If not, the wifi is excellent.
-
"Lovely cottage, full of character, in great location to explore the surrounding area."
Wood on the doorstep was perfect for walking the dog. Very friendly and helpful owners, cottage has everything you could need for a self catering holiday.
-
"Fabulous location and scenery, we really enjoyed the peace and quiet."
The oldy world rustic country cottage style was just up our street, completely authentic, which is why we understand that some of the mod con facilities were missing, but it was no big deal. The only thing we would recommend is some lighting on the stairs from the bedroom. There are 2 deep steps from the bedroom to the short wooden staircase and the ceilings were low. We felt this was a bit risky given that there was no natural light outside and no night lights inside. Awkward if you need the loo at night, thankfully a torch was provided. Nevertheless we would recommend and re book.
-
"Stunning location John & Family was super welcoming We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nant Bach"
-
"Nant Bach was a brilliant place to stay for our family holiday."
Our kids loved exploring the woods and the seeing sheep in the next field. Would highly recommend! It’s also a great based to explore the peninsula as Abersoch is only a 15min drive away.
-
"We had a wonderful week away."
The cottage is beautiful and in a lovely, peaceful spot. Our children loved playing in the garden and exploring the land around the cottage. The cottage had all the equipment we needed for our stay which was great and made life so much easier. John and Adele were really friendly and welcoming nothing was too much trouble. The welcome basket on arrival was a really lovely touch too - thank you! The property is in a excellent location making it so easy to get around. It is a beautiful area with so much to do and see. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will definitely visit again!
-
"Very enjoyable stay in a beautiful, quiet location."
Property is very nice and full of character and suited us as a family of four well. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Very good spot from which to explore the Llyn peninsula. The local beaches are good but we strongly recommend Porthor (Whistling Sands) for a safe sandy beach for the family.
-
"A fabulous location with amazing views of the countryside."
It was so peaceful. My dog loved roaming among the gardens and woods belonging to the property. One week is not enough!
-
"The hosts John and Adele were very welcoming, friendly and helpful."
The barn was charming and everything you could possibly need. The dogs were able to run free on the land and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves as we did too. Would definitely like to go again and would recommend. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
-
"The bed is described on your listing as a kingsize."
This is factually incorrect. It is a standard 4'6" double bed. This matters very much to us as we have one at home. kingsize beds are generally made of 2 independently sprung mattresses so that one partner does not disturb the other when constantly moving through pain, or getting up to go to the toilet. Both get a better sleep. We had intended to complete the coast path but were so tired we were unable to walk at all on 2 days and came home early. I would never have booked this accommodation if I had known, I only ever book places with kingsize beds. (you can check my other bookings with Sykes). The property owners seemed to be lovely, helpful people who obviously work very hard, so I do not understand this deliberate mis-description and breach of trust with their visitors. We feel very let down and unable to trust Sykes again.
-
"Great relaxing holiday helped no doubt by the lovely weather."
Spacious dog friendly property & gardens from the flagstone/wooden floors to the mown paths thro the surrounding woods which were fully enclosed allowing our dog to wander on his own. Comfy sofas, beds & a great smart TV. Owners were very friendly as were their visiting parents who our dog took quite a shine to. Excellent location for touring round about including a visit to our well loved Betws-y-coed. For eating out tho we travelled all of 2 mins to Y Bryncynan, a dog friendly restaurant offering excellent food & a great beer garden (visited 4 times). We so enjoyed this property & would love to come back for a fortnight next time. Thank you John & Adele. P.S. Jaffa says thanks for the ball John.
-
"The surrounding garden and woods provided an absolute paradise for children."
Adults also had easy access to the woods as there are mown paths to follow. The cottage has been beautifully renovated and is furnished to a high standard. Overall we had a brilliant holiday with these friendly and helpful hosts.
-
"Beautiful place and an ideal location for us."
Peaceful and removed but with easy access to nearby shops, pubs etc. The cottage is clean, comfortable and warm. Importantly, it’s run by nice people. We did not want to leave. Will be booking again.
-
"Lovely cottage, and the scenery was beautiful."
We really enjoyed our stay here, the owners were very accommodating too.
-
"Just returned from Nant Bach an away from it all break ."

"We have recently just returned from this lovely Rural cottage set in the lovely ..."
We have recently just returned from this lovely Rural cottage set in the lovely countryside on the limb peninsula the driveway up to the cottage is a very bumpy ride just take your time we loved our time at the cottage the log fire is a great asset the kitchen was well equipped The only negative points we would say is that on the listing the bed is described as king-size but in fact it is only a double The owners were lovely and welcoming on arrival and the welcome gifts was a lovely touch we would definitely return
-
"We really enjoyed our stay, thanks!"
A perfect place to unwind and relax. The property is lovely and we were well looked after by our hosts. The welcome pack was a nice touch too and very welcome after a long drive! Although a quiet location you are within just a few minutes drive to beaches and amenities, including the pub! Great walks close by. We will certainly return and would highly recommend to others. Thanks John and Adele.
-
"Such a lovely, cosy holiday cottage in a fab setting."
Facilities are good (could do with egg cups though) & everywhere was clean. The welcome basket is a nice touch. We were very sad to have to leave early due to testing positive for covid. We will definitely be coming back.
-
"We absolutely loved our stay at Nant Bach, the cottage was really well equipped and very clean."
The grounds are beautiful and the owners are really friendly and helpful, with loads of useful tips about the surrounding area. We would definitely recommend and would love to come back!
-
"Lovely place so peaceful and relaxing didn't want to leave"
-
"We had a wonderful stay at Nant Bach."
The cottage is perfectly situated to explore the Llyn Peninsula and we couldn't fault it at all. John and Adele were truly wonderful hosts and bent over backwards to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.
-
"This is a beautiful cottage."
Setting is gorgeous and the cottage is the best we have stayed in yet. Very warm and cosy. Lovely little welcome basket left for us on arrival. Can not fault this at all. Thank you very much
-
"Superb stay, really enjoyed the cottage and its surroundings"
-
"Nant is a lovely cottage set in a secluded spot, but still very conveniently placed for visiting the wider area."
There are splendid views from the grounds, and the cottage itself is warm and comfortable, with everything that one needs for a week's holiday. The owners left us with a generous welcome tray, which was much appreciated. We hope to visit again.
-
"Nant Bach really is a hidden gem located in the most beautiful setting close to the most stunning beaches and villages."
The photos really don't do this place justice. The owners are extremely welcoming and happy to give advice and answer any questions you may have. We stayed as a family of 4 with our cockapoo and we could not recommend it more.
-
"Very relaxed, great owners who were very hospitable."
-
"We had a lovely week at this unique place ."
The owners of the property were very friendly and helpful . The property and the grounds are perfect for a family stay and the dog loved it too . The photos on the website don’t do this place justice , the bathroom has a new shower and toilet and the barn and surrounding spaces bigger than we expected . The woodland right outside the door was perfect for a quiet early morning stroll with the dog . The beaches nearby were great and just a 45 minute drive to Snowdonia too . All in all a great place !
-
"Amazing place to stay, owners very welcoming and friendly."
Perfect for taking dogs as lots of space to walk them in the grounds. Lovely views and very peaceful and relaxing. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Only addition could maybe be a washing machine to wash swill beach wear at the end of the day, I’m sure if we’d asked the owners would have let us use theirs though, that’s how friendly they were! Definitely recommend
-
"Wonderful place to stay."
Peaceful with beautiful views. Great hosts too.
-
"Fantastic place to stay, the views are amazing from the grounds of the cottage, great for anyone with dogs, as fully secure."
The cottage itself is very quirky, whitewashed walls make it seem lovely and cool, and facilities are great. Welcome pack was also a lovely surprise. Definitely recommend and will more than likely return. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
-
"We had a lovely stay here for 4nights."
Great location and base for walks in Snowdonia and surrounds. Excellent facilities, brand new bathroom is a great addition and the grounds were a wonderful surprise, our dog loved the space and overall the property is very dog friendly. The owners were lovely and on hand if anything was needed, welcome telephone call to discuss places to eat out etc... was helpful for pre booking. We were pleased to be able to arrange asda delivery however supermarket isn't far away and also only short drive to the beach where there is a pub to watch the sunset with a pint. Lovely welcome pack and lots of helpful supplies however couldn't find an iron or hairdryer - but sure owners would provide if asked. Would love to stay again.
-
"John has created a beautiful idyllic countryside retreat."
The woods at the back were a wonderful surprise and the views are breathtaking. Highly recommend for people who want some quite downtime and the welcome pack was again a very nice surprise with quality products. We can’t wait to come back and keep up the great work ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
-
"Had a really nice week in Wales."
Family who owned property are very friendly and helpful. Cottage was nice, amazing shower, and lovely big lounge space to chill out. garden was great for kids to play in. They loved the surrounding woods and log swings
-
"Such a friendly welcome, owners couldn’t have been more helpful."
Cottage was so interesting and set in acres of woodland. There was a lot of space, excellent shower and bathroom with lashings of hot water. Really well equipped - wanted to take the cooker home !! There was nothing that we needed that was not provided. Bombay Joe’s Indian restaurant was good and the Spar in Nefyn was phenomenal. Will be back!
-
"Lovely space, beautiful setting."
A very good new shower and toilet has recently been fitted that is not yet reflected in the photos. Would recommend.
