"We really appreciated the welcome pack and home made focaccia."
The Sail Loft was beautifully decorated with the lovely seaside theme.
-
"Fantastic little cottage."
Beautiful location. Huge garden just right for Bailey the dog. Lots of local information on hand. Owners very pleasant - even took me to the local for a drink. Would definitely go back.
-
"Lovely place to stay for few days; hidden gem and so peaceful."
Lovely surroundings and views. Friendly owners and neighbours. Bed comfortable too. We will hopefully return next year. Thank you!
-
"Friendly and honest hosts, perfect holiday for my dog who had more room to roam privately here then at home."
Felt very welcomed and will definitely return.
-
"All as described."
High quality living space. The location, on the crest of a hill is spectacular, with views to both Llyn coasts. The local people are very friendly and willing to advise on local walks and facilities. The garden area is also thoughtfully maintained, with appropriate regard to ecological interests.

"We loved the location as it was easy to get to all the beautiful places on the Llyn Peninsula."
The property was spacious and light however with just a couple of additions it could be so be so much better for guests mainly the kitchen area. There's absolutely no worktop space to prepare or put anything. Any flat surfaces are taken up with lovely (and expensive) ornaments but there's just way too many and they dont have any use. Coat hooks in the hall would be a nice touch along with a few more knives and forks in order to make and eat a meal. The garden is a large meadow but not enclosed and the patio isnt private which is stated on the description. The patio area is overlooked by the friendly owners and their dog as the accommodation was, up until a few years ago, the garage to their house. The sea views which are mentioned are quite hard to see as you have to look over another neighbours garden but the sunset is a real bonus! If the owners ever decide to make the few changes, particularly with regards to the kitchen, then we would definitely go back!

"Very quiet in a beautiful location."
Everything you need is there to make your stay comfortable. Very clean, with a welcome pack which we thought was a nice touch. On a clear day the views were stunning, our stay was so nice we didn’t want to leave. Would definitely recommend if you are a couple who want to get away from it all.

"What a fabulous break, the most relaxed I’ve been in years."
Lovely view from the huge glass window and patio. Surrounded by fields, peaceful and quiet. Lambs in the fields across were an added bonus, what a beautiful sight. The cottage itself is well presented, with a large comfy bed and the log fire is heavenly. We took provisions so we could at least have a cup of tea when we arrived, but there were tea bags, coffee, sugar, a bag of fresh ground coffee, milk, muesli, a loaf of bread, some Welsh cakes and a bottle of wine - what a lovely treat! Peter was about to great us, and kind enough to lend my husband a jacket, as he’d forgotten to take his own, in March. The hosts then made themselves scarce. Larry the dog was a sweetheart too. It was not too far to the beach and we walked there every day, it’s breathtaking. The whole peninsula was an outdoor lovers haven. We’ve recommended the Sail Loft to family and friends. And despite normally being someone who never goes to the same place twice, I’ve book at the Sail Loft later in the year, which I think speaks volumes about how much we loved it.

"Had a lovely few days with our dog - very tastefully decorated and functional place and lovely owners, friendly and available."
Will book again but for a longer break. Two thumbs up.
-
"Lovely little dog friendly retreat situated above Nefyn ."
Had a great short break although a lot of the cafes etc had closed down for winter. Plenty of stunning deserted beaches for long walks more than made up for this. The cooking pod had 4 rings , a microwave and we had toast and crumpets made on the wood burner . Perfect . The bathroom was a delight after a day out with hot water on demand .
-
"Overall we had a great holiday Peter and Alison were great hosts a lovely clean property and a great location."
Only one small downside for us was no blinds or curtains on main window. Apart from that perfect.
-
"We were very happy with the sail loft and pleased to find a sofa and tv in the lounge which we hadn't thought would be there."
The area was equally lovely, many walks and so dog friendly. We would happily return to the Sail Loft
-
"Very comfortable & quiet cottage with lovely views Perfect location for discovering this stunning part of Wales."
Hosts very friendly & welcoming
-
"The sail loft is perfect for a relaxing holiday."
The rural location makes for a peaceful time but only 5 minutes from Nefyn with its restaurants and beaches.

"100% would book The Sail Loft again!"
A great little place in a very quiet spot up the hill from the centre of Nefyn. We sadly didn't get good weather so spent more time inside than we'd have liked so a comfy sofa would have been an added bonus. A lovely welcome with a bottle of wine and Barra Brith (my favourite). If you intend on eating in you might want to take a few extra like a bigger frying pan, another saucepan and a good sharp knife. We had lots of things from camping the week previously so managed fine. It's clean, the bed is comfortable and the shower is fabulous. Plenty of very hot water! This a great year round retreat and base for your Welsh trip. Good walking routes on the doorstep, patio for sitting out and a log burning fire for cosy nights. Lovely friendly owners with a gorgeous labrador called Larry. We'll be back!

"Only grumble is no worktop space to prepare veg/dinner/put plates etc when serving up dinner etc."
We really struggled with this as we didn't want to eat out every night!! Fantastic with everything else the sail loft provided for us. Welcome gifts were really appreciated many thanks.

"Lovely little cottage, very quiet, just what we needed"
-
"We stayed for 3 nights with our dog and loved the bright, airy feel of the place."
The dog loved all the outside space while we sat enjoying sunny evenings on the patio. Great walking to be had with Mount Nefyn and incredible views just a short walk away, and the coastal path to take you as far down the peninsula as you like. I didn't find the layout of the kitchen/diner/lounge very effective - preparing meals was a bit of a juggling act and the furniture was not very comfortable or welcoming. But for 3 nights it was fine. The bed was wonderfully big and comfortable. The fridge was not working when we arrived but the owners were quick to contact the neighbour who could let us into the main cottage to use that fridge. So it was a little inconvenient but at least quickly sorted.

"We had to find another property the day before due to boiler burst in the original cottage."
The first skyr agent said a call back would be given after sending a few new choices never got it and when I rang back had to explain and felt it was not there job to.find me a place. They even sent me.ones woth none of my request in. And didn't like having to deal with 3 different people. The cottage was clean well situated as we are walkers. The only downfall I cook from.scratch both meat and vegetarian a d for d the lack of kitchen workspace a problem I would.go back but prepare the food before.we.go

"Perfect for two plus dog in a great location"
-
"A perfect getaway lodge for the two of us."
It was a great base for our first foray on the Llyn peninsula. Main room was comfortable and the ‘Italian’ kitchenette worked well for a small space. Bedroom and bathroom were lush and tastefully equipped. Loved the colour scheme! Got used to the narrow and winding country roads! A lovely spot and we would return given the chance!
-
"We stayed at home which is warmth and atmosphere."
Quiet place which the dog can rest or play but it was very nice neighbours which their dog came and played with us. Lovely view around sea and forest , walking. Recommend this house for people. Love it. Thank you
-
"Lovely property!"
I stayed at the Sail Loft with my dog & it was perfect for us. Spotlessly clean & nice design touches. Extremely comfortable and lovely outside space. The only thing that I would slightly disagree with in the description is the journey to the shops & beach. Its a very steep road only the width of one car. It would take about 45 minutes to get to the shop on foot and much longer to the beach however this wasn't a problem for me as I preferred to go by car.

"The wonderful stillness and quietness of this part of North Wales is a valuable human resource."
Thank you for the generous welcome gifts. Graham
-
"You did not mention that the sail loft was in the owners back garden."
Also mentioned in listing a dishwasher and washing machine neither was there. Also would advise that need to drive to nearest shops and definitely to the beach. Owners were very welcoming and friendly.
-
"Homely, peaceful and immaculate."
A gem!
-
"Great little cottage, lovely and quiet and had everything you needed for a nice little trip away."
Very modern and furnishings and decorations for the cottage were lovely. Peter and Alison helped us with all our queries so were fab hosts. Not too far to walk into the centre of Nefyn either from the cottage. We had a great week there! Our only feedback would be as it was a dog friendly cottage, if there could be a gate on the property as when in the garden the dog could run to the road if they wanted. Our dog was fine with staying with us, but just for extra peace of mind and would then give it a 10/10!

Set in a peaceful location on the Llyn Peninsula, backed by a forest and with views over to the sea, The Sail Loft is a wonderful bolthole for two in Wales.
Ideal for a couple seeking a tranquil break in beautiful surroundings, The Sail Loft is just a mile outside of Nefyn and a two-mile stretch of sandy beach.
Head inside this contemporary, single-storey abode and discover a bright and airy open-plan living space to relax in, with an attractive woodburning stove adding plenty of warmth in the winter months.
A small dining area provides a place to host a romantic meal for two, with the kitchenette home to a combination microwave oven with grill function, so you can rustle up something simple yet special.
Open up the patio doors to allow the fresh sea breeze into the property on summer days, stepping out into the huge garden and watching on from the outdoor furniture as your canine companion makes the most of the open space.
Settle down for the evening in the seaside themed bedroom which has a king-size bed and a TV, along with a unique set of drawers in the style of a row boat.
The lovely bathroom benefits from both a bath and a walk-in shower, so you can indulge in a soak or simply shower away the sand from the beach.
Head into the cliff-top town of Nefyn for all the essentials you need on your self-catered stay in Wales, with local shops, pubs and restaurants found here.
Wander down to the beach to enjoy the sandy shoreline, whether sunbathing in the sun, taking a dip in the sea or just exploring the rockpools and coves.
Keen golfers won't want to miss the opportunity to play on the 27-hole championship course at Nefyn & District Golf Club, with breath-taking scenery to keep you company as you put and a fabulous bar and restaurant inside to enjoy afterwards.
