Stay in a Cottage in Wales and Discover Some of Its Hidden Gems

Wales’ best-kept secret, the Lleyn Peninsula (Penrhyn Ll?n in Welsh:) is the long finger of land, that thrusts out towards Ireland, forming the northern arm of Cardigan Bay, as Pembrokeshire does the southern. At its very point lies Bardsey Island (Ynys Enlli), burial place of 20,000 saints, which has drawn pilgrims to its now ruined monastery, along the pilgrims’ road, ever since the 6th century.

Approximately 35 miles long by 10 miles at its widest, it is a unique and beautiful part of north Wales, renowned for its natural charm and mild climate. So spectacular is its coastline that acres of it have been protected by the National Trust and much of it has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its large number of protected sites – including a National Nature Reserve at Cors Geirch, a National Heritage Coastline and a European Marine Special Area of Conservation, as well as twenty Sites of Special Scientific Interest – confirms the Peninsula as one of the most scientifically important areas in the whole of the UK. A haven for wild flowers, rare butterflies, and birds, its indigenous flora and fauna attracts naturalists from far and wide.

It is this unique blend of unspoilt scenery; rocky coves; sandy beaches; mountains; open countryside, and wooded valleys, which makes Lleyn such a popular destination for both tourists and holiday home owners. There is also the added touch of “foreignness” with its unusual place-names and the Welsh language spoken around you, which makes the holiday that little different!

Often referred to as Snowdon’s Coastline, the Lleyn Peninsula offers many opportunities for the more active; walking, cycling, sailing, yachting, surfing, fishing, shooting, and golfing. For the lazy ones among you, there are miles of unspoilt, sandy coastline and safe bathing.

If you want to experience the delights of this area of Wales, why not start by visiting the Nefyn Holidays website www.nefynholidays.co.uk and finding yourself a cosy country cottage from which to discover hidden Wales.

Nefyn Holidays (Welsh Gwyliau Nefyn a’r Cylch) was established in 1970, and is a small independent cottage holiday letting agency. Based in an office on a smallholding in the hamlet of Ceidio, it is personally run and supervised by its two partners, Jean Bunford and Gwerfyl Thomas. Their affordable prices, coupled with their good old-fashioned and open approach to business, has, over the years, stood them in good stead, and they now have a repeat clientelle of over 60% who book with them each year.

A small company by today’s standards (the UK holiday market is, increasingly, dominated by huge American companies who have, or are buying up the smaller UK independents), the partners at Nefyn Holidays have the advantage of knowing all their cottages (and their owners) and are therefore well placed to help their customers chose the cottage that is just right for them.

Their wide-ranging property portfolio includes coastal and country cottages, modern bungalows, farmhouses, character cottages and a handful of caravans. They can all be found on their web site at www.nefynholidays.co.uk
