Hen Blas Cottage

Hen Blas is a characterful first-floor apartment right in the heart of Aberdaron, the whitewashed fishing village at the western tip of the Llŷn Peninsula. With exposed beams, a woodburning stove and a river view, and the beach just fifty yards away with shops and pubs next door, it is a brilliant little bolthole for a couple or small family who want to step out of the door and straight into village life by the sea.

A characterful apartment in the heart of Aberdaron, fifty yards from the beach

Set above a village café, it has two bedrooms — one double and one twin, each with a TV — and a bathroom with a bath and separate shower. The sitting room, warmed by the woodburner, opens to a dining area, and the kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer; a cot and highchair are available for little ones. There is free roadside parking on a first-come basis, with additional off-road parking a couple of minutes away. The location is the real luxury here — you can leave the car and walk to everything.

Things to do nearby

Aberdaron is one of the most special villages in Wales — a cluster of lime-washed cottages around a golden beach, with the medieval church of St Hywyn right on the shore and the historic pilgrims’ café, Y Gegin Fawr, still serving teas after 600 years. From Hen Blas you are moments from the sand, the village shop, the cafés and the pub. This was the last staging post for pilgrims crossing to holy Bardsey Island (Ynys Enlli), and seasonal boat trips still run out from Porth Meudwy. Walk a stretch of the coast path to the Whistling Sands at Porthor, or simply settle on the beach below the village with an ice cream.

Who it suits

With two bedrooms and a cot and highchair available, Hen Blas suits a couple or small family who want a characterful base right in the heart of the village, moments from the beach. The first-floor position above a café puts you at the centre of village life, so do bear the stairs in mind. One dog is welcome too.
