The Piggery Holiday Cottage

A welcoming stone retreat for two in the Llŷn countryside

Tucked into the rolling countryside of the Llŷn Peninsula near Pwllheli, this charming one-bedroom stone cottage is made for couples. It sleeps two, blends original character with comfortable modern touches, and enjoys lovely views over garden, sea and mountains from its sun terrace. With its wood-burning stove, smart bathroom and peaceful setting in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is a genuinely restful spot to unwind — and it is rated exceptionally highly by guests, at 9.6 out of 10.

Character and comfort for a couple

Inside, the cottage has real warmth: exposed wooden beams, a green sofa to sink into, and a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings in (with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that open straight out to the garden). The single bedroom is complemented by a striking bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and a separate glass shower — a treat after a day on the coast path. A fully equipped kitchen with dining table means you can cook and eat at your own pace, and the whole place is geared towards a relaxed, grown-up break.

The setting and the views

The cottage sits in open Welsh countryside, with sea, garden and mountain views from the sun terrace and patio — an idyllic place for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Free private parking on site and free WiFi (which guests rate a perfect 10) round things off, along with an outdoor seating area, a picnic spot and bicycle parking for anyone bringing wheels.

Who it suits

This is very much a romantic bolthole for two. It is adults-only (the minimum check-in age is 18) and does not take pets, so it is best suited to couples after peace, privacy and a touch of style rather than families or groups. If you are looking for a quiet, welcoming base to explore the beaches and headlands of the Llŷn — or simply to switch off in lovely surroundings — it is hard to beat. Walkers, cyclists and anyone who enjoys a slow, scenic holiday will feel right at home, with the coast and the mountains both within easy reach.
