Y Big Cottage

Y Big is a traditional detached Welsh cottage in the countryside near Morfa Nefyn, on a quiet private lane with wonderful views down the Llŷn Peninsula to the slopes of Garn Fadryn.

A peaceful single-storey cottage near Morfa Nefyn, with views down the Llŷn

All on one level, the cottage has two bedrooms — a double with en-suite WC and basin, and a twin — and two bathrooms, including a wet room with a walk-in shower. The lounge has a wood-burning stove, and a conservatory makes the most of the countryside views — a lovely place to sit with a book. The farmhouse-style kitchen has a dishwasher, and outside there is a paved patio with an outdoor dining table and a chiminea for cooler evenings. Thoughtfully run, the cottage is warmed by a ground-source heat pump and solar panels, so it is as green as it is comfortable, and there is plenty of off-road parking.

Things to do nearby

Y Big’s rural setting is its great charm — open countryside, far-reaching views and proper peace and quiet, yet only a mile or so from the coast. The beach and headland at Porthdinllaen, with the National Trust’s beachside Tŷ Coch Inn, are a short drive or a good walk, and the clifftop Nefyn & District golf course is nearby. Walkers are spoiled: the Wales Coast Path, the slopes of Garn Fadryn with its Iron Age hillfort, and the dramatic quarrying village and Welsh language centre at Nant Gwrtheyrn are all close at hand. The wider peninsula — Pwllheli, Abersoch, Llanbedrog and Aberdaron — is within easy reach, and with so little light pollution, the night skies here are wonderful for stargazing.

Who it suits

Single-storey and secluded, Y Big suits a couple or small family who want peace, views and a green conscience, with beaches and walking close by. The single level is a bonus for guests who prefer to avoid stairs. Two dogs are welcome, kept on leads as the garden is unfenced and surrounded by fields with sheep.

Good to know

Powered largely by its own ground-source heat pump and solar panels, Y Big is a genuinely eco-friendly getaway, and the chiminea on the patio keeps the evenings warm long after the sun has dropped behind the hills. The countryside views down the peninsula to Garn Fadryn, best enjoyed from the conservatory, are a real highlight. As the garden is unfenced and surrounded by fields, dogs need to be kept on leads.
