Yr Hen Felin B&B

A characterful old mill bed and breakfast on the northern Llŷn

Yr Hen Felin — “the old mill” in Welsh — is a delightful bed and breakfast in the quiet village of Edern, on the beautiful northern stretch of the Llŷn Peninsula. With just three handsome en-suite rooms, original mill beams adding real character, and a warm welcome, it makes a peaceful, grown-up base for a couple or friends exploring this unspoilt corner of North West Wales and its glorious beaches.

Three characterful en-suite rooms

The accommodation is intimate and comfortable, with three individually styled rooms — ‘Rodyn, The Miller and Blue & Ivory — each with a super-king bed, an en-suite (with shower or bath), a TV and complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate and bottled water. Original beams from the building’s milling days feature in the bedrooms, giving the place a genuine sense of history. Breakfast is included, setting you up for a day on the coast, and there are lovely garden views to wake up to.

A peaceful, grown-up retreat

This is a calm, adults-oriented bolthole rather than a busy family hotel. The B&B does not accept pets, and it is best suited to older guests — children over the age of twelve are welcome (counted as one person), but it is not set up for young children. That focus on peace and quiet, in a sleepy village setting, is exactly what makes it such a relaxing place to unwind after a day of walking, beaches and sea air.

Who it suits

Yr Hen Felin is ideal for couples and friends who want somewhere characterful, quiet and welcoming on the Llŷn — walkers, beach-lovers and anyone after a peaceful escape. Its village setting puts you within easy reach of some of the finest beaches and coastline in Wales, while the intimate scale and adults-friendly policy make it a restful alternative to a larger hotel. If you are travelling with young children or a dog, it will not be the right fit; for a grown-up coastal break, it is a gem.
