Bryncaled

Bryncaled is a self catering two bedroom barn conversion near Chwilog on the Llyn Peninsula, North Wales

Bryncaled is a two bedroom barn conversion near Chwilog a beautiful and rural part of the Llyn peninsula. The sun was shining and the neighboring farmer was haymaking when we visited the cottage, so I think we saw it at its idyllic best.

Recently renovated this old stone cottage has been well designed and laid out. Its original stone exterior belies the up to date facilities within. A large bright kitchen-diner boasts a modern fully fitted kitchen as well as fantastic views over the surrounding fields and the mountains beyond.

The lounge is equally spacious. A comfortable 3 piece suit faces onto a renovated stone fireplace and chimney breast The original wooden beams and real wood flooring adds character and warmth to the room.

The adjoining hallway leads initially to the bathroom. Well laid out once again, with a shower over bath. Two bedrooms in total. One twin and one double. So perfect for small families but the price means it’s not unreasonable for two.
 

Location

There is one farmhouse nearby but apart from that Bryncaled is surrounded by green fields on all sides. The area is a stronghold for the welsh language and the cottage offers a true taste of rural Wales. The village of Chwilog is just over a mile away. The village has one pub, The Madryn, a post office and small corner shop for papers etc. The popular harbor town of Pwllheli and its boating marina is 5 miles away and the very fashionable seaside town of Abersoch a little further on again.

These seaside destinations are a must for all guest naturally. (Don’t forget to try the ice cream at ‘Cydwaladers’ when you get to Criccieth.) But the real advantage of staying in this cottage is the fact that the mountains of Snowdonia are also so accessible. Snowdon itself is only a short drive away and the area now offers an abundance of activities for all.

Centres for white water rafting, mountain biking and rock climbing are fast making Snowdonia the in place for adrenaline junkies. More leisurely and cultural pastimes are also available naturally. The area is littered with historic monuments and castles. Criccieth is the nearest, with Caernarfon and Conwy castle all within an hours drive. The gardens at Bodnant are also well worth a visit as are the art galleries in Llanbedrog and Llangefni.
