Otter Cottage - Self-catering house in Gwynedd
Llwyndyrys, Pwllheli, LL5 6RH, Gwynedd
Wales,
Royaume-Uni
The garden and river are magic. Children and teenagers will be splashing in the deep bits or hurling themselves over stepping stones and getting wet wellies - there are trout too and fishing with a permit. You can eat outside in the garden facing the river while spotting kingfishers, dippers, mallards and merganser near the water, and kites and buzzards overhead. It's remote, so you shan't need to shush children, just let them go feral, building dams, making dens, climbing trees.
Inside is cosy with underfloor heating and massive insulation, plenty of comfy seating and a swish kitchen at one end with stone worktops and all the gear you need to cook well. There are pretty windows for enjoying the views and sweet bedrooms upstairs where you can fall asleep listening to the river burbling.
Set off on a network of small lanes with a bike, or tramp along footpaths in 500 blissful acres. There's a good drying room for your wet gear.

Local points of interest from Chris Williams-Ellis:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Chris Williams-Ellis:
- The isolated and wildly romantic 13th Century Carnguwch Church can be accessed by foot from Otter Cottage, this is a lovely pre or post-lunch walk along quiet lanes and over-fields. A key to the church is available from it's treasurer at the nearby farm
- A short drive to the mountain road above Llanalhearn is the start of the walk to Tre'r Ceiri, (the Town of the Giants), the views as you climb are spectacular and the walk rewards you with Britain's best-preserved and remarkably intact Iron Age fort.
- Narrowing the choice of Snowdonia's best mountains to climb is tricky, Snowdon of course, there is also Tryfan and our favorite Cnicht also recently highlighted in County Life with the banner 'If you only climb one mountain in your life, it should be this
- Beaches are many good the peninsula's south coast are busier and famously include Black Rock Llanbedrog and Abersoch. The northern beaches are quieter and form a string of unspoilt sandy coves. All can be reached within 5 to 20 mins.
- No visit to the Lleyn would be complete without a visit to Portmeirion, a bayside lunch at Dylan's Criccieth, an evening at Pontoon Pwllheli and a well-earned drink at the Ty Coch on Porthdinllaen Beach , voted the best pub in Wales
