Guest Book Comments
The house itself is in an ideal location, only 10 minutes walk away from a dog friendly beach. Lovely views from the bedroom windows across the fields. We had the log fire lit for a couple of the nights which was really lovely. I would highly recommend this cottage to anybody wanting to stay in a large group.
Abersoch is beautiful, plenty of bars and restaurants if you want to try them, although we quite enjoyed having a few bottles of wine in the cottage during the evenings and big family meals together. We all had a really lovely time and would highly recommend this place to anybody. Lesley was always available if we had any problems (not that we had any!).
The property was clean and well presented. The house has a large living area which provided plenty of room for all of us to relax and play games in the evenings. The kitchen area is incredibly well stocked. The outdoor seating area was lovely and secluded with a great BBQ which we were lucky enough to use one night.
Lesley was extremely helpful and accommodating. She was there to welcome us and show us round and ensure that we had everything we needed. Thank-you for a wonderful week!
This was our first ever holiday as a family with ages spanning between 16 and 70. It was just like home with large tv, sky, games, books and we all had a few games of pool. The BBQ was put to much use over our weeks stay and the large living space was put to much use in the evenings by all.
We all had a great time and would definitely recommend.
There was more than plenty of space for everyone and the games room was well used. Table football, pool and table tennis proved popular with all ages. Unfortunately we never got chance to use the bikes....always too much else to see and do.Weather was mild for time of year but we did light the log burner on our last evening.
Lesley and her husband were very friendly and helpful. The house is set in a beautiful area and we explored several places. Kids enjoyed a visit to Dwyford rabbit farm, crabbing off Abersoch jetty and the amusements at Pwllhei. We had a lovely walk along the beach at Nefyn watching a seal in the sea and enjoyed refreshments in the sun at Ty Coch Inn. Aberdaron is a nice little place with lovely coffee shops. The whole of the Llyn Peninsula is so beautiful.
The house is very well equipped and we had several family meals together in the dining area, including a fish and chip supper as well as a visit to Weatherspoons in Pwllhei. Overall a great place to stay. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Goleufryn.
Whilst we cannot guarantee availability for these dates, you may enquire below and we'll be in touch with the owner.
