About this property

Complimentary Welcome Hamper

A complimentary welcome hamper will be awaiting you on your arrival containing milk, tea, fresh coffee, bread, butter, eggs, juice, wine and cheese, along with other essential items to prepare a light snack or breakfast. There may be some regional variations.

Cyplau is a traditional 18th century granite and slate cottage clad in honeysuckle. Two gamekeepers' cottages were converted into a cosy, warm, welcoming property during the 1960s, hence the name Cyplau (pronounced cup-lie) which is Welsh for coupled.

Backed by ancient woodland, nature provides many delights; birds including osprey, bluebells, clean air, starlit nights, and fiery sunsets over the sea create a tranquil rural setting. In an elevated position on the edge of Llanbedr, it is only a five minute walk to traditional inns serving pub food, a restaurant and the village shops.

Glimpses of the sea can be seen from the bedroom windows. Beautiful safe, un-crowded sandy beaches are just a five minute drive away. Rock pools, a small harbour with an activity centre, sand dunes, numerous shells and a beach cafe provide families with days of fun, fishing and freedom. Cycles can be hired in the village, guided wildlife safaris on the beach or take a flight over Snowdonia from the local airfield.
