Blue Cottage is wonderful. The views cannot be beaten, and the condition and decoration are lovely. The electric meter works well. A pound coin gives several hours of electricity in the summer. It is also clean and comfortable, as long as you don't mind having to go downstairs for the toilets (the bedrooms are upstairs). Overall, a great place and right on the coastal hiking path.

Beautiful little old cottage which made us feel we'd stepped back in time. The lack of television and WiFi were a real plus for us. Sitting watching the sea washed away all the minor stresses and strains of everyday life. Fantastic base to explore the beauty of the Lleyn peninsula with great walks from the door.
