About this property
Trefor 2.3 miles. Overlooking pristine, rolling countryside and the stunning Irish Sea in the quaint, rural hamlet of Gyrn Goch near Trefor in Gwynedd, lies the excellent, sympathetically-restored church conversion of Hen Gapel Seion. Boasting off-road parking for two cars, a well-appointed rear garden, and exquisite interiors complete with exposed wooden beams and high vaulted ceilings, this charming holiday property welcomes a family or group of eight friends sharing for a relaxing escape within the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales. Park up, unpack, and make yourself at home in your wonderful new home. Head upstairs to the first-floor, open-plan living space that features a fully-equipped kitchen complete with breakfast bar seating, along with all the appliances required to rustle up a delicious, home cooked feast. Savour your meals around the dining table (lovingly made from original pews!) with your loved ones, or in warmer months, head through the bi-fold patio doors outside to dine on the garden furniture as you soak in your lovely new surroundings. The games room including pool table, projector screen, PS4 and Nintendo Wii is the perfect space to keep yourselves entertained. When it's time to unwind, kick back in the sitting area to enjoy a film on the wall-mounted Smart TV. When sleep finally calls, head downstairs to catch a well-earned rest in one of the four plush bedrooms. When you're ready the next day, lace up your shoes and set out to explore what your local area has to offer. Make the short car journey to the Londis nearby to stock up on essentials, before you treat your loved ones for a hearty pub lunch at the Tafarn Y Tŵr in neighbouring Trefor. Whilst you're in the village, be sure to stop by the idyllic spots of the Trefor Sea Stacks and Traeth Trefor, along with the historic landmarks of Trwyn Brêc, Cei Trefor, and Gyrn Ddu. Your trip to the region would be incomplete without stepping foot into the magnificent Eryri National Park, the country's largest, home to endless mountain ranges, beautiful lakes, and exceptional coastlines. Choose Hen Gapel Seion to make your next trip to North Wales unforgettable.
The small village of Trefor is surrounded by sea and mountains, overlooking Caernarfon Bay, and enjoys a harbour with stone breakwater pier and sheltered sandy beach that the Wales Coastal Path runs past, or the more adventurous can enjoy a regular surf outside the breakwater. The village benefits from a convenience store, Post Office and licensed social club. Nearby, in the village of Llithfaen, are the Welsh Language and Heritage Centre and restaurant. The pretty coastal town of Nefyn lies 7.5 miles away, sitting atop sweeping cliffs, and is home to a fine, two-mile stretch of sandy beach, along with a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, and the award-winning golf club is popular with families and couples alike. Trefor is also within reach of the amenities of the popular towns of Pwllheli, Abersoch, Caernarfon, Portmeirion and Bangor. The coastline around this region is dotted with castles and coves, while fishing, sailing and watersports are all available. The start of the Snowdonia National Park is 5 miles away, with its dramatic scenery and abundance of superb walks. With its proximity to such a wide range of destinations, this area makes a superb base for a break in North Wales.

Lovely welcome gesture of wine, chocs, mince pies etc - much appreciated. A beautiful Chapel which was perfect for our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed the space to play pool, sit and chat, watch films (and football) on projector and the kitchen/dining area was perfect for our Christmas festivities. Lovely walks in the surrounding area and beautiful views front and back from the Chapel. We would definitely book to stay again.
