Cottage for 6 with hot tub and incredible views
Back
A beautiful, secluded and pristine bolthole for 6 in Nefyn with spectacular sea views and gardens.

Fron Olau has a secret feel, hidden on Mynydd Nefyn Mountain, down a narrow lane and wrapped in 8 acres of lush green with wide coast and countryside views. On a clear day you can see as far as the Wicklow Mountains.

Full Description

Those who adore beautifully executed renovations will be in their element here at this ancient Welsh Longhouse. The living room has bright interiors, plump sofas, a smart TV and huge views. Beautiful original artwork by the owner and the owner's family hang on the walls. Pop through the door to soak in the hot tub with views. A handy shower room is just next to it – perfect to get ready to use the hot tub.
The bedrooms are exquisite – a large double and a king bedroom have exceptional views of the coast. A handy walk-in shower bathroom is positioned perfectly between both rooms. A little further down is a twin room (can be pushed together as a super king to suit if guest wish).

The bespoke oak stairs to the mezzanine are a joy to tread. Hide away to work, rest or play up here.

Cooking for a gang will be a breeze-in the airy, smart kitchen with loads of gear and a Neff oven. Keep an eye on chef from the window seat with sea views and enjoy treats from the welcome hamper gifts.
Throw open the door when dusk falls, summon the tribe and sit for sociable suppers outside. Drink in the awesome views and scented gardens and perhaps a good local beer from Cwrw Llyn. The sunsets over the sea here are unparallelled. When it cools, warm up next to the wood stove and watch TV. Not that you will need heat as it is very snug with underfloor heating throughout.

Catch the sun, or shade, all day on comfy steamer chairs, or eat at the table outdoor gazing at those views. For a peaceful sheltered view, hide away in the sun room to read or stare out.
Wander the enchanted gardens enclosed by lovely stone walls, pathways and birdsong. The viewing deck is a joy -birdwatchers will be in heaven. The wildflower meadows and flora and fauna are just mesmerising. There are pockets of little spaces to appreciate the variety of species – the gunnera will wow you and the little pond.

Location

The Coastal path leads right by the front door. There is a special nook to watch the sunsets from up a slope at the back.
Nefyn is a beach paradise and Fron Olau is a short mile drive from golden sands and beach café. It’s a 20-minute stroll to Yr Heliwr a good community pub or Cwrw Llyn Brewery for local ale – in summer nip back before it gets dark for spectacular sunsets from the patio. Of course, a visit to Nefyn is not complete without heading for The Ty Coch Inn in Porthdinllaen near Morfa Nefyn. The coastal walk is dramatic and you can enjoy the views over the Irish Sea. Putt away at the famous Nefyn and District Golf Course. A perfect hidden place to dive into coastal life for seaside adventures or to linger and relax.

Things to do

"One of the best holidays we ever had! The house is amazing and you have really thought of everything we could possibly need. We were lucky to have a week of glorious sunshine so we have been Exploring this beautiful part of the world. We can highly recommend a visit to Portmeirion - Such fun! A day at Bodnant was a real treat but if you plan to visit be warned, the catering is almost non-existent with very long queues and 'sold out' signs. Take a picnic!
Dylan's at Criccieth served us a simple, but delicious lunch, with the bonus of a classic car rally in the car park. A case of 'Spot cars we have owned'. Highly recommend a visit to the art and craft gallery at Plas Glyn - Y Weddw. Souvenirs bought! Tremfan Hall made a lovely sport for a birthday lunch with the most amazing costal views. thank you so much for your hospitality and for the glorious sunsets every night. Highly recommended holiday home."

Thank you so much Gillian and Jeremy. "

"Thank you for hosting us at your beautiful cottage. Living on the Isle Of Man, we are used to stunning views, but the vista from the peaceful and serene retreat, and we truly appreciated how well equipped the property is, about the only thing missing was a 'fly-trapper' so we could free insects back into the garden, Fron olau made for the perfect escape and we'll definitely be recommending your cottage to others.

"When we think of Fron Olau, we will think just wow! What a place! This cottage is fantastic - we've created some fabulous memories as a family here - and exploring nearby beaches and towns. The book with all your instructions was so handy, and the cottage is so gorgeous- the grounds and views are stunning, we didn't want to leave.
Gillian and Jeremy, you have created a true haven here- a place to escape from the day to day and we are so very grateful."

"Dear Gillian and Jeremy we had to pinch ourselves at your beautiful home, we have never felt more welcomed anywhere! The amazing sea view, Stunning sunsets and early morning sunshine were truly memorable. The beautiful furnishings, bed linen and general cleanliness of Fron Olau is certainly in our opinion worth a mention it truly has made our stay very enjoyable. We loved cooking every evening, lighting the wood burner and sipping far too much wine! The goodies you left us were delicious too, thank you! we hope to relax in the stunning garden and next time maybe even jump in the hot tub! Thank you for sharing this magical place."

Karen, 6th September 2024
"Fron Olau is such a gem. from the moment we walked down the little steps and took in spectacular views over Nefyn we knew we were in for a treat. It has been the highlight of our little holiday. After busy days exploring the local beaches, gardens and towns it was such a joy to come back to. The girls ran around the garden with glee and waved goodnight to the sea from the field each evening and on our first night we watched a silent thunderstorm over the Irish sea from the hot tib. we could see shooting stars and satellites wizzing past from the hot tun....amazing!
Everything has been thought of from the sandwich bags for a picnic, the little packet of welsh cakes for a treat, milk in the fridge for cuppa and lots of kids toys. Our smallest loved the puzzles and tractor, our eldest was fascinated by the binoculars! Thank you so much!
We will miss the place."

"What can we say. beautiful cottage and spectacular views!
We loved the fun of setting up the hot tub and the kids certainly loved using it!
We also had some of the best sleeps in ages, its so peaceful and quiet. Oh, and the star gazing on the terrace was an added bonus.
Places we visited:
Nefyn beach (safe and great for families)
Greenwood (lovely adventure / mini theme park/ great for young kids)
The Cliffs (bar, restaurant)
We will absolutely be returning. Thank you for a lovely stay!"
