The details

Beautifully serene and sitting on the edge of a tranquil river in the stunning Llyn Peninsula, this marvellous cottage offers a peaceful retreat for groups of up to six. When you arrive, you’ll be blown away by the dreamy location, as the cottage sits on the banks of a river, surrounded by lush greenery. This really is a fab retreat for those seeking a deep connection with nature and the chance to relax and unwind in style.

Step inside and head to the open plan living space, which offers a lovely combination of rustic charm and modern elegance. The sitting area is located at one end of the space, and features a log burner where you can warm your toes as you catch up with loved ones. Get comfy on the big sofa or armchairs as you tuck into a good book or enjoy a movie night or box set marathon on the smart TV.

Just off the lounge area is the dining table, which comfortably seats six guests, making it ideal for hearty breakfasts, long lazy lunches and grand social dinners. And finally, the kitchen, which has a shaker-style design and a fab kitchen island, is superbly equipped with modern appliances. This means you have everything you need to prepare wonderful meals during your stay.

If the weather’s warm, you can head out into the peaceful garden that’s surrounded by pretty woodland and open fields. Enjoy an afternoon drink as the River Erch flows by and relax on the garden benches watching the wildlife at play. You and your loved ones can also dine alfresco on the outdoor dining table, and the BBQ offers you the chance to grill up some delicious local produce.

When it comes to sleeping arrangements, Otter Cottage has three lovely bedrooms, one of which features a super-king size bed and a picturesque arched window that overlooks the river. The second bedroom is a twin room that has garden and river views, whilst the third bedroom has bunk beds that are suitable for one adult or two children. There’s also a lovely shared family bathroom with a bath and a hand-held shower.

Otter Cottage sits on a beautiful estate, meaning you will have direct access to a network of private estate paths, as well as public footpaths that you can explore. If you head further afield, there’s lots more to see and do, whether you’re chasing adrenaline or simply looking to unwind. From hiking rugged mountains to strolling along golden beaches, from wild swims to coastal kayaking and even underwater adventures – the possibilities are endless. You can explore dramatic peaks, unspoilt forests brimming with wildlife, ancient castles, postcard-perfect villages, towering lighthouses and peaceful nature reserves.

We have been to a few cottages, but this must be the best ever. The layout and the area it is in were faultless. The only issue was the internet, which was quickly “fixed” by a member of staff (sorry, I can’t remember her name — possibly starting with an A?). A huge thank you to her for coming out of her way to help us. My wife had tears in her eyes and didn’t want to go home. Sitting outside on a metal chair with a steaming coffee, watching the sun go down on Christmas Day, was something she said she would love to have as a way of life. We went out every day, walking different routes. There is a church a couple of miles away that has been there since the 6th century. A lovely local lady gave us the key so we could go in and view the church by ourselves, which was a wonderful experience. We have said we will definitely be back, next time in the summer. We cannot recommend this cottage highly enough. We brought our own OS map for the Ll?n Peninsula and were very glad we did, as there are so many places to visit.
