About Tan Y Bwlch

Tan y Bwlch is a Grade II listed traditional Penllyn crog loft cottage built in the early nineteenth-century. After a full restoration, the carefully preserved interior is a rare example of its type. The one-bedroom nook retains its original features including an inglenook fireplace, slate, tile and wooden floors and original beams.

Wake up early and explore the fascinating Plas yn Rhiw Estate. You’ll be blown away by the panoramic sea-views just outside your front door. The cottage is in one of the most sought after locations on the Llyn Peninsula.

Further afield, discover one of the nearby beaches of Abersoch or Porth Neigwl. There are also plenty of excellent seafront pubs in the area if you’d prefer a more relaxing afternoon.
