Y Granar is a semi-detached, 5 star holiday cottage, located on the grounds of a traditional family run beef and sheep farm. Situated one mile from the village of Abersoch and only 10 minutes walk from the nearest sandy beach, it’s the perfect location for your holiday on the Lleyn Peninsula in North Wales.
Abersoch, although small, is well supplied with numerous good eating places and shops. It also has a wonderful Blue Flag award winning sandy beach and hosts many national boating events each year. A mile away, the picturesque village of Llangian has a 6th Century Church.
The Lleyn Peninsula, where the Welsh language and way of life still flourish, is renowned for its beautiful beaches and water sport. With nearly 100 miles of stunning coastline, an array of hills of varying height inland plus the majestic mountains of Snowdonia on your doorstep, it’s also a great place to come for a walking holiday.
Take a boat trip to Bardsey Island, a former site of religious pilgrimage, try your hand at fishing, horse-riding or golf and enjoy go-karting, ten-pin bowling, archery etc at Glasfryn Parc. Plas Glyn-y-Weddw, a magnificent Manor with galleries, beautiful gardens and tea room with sea views is well worth a visit, whilst Ffestiniog Railway, castles and the Italian village of Portmeirion are all nearby.
