About the Property
The Mill holiday Cottage nestles in a quiet valley on the Llyn Peninsula and is popular with couples and families who either want to relax at the quiet riverside location or explore the wealth of visitor attractions in the area. The property is not suitable for children under 8 and no pets are permitted.
The main entrance into the property is through the kitchen, which features granite worktops and a slate effect tiled floor. Two steps take you through to the dining room, which has an oak table that will seat 6.
The downstairs bedroom, with double bed, features a glass wall, which gives a lovely view of the ancient inner mill workings. These have been retained as an interesting feature of the building. There are curtains for privacy. A passageway takes you past the mill workings to fairly steep wooden stairs to the upper floor (not suitable for the infirm).
On the upper floor is the lounge, with woodburner and sofa, comfortable chairs, TV and bookcase. There is a glass balustrade which gives a view of the mill stones below. A small door leads to a balcony, from where the surrounding countryside can be appreciated. The bathroom and main bedroom are on the same floor as the lounge.
Sleeping a maximum of four people in total, there are alternative sleeping arrangements to cater for those who need separate beds. The downstairs chair bed is best suited for children and the sofa bed in the lounge also features a sprung mattress.
The property has underfloor heating on both floors, together with woodburning stoves, so is particularly good for holidays all year round. In the Autumn the dark skies region gives wonderful starry skies on clear nights. The nearest beach is just ten minutes away, in fact there is a different beach accessible on every day of the week.
Outside there is a little patch of grass where you can sit beside the small river and appreciate the peace.
The property has no phone signal, but there is superfast wifi.
The Mill is ideally placed for visiting Caernarfon and its castle, the little seaside town of Criccieth, Porthmadog and Portmeirion of “Prisoner” fame. It is just 30 minutes from Llanberris for Snowdon and 30 minutes from Anglesey. The Welsh Highland and Festiniog steam railways are nearby too. Two of the famous Zip Worlds are 40 minutes away and Greenwood Forest Park and Glasfryn Park Activity Centre are both easily accessible.
Whether you’re into photography, fishing, walking or paddling (on board and in the water), The Mill is an ideal base to explore this wonderful part of North Wales.

Bookings are subject to a £100 security deposit in addition to the cost of your holiday. The deposit will be returned to you (by cheque or bank transfer) 7 days after your holiday ends providing there has been no damage, breakages or breach of booking terms and conditions.
In the event of accidental damage to any of the contents or one of the appliances not working properly please let us know as soon as possible. We cannot consider any claims for loss of enjoyment for defects not notified to us whilst you are still resident in the property.
There is a comprehensive manual at The Mill which gives instructions for all appliances. You undertake to read the operating instructions before first using any of the appliances, this is particularly important for the gas cooker and wood burning stoves.
Please note that the mill is unsuitable for the infirm and small children. This is because there is no access to a downstairs toilet from the ground floor bedroom and the steps to the upper floor (where the lounge and bathroom and main bedroom are) are steep. Outside there is an unfenced river and unfenced mill leat. For this reason we can only accommodate children over eight years of age and they should be supervised at all times. The wood burning stoves do not have fire guards (although there is no necessity to light them as there is underfloor heating on both the ground and upper floor). We do allow small babies that are not yet mobile, in their own travel cots.
Please only view the inner mill workings from the passageway/landing and don’t attempt to access the mill pit or walk on or around the mill stones – the ancient works are no longer functioning and are delicate and have been retained for your visual appreciation only.
Smoking
Smoking and vaping is strictly forbidden inside the property and on the balcony.
Pets
Pets are not allowed in the property at any time.
Mobile and Wifi
The Mill is situated in a rural area. There is no mobile phone signal inside the building and outside the signal is very limited. We have superfast wifi and should it break down we will endeavour to get it fixed straightaway, but cannot guarantee if will work for the whole duration of your stay.
Right of entry
We reserve the right to enter the property at all reasonable times, except in an emergency where immediate access may be required.
Vehicular Access and Parking
Please note that the final access to the property is across a small ford, this is usually passable by all but the most low-slung of vehicles (sports cars and those with low spoilers may be unable to cross). However, when there has been very heavy and prolonged rainfall the water may rise and it is the driver’s responsibility to judge the water height before crossing. If you cannot cross the river please park considerately (between the lane and the river) and allow space for other vehicles (the drive is a party drive for two other properties). Under these exceptional circumstances, if you have more than one vehicle, you may have to park one of them nearer to the village. At all other times there is parking for 2/3 vehicles through the gate immediately adjacent to The Mill. Please be aware that in exceptionally bad weather, you may need to move your car from next to the mill before the water rises in order to avoid being trapped on the ‘wrong’ side of the ford for several hours. There is a footbridge for pedestrian access over the ford.
Please note we do not have an electric car charging point and charging electric vehicles from the property is strictly forbidden as it has potential to cause a fire. If you have an electric vehicle please let us know beforehand so that we can direct you to the nearest available charging stations.
