Just back from Yr Olaf, we got just what we needed, relaxation in a lovely cosy cottage. The cottage is contemporary style with the living area upstairs, this enables you to enjoy the sea views from the decking area. It was cold but nice enough to sit outside in the evenings and take in the peace and tranquillity that this lovely spot gives you. Lots of land around the cottages to relax in. The house was warm, clean and cosy, it was well stocked with utensils. Just seen the previous review, not sure they stayed at the same cottage!! We will definitely try to book again in the summer as lots of comments in visitor book mentioning dolphin and seals being spotted in the sea from the gardens.
Walk to beach is steep at points, not for all but we managed it ok with our dog, we walked to the village which took about 25mins. We went off on various walks each day, Tywyn is a 10 minute drive with shops, and a local co op to stock up on food.
In summary, a fabulous location, a great house, and a wonderful time spent at Yr Olaf.

2 reviews Yr Olaf was as described, so no argument there. Secluded, private and almost completely shut off from the outside world. No shops/restaurants in walking distance (the description makes that clear) and some beautiful sea views from the private patio. Downsides – no internet access, which induced withdrawal symptoms for the author, no mobile service and an interesting entrance/exit route from the main road. If you like seclusion - book this cottage!

We have just returned from Yr Olaf and were delighted with the cottage. The views are stunning and the cottage itself is well appointed and very comfortable. My partner fished off the private beach and on the last night the sunset was amazing. Unfortunately I had a flu bug whilst we were there but it was like home from home because the cottage was lovely and warm and cosy, the beds were comfy and a great shower. We had a problem with the cooker but we bought a slow cooker which the owner reimbursed us for so we were able to have some great meals. Because I was unwell we did not go out of an evening but each day we went out and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the area. Would recommend the rail journey from Tywyn to Portmadoc which follows the coast all the way. We would go back because a week is not long enough to see the whole area and would stay at the cottage again.
