There isn't a pub but there is a very welcoming local bar just a short walk away with both inside and outside seating areas.
You'll find Tafarn Y Twr at the bottom of Eifl Road by the incline plane. Its ideal to drop into on the way to/from the beach. There's often events on as well so its worth checking them out on Facebook here. Do check their opening hours as they sometimes run reduced hours in the winter months.
Definitely! Your 4 legged friends are welcome and we know they'll adore the local beaches. The front garden is reasonably enclosed although a determined dog will be able to hop over the wall so caution is needed.
Not every guest shares our love of dogs so we do ask that you keep them off the furniture and restrict them to the downstairs areas. With this in mind we also ask that you do not leave them unattended at the cottage. In order that all guests can enjoy Ynata, the cottage is very carefully cleaned at the end of each stay.
You are welcome to bring 2 dogs to the cottage. If you have more please contact us so that we can see whether we can help you.
Absolutely. Your beds will be freshly made with crisp white sheets. Fresh towels are provided for each guest and the bathroom will be stocked with luxury toiletries.
Unfortunately we don’t supply any linen or blankets for cots so you would need to bring your own if you bring a cot.
Your choice. You can either book via Sykes Cottages or we know some people prefer to book direct. If that's you then please contact us for current availability using the contact form on the book option in the menu.
Definitely, its an easy 10 minute stroll. Head to the bottom of Eifl Rd, past the pub and there is a path on the right. Follow it for around 200 yards and you'll arrive at the shore. Head to your right for the main beach or turn left for the sea stacks and the quieter West End pebble beach
Ynata is in the heart of a small Welsh quarrying village, built in the days before cars existed! There is understandably less space than you will find in modern towns.
There is parking near the front of house but it is a bus route so you do have to be cautious choosing where to park. There is also a small lane to the rear, which is ideal for loading and unloading but isn't somewhere you can leave your car. We've almost never failed to find a spot just up the road from the front of the house but occasionally you may have to park a little further up the road.
Ynata has a brand new electric heating system, which monitors the air temperature in each room and uses a central management system to ensure you are kept cosy and warm.
In the living room there is also a brand new log burner for those nights around a crackling fire. Some logs are provided, and if you need more then these are easily available at all of the local petrol stations or at Glasfryn Fencing Centre on the main road to Pwlheli.
We've put double the recommended amount of loft insulation in as well as brand new double glazed sash windows to ensure it is as environmentally friendly and toasty as possible!
The keys to the cottage are located in a lockbox on site. As part of the booking process, you will receive instructions on where the box is and the code to open it.
Hey, it happens! Please don't worry about it. Get in touch with us as there is a second lockbox at the property with a spare set of keys. Its a different code, so you will need to contact us to get the code.
Ynata is typical of most old cottages in that it has narrow doorways and steep narrow stairs, which are charming but may not be suited to guests with limited mobility. Please check with your booking agent for further details
Definitely! Is it possible to survive these days without a decent broadband connection?!
Yanata has free wifi with unlimited data. Login details will be provided with your booking and are also on the router box. Ynata is on fibre broadband so speeds in most cases are very good. There is an additional booster upstairs to ensure good signal in every room
There is a small convenience store in Trefor, just around the corner from the cottage which stocks most things you'd need.
For your main shopping there is a large Asda 7 miles away in Pwlheli or there is a Tesco Superstore 13 miles away in Porthmadog. If you prefer there are some wonderful local food shops in the area. Find some suggestions here...
When renovating the cottage we've striven to make responsible choices. Insulation levels have been brought up to and often beyond the latest standards, and the cottages features an automated heating control system to reduce power consumption. Hot water is provided by a heat battery which is ready to be linked into either a heat pump or solar panels. All heat is generated using electricity so that as power generation evolves towards zero carbon, so does Ynata.
Doors & windows have been replaced with timber, carefully preserved to produce a long life and fitted with the latest Pilkington double glazed units.
The bus stop is about 30 yards from the front door! There is a bus that runs hourly from Caernarfon to Pwlheli. Further buses connect from those points.
There is a bus timetable in the guest guide in the cottage although we recommend you always check online for the latest information
There is a large smart TV in the living room. It has Sky Stream with Sky Entertainment and Netflix plus all freeview channels.
The TV is hooked into the internet so you can run your own apps or connect mobile devices
In most cases yes. Most networks have good coverage in the area even though it is surrounded on 3 sides by mountains.
Sadly no. It is not really possible to park directly outside of the cottage and so there is no EV charge point.
The Llyn Peninsula is a popular holiday destination and as such there are countless great options for eating out. Most are open all year but if you are staying in the off season its best to check opening times
