Reviews
Lovely airy space, really gorgeous setting. The shower is AMAZING. Everything you need: wifi, dish washer, DVDs that kept my kids quiet. Bedroom over looks the main living space and so you can see out of the amazing church windows from the bedroom. Completely deserted beach 20 minutes walk from the building, perfect for swimming. Total silence at night time, bliss after coming from noisy London. Flocks of rabbits amongst the grave stones have been entertaining to watch.
Eglwys St Cynfil is a renovated church and is a fantastic and unusual holiday let. The decor and cleanliness was of an excellent standard and the furnishings tasteful and sympathetic to the building. We enjoyed the private location.
This property is really peaceful and well positioned for the area. It is a beautiful location and the Chapel conversion was well designed.
It was such a pleasure to stay in such a wonderful building in a beautiful location, just perfect for exploring the surrounding area with the family. It was high standard accommodation, highly recommended.
Remote, quiet location, Eglwys St Cynfil is a fantastic church conversion Excellent decor & furnishings Great location to access walks & beaches
It was just amazing, we can't recommend it highly enough .
A lovely quiet location, and an excellent property.
A good location. Excellent accommodation, very comfortable and well equipped.
It was so peaceful at the cottage and a great base to explore North Wales. With wonderful beaches and also Snowdonia on your doorstep there was plenty to do and see and we will definitely be going back.
Had a wonderful week in this beautiful, converted church. Very comfortable and with everything you need. Took a little getting used to no curtains/blinds for my husband - he obviously thought the local horses, sheep and rabbits were peeping toms!!! I think curtains would have spoilt the effect of the simple décor. Loved the furnishings and mezzanine fittings. Directions and instructions were perfect and the local area stunning. Be aware, if you need to keep in touch with home or work the signal is not great and no Wi-Fi though on a positive note, it made us choose carefully who and what to answer.
Overall an excellent experience, nothing bad to say at all, thank you.
The best cottage we have ever had all over Europe - regarding all aspects!
Absolutely wonderful! The owner was very helpful with the directions as it is a little tucked away which adds to its charm. When you enter the church for the first time we were amazed by its design and style. We actually couldn't believe our good fortune and I didn't want to leave. The church is very well equipped, dishwasher, washing machine and microwave. The furnishings are of a very high quality and the whole place is comfortable and welcoming.
Beautiful setting, plenty of room and it was very clean and comfortable. Excellent facilities - like home from home.
The church was lovely, very clean, warm and tastefully decorated. Loved the location, there was plenty to explore in the area, including Criccieth and Harlech castles, Llanbedrog and Abersoch beaches. A lovely base for coastal walks or just to chill out, relax and get away from it all.
Very good position for getting to all the walks on the peninsular, and very private dwelling. The owners have done a very good conversion of the Chapel, keeping the essence of its history without over doing it.
Lovely peaceful break. The Chapel has been sympathetically renovated. Everything was clean and brand new, whilst retaining its original charm as a Grade ll listed building.
A beautiful, well equipped property in a great location. Would definitely return and have recommended to family and friends.
I loved the quirkiness of the Chapel and its peaceful location. The property was tastefully decorated and well equipped making our stay a true home from home experience. The owner was helpful and welcoming and ensured that we were comfortable throughout our stay.
This property is ideally situated in quiet location but within easy access of many areas of Wales including attractions, beaches and walks from the door step. The proprietor was very helpful both prior to our arrival and provided excellent directions to the Chapel. The building has been tastefully decorated and is very well equipped making our stay a home from home.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Church was so unique, clean and extremely modern with excellent decor and furnishings. Great for travelling to nearby towns.
Fantastic property, lovingly renovated and furnished, and in a great location. Loved our weekend there and we'll definitely be returning. Can't recommend it highly enough.
We've just returned from a long weekend at Eglwys St Cynfil, and had a fantastic time. The chapel has been lovingly refurbished to a very high standard, with great facilities throughout. There wasn't anything that hadn't be thought of, and really was a home away from home. Location wise, it's a great spot to explore all the Llyn Peninsular has to offer. With views from the property overlooking the mountains on one side, and the sea on the horizon on the other, it was truly perfect. Situated approximately a 5 minute drive from Llanbedrog, and 10 minute drive from Pwllheli, and 5 minutes from the nearest beach, accessibility couldn't have been better. The owners were fantastic during the booking process, and offered a courtesy call before we departed to walk though the key pick ups etc, and also followed up with a courtesy message whilst we were there. We were very well looked after. I really can't rate this property highly enough, and we will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you!
