Divided into the two wings, Gadlas and Deri Llyn, there are nine spectacular bedrooms, each magnificently styled in bold colours with striking, impressive furniture throughout. On the Gadlas wing there are three floors. The lower-ground floor is suitable for wheelchair users, with a super-king room complete with an en-suite wet room. Meanwhile on the ground-floor there is a second super-king room, as well as a family room with a king-size bed and set of bunk beds, which share a superb family bathroom! And finally on the first-floor you’ll find a second family room, with a king-size bed and two more single beds, complete with an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding, boat-style bath, and completing this wing is a third king-size room with a dazzling en-suite bathroom and breath-taking views across the peninsula!

On the Deri Llyn wing, meanwhile, there’s a super-king room with a simply superb four-poster bed at its heart, with its very own conservatory, an en-suite bathroom and even a luxury spa bath in the corner of the room! There are an additional two super-king rooms, one with an en-suite and finally another family bedroom, with one king-size bed and one full-size bunk bed, with a family bathroom located between the two remaining rooms.

Out in your huge garden there’s yet more space for socialising, soaking up the views and the fresh air of the countryside, and even a little play for the kids (and big kids!). The youngsters will love frolicking on the huge lawns, playing on the swings and tree house and trampoline, or picnicking on the many benches. While there’s even a football field for the more competitive of the group!

Feeling totally remote and delightfully so, Rhiw House is in fact within walking distance of village pubs and other amenities, making it the perfect blend of rural and yet nearby everything you need!

The Llŷn Peninsula itself is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and as soon as you arrive you’ll see why. The Irish Sea to one side and the stunning Cardigan Bay to the other provides miles and miles of beautiful beaches - while the craggy peaks of Snowdonia in the distance promises breath-taking views while you paddle or dip in the sea. Whether you’re into walking or wildlife or whiling away the hours on the water, you’re bound to find something for you in the area.

The Wales Coast Path runs the entire 84-mile coast of the Llŷn Peninsula, taking in the peaceful coves, dramatic cliffs, sandy, windswept beaches and historic forts along the way. Right at the tip ‘Snowdon’s arm’, this rugged stretch of land branching out across the Irish Sea, is the fishing village of Aberdaron - passed through by the thousands of pilgrims who made their way to Ynys Enlli, the ‘Isle of 20,000 Saints’ each year, now known as the National Nature Reserve of Bardsey Island.

Right on the cusp of the Snowdonia National Park, this is an excellent location for enjoying the highlights of Wales: the fresh air, dark skies and stunning scenery! Wales’ first national park, the Snowdonia National Park features 823 square miles of towering mountains and shimmering lakes and can be seen as far away as Porthmadog on the west coast! Snowdon itself is an icon of Wales, alongside 13 other majestic peaks over 3,000 feet high, ideal for climbing and hiking! But if you’re not as fit as you used to be, worry not – the chilly peak of Snowdon is even accessible by train, so you can enjoy the breath-taking views whatever your level!

With water to the north, south and east, Wales has rather more than its fair share of dramatic coastline, making for not only incredible scenery but also a superb beach-holiday destination! The Wales Coast Path traces the country's entire length, taking in perfect sandcastle-beaches and striking mountain passes weaving through the wilderness. The immense geological diversity can be enjoyed along the extensive network of paths, while for some jaw-dropping architectural beauty, Caernarfon Castle and Caerphilly Castle are just two of the many sublime castles. While the utterly cosmopolitan Cardiff is brimming with yet more superb castles, arcades, and historic buildings, making it the perfect base for exploring the rest of the country!
