A stunning Grade I-listed church perched on the Rhiw hillside with outstanding views of Porth Neigwl and a plethora of walking trails on the doorstep, this hidden gem is perfect for families with a dog who want to put modern life on hold. The church’s peace and tranquillity will be matched by the house and gardens at Plas Yn Rhiw, under 1 mile away, and this picturesque area can be explored further on the nearby Plas Yn Rhiw and Rhiw Village Walk. Water sports lovers can spend their days at the extensive Porth Neigwl beach 5 miles from the church.

The true splendour of this former church is evident the moment guests pass through the entrance hall, which contains the original font and a memorial headstone. The open-plan lounge and kitchen/diner sit beneath high ceilings supported by exposed wooden beams, the whole area bathed in natural light pouring in through large windows set in exposed stone walls. There is a variety of seating throughout, including a high-level window seat with views out to sea. The first of two king-size rooms is found on the ground floor and features an en-suite bathroom comprising a bath, walk-in shower and WC. Adjacent to this is a shower room with a walk-in shower and WC. An elegant mezzanine lounge surrounded by infinity glass sits upstairs, with a plethora of seating (including a large double sofa bed) arranged around a TV and a 1980s arcade game machine. A second king-size room, set over two levels and featuring exposed stone walls and a large window, is situated just off the

mezzanine.

A fully operational graveyard surrounds the property, a place for quiet reflection and views of the Llyn Peninsula beyond.

A special, historic building with a beautiful, modern internal conversion. High on a hillside, the views along the countryside to Y Rhiw and down over Hell's Mouth bay, are stunning. Being out on the Llyn peninsula, the sea is in charge of the weather, which makes it either glorious or atmospheric. We loved the comfort of the sleeping and eatinRead moreg areas, and the retention of old features alongside the modern conveniences. A lovely place to stay. Hide

The place was well equipped and comfortable. Quite stunning. Only downside, really no outside to sit and relax.

The property was not only on a lovely location, with beautiful views, but it is also a stunning building with excellent facilities. After a long days hike, we looked forward to relaxing in such a charming accommodation.
