An impressive former mill, a detached building with exposed stone walls and low beams idyllically situated alongside the river Llyfni on the edge of the quiet seaside village of Pontllyfni, world famous for seatrout fishing. Also available is Salmon, Brown and Rainbow trout on 40 miles of rivers and/or 6 lakes! The large spacious lounge on the first floor is full of character, the original beams display 18th century carved graffiti and a large wood burning stove ensures a wonderful warm fire. French doors from the lounge open out onto a large balcony above the river where there is furniture to enjoy the countryside and distant sea views. Particular attention has been afforded to the property being suitable for the less mobile - the bedrooms, bathroom and shower room are all on ground floor along with the kitchen and dining hall, only the lounge is up a wide open staircase. The grounds around the mill are enclosed except for only a chain alongside the river boundary, so not suitable for young children. The quiet beach is only a 10 minute walk down river; seals and dolphins are often seen along the coast here as is the rare Chough crow. The hills behind the mill are a web of country lanes for cycling and footpaths through natural countryside. Snowdonia is 5mls inland through dramatic scenery of lakes and mountains. Local attractions include Caernarfon castle (9 ml), Snowdon and the mountain railway at Llanberis (15 ml), pony trekking (5 ml).

Guest Feedback:
AM (September 2024): 4.3 STARS "Character property in a great spot. The mill is in a great location for visits to all of the Llyn peninsula and Menai area. We found it to be comfortable and well equipped if a little dark ( not surprising for a converted mill). The inclusion of the fishing passes made us wish we could fish. The rivers are very beautiful in this area we will return soon"
LG (August 2024): 4.5 STARS "A beautiful property in a beautiful location! Just remember to bring your own towels and tea towels etc. I will definitely return here with my family"
P (August 2024): "The cottage is in a great location for all to do something. Even though the weather wasn’t the best we got out and enjoyed fishing on the river and taking the dogs out. All in all the property is welcoming and warm. Shame we had some of the worst winds of the year but apart from the shutters rattling we all slept well and enjoyed the cottage and surrounding area. Will be back"
JD (July 2023): 4.2 STARS "Suggestion to improve: Plastic disposable cups in Bath room not glass or China as slate floors. Even some of the basics salt pepper etc, on hand when you get there. Having used other holiday companies they provide tea coffee milk bread butter condiments cheese and sweet biscuits .you have paid for them in the price but when get there you have something. Just a suggestion ,I am sure some will disagree , but after travelling its nice to get there unload chill before you need to shop" Thanks for the Feedback - which are always passed on to the Property Owner. All our properties are Accredited with Visit Wales - and Welcome Packs are not a requirement. However, we do know that many people expect them as they have ad them at other properties. We do encourage Owners to provide a Welcome Pack, but many choose not to - as either it is deemed by them not to be practicable and that they believe that Guests prefer to have a lower rental (especially in this time with a "Cost Of Living Crisis". Please check before Booking, or Arrival, if a Welcome pack is important to you.
DC (June 2023): 4.2 STARS "Constructive criticism- Minor issues. All very easy to fix. This property was rated 4* by the rental site. I have stayed in similar rated properties around the UK, and they all provided a small "welcome" gift, e.g. a pint of milk. a packet of biscuits, tea bags... something!. This property did not even supply a washing up brush or sponge. I know most of the building is very old and next to a river in the country, but I would suggest the owners have not visited the property for some while, or this was the first time it had been opened since the winter . Every room had several spiders. The master bedroom, had damp behind the bed head and wardrobe and it had more cobwebs than an Indiana Jones movie. The Shower head in that end of the property was not serviceable. The shower head holder was held (in reverse--- screw sticking out) by a hair band. If I had bought my tool box with me I would have fixed it for them, but I didn't believe I would need one in a 4* property. We also could find no way of drying our clothes (it does rain in Wales occasionally). Minor issues all very easy to fix. Having said all that, North Wales is amazing and the property is very conveniently located for both the Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia" Thanks for the Feedback - which are always passed on to the Property Owners for their consideration.
AP (May 2023): 4.8 STARS "A relaxing location. We've visited this brilliant building twice in five weeks. It's A Very relaxing place to stay, the river close by is lovely to sit and watch the heron fishing. It's a great place to stay with another couple as you have separate wings of the property which worked well for us. Ideally located for visiting places in North Wales. We will.be going back"
JR (May 2023): 5 STARS "We had yet another lovely stay, (lost count of times now) . Lovely and comfy as usual with fresh trout caught and eaten for tea!!. Also a wonderful new addition of two tub chairs with side tables in the dinning hall which was so appreciated as I struggle with the stairs. Looking forward to next stay"
JR (September 2022): 4.8 STARS "We have had another lovely stay. The fishing was good much to the delight of husband and son. The house was comfy and warm the balcony is so nice to sit and enjoy the sound of the river. A comfy armchair or small sofa in the dinning hall would help those of us who struggle with the stairs. We look forward to our next visit"
JS (September 2022): 4.8 STARS "Excellent holiday home, comfortable, interesting and attractive. It is a very artistic house, beautiful brickwork, floors, doors, lovely curtains, great outdoor sitting area by the river. The kitchen is one of the best holiday kitchens we've had, plenty of everything, especially glasses! It was wonderful having two showers and two toilets. Whoever designed the alterations should be very proud for creating such a comfortable, convenient and beautiful residence"
MB (August 2022): 4.3 STARS "Lovely location, comfortable and relaxing property. Cannot fault the location. We really enjoyed relaxing on the balcony by the river each evening and Pontllyfni was a great base to explore North wales. The house had just about all we needed for the week, and the neighbours were friendly and gave us plenty of advice on the local area. We also enjoyed the local wildlife with a variety of birds and bats. As a lasting souvenir of the village, my in-laws even adopted a kitten from one of the local houses which certainly made the journey home more eventful​!"
AB (August 2022): 5 STARS "A fabulous cottage in a great location for exploring north Wales and the Llyn. A really good set up for a multi-generational family group. It is nice to have a kitchen stocked with bough crockery and glassware for 6, and plenty of comfy seating. Inevitably the thing you need to know is what is missing. Disappointing that there is no barbecue provided, we have come to expect at least a charcoal barbecue with holiday lets. We have a portable bbq we could have brought with us but really expected there would be one - crying out for a bbq or on the patio by the river! By not providing a simple kettle barbecue you run the risk of guests buying and using disposable barbecues which then damage the ground or furniture if people are still enough to put them where they shouldn’t. Also annoying that no dishwasher tablets provided - one a day would suffice. Likewise annoying and silly not to provide washing up liquid and sponges, scourers etc. These little touches make a difference and are things that should be provided really. We also bought some kitchen tongs and donated them. A great stay. We loved it." When we came out of the first Lockdown, we were all advised to remove items such as dishwasher tablets due to the threat of transmission. Note that Covid is still with us. However, we wil ask the Property Owner to see if they wish to revise their Covid Risk Assessment.
RH 30 Jul 2022: 4.7 STARS "Lovely house in a peaceful location. River Edge Mill is in a peaceful location next to a bubbling river. Good sized and comfortable living room on the upper floor and, when the weather was good, very pleasant to sit out on the balcony. Kitchen has everything you need and all three bedrooms are kept cool by being on the ground floor. Great location as it is within easy reach of a nice beach, several castles and interesting pre-historic archaeology."

JH 02 Jul 2022: 4.8 STARS "Love this cottage. This is our 4th year staying at River Edge. We love the location. The view from the decking is beautiful. Neighbours are great. Its like our second home. Hope to return many more times. Our family get together holiday."
Ms B (May 2019): "The property is lovely, with the stream running next to the house. It's well located for day trips to Snowdonia National Park, Caernarfon etc - we found lots to do, despite it being quite a rainy week. The house provides everything you need, and the hosts are very helpful."
The L family (October, 2018): "We would like to say thank you for an amazing holiday. I would definitely recommend! The cottage is in a lovely area and is just stunning on the inside. We would recommend to go to ZipWorld - we had an amazing last day there! We would highly recommend GreenWood Forest for families with younger children. Thank you for an incredible holiday. We would definitely come back! 5 stars."
The W group (June, 2018): "My wife stumbled across River Edge Mill on the Internet, and I am sure god pointed her to the page as this place is amazing! A true family holiday home with everything you need or could wish for. The surrounding areas has some breathtaking views and has something for everyone. We would highly recommend River Edge Mill to anyone. We also had wonderful neighbours who made us welcome from day one and helped us with everything we needed - lovely family! Thank you for an amazing week and as Arnie once said, 'I'll be back!'"
The C Family (July, 2017): "We came to celebrate a 60th Wedding Anniversary & what a wonderful week."
The W Family (June, 2017): "I can confidently say we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at River Edge Mill. We have wanted for nothing."

The B Family (May, 2017): "We have had the most amazing stay at this beautifully presented mill. The position is incredible and the neighbours are most welcoming. The surroundings leave a host of possibility for doing trips."
