Within a 5-minute walk from Bodarfor are two hotels serving great meals, one with a terrace directly overlooking the beach, two tea rooms, a fish bar, an ice cream parlour selling award-winning ice cream and an excellent bakery with a tearoom upstairs.

The National Trust interactive visitor centre in Aberdaron promotes the many attractions of the Llyn Peninsula. Just a 6-minute stroll from Bodarfor, through the National Trust car park, is the wood-fired beach sauna, Sauna Mor, where you can enjoy views of Aberdaron Bay as your stress melts away.
The ancient church of St Hywyn was the last stopping off point for pilgrims to Bardsey Island. Uwchmynydd is a heath-covered headland above the village and is home to a variety of rare plants and birds, such as the chough and is an ideal spot to view Bardsey Island.

Well equipped & laid out property. Garden secure for dogs & suntrap. Boiler room makes a great drying room if caught in a downpour. Downstairs shower handy to nip into after a swim. Coastal path nearby & beach good for dogs except at high tide. Bakery & well stocked Spar shop just down the road.

We have been holidaying in Aberdaron for a few years now and have always had a wonderful time.
We have been holidaying in Aberdaron for a few years now and have always had a wonderful time. In terms of location, comfort and cleanliness Bodafor, outstrips previous years! The house has everything you may need during your stay from washing and drying facilities, kitchen equipment, board games etc. etc! etc! The garden is very well maintained with outdoor facilities. Even the small birds that frequent the garden have been catered for with bird food provided by the owners! Whoever prepares the house for guests deserves a.very special mention! Absolutely SPOTLESS with a great attention to detail! We will definitely be back!
