This impressive former mill is 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.

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.

This was our 6th time staying at River Edge Mill and we absolutely love it. We call it our second home as we look forward to coming back every year and would live there if we could. It’s a sigh of relief for our family when we pull up outside the property, we know we are somewhere we adore.
The only negative we ever have is the day we come home because it means we have to leave and the week passes by so fast.

Situated in a beautiful area, close to the beach. The views from the balcony are stunning. Even on rainy days that may mean you stay indoors for a few hours, you really don’t mind because the property is just so beautiful and full of character.
Mr Hughes is very helpful to deal with should you have any questions. The neighbours are also wonderful and will help you with any questions about the local area, we always look forward to catching up with them too!
Can’t recommend it enough. Lots of stunning beaches around, plenty of fishing too.
We cannot wait to return next year!

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.



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

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.

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

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 lookk forward to our next visit.



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.

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!



Fabulous but missing a couple of things…

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.

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



Love this cottage.
