We have been to Aberdaron twice and loved it both times. The last time we stayed at Dwyros (August 2007) and brought the dog along for a treat. Really friendly people on the campsite and the dog met lots of four legged friends to play with. We will come again and stay in Dwyros because it's mor gyfeillgar.

This is me and another generation of visitors to Dwyros.
We started in 1966 and have never missed a year since. Kitty Williams ran the site then and we camped in tents, wearing out quite a few in the sometimes horrendous gales I seemed to attract over the years.
It was a working farm then and our four children and countless family, cousins and friends have had wonderful times there helping Erwynn [sorry about the spelling] milk the cows and when each child asked the names of the calves they would be delighted to find it had the same name as them!!!! But time moved on and Kitty retired and moved just down the hill, where we used to stop and chat to her on our laborious climb back to our tent. The new and present owners Alun and Carol took over and after telling them of our years of camping took pity on my ageing bones and gave us a static site in April 1989 Halleluiah.
Over the years people on the site have come and gone, some good friends alas forever. Dwyros indeed gets in your blood. Our four children [three in their forties, our son in his thirties] still visit every year and the phone is red hot in the winter working out dates. This week our eldest is there with her two sons, in August another is there with her son and in September Our David is there with his two.

With a bit of luck they might let us pop up to our caravan to visit the grandchildren for a day or so.

When we started camping on Dwyros all those years ago our kids used to wash their hair under the cold water stand pipe in the field so I suppose they served their time on Dwyros and are now entitled to benefit from the many improvements Alun and Carol have made.

Some things don't change, at the start of each season Bernadette and I still argue who saw the Aberdaron road sign first!!
Best wishes

Of all the beauties in the world you will not find anywhere such as Aberdaron.
This place will suck you in and cast its magic for eternity or it will spit you out, unworthy of its charm. For those that have been spellbound, the sound of its name will stir emotions of times uncluttered by the shackles of a ticking clock or the beeping of a mobile phone. At its heart are the beautiful people, the ones that make it breath and feed its magic. Don't invade and try conquering this place, for you will lose a little corner of heaven. 'Aberdaron' simply translated ....'Sanctuary'.

Hi I came to Aberdaron 3 months ago with my family and grandma and grandpa and cousins. We went to fisherman’s cove and did not get time to go to the beach Whistling sands. We got to go to Eleri stores and the bakery down the road. We stayed in a caravan, my mum dad auntie uncle & baby cousin stayed in the B&B.

I've been visiting Aberdaron since about the age of five, twenty years ago! This is the first time I have ever really searched for a site on the place and am really happy that there is one. After reading all the other guest book entries I felt obliged to enter a few lines myself. My trips to the Llyn have usually been during spring bank week with my mother and sister and we always stayed at Tyddyn Merrion in Rhiw, owned by Shaun and Belinda Hughes. I consider that the best times of my childhood where spent there. Running round the fields and flying kites etc. Getting up early to count sheep with Shaun and milking goats where all experiences that I wanted to repeat day after day. I also enjoyed going to buying the milk from the diary farmer on hells mouth, green top. mmmm!! For anyone visiting the area, the view from Rhiw rocks is amazing and well worth a small hike. The area also has the best mackerel spot I have ever been to. I only know it as Aberdaron rocks, yet it is 1-2 miles before Aberdaron when approaching from Rhiw. Take the left turn that has a no entry sign on it and then go right at the 'T' junction. Park at the farm house, and walk down the left side of the fences and earth banks to a small gate, then straight down the steep grass to the rocks. I have caught over 50 fish a day there, selling them to the campsites to pay for the lost tackle! It is also good to see seals and one rare occasion I saw a group of bottle-nose dolphins. Porpoise are common also.

I am now 26 will be visiting the UK in May and spending 4 days in Aberdaron. I am bringing my Husband to show him this beautiful part of the world!!!!

I have been coming to Aberdaron all my life camping at first but holidaying at other times in lovely cottages. I am now 38 and have brought my children for the last 16 years. There is something special about this place its like coming home every time and so sad to leave. When asked if they would like a change it is always lets go back, I wish one day to be able to live here for always.

Cathy Alvis 14th April 2006

This is the first time I have been on the site and it is pretty good! Every year for the first two weeks in August, me and my family come to Aberdaron, Abersoch and Pwllheli and we think it is amazing, just to get away from the city and have a relaxing time. We stay in a private cottage on a farm land called Pen-Y-Borth, unfortunately we can not attend the cottage this year. (Most of you fishermen who go, might know the place and may have seen 2 girls and their dad fishing on those rocks, that's me). Hope you have a good time looking at the site. Becky x x x x

We fell in love with Aberdaron in 1999, we loved it so much that we eloped in 2000 and married in Pwllheli registry office. We camp their as much as we can and would love to move to Aberdaron. It is so romantic and peaceful even in the tourist season it doesn't get too busy. The people are friendly and the way of life is slow. We stay at Gwythrian Farm they are always so welcoming. We will be visiting again this year for our wedding anniversary.

Pippa Hedison 24th January 2006

Great place, great people, made us so welcome in 1999 we came back in 2000 to get married, all locals really made our day thanks to them all, with a special thanks to the Williams family @ Fferm Gwythrian for all the help we got for our day. We make sure we return each year, for a day or two. Pippa Mike and James

Just to say hello to all our friends in Aberdaron. My family and I had many wonderful holidays in Aberdaron during my childhood up until I was 18 and we moved to the Isle of Man. We always stayed with Mr and Mrs. Roberts at Caerau farm and had wonderful happy times. We made childhood friends with Stephen and Alun Harrison (and a lot of others) and have stayed firm friends to this day! I was lucky enough to bring my children and my friend and her boys to Aberdaron, a few years ago, where we rented an amazing house called Afallon .... such luxury ... It was lovely to watch my boys enjoy the things my brother and I had loved so much. I was also thrilled to be remembered by so many lovely people. So, Stephen, Natalie and the "baby zone" wrestling team, Alun, Pauline and Mr. and Mrs Roberts, you are often in my thoughts! See you all soon I hope! Joanne. XXX

My mum's family first started going to Aberdaron 36 years ago and they stayed on Mur Melyn farm. All the family now go twice a year. In Easter we stay in holiday cottages and in the summer bank holiday we still stay at Mur Melyn farm. All me and my cousins have grown up going to Aberdaron.

Been coming to Aberdaron since I was a child. Now I bring my daughter. Like it so much that I would like to site a static caravan there. Excellent site.

I was first taken to Aberdaron on Holiday by my parents when I was about 4 months old in 1956. We returned every year until 1973, staying at Pen y Bryn (Mrs Griffiths). Apart from a visit in 1984 have not been back, regretfully. Must rectify that situation - I have vivid fond memories of Aberdaron and the Llyn.

Andrew Butler 1st July 2005

I have holidayed in Aberdaron with my parents since I was 10 years old. I am now 32 and I return up to twice a year with my Husband we stay in a cottage called Gwagnal on the peninsula point. Sometimes we stay in the Ty Newydd the Hotel on the front of Aberdaron Beach. We love Aberdaron we walk up to 8 miles a day - it is a beautiful area with stunning scenery and views. We are going on Saturday 11th June I will report back with current happenings in the village.

We have just spent a wonderful week bringing in the New Year in Aberdaron. We stayed near Dwyros and had a great time on the beach and even running into the sea for the Tsunami appeal on New Years Day. We had lovely walks on the coastline and this time paid a visit to Porth Oer - beautiful, but no dogs allowed unfortunately for us! Can't wait for the Spring to come then we can return as soon as possible.

Really nice site very useful have a cottage in Rhiw been Coming to Aberdaron Since I was born (14 years!!!)
It would be really nice to keep the village as it is and to not let it get too touristy, busy or littered.

G. Gabriel Stogdon 15th December 2004

We stayed at Tyn Lon with Mrs Kitty Evans (off the Uwchmynydd Road). We have been holidaying in Aberdaron since 1968. It is so peaceful and friendly. We learned of this website from Karen Wisbey at the old soup kitchen (I can't remember it's proper name). [Y Gegin Fawr ! Ed.]
We find something new every year. This year it was the view from above Plas yn Rhiw. We also managed to get to Beaumaris and visited the Court house and Gaol. Certainly worth a visit. Thank you, Karen, your scones are lovely.
