"We have had such a wonderful stay. The Water Mill has everything a family needs from a home from home staycation. We have loved the windy, rainy long walks on the amazing local beaches. The gardens, hot tun and walk along the run are a wonderful addition and kept the whole family happy.

Thank you both for making us feel so welcome and looking after us all week."

"The water mill is amazing from its historical perspective and it’s a place to relax and chill. The water mill is a central place to visit for the likes of Aberdaron, LLanbedrog, Caernarfon, Nefyn etc, places of beauty and history.

The Water mill is off the beaten track yet accessible to travel and enjoy this part of Wales. After days out recommend the hot tub.
Excellent accommodation. Carol and Adrian friendly gracious hosts. We will be back."

The History of Felin Rhyd Hir

"The soft sound of creaking oak and dripping water entwines with the deep hum of the four massive stones slowly groaning about their daily chore.“
Y Felin Rhyd Hir formally Melin Bodfel on the river Afon Rhyd Hir, was the centre of village life for as long as can be remembered. The current Mill is dated the late 17th Century when the production of flour was the cornerstone of community life. The site however is believed to have been the centre of milling for Efailnewydd and Bodfel for at least the past 600 hundreds of years if not longer.
