About Gorse Bank

Occupying a simply sublime setting with arguably the best coastal views of any property in Abersoch in North Wales, Gorse Bank is the perfect destination for the holiday of a lifetime with a group of family and friends. Offering spacious and well-presented traditional accommodation, the house is all about the views with large picture windows and an extended outside terrace all designed to maximise the captivating and ever-changing views from the house’s elevated position.

Step into the open-plan living/dining room where an ample sitting area invites guests in. You won’t know where to look; outside at the spectacular view, at the Smart TV or at the woodburning stove which creates an attractive focal point to the room.

Whatever you decide to do it’s covered at Gorse Bank which offers its guests the opportunity to gather and socialise around the large dining table which comfortably sits 10, or to curl up on any of the comfy sofas and lose yourself in the impressive views. The kitchen is fully fitted with everything needed to produce hearty fayre for the holiday party and the designated chef will be delighted with the Aga range cooker and the extensive selection of kitchen equipment making it the ideal spot for whipping up a culinary storm.

The outside terrace completed with loungers, patio furniture and even a hot tub creates a wonderful alfresco space where visitors can soak up any sunshine, enjoy drinking and dining and appreciate those all-important views. There is even a private gate here leading to the beach!

Four of the property’s five stylish bedrooms are on the ground-floor making for ease of access and the fifth master bedroom is situated in a self-contained, first-floor annex complete with an elegant bedroom and en-suite bathroom. As well as a ground-floor shower room, there is an outside shower room and WC which is just perfect for washing away the sand after an invigorating day at the beach, before coming into the house, pouring yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, and chilling out looking at the outstanding views which are amazing no matter what time of day or what time of year it is.

Gorse Bank Reviews

A superb holiday , we loved the views and character of Gorse Bank and the direct beach access was a real privilege to have . We didn't say good bye when we left , we said see you again soon ! .
Just got back from a beautiful week at Gorsebank the weather was terrible, but it simply didnt matter here. We had everything we needed from arrival. The owner had really thought about what you would need and it was supplied. Im just disappointed I didnt get to the Bara Brith before my brother did. The house was beautifully maintained, dont normally venture into a hot tub but this one was exceptionally cleaned and well looked after. The view from the property was majestic. Looking forward to our return.
Claire
Fantastic location for a holiday cottage panoramic views of the Snowdonia National Park. We spent hours sat on the balcony watching tides come in and out, and watching harbour life. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Abersoch offered lots of good dining opportunities as well as great coastal walks.
Sandra
The location and views were stunning however car parking is very limited with space for 2 cars only, one of which is in a garage and another immediately in front of it. We had to pay 45 per night for overnight parking at the golf club as there are parking restrictions everywhere else. Also we have been charged over 200 for a 1cm damage to the underside of the hot tub cover! No evidence to prove it was us and nothing apparently we can do about it which has totally spoiled our holiday experience.
Lovely property.
Gorse bank is an exceptional holiday cottage, perfectly located and extremely well equipped. I would highly recommend and would definitely book again.
