Pant Golau is the beautiful Welsh phrase for ‘Bright Valley,’ situated in the beautiful Pensarn valley and hamlet.

Now the story goes, and it’s generally true, that it rains a lot in Wales! In general it rains a lot on the mountains. The coast gets more sunshine. But the even better news is that some places get more sun than others.

Our Bright Valley is one of the best of those places.

It’s currently early January, very wet, and yesterday was the day of Storm Henk. I’ll be really honest, it rained a lot. But even as the rain stopped and the clouds became lighter, our valley brightened and over the coast the blue sky appeared. The first place to be in sun was Llandanwg, closely followed by the Pensarn valley. The sun was shining again in our bright valley.

Where the forecast for neighbouring Llanbedr and the villages along the coast remained cloudy for the next few hours, we were bathed in sunshine! And so it remained for the rest of the day as we headed out to walk the 30mimute walk to the sea - along the lane, over the brilliant Cambrian Railway (one track, a service each way every two hours, four hours to Birmingham, and at three hours of stunning beauty!), round Pensarn Harbour, across the salt marshes and dunes, and on to the beach.

You’ll unlikely to be this way in December, though you’ll always be welcome - we have electric central heating and a log fire! More likely you’ll be here in the summer. But whenever you come it’s always brighter in Pant Golau!

The pictures from today’s walk tell the story. And just in case you want proof of the weather patterns, the screenshots of the Met Office weather app are alongside! It’s pretty well always the same story.

If you want some of the best weather in Wales, there are lots of weeks available in 2024! (And if we are booked there are lots of places in Dioni houses in Llandanwg!)

(And as they always say, ther places and companies are available. And Terms and Conditions apply: good weather not guaranteed, etc etc.)

Our lovely St Tanwg’s church at Llandanwg. A walk from Pant Golau around the edge of Pensarn Harbour brings you to this church nestled in the sand dunes backing on to the beach. It’s not to be missed.

This amazing flight along the whole coast of Wales is set to start as you fly over the Mawddach estuary and up the Ardudwy coast. Pensarn Harbour comes into view around 2.29.00, but sadly you cannot quite see Pant Golau. You can get to know this beautiful stretch of coast by staying in the cottage!

Pet Friendly Family Holiday Cottage | PANT-GOLAU

Sleeps 8 | Pet Friendly | Near Beach | Near Pub | Real Fire

Pant-Golau is Welsh for sunny or bright valley, and it certainly was the day we visited. This pet friendly family holiday cottage is on the end of a charming little row of three cottages in a little hamlet called Pensarn. But the country setting belies what is quite a posh and modern property inside. Chic, I think, would be the right word.
