Splendid Country Cottage Snowdonia

HaoyuRating, 5 stars8 months ago
A lovely cottage in a very quiet environment. Rooms were clean and all things needed were there. When you arrive late at night, it could be a bit difficult to see the stone next to the main road that indicates the entrance to the site. Maybe we could consider adding a picture of that stone which had the name of the hall on it?

Plus lidl is just 2-3 walks and Morrison is 4mins drive from this place. Henceforth this will be my default place to stay at North Wales and also would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to explore north wales and need a beautiful peaceful place to stay with no negative points :) Thanks again Eira.

Self catering apartment

LewRating, 5 stars1 day ago
What a place! Helen and her husband were very welcoming and had even left Easter treats on the table for us. They knew we were coming with our one year old so had put the fire guard up which was much appreciated. Even better the fire had been lit for our arrival and new logs left outside each day! we got a bit lost finding it on the first day but that was us not reading the instructions properly, it's quite easy! It's an excellent location, very peaceful and quiet and only a few mins drive away from everything you could need in Llandudno. The bed is very comfy and myself, my partner and baby all slept better than we have in ages! We would recommend and will hopefully stay again.

Amazing up side down house with mega views

SarahRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We highly recommend staying at this wonderful house. The photos really do not do it justice - the house is an incredible space and the views are utterly stunning. The house was beautifully clean, the bedsheets were luxurious and cosy, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could need. The bathrooms are modern and fantastic. The bedrooms are larger than they appear in the photos and beautifully decorated. The proximity to the town is excellent but the house is also private and peaceful. It also has a wonderful enclosed space for dogs to run around in. We are so grateful to Ben for letting us stay over Christmas, with the house beautifully decorated for the festive period. We hope to be able to come and stay again soon!

The Pines, by Birch Stays

HabibaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Our family had an amazing time at this gorgeous home! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and even better than the photos. The space was warm, inviting, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making sure we felt right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to create special memories together. Highly recommend and would love to stay again!

Your guide to Criccieth

All About Criccieth

The town of Criccieth is situated on the north shore of Cardigan Bay on the Llŷn Peninsula — an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty reaching out to the Irish Sea. As with many North Wales coastal towns, the arrival of the railway in the 1860s brought holidaymakers to enjoy the seaside. With its independent book shops, art and craft galleries, pretty tea rooms serving spiced Welsh cakes, and cosy pubs with local beers on tap, much of the charm of a traditional Victorian seaside town remains today.

Criccieth has two sheltered beaches, both of which benefit from the warmer Gulf Stream waters. People come to the pebble shore of the eastern beach to paddle in its shallower waters, while the western beach has a finer grain. There’s even a chance of spotting dolphins offshore. The beaches are divided by a 13th-century castle and fortress perched dramatically atop the headland. During low tide, views extend across the Snowdonia mountains and Cardigan Bay. These vistas inspired famous poets, and one of England’s best-known artists captured local scenes in watercolour. Criccieth also makes a great base for walkers, hikers, and wildlife enthusiasts to explore nearby Snowdonia National Park, which boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in Wales.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Criccieth

The Welsh coast experiences its fair share of rainfall, keeping the surrounding countryside lush and green. If you’re trying to avoid wet weather, arranging your visit for May is your best bet. The town’s fairs are traditionally held on May 23 and June 29 each year, drawing visitors from neighbouring towns to enjoy fairground rides and food stalls.

In July and August, you can take full advantage of the warm Gulf Stream-fed waters and fish for bass and dogfish. Dramatic seafront skyscapes can be enjoyed at any time of year, and there’s nothing like cosying up next to an open fire in a traditional Welsh pub in winter — just remember to bundle up against the chilly sea air once you leave.


Top things to do in Criccieth

Criccieth Castle

Standing tall on the headland between the town’s two beaches, the original Criccieth Castle was built by Llywelyn the Great in the 13th century. The intervening centuries have seen it change hands between the Welsh and English many times. An exhibition in the entrance to the ruins tells the stories of the area’s invasions and legends. The commanding views of the town and Cardigan Bay from what’s left of this stronghold are worth a visit on their own.

The Lloyd George Museum

In the nearby village of Llanystumdwy you’ll find the childhood home of David Lloyd George, the prime minister of the United Kingdom during World War One. The museum has preserved his whitewashed cottage in the style in which he lived in it, with artefacts telling the story of how a Criccieth boy grew up to lead the nation’s health and welfare reform.

Wales Coast Path

The Wales Coast Path traces all 1,400 kilometres of the Welsh coast, and the 11-kilometre stretch between Criccieth and nearby Porthmadog showcases stunning sea views, a kaleidoscopic display of wildflowers, and detours to sandy beaches. The path is well connected to the local bus network, so it’s easy to hop on a bus back to Criccieth.
