Drive over the historic river bridge to this peaceful spot in Llanystumdwy village, which is located on the Wales coastal path. Enjoy scenic riverside and woodland walks from the doorstep of this gorgeous cottage with an enclosed garden. Spend your days down on sandy Criccieth Beach (1.5 miles), or head to town for its landmark 13th-century castle, cafes and shops. Explore Morfa Bychan, the wonderful rivers of Afon Glaslyn and Afon Dwyfor, and the rugged hill, Moel y Gest, all within 7 miles. Other nearby rural walks include Ynysypandy Slate Mill, Llyn Hafod-y-Llyn and Craig Cwm Silyn, all within 10 miles.

A little further afield is the remarkable Snowdonia National Park mountain range (18 miles). This is an all-year-round destination for family, friends and the dog.

Step inside this gorgeous cottage with exposed beams, a feature fireplace and stylish furnishings that combine to create a beautiful and welcoming retreat. After a full day out, the lounge is the perfect place to unwind each evening with comfortable sofas, a wood burner, and a Smart TV. The kitchen is a light and airy space with all the equipment you need to rustle up a meal, with local produce purchased on your visit to the town. When the culinary delights are ready, gather at the dining table to savour the meal and enjoy the view over the garden – maybe let the outside in and open the French doors onto the patio to listen to birdsong. When you’re ready to retire, head upstairs and choose from two spacious bedrooms: the king-size or the zip-and-link twin (which can be made up as a super-king-size at the time of booking). Both have been designed with your comfort in mind for a good night's sleep. The modern shower room is spacious with a large shower cubicle, perfect for a leisurely start to the day.

A cosy, comfortable, well-equipped cottage in a quiet location close to Criccieth. Nice walks on the doorstep and a good base from which to explore the Llyn Peninsula.

Lovely clean cottage. Everything you needed was included. Just a shame there were no local pubs to walk to.

A delightful cottage in a superb location with beautiful riverside walks starting 20 yards from the front door, the coast is a 20 minute walk away, a short drive gets you to Criccieth and Pwllheli, and it is located in a charming quiet village. A great spot to explore the local area and the Llyn Peninsula from. The cottage itself is very charmingRead more, cosy and comfortable with a wood burning stove to add to the evening ambiance. The kitchen is well supplied with appliances and utensils etc and had everything we required. All in all an excellent spot to return to at the end of the day and one that we hope to return to again in the not too distant future. The host, Paul, was great at communicating with us via text, making sure that everything was okay with the cottage for us, offering up local knowledge and checking we had had a good trip after we had left, a reassuring addition to the holiday knowing that the owner was invested in us having a great stay, very much appreciated!
