About this property
A fantastic, modern, detached Criccieth cottage on a cul-de-sac in the centre of the town, with views to the beach and sea from the front of the property, and of Criccieth Castle to the side. This Criccieth cottage has been tastefully furnished and offers spacious accommodation, while outside, open lawned gardens and a patio area are ideal for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine while the children play. Criccieth has two superb beaches, one within 100 metres of this Criccieth cottage, which is perfect for swimming, watersports and rock-pooling, and if you are lucky, you may spot one of the visiting dolphins who enjoy the warm gulf stream that flows along this beautiful coast.
Situated on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park, Criccieth is a delightful town with an array of shops, pubs and restaurants on your doorstep, as well as Criccieth Castle which was built in the 13th century and dominates the landscape on its rocky perch at one end of the town.

Quiet location 100 yards from the sea front. Views of Criccieth castle from kitchen and bedrooms. Easy access into the house.

It is a very easy level walk to the sea front and a green space with lots of seats. Criccieth is a brilliant base for exploring North Wales giving access to the mountains, The Lleyn Peninsular, and lots of fabulous beaches. We were lucky to get a fair amount of sun! We hope to be back.
