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.

It's 30 seconds walk to the sea and less than 5 minutes walk to the high street. The house itself is spacious, nicely furnished and well equipped. The beds are comfortable, there is lots of storage and has a modern kitchen and appliances. The property owner is approachable and helpful and kindly left us some goodies to welcome us. We really enjoyed our stay and we are happy to recommend it.

Comfortable beds and everything clean and tidy. Good smart tv and looks a new sofa which is comfortable. The curtains could do with being a bit thicker/black out in bedrooms, as very bright even at night with street lamp outside main window.
