Resting in the centre of Criccieth, Gwynedd is this pretty, first-floor apartment, Gwel Y Castell (Castle View). Close to the beach and Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, the apartment welcomes a group or family of four to discover the best of North Wales. A designated parking space is available, as well as unrestricted roadside parking, to unload your luggage with ease. Up the stairs to the first floor where your home-from-home awaits; admire the panoramic views of Castell Criccieth, the sea and Eryri (Snowdonia) mountains in the distance from the living/dining room. Start the electric fire on colder nights and snuggle up on the sofa in front of the Smart TV. Whilst the family chef whips up dinner in the well-equipped kitchen, set the dining table ready to tuck into a hearty meal together. Whether you choose a day by the sea or rambling the idyllic countryside, throw your gear into the handy washing machine and freshen up in the shower room, complete with a heated towel rail and a spacious, walk-in shower. Choose the king-size bedroom with a large window framing gorgeous views to wake up to, along with an en-suite cloakroom and TV, whilst the twin offers a TV with Xbox 360 for guests to relax and play games in the evening. In the morning, make a fresh cup of coffee using the coffee machine and enjoy a seat in the communal garden; a peaceful spot to plan the day's adventures! You'll be in the heart of Criccieth, a fabulous seaside town with amenities on your doorstep, from traditional Welsh inns to classic fish and chips. Hike up the hill to get a closer look at the castle ruins, stroll along the town's promenade with an ice cream in hand, or while away the day on Criccieth Beach. The Llŷn Peninsula is a spectacular holiday destination for watersports, coastal paths and picturesque village such as Abersoch, home to popular sandy beaches, a golf club and seafront eateries. Alternatively, visit the Maritime Museum in the bustling Porthmadog, or hop on the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways for unforgettable vistas on a vintage steam train! A little Italy in Wales, Portmeirion is another must-visit for enchanting architecture, tea rooms and woodland walks. Snowdonia National Park is also within easy reach for ample outdoor adventures, whether that's hiking to the top of Glyder Fawr or a fun-filled day at Zip World. There's something for everyone with a stay at Gwel Y Castell (Castle View).
This charming seaside village has a 13th-century castle sits majestically atop a rocky outcropping, dominating the skyline with views of Tremadog Bay and the Eryri (Snowdonia) mountains. The two beaches will satisfy watersports enthusiasts, while the nearby Snowdonia National Park will provide plenty of options for walkers and cyclists.

Well appointed and more TV's than Currys! Great view from lounge and one of the bedrooms. Would definitely return. In near walking distance of all Criccieth's amenities.

Itâs clean, spacious and lovingly cared for. The furnishing is of quality and clearly the owners put lots of thoughts into the details. One of the best places Iâve ever stayed.
David
The flat is spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped, providing everything you could possibly need. In previous reviews of other places we have visited, we have mentioned negatives, but not here. We could not fault it. Our best recommendation is that we are planning to book again. Thank you.
