Guests say
Ymwlch Bach Farmhouse is a well-loved property with breathtaking views and a warm, welcoming host. Guests appreciate the comfortable accommodations, the property's charm, and the tranquil location ideal for exploring North Wales. The farmhouse's traditional features and the occasional homemade treat from the owner add to the cosy experience.
The farmhouse is generally described as clean, with a few mentions of areas needing a deep clean, particularly the carpets. However, the majority of guests found the property to be well-kept.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views and tranquillity, making it an excellent base for exploring the area. Its proximity to attractions and natural beauty is a highlight for many visitors.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the farmhouse cosy, especially with the open fire. Some guests noted dated decor and furniture, and a few suggested that the living space could be more accommodating for larger groups.
The farmhouse is equipped with essential facilities, and the kitchen is modern and well-appointed. However, comments about the need for bathroom upgrades, the absence of a washing machine, and the reliance on oil-filled radiators suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The owner's thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the warm welcomes and occasional homemade cakes. While these gestures are cherished, it is noted that such personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed.
About this property
Half of a traditional Victorian farmhouse converted to provide fully-independent, self-contained accommodation, in a lovely rural location on a working farm 3 miles from Criccieth. The traditional Victorian farmhouse has been split in two, and one half has been carefully converted to create self-contained, well-equipped accommodation, a welcoming mix of antique furnishings and modern fixtures and fittings. The owner lives in the other half and is on hand to ensure a comfortable stay. Enjoy medieval castles, the mountain railway, National Trust properties, lakes and waterfalls. Also Surf Snowdonia and Zip World are within driving distance, and nearby Snowdonia National Park is a designated dark-sky reserve. A lovely property set amidst stunning mountainous scenery.
Often described as the âPearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia', Criccieth is a tranquil and delightful seaside town just five miles from Porthmadog. The town is dominated by a 13th Century castle that towers over the settlement on a rocky outcrop. From the castle there are superb views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. The area is a haven for water sports enthusiasts with two pristine beaches and walkers and hikers have the magnificence of the Snowdonia National Park to explore with a myriad of footpaths and walks throughout the region. The town itself is well served with restaurants, pubs, shops and tea-rooms, giving visitors an opportunity to sample the famous Cadwalader's Ice Cream. In the immediate vicinity is a wealth of attractions including Portmeirion's Italianate gardens, the Ffestiniog railway in Porthmadog, Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle and the beautiful beaches and renowned golf courses of the Lleyn Peninsula.

Within ten minutes drive to the shops . Could do with a update . .lots of little nic nacs about . Advertise washer so wasn't expecting to have to pay £2a load and £2 for the drier. For the cost it should be in the price. Kitchen has everything you need. Bathroom was small and too many things in it . Shower was good and all was very clean . Was aware of the home owner as they are only a door away . Can here them talking so we felt conscious of the noise we made also .

There was no wi-fi which was annoying. The furniture was dated and the decor was tired. The beds were comfortably, but the bathroom was small and needs up gradings, new electric shower was fine. No washing machine. I was not paying the owner £2 aload to use her washer. Open fire but you have to buy your own logs. oil filled radiators not brilliant. The kitchen was more modern and was reasonable well equipped. And as for cleaning and vacuuming before you leave is a joke, what are the cleaners paid for if you have already done it. You go on holiday to get away from that. lovely area good beaches,walking, food etc.
