A fantastic cottage. Loads of space and a beautiful garden to enjoy if the sun is shining. A great position on a quiet lane 5 miles from the sea and with the Llyn peninsula and Snowdonia mountains a short drive away. We would definitely return and recommend for others.

We had a great week at Dulwyn. The cottage was so clean , spacious and well equipped. The fresh flowers and welcome pack were much appreciated. The garden was also lovely and so quiet. Its so near to lovely beaches, small interesting towns, mountains, a steam train and cycle routes. Black Rock Sands is great as you can drive onto the beach ( if like us you have lots of things to take). Criccieth is really beautiful. Sian quickly sorted out a minor problem we had and Louise at Dioni is so helpful too.

We had a lovely holiday break at Dulwyn in November 2019. The cottage is well equipped, really warm and cosy. What a lovely gesture on arrival we were welcomed with a lots of essentials, milk, bread, wine, cheese etc. Such a lovely touch.
We loved the area, so close to various coastal towns and beautiful beaches. We love our walks and to return back to this cosy cottage, it was amazing.
I would definitely return and highly recommend this propertY.
Thanks again Sian and Dioni.

Really clean and well presented cottage. Gardens were very pretty and a pleasure to sit out in. Cottage was in a quiet lane with fairly easy access to Cricieth and Pwllheli and all of the shops. Spent the days walking and a walk from the cottage to St Cybi’s Well at Llanystumdwy is only about 15 minutes away. (Acccesable from the church grounds and walk through the back and up the hill to see the sea and the wonderful surrounding areas). Would recommend this cottage wholeheartedly.

Dulwyn is a fabulous cottage in such an idyllic location. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated and having two lounges is a great idea. The welcome hamper is amazing and greatly appreciated after our journey.
The location is between Criccieth and Pwhelli, not more than 15 minutes to either place. Beach is really nice and dog friendly at Pwhelli. Lovely dog friendly ice cream place in Criccieth and fabulous Thai restaurant that does takeaway food.
The only negative I would have to say about the cottage is the garden. It’s huge, wraps around the cottage and is very pretty but it’s not fully enclosed for a small dog who likes to wander off and explore. Even the front gate onto the lane has a gap that a small dog could get under and the metal fencing between the garden and next doors garden has wide gaps too.
I was disappointed as I had asked questions beforehand and luckily had taken our garden extension lead but felt unhappy that I couldn’t just open the door and let my dog out on his own and had to keep him harnessed all week.

We had such a wonderful time at Dulwyn cottage, we didn’t want to leave! We have been coming to the area for around 14 years and stayed in many different cottages and this was definitely one of our favourites!
It was lovely to receive a welcome pack on arrival! 🙂
It was great to see our older two children (13 and 12) off their devices and playing in the garden and our 21 month old little girl loving it too!
There is plenty of space for a family of five like ours (plus dog. Our dog is adopted and reactive so the peace and quiet was a wonderful holiday for her). Having two living rooms was great at times if we wanted to watch different things/play games etc but we also enjoyed a movie night in the larger living room where we were all comfortable and had plenty of space.
The bedrooms were lovely and the beds were very comfortable.
The area is gorgeous and a great spot for going off and visiting our favourite places. We went to Portmeirion, Beddgelert (beautiful, and my children have always loved the story of Gelert),Ty Coch Inn, (we stayed in the flat above the Pub there and have been going back ever since), I even had a very quick swim in the sea! We had pub meals in the Saracen’s Head Beddgelert, The Australia in Porthmadog, Pen Y Gwryd Hotel and Ty Coch Inn, all great food!
If we had more time I would have liked to get to Harlech and Abersoch.
Can’t wait for our next holiday in Wales!

Fantastic cottage which was tastefully furnished and fully equipped. Everything was spotlessly clean and the welcome hamper was much appreciated. Unfortunately the weather was wet and windy for the whole of our stay but that didn’t spoil our enjoyment as it was really cosy in the cottage. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing retreat.

STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL – SPOTLESSLY CLEAN – BEST LANDLADY EVER!
We (family of 4 plus 1 dog) have just returned from the most amazing holiday in this stunning area of Wales, had the most amazing summer weather and LOVED the cottage!
Want to go back right now!
The cottage and garden do look amazing on these photos already – they still don’t do it justice. It is even better in real and the garden is even (much!) bigger than we thought – it goes all the way around the cottage. Lots of space in any direction.
It is a bit more remote (secluded!) than expected, but that was just fine and SO peaceful. The only sounds we heard were pheasants and the odd cow or horse. Beautiful!
I am a bit picky when it comes to cleanliness and equipment in the kitchen, we have rented all over the place – and this was ONE OF THE BEST accomodations ever! Spotless! Everything provided that you could possibly need PLUS a wonderful surprise when we arrived. Wait and see!
In addition to all of that the landlady was wonderful! Her running a lovely café in Criccieth helped when we needed to order a birthday cake for our younger one celebrating her birthday while we were in the cottage. It was delicious! Also try her bread and cakes! Yummy!
We stayed for a full fortnight as we were in desperate need of a proper holiday – and that was still too short for all the things you can do while you’re there.
AMAZING beaches (especially Harlech! and right near Criccieth), great hiking (up Snowdon, along the coast path, circular route from/to Criccieth etc), water sports, horse riding, impressive castles, lovely restaurants (try Dylan’s!)…There was so much else to do that we just couldn’t fit in. I guess we will have to come back at some point (if it wasn’t for the long drive from Germany…). We even went to Liverpool for a day trip. Great!!
ENJOY!!!! You won’t regret booking here!

Fantastic cottage, wonderful garden, and soooo peaceful. We were there in the heatwave as well, so ate outside (two different patio areas depending on time of day!) for every meal.
You have thought of absolutely everything in the cottage, so much space to spread out, and internet connection excellent.
Easy striking distance to castles, beaches, mountains (if it hadn’t been a heatwave!).
Thank you!

I can only reiterate the comments above about this cottage, it was spotlessly clean and fully equipped. No need to take washing up liquid, sponges, dishcloths or cleaning products, they are there for you to use; I was impressed. We did have a problem with the boiler but Sian sorted it out for us. It was an inconvenience not to have running hot water but these things happen, don’t they even at home lol.
One thing I would like to say is that the sat nav told us we had reached our destination at the crossroads of the lane and we thought ah, where is the cottage – continue up the lane and you will find Dulwyn on the right handside in a secluded position and within a beautiful large mature garden. Totally enclosed and safe for your dog/dogs. The utility room is an added bonus for storing dog leads/food etc.,
I would have no hesitation in booking this cottage again it is a gem of a find in beautiful part of Wales.
Visited Llanbedrog beach, twice because we loved it and the facilities that are there. We also went to Coed Cymaues to photograph the waterfalls, superb if you are a photographer and if you like scenery try Porthor and Porthdillaen and, of course, Criccieth itself where you will find the fabulous Cadwaladers, dog friendly and you can buy your furbaby their own frozen yoghurt if you wish.
Tip: Read the reviews they are all accurate.

Lovely, well equipped cottage in a beautiful part of North Wales, we couldn’t fault it. We had to deal with the owner Sian a couple of times over issues of the previous guests and she was very helpful and sorted it all out. Highly recommend this cottage

This spacious cottage really is a credit to the owners and cleaner – beautifully clean, well maintained, lots of thoughtful touches, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen and everything is easy to use. The cottage was warm when we arrived and a quality welcome pack and a vase of daffodils were waiting for us. Peaceful location.
We loved staying in Dulwyn and hope to return again. Would definitely recommend.
