Step into Muriau-Bach and instantly feel yourself exhale.

Your journey begins, in this pet friendly property in the entrance porch/utility room, the perfect spot to kick off muddy boots after a ramble in the fields (or sneakily hide all those ‘essential’ beach purchases). With a washing machine and tumble dryer ready for action, you can pack light and stay fresh - whether it's sandy towels or walking gear that needs some TLC.

From here, wander into the heart of the cottage: a spacious and airy kitchen-diner. Sage green cabinetry, sturdy wooden worktops, and a rustic farmhouse table create a warm, inviting atmosphere - as if the room itself is offering you a cup of tea and a biscuit. Large windows bathe the space in natural light, and every detail invites slow mornings and hearty breakfasts.

The living room is a cosy delight, complete with beautiful exposed beams, leather sofas made for sinking into, and a roaring wood burner to keep you toasty during cooler Welsh evenings. (A quick note: the steep staircase you’ll spy in the corner is purely decorative - it's not in use by guests.)

The generously sized king-size bedroom continues the peaceful country vibe with calming colours, charming details, and plenty of built-in storage. In the bathroom, you’ll find a sleek large walk-in shower, a smart WC, and a stylish vanity area - the perfect set-up for reviving after a long day of adventuring.

Outside, the stone-flagged private courtyard is your sun-drenched sanctuary. Enjoy leisurely al fresco lunches, romantic sunset suppers, or simply a glass of something chilled as you gaze over the rolling fields dotted with sheep - your only real neighbours. Please keep your dog on a lead at all times due to the farm animals around the property.

Nestled on a working farm on the outskirts of the peaceful hamlet of Rhoslan, Muriau-Bach offers that rare mix of proper countryside seclusion with easy access to local hotspots.

A short drive whisks you into the charming seaside town of Criccieth, where you’ll find sandy beaches, historic castles, cosy pubs, and ice cream worth writing home about. Meanwhile, the awe-inspiring landscapes of Eryri (Snowdonia National Park) and the iconic summit of Yr Wyddfa are right at your fingertips, promising adventure for all levels of intrepidness.

Whether you're planning brisk coastal walks, mountain summits, lazy beach days or simply some well-earned lounging, Muriau-Bach is the perfect base for your North Wales escape.

Location

 

Set on a working farm surrounded by peaceful fields, Muriau-Bach sits just outside the rural hamlet of Rhoslan, offering a true taste of Welsh country life - sheep, tractors and spectacular sunsets included.

Despite the tranquil setting, you're only a short drive from the Victorian seaside charm of Criccieth, where a dramatic castle looms over sandy beaches and a vibrant town centre bustles with independent shops, cafes and restaurants.

Further afield, the Italianate fantasy village of Portmeirion, the steam railways of Porthmadog, and the hiking and biking trails of Eryri are all within easy reach. And of course, Yr Wyddfa itself is ready and waiting for the bold (or those just happy to admire it from a pub garden).

We had a wonderful stay in the cottage! The cottage is perfect, the location is idyllic and so close to the coast and the mountains and the hosts were brilliant. The cottage was a little difficult to find, maybe a W3W location might make it easier to find. We would 100% recommend and will definitely be back again!

We’re so happy to have found this lovely cottage – the location is peaceful, the hosts welcoming and the facilities excellent (especially the kitchen area!) We used it as a base to explore the Llyn Peninsula, travelling as far as Aberdaron and Abersoch, and (reluctantly) left for home feeling rested and relaxed. Thank you so much – we would recommend this cottage and hope to be back in the future.

Muriau Bach is a lovely, stylish cottage in a fantastic location near Criccieth. It’s warm, modern, and beautifully presented. The bed was super comfortable with high-quality sheets, the kitchen was fully equipped, and the shower had amazing water pressure. The hosts are incredibly welcoming, and we really enjoyed our stay!

Muriau-Bach is ideally situated down a short track from a quiet B road. On our arrival we were greeted by Sharon and a lovely collie. The cottage was spotless and newly furnished with a very comfortable bed. The farm surroundings were also well kept. It was lovely to see the Suffolk sheep.
Thank you for the goodies you left us, especially for the bara brith, and also for your warm welcome.

Perfect cottage. Perfect hosts. On a farm so in a lovely rural location. Peaceful and quiet. In a brilliant location for different beaches, only a few miles from Criccieth castle. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the kitchen looked unused because it was so clean. Loved the Suffolk sheep and the beautiful sheepdog.
