Traditional Barn Conversion With Lots of Character Features | Stabal-Derwin

Criccieth

Stabal Derwin is a traditional barn conversion with lots of character features. Two bedrooms, sleeping four, this quirky property is filled with colour mixed with traditional and statement pieces of furniture. With close access to the A487, its location is perfect for exploring the North Wales region.

The main sitting room is so sumptuous, the use of large leather sofas, original floorboards, large bookcases filled with books, traditional rugs, exposed beams and brickwork make it so inviting and special. French doors open out onto the surrounding trees and fields. The log burner finishes off the room and you’ll find it hard to pull yourself away from spending relaxing days in here.

From the sitting room, a corridor takes you through to the bedrooms. A double and twin. As with the sitting room, the bedrooms are full of life and character - wrought iron beds, distressed furniture and the traditional welsh blankets make them all feel really homely. More books so you certainly won't be stuck for anything to read if you forgot to bring your own! Lots of colour which has been tastefully incorporated makes this property a real change from the more muted tones that tend to be used these days.

The family bathroom is opposite the bedrooms and includes a bath, WC and washbasin - traditional white with splashes of victorian style black tiles dotted around is exactly what you would expect from the way the rest of the house is decorated.

At the end of the house is the kitchen. Another fab room, it's a good size and has everything you will need to cater for your group - including an AGA and large Smeg fridge - we love all these touches. Traditional cream units along with a large farm style kitchen table with the obligatory colourful oilcloth make this a lovely room to cook and eat - it will be warm and cosy and cooking on an AGA makes life very easy when you get to grips with them. There is a back door leading out into the garden.

Location

This traditional barn conversion with lots of character features is situated on a farm and so you have plenty of outside space to roam about. There is a private garden and patio area where you can sit out and enjoy the wonderful scenery around you.

The cottage is just on the edge of the village of Bryncir in North Wales. It is a quiet village but perfectly placed to explore the North Wales area due to its easy access to the A487, giving you access to Caernarfon, Bangor, Llandudno and then South towards Porthmadog, Harlech and Barmouth. There is a small livestock market in the village as well as the all-important pub.

A 10-minute drive from the cottage will take you to the beautiful beaches of Criccieth and a 5-minute drive in the opposite direction will bring you to the rugged mountains of Snowdonia. The famous Portmeirion village is also only a 15-minute drive.

Plenty of cycling to do nearby as Lon Eifion, a green cycleway which takes you all the way up to Caernarfon and beyond to the north of the cottage. It follows a disused railway line and traffic-free so great for family bike rides if you have little ones in the mix.

If you are looking for adventure, there is plenty to be had with mountain biking, climbing, canyoning, golf, fishing, pony trekking and sailing nearby. The bigger attractions like ZipWorld - but it is safe to say that whatever the weather, there is something for all the family to enjoy.

The cottage was lovely and had everything you could need. Fresh flowers, wine and cake left by the owner for us son arrival. I am sight impaired and as all the rooms were off the long corridor it was very easy to get orientated. There was only 1 step in the cottage down to the lounge with a help-full handrail, perfect for me. It is very comfortably furnished and if you are a book lover, a paradise with books in almost every room. The garden is lovely and big and was very secure for our 2 dogs, who loved being out there. The cottage is down a track and in a dip in the valley. This made it so peaceful and so quiet at night. The only slight problem we had was in the main bedroom as there is a large and low bookshelf on the wall at the end of the bed, which you had to navigate round and we had a few bumped heads. Because of this we decided to use the other bedroom with twin beds. This actually turned out well for us as the room was bigger and airier and the beds were super comfy, so we had the best nights sleep. The only thing missing for me was a veg peeler (no big thing really), but due to my sight using knifes is not recommended! We were surprised that towels are not provided, as this is a standard facility even in the less affordable cottages. I suppose the owners have their reasons for it, so you do need to remember to take some with you. The cottage is well placed for all the local hot spots, Ccricieth, Abersoch, Porthmadog and Anglesey, so plenty to explore without being in the car too long. We would definitely use this cottage again.

Delightful, tranquil cottage which offered a completely relaxing vibe. Really comfortable, beautifully furnished with antiques, art and books and really well equipped. The MOST relaxing cottage we have ever stayed in!

Lovely secure garden for our dog, Willow, and generous, friendly owner next door.

10 mins drive into Criccieth (a gem of a place) and on the doorstep of the Snowdon ranges and surrounding coastal towns and villages.

Perfection!

A fantastic place to stay and handy for both Criccieth and Porthmadog.

We were made very welcome by the owner who provided a lovely home made cake and bottle of wine for us to enjoy.

The sitting room is sumptuous, impressively furnished and a great room in which to relax, however we spent virtually all of our time in the very spacious kitchen / diner which was warm and cosy and has a large farmhouse table that provides a great space to pour over maps and tourist information etc.

One other point of interest, the old railway line to Caernarfon is within a few yards of the cottage and has a tarmac surface providing an all year round (mud free) walking / cycling route.
