The four hundred year old cottage was a short walking distance to the beach. The main road into Criccieth, running past the cottage, was not noisy. The views from the two living rooms face the sea, over the neighbouring avenue, and have views of the castle. The main living room and the main bedroom are quite spacious.
We parked two cars on the shared drive with no problems.
The Llyn Peninsula is beautiful and the cottage allows easy access to all parts.
I would recommend visiting Plas Glyn y Weddw Gallery at Llanbedrog. It is simply a gem displaying wonderful paintings and sculptures within a tremendous building near the beach. You can spend half a day there and get a meal in the beautiful, award winning cafe.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were lucky with the weather and its a great distance from the beach

This is at least my 4th visit to Towyn. The bungalow is magnificent, and is kitted out generously. We were left a welcome pack which is a thoughtful touch. The owner, Gwyn, is superb, very helpful and even text me on arrival to tell me the bungalow had been cleaned and was ready! I can’t fault this place, we have had yet another perfect holiday.
I’m looking forward already to returning next year. Thank you so much Gwyn.

Super cottage, still welcoming & enjoyable. Another great visit here. Looking forward to the next time already !!!!

Towyn is a well positioned, well equipped, and very comfortable cottage. It was so nice to not move the car for a day or so, as everything was within walking distance. Nice views of the sea from both of the living rooms. Beware though, the gateway isn’t very wide so care is needed if you have a wide vehicle. Maybe the property would benefit from a little seating area, with table and chairs, in the garden.Would recommend this property.

Lovely cottage, great location.

We had a great holiday in this home from home. Absolutely amazing location. It is much larger than it appears on the pictures. Great living space to relax in. Really well equipped kitchen to cook in. Lovely well maintained large garden with amazing views from the picnic bench.
It was great to be able to park on the shared drive straight outside the property (look for the P (parking sign) by the front door, and you ‘pull in’ to a spot, to keep the private drive wide enough for cars to pass, as its a shared drive with next door. Don’t park in front of any of the garages as access is required. We found this obvious from the welcome book, P sign and note in the kitchen, but the arrival instructions hadn’t made it clear. We were able to work it out when we got there. But it could have been explained in the arrival instructions, so it was more clear.
The neighbours who share the drive are a lovely friendly retired couple who took time to say hello and were really helpful and went out of their way to be kind and welcoming to our family.

We stayed at Towyn cottage in Criccieth and it was so lovely, we would definitely go back in a minute. Such a great location, five minutes walk to the beach and the town. Fabulous views from the garden of the sea and the castle on the hill. The cottage was gorgeous with two lovely sunny separate sitting rooms, both with very comfortable couches so it is possible to relax. This is not the case in a lot of other places we have stayed in. Good off road parking and lovely neighbours too! Wish we were still there!!

Towyn, is a lovely big cottage, plenty of space and very nice comfortable rooms, with all the bits you need, walking distance to the lovely beach and the very pretty town of Criccieth and lots of great places to eat and visit nearby. Towyn has a lovely garden which our dogs loved ( only thing missing was a couple of garden chairs ) to sit out and enjoy a coffee after along day out. We had a lovely holiday and would definitely recommend and return in the future. 🙂

Just returned from our third visit to this home from home. Great location and views. Friendly neighbours. What more can we say.
Mary and Brian Tolley
We enjoyed our stay at Towyn, and some beautiful sunny weather all week. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. We found that the lightweight chairs we brought were very useful in the garden.
We would recommend the filled rolls at Idris Cafe, the bakery in the village.
We hope to visit again sometime.

Criccieth is a great base for exploring North Wales. Towyn is a lovely large cottage, clean and well equipped with great views from the garden.
The neighbour David Roberts, who is in his nineties, is very friendly and we agreed with him the parking arrangements for the cars on arrival. We called in for lunch at Caffi Cwrt Tea Rooms in the centre of Criccieth. Excellent food and friendly service. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Beautiful, well equipped and comfortable cottage. Great position on the road into Criccieth, within walking distance of both the seafront and shops. Friendly neighbours! We enjoyed eating at Dylans, fish and chips from the shop near the castle and of course ice cream from Cadwalladers.
First time staying at Towyn and hope to return soon

Location Location Location
The views from this property are stunning up on the top garden castle and sea views that stretch for miles
Easy walking distance to all the local facilities loved Cricceth as this was our first visit to this area we normally stay closer to Barmouth. lovely spacious cottage, friendly neighbour with adjoining drive,if your bringing your dog this property is dog friendly but the garden is not fully secure they can wonder round the top garden and down the drive so be aware.
Only criticism would be that there was no welcome pack on arrival and we have had some lovely ones left in previous properties also to provide a radio in the kitchen and a little extra spring clean then this would be perfect.

Another most enjoyable holiday at Towyn. This comfortable & welcoming cottage fits all our needs as well as being suitable for a family. We are looking forward already to our next visit.

Great location. The cottage had everything we needed. Parking – next door neighbours ask you to move your car even when not blocking the shared drive in any way. It seems that the neighbours need to use some of Towyn parking space in front of Towyn garage to turn their car. Might be worth putting up some parking signs as the neighbour suggested it was ‘blatantly obvious’ that we should have known.
Would recommend cottage based on location.

Very nice cosy cottage in good location. Just over the road from beach. Very well equipped. Great for our dogs with lobby for muddy wellies + to wash them. Gorgeous fires in both lounges were a real treat. Lovely powerful shower + comfy beds.

Towyn is a very comfortable and spacious cottage in a great location for exploring the Llyn peninsula. It’s great to see that Dylan’s restaurant is still as good as during our previous visit four years ago.

So glad to review this, stayed a couple of years ago and was the best place we stayed on our 5 week euro trip which included Rome and Paris!!! So relaxing and the village is beautiful.
Jackie
We had a last minute booking and we do thank Dioni for supporting us in our difficult situation we found ourselves in. Towyn is very well located, minutes from the beach and shops but quiet enough to enjoy the property. It was clean and well equipped, great views from the garden, I can image sitting outside in the summer would lovely. The property is steeped in family history. Thank you

We had a wonderful time in your beautiful, spacious and well equipped cottage :-).
The location was perfect and just a few minutes walk to the beach and to footpaths into the hills.
Great as a base for exploring Snowdonia, the coast and lots of castles (managed to bag 4 – they’re free if you have English Heritage).
We really didn’t want to leave and will certainly be back.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
Hope to see you again soon.
Janet Biard
Towyn is a spacious comfortable cottage with lots of storage space (rare in holiday cottages) and a well equipped kitchen. The lovely thick cottage walls kept the inside cool during the recent soaring temperatures. The garden has a lovely view to the castle and was a good spot to sit in the cooler evenings. Towyn is a short walk to the beach and only slightly further to the local shops. We recommend booking if you want to eat at Dylan’s or Poachers – both of which served excellent food.
Criccieth is a great base for exploring the Llyn Penisula.
Paul Roberts
We had a great time staying in Towyn. Close to the beach and town, plus local to Snowdonia and other attractions. The only comments would be close to a very busy road, no shower when you flush the toilet and needs a BBQ.
Kind regards,
Paul

Thank you once again for our holiday booked through yourselves. We enjoyed our stay, accommodation comfortable, although we felt it needed a bit of a refresh, the view from the cottage was beautiful, Criccieth was a charming place to visit, the weather was good to us, thank you.
Sheila Kirby
Our 1st visit to here & found that Cottage is in a Great location for beach & lovely Criccieth, meaning easy walk to there & Ideal location for travelling around the area. Found it was lovely warm in the cottage, it was quiet & has big hilly garden, ideal for children. Drive entrance narrow but was ok with our little Toyota Yaris. Parked close to cottage so neighbour who has joint access could get access too. Lovely qwerty 400 year old place That naturally has lots Of history.
Bev and family
Lovely cottage. Clean, warm, excellent location. Looking forward to another visit.
Sara Plumb
Lovely cottage in the perfect position close to the beach, Dyllans restaurant and walking distance into town. It was also an easy drive to many things to do in the area. We visited in the off-season but if you’re there at busy times it might be advisable to book anything you specially want to do in advance.
The cottage is very comfortable, was lovely and clean and had everything we could have needed. Having the 2 sitting rooms was a real bonus. The beds were comfortable and it was quiet at night. The kitchen is well-equipped by normal holiday cottage standards and we cooked in on a couple of nights without any problems at all.
Beware the narrow entrance gates – perfectly do-able with caution though. Lovely garden with great views over the coastline and castle from the top.
We had a wonderful stay! Thank you!
Sarah Hollins
The location of this cottage is great, a short walk to the beach and into Criccieth. We had a lovely holiday.

2nd stay at Towyn. Spotless on arrival. 0ur 1st holiday for 2 years in a homely, comfortable cottage. As we are elderly, bed stripping was tiring on our last morning (we understand the reason) We look forward to our next holiday in Towyn as we hope to return.
Murray Reid
Towyn is a wonderful cottage, very well equipped and with a beautiful garden and lovely sea views. Criccieth is a great place to stay and is convenient for both visiting Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsula

Absolutely lovely couple of days at Town. Beautiful cottage, with great history. Warm and well equipped.
Didn’t want to attempt getting a Defender through the gateway, but plenty of parking at back of property. Good base to explore

Towyn is a beautiful cottage , beautifully positioned and very spacious. It is so well equipped and comfortable. We had a wonderful holiday last week there and couldn’t have been more satisfied. We particularly appreciated the picnic bench at the top of the garden with outstanding views of the sea, mountains and Criccieth Castle. It was just perfect and as the tune says, ‘We’re so damn lucky’ to have stayed there. We also met the owner who was very friendly too!

The cottage is very well situated and is ideally located to enjoy Criccieth. The entrance to the drive is very tight with only a few inches to spare on either side, I found it difficult to judge the width available because the stone entrance pillars are narrower at the bottom than the top, I had to fold both mirrors in to access the drive with extreme caution, the negotiation of the entrance is made even more difficult because it is located on the main road into the town which can be busy. I think that the width of the entrance should be pointed out on the website, because in my opinion certain vehicles would find it impossible to access. I would recommend checking with the agents the width of the entrance before making your reservation.

Lovely situation and well equipped cottage. Lovely to be able to walk out to the beach or town for food. Weather was pretty kind too! Probably just my wife, but mattress on double could do with being a tad more forgiving (mattress topper??) – has a bad back!! So more our problem, but lovely place and would thoroughly recommend to all who love Wales! We even got chance to enjoy a BBQ in the back garden!! Thanks so much!

What a lovely place to stay. The cottage was like home from home with all you would require for a relaxing holiday. The town of Criccieth was very nice with lots of little shops to browse and the beach area superb. Would certainly go again.

Lovely spacious cottage in a great location. Short walk from the beaches and Criccieth village. The cottage has been recently renovated and has everything you could require. No phone signal but a good wi-fi so you can stay in contact and I used my phone to listen to the radio via wi-fi (there is a TV). At the weekend the local restaurants are often fully booked (there are two chip shops) the closest restaurant Dylan’s can be booked on-line. Really enjoyed our stay and would return.

A truly lovely cottage – a short walk to the town centre, a very short walk to the beach and great sea views (especially from the top of the garden). The cottage is very spacious and airy, yet feels cosy too.

We all had a very comfortable week in the cottage and although the weather was not too kind, had a great time. The cottage was a home from home very spacious light and well decorated. It is a very enviable position with so many attractions on the doorstep.
