Holiday Cottage Near The Beach in Criccieth | Towyn

Towyn is a traditional two bedroom holiday cottage near the beach in Criccieth, North Wales. The cottage has big spacious living areas and two comfortable bedrooms and is walking distance from a couple of pubs, some lovely restaurants and a small collection of local shops and delicatessens. A perfect location for a traditional seaside holiday.

In the living room, two comfortable sofas sit facing each other either side of a lovely real log fire. Whilst at the other end of the room, an impressive solid wood dining table and chairs sit in front of a large picture window looking seaward. The adjoining snug come lounge is smaller but still plenty of room for four people. This room includes that all important TV and a living flame gas fire this time. The fire is a lovely focal point naturally, but the modern central heating system will also provide more than enough heat through the entire house.

An original pastel blue enamelled Aga is a welcome addition to what is otherwise a thoroughly modern kitchen. Simple cream kitchen units under a beach effect worktop sit under double glazed windows facing out onto the lovely and mature rear garden. The breakfast table is a great option for more informal meal times or if you’re busy preparing a picnic for that family day on the beach

There are two bedrooms in the cottage. One twin room and one double room. The double room offers a comfortable double bed and ample storage space. Both rooms are bright and airy and wonderfully quiet thanks to the thick stonewalls. The bathroom is split into two with a large shower cubicle and washbasin in one room and a WC in a second room. A great arrangement if, like me, you have two teenage daughters who seem to spend forever in the shower.

Location

 

The cottage has a lovely elevated garden to the rear of the house. Mature shrubs and lawn help frame a wonderfully informal outdoor space. Views of both the sea and Criccieth castle are the icing on the cake.

There is a nice collection of shops and delis in the village. Idris Café with its freshly baked bread and cakes is a favourite of mine. But if you want a bit more choice a short 10 minute drive along the coast road will bring you to the larger harbour towns of Pwllheli and Porthmadog. Both towns have the standard chain supermarkets as well as a mix of shops, pubs and restaurants.

If you get bored of the beach there’s lots to do in the area. Animal pet farm, go carting and more are also nearby. Guests should book ahead for larger attractions such as the Zip Wire in Bethesda.

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.

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.

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.

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. 🙂
