If you’re looking for a dog friendly property, in an ideal location for exploring both Eryri (Snowdonia) and Pen Llyn (Llyn Peninsula), within walking distance of the beach, and with the added benefit of an EV charger, then this stylish contemporary bungalow with far-reaching sea views ticks all the boxes!

Recently renovated, Yr Awel is ideally located in a quiet cul-de-sac yet within easy walking distance of the centre of Criccieth. Known for its ruined castle and connections to Lloyd George, Criccieth is a laid back coastal town with plenty to offer. A path leading from the back garden provides a shortcut to the town centre, meaning you can walk to the various cafes, pubs, shops and restaurants, and of course, the beach, all within a few minutes.

The property sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms with off road parking for two cars and a newly landscaped private garden with panoramic views.

All three bedrooms are decorated in soothing neutral tones, setting the scene for rest and relaxation, and a break from day to day life. To the front of the property the twin bedroom is decorated in calming blue and white, with artwork reflecting the property’s coastal location. Next to the twin is the main bathroom, with a full sized bath as well as a double walk-in shower, followed by a double bedroom which looks out onto the side garden and has the benefit of a wall mounted smart TV, perfect for lazy mornings.

The spacious master bedroom features a king sized bed and an ensuite shower room that gives luxury hotel vibes with a sleek bathroom suite, back lit mirror and generous double shower. This lovely bedroom also has a wall mounted smart TV and large patio doors which open onto a small terrace, an ideal morning coffee spot to sit and enjoy the far reaching sea views.

The open plan kitchen / living / dining room is a light and spacious room with picture windows affording views over the garden to Bae Ceredigion; patio doors open from the dining area onto the terrace with steps leading to the garden.

The sleek contemporary kitchen is well equipped, with a fridge freezer, dishwasher, oven, hob and microwave, along with a four slice toaster to cater for large family breakfasts, and a washing machine to help you keep on top of holiday laundry. A breakfast bar with comfortable high chairs links the kitchen and living areas and provides a sociable space to enjoy a glass of wine while preparing dinner. In the living area the large L shaped sofa is a welcome spot to relax after a day of exploring the local area, and enjoy a film on the large wall mounted smart TV.

At the rear of this stylish contemporary bungalow with far-reaching sea views the private garden has been thoughtfully landscaped, the terrace makes an ideal al fresco breakfast spot, while a further decked area has been perfectly positioned to make the most of the beautiful views and provides the main outdoor dining area. The garden offers plenty of space for children and pets to play, and a covered area provides bike storage for guests who’d like to explore the stunning surrounding countryside on two wheels.

Location

 

This stylish contemporary bungalow with far-reaching sea views is ideally located in central Criccieth, and is well placed for exploring both Eryri and Pen Llyn.

Criccieth itself is a charming coastal town with a lot to offer, well known for its famous ruined castle, which sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea, and its long, pebbly beach. Lazy days can be easily whiled away exploring the ramparts, meandering along the seafront and browsing the shops and galleries that line the high street. You’ll find plenty of cafes where you can enjoy a sweet treat, and no shortage of places to eat out with restaurants including Poachers and Spice Bank on the high street, and Dylan’s on the seafront. A path leads from the garden of Yr Awel directly down to the town centre, making it a very easy walk to the various cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops, and of course, the beach.

Just outside Criccieth the village of Llanystumdwy offers some lovely walking routes and is home to the Dwyfor Rabbit Farm, much loved by generations of visitors and locals alike. Other nearby attractions include Dragon Raiders Activity Park, a family-friendly park which offers quad biking, paintballing and Segway trails; Glasfryn Park which offers a range of indoor and outdoor activities including ten-pin bowling, archery and go-karting along with an aquapark, and for adrenaline junkies Zip World Llechwedd is approximately a half hour drive, enjoy the thrilling Titan zip line, take the Deep Mine Tour or enjoy some subterranean fun with Bounce Below and underground golf.

In Porthmadog, around a 10 minute drive from Yr Awel, you’ll find more independent shops, such as the fantastic Glosters, which stocks a wide range of handmade ceramics and crafts from local artisans, and the Portmeirion shop which includes a first floor cafe with window tables providing a great spot to watch the world go by. Visit the Purple Moose Brewery, head to the whimsical world of Portmeirion village or jump on the Welsh Highland or Ffestiniog railways and enjoy a ride through the stunning surrounding landscape.

In the opposite direction you’ll find the spectacular natural beauty of Pen Llyn with around 100 miles of beautiful coastline and a wealth of charming villages and unspoilt countryside, it’s an outdoor lover's dream. Head to the northern coast to explore hidden coves and rugged landscape, or to the southern coast for long, sheltered sandy beaches. Cyclists, walkers and watersports enthusiasts will never tire of this lovely part of Wales.

The accommodation was just perfect; spacious, immaculate in every respect and with expansive views from the snow covered mountains to the castle and beyond. Located just a short walk away from the Main Street and in a very quiet position.
Our communication with owner Frances was excellent, particularly as extreme Winter weather conditions in the lead up to our arrival were making travel more challenging so updates on local conditions proved invaluable.
Genuinely one of the best places weā€™ve stayed in. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic weekend staying at Yr-Awel. The property is lovely and has a beautiful view! It was very clean when we arrived and very cosy. We were sent a lovely welcome message from our hosts prior to arrival. The beds were really comfy and the property had everything we needed for our stay. I could not suggest any improvements, it was perfect! We will hopefully be back again soon! Thanks for a lovely stay

Really lovely property in a perfect location for exploring Criccieth and the surrounding areas.
Modern, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return again.

WOW, what accommodation Yr-Awel is. It felt so homely and comfortable right from the off.
Love the setting, quite cul-de-sac set just up the hill a bit which gives it great views over the town.
We had beautiful weather and outside decking and sitting area was perfect.
Short walk to town no problem.
Standard of fittings and fixtures really good and layout really worked for us. Big hall area ideal for our dog crate, coats boots etc often lacking in accommodation.
Main on-suite room has so much natural light and views with door to sitting area perfect for morning brew before planning the day.
Main open plan living area is so good keeps everyone together really works and that view through huge picture window and doors.
Think you can truthfully say, we loved everything about this place. We will be back!!

Excellent cottage. Recently renovated. 10 min walk to the beach. Would recommend.

We all had a lovely, relaxing stay at Yr-Awel – a perfect bungalow for my family (including my elderly parents who have mobility issues). All the rooms were just as expected from the photos – clean, comfortable and very welcoming. The house is good size, with fantastic views over the bay. We could even see Criccieth Castle through the trees (which had not yet got their leaves, with it being March) and it was great to see it lit up at night time. The only issue that we think worth mentioning is that there is a couple of steps down from the quite steep driveway, that we were not expecting, but we managed them between us. We most certainly will be back.
