Top 5 Holiday Cottages in Criccieth

A lovely coastal village with ocean rollers, mountain views, and a medieval castle to watch over it. Say hello to our top 5 holiday cottages in Criccieth.

Criccieth lies at the gateway to Pen Llŷn (the Llŷn Peninsula), on the shores of Cardigan Bay. On the original Victorian steam train line to North Wales, it has long been a destination for families looking to get away from it all. 

It’s an easy-living town that has retained all of its old school charm. Think rock pooling, castle ramparts, delicious fish and chips and ice cream. The town sits on the Wales coast path, and there are plenty of quiet trails running out of the town for walking and cycling. 

You’ll find traditional Welsh tearooms, plenty of great places to eat out, independent shops and some wonderfully browsable galleries and antiques. There’s even a traditional Welsh clog maker who still has his workshop in the town. 

Criccieth is perfectly placed for exploring this part of North Wales, with Porthmadog, Pwllheli, and Abersoch all within a short drive.
