Description

STS Grade 4

This lovingly restored Welsh cottage is of high quality and is guaranteed to be warm, inviting and extremely comfortable. Situated in the village of Chwilog, about a 10 minute drive from the ever-popular seaside village of Criccieth and roughly the same distance to Pwllheli. Criccieth (4 miles) is a pleasant coastal village, situated only 5 mls from the Snowdonia National Park, whilst being on the edge of the Llyn Peninsula, it's rolling green countryside stretches towards Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island). Also close by is Nefyn, famous for its 18 hole golf course on a peninsula with dramatic coastal views. Chwilog is a small village with a great local butcher and a lovely local pub "Y Madryn" which recently won the Best Pub in Wales award at Welsh Countryside Alliance Awards. There's more great food and a pint in the Feathers, Llanstymdwy (4 mls) or in one of the pubs in Criccieth. Just over a mile away is a long, sweeping beach where the Afonwen river meets the Cardigan bay. Peaceful walks await you here.

This single storey property is ideal for couples wanting to visit the Llyn Peninsula or Snowdonia National Park whilst staying in a quiet location with a short walk to an evening meal - this cottage is very calming and will make you feel refreshed.

Guest Comments:
ER (September 2023):
Excellent "We had a lovely stay here - it was really handy having all of the rooms on the ground floor and having a good amount of floor space as this was great from an accessibility perspective. There is a lovely big garden at the front of the property which catches the sunshine which was nice. It is ideal for two people for a cosy weekend away as it is a 5-10 minute drive from the beautiful beaches at Criccieth and 40 mins drive from Mt. Snowden. Thank you for having us!"
IH (September 2023): Excellent "Great location for exploring the Llyn Peninsula and doing hikes along the North Wales coast path. Well equipped kitchen, spacious lounge, good shower to freshen up at the end of the day. The owner of the cottage was very friendly and helpful. Overall a great place to stay."

The barn was converted to one self-catering cottage. Approach is from a minor road down a private tarmac drive (no gate) to a parking area sufficient for three/four cars <10m from the front door. There is a tarmac and slab pathway running from the car park to the front door, providing level access.

This is all on the ground floor, level throughout, with doorways of width approx. 760mm. 15cm step up to the front door. (Can be seen in picture).

The bedroom and shower room open off the hallway. Lighting is good, with bedside lights, centre lights and dressing table light. Shower has a 15cm step into it with no grab handles.

The electric sockets in the kitchen are at worktop level. There is plenty of additional lighting in sitting room, which is open plan off the kitchen. The television has a remote control. There is no phone.
