Within the property you will find a fantastic contemporary kitchen/diner with lots of home-from-home amenities to help you cook up a storm. The sitting area has comfy sofas with plenty of room to recline beside a woodburning stove and catch up on a good book or enjoy looking at the sea views. There are four tastefully-furnished bedrooms with zip-link beds, all boasting views towards the sea and Criccieth Castle.

Having this holiday property to come home every evening made it all the more perfect. Haul A Gwynt was a real home from home, we felt so comfortable and relaxed there. The hot tub is a wonderful bonus too. We also loved the incredible views across to the castle and out to sea. The property is located a short walk away from Criccieth where we enjoyed the various shops, cafes restaurants and pubs.

We fell in love with this place from the moment we pulled on the driveway! Ample space inside and outside. The owners have been very thoughtful and provided everything you could possibly need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and didn't want to leave! We had the best nights sleep in the most comfortable beds. The local restaurants and cafes are only a short walking distance and all were very good, especially Dylan's! Jan, the owner, was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any queries we had during our stay. Thank you Jan x It was a pleasure to meet you at the end of our stay. We would love to come back in the future !
