About this property
Ty Glyn is a holiday cottage in Criccieth, on the Llyn Peninsula, that commands the most incredible sea views! It has been finished with flair and care to create a contemporary, spacious but welcoming holiday cottage. Ty Glyn makes the most of the incredible sea views by having the bedrooms downstairs and the open plan living space upstairs.
You are welcomed into a spacious hallway that has lots of storage. Stairs take you up to the amazing open living area that includes the kitchen, dining & sitting areas. Underfloor heating in here keeps things cosy in the colder months.
The sitting area is spacious and has floor to ceiling windows and doors that lead out onto the veranda. Through these and on the veranda you can take in beautiful and ever-changing sea views! There’s a cosy corner sofa, a Smart TV and DVD player. You can also sign in to your own Netflix and Amazon accounts.
The contemporary kitchen has all you need for cooking up tasty meals - a micro-grill, electric hob and oven with exterior fan, 5 shelf fridge and three drawer freezer, dishwasher, washer, dryer, iron and ironing board. The breakfast bar is ideal for snacks, or your morning cuppa and croissant!
Back to the ground floor now! You’ll find two bathrooms. One en-suite with loo, wash hand basin and shower. There’s also the family bathroom with integral wash hand basin with drawers, loo, bath and shower over.
The two bedrooms are spacious and have quality furnishings, fluffy towels and gorgeous linen. The relaxing master bedroom has a king sized bed sea views, a TV and lots of storage. The second bedroom also has a king sized bed. An additional day bed can be made up by prior request.
The gorgeous balcony comprises your outside space. It has toughened glass sides which keeps the sea breezes at bay so you can enjoy uninterrupted sea views over Cardigan Bay. We especially recommend sitting out here with a glass of wine and soaking up the sunsets. There is parking for two cars outside the holiday cottage but there is a car park to the front of the house if you need it.
From Ty Glyn you can walk along the promenade into the centre of Criccieth. Here you’ll find a castle, great places to eat and drink including good old ice cream and fish and chips! You can also browse around the shops on the high street or head to the coastal path which is almost on your doorstep. From this fabulous holiday cottage you could explore beaches and attractions and have experiences not just on the Llyn Peninsula, but into Snowdonia and its majestic mountains, too! A happy family holiday by the seaside in North Wales is assured at Ty Glyn.
Often described as the 'Pearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia’, this delightful seaside town is situated just 5 miles from Porthmadog. The town’s 13th century castle perches majestically on a rocky outcrop, dominating the skyline and offering superb views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. Watersports enthusiasts will be delighted by the two beaches, whilst walkers and bikers are spoilt for choice by the proximity of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Stroll along the beaches, watch porpoises playing in the surf, or relax in the various pubs, restaurants and tea rooms, sampling the famous Cadwalader’s ice cream. Further afield, attractions such as Portmeirion’s wonderful Italianate gardens, the Ffestiniog railway in Porthmadog, Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle and the beautiful beaches and renowned golf courses of the Llyn Peninsula are all within an easy drive.

Bedrooms are spacious and airy. The upstairs open plan living area is great with patio doors opening onto the balcony. The balcony is ideal for a relaxing drink after a day's exploring, taking in the view over the bay, with Criccieth Castle one way and Black Rock Sands the other.

Very well equipped, clean and comfortable property. Parking for two cars very useful. As two single travellers we particularly liked having a double bed each and separate bathroom facilities. Local eating facilities useful.

Kitchen floor also needs some attention as it creaks badly. These are things that need dealing with as they will only get worse,which is a shame for a fabulous property in an amazing spot.
