Create unforgettable memories with your loved ones at this gorgeous stone-built cottage just 1 mile from Criccieth. Sleeping six people across three bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, it’s ideal for families or groups of friends looking for a traditional retreat to call home while they explore the Welsh countryside with their pups in tow. Take a leisurely stroll along Castle Beach, which is tucked away under the ruins of the 13th-century Criccieth Castle, and in the evening, come home to your cottage’s garden to share a relaxing al fresco dinner while your pups play freely in the enclosed space.
Pull up in your private parking area (there’s room for two cars) and step inside your traditional cottage. A welcoming hall leads you to a beautiful lounge with high, vaulted ceilings and a central wood burner set in a stone chimney. Take a moment to appreciate the eclectic decor before heading to the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner area to cook up a storm. Get everyone together to eat around the large dining table, or head out into the garden to dine alfresco. Afterwards, challenge your loved ones to a game of darts in the games room, which you’ll find in the garden, or head back to the lounge to relax by the wood burner while your pups sleep at your feet. At the end of the day, retreat to the stylish double bedroom on the ground floor, which has its own en-suite shower room, or head upstairs, where you’ll find a smart twin bedroom that leads to a double with skylights set in the sloping beamed ceilings. A stylish ground-floor bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout.
Let your pups run free on the beach at Morfa Bychan (8 miles), or head into Snowdonia National Park (15 miles), where you’ll find plenty of dog-friendly trails to explore.
