Lovely sized family house with a large well kept garden. Excellent location for stay home days to visit the castle and beach or day trips out to Portmeirion, Sygun Copper Mines, walking in Snowdonia or on the Coastal Route and the Ffestiniog Railway. My daughter even organised a Kayak trip from Trefor Beach

Thank you for your comments we will forward them to the owner today.
Bryn Gwalia was perfectly placed. The property has views out of the windows of criccieth castle and the beaches are a 5 min walk away.We were blessed too to see dolphins in Treath beach ( by lifeboat hut) in criccieth!! What a treat that was.The house was beautifully clean & presented very well. There are 2 large fridges and a moderate sized freezer for storing small essentials.The beds are firm & en-suite to 2 double rooms were adequate & clean too. Toilet roll supplied.The garden was spacious, but have some nasty hawthorn trailing in garden which 1 of our grandchildren cut their knee on, which bled quite nasty. And also the outside furniture (benches) were rotten and were too unsafe to enjoy sitting on in the sunshine.The driveway into the property takes a very sharp turn left. Be aware of this, as a neighbour parks right on that left hand turn, which makes it extremely narrow.All in all this was a super setting, with stunning views and we found it to be a very quiet area, very peaceful as there is no through traffic on the sea front.We would definitely come again. Thankyou for making our family holiday a memorable one.

Thank you for your detailed and informative review, we are delighted that the whole family enjoyed their stay.
We've stayed at this property twice now. The location is so convenient, two minutes from the beach and shops and about the same from the playground. It's a large property with comfortable beds and lovely bed linen, three large showers and a huge bath. There is a large garden which the children loved playing in. The utility room is large with a separate tumble dryer and washing machine. However we won't be booking for next year and have found an alternative property in Criccieth. Firstly parking and access - the parking is enough for three cars and is at the rear of the property, but to get to this you have to go up a side road and then a gravelled track. Admittedly we have a large vehicle but on several occasions we couldn't get to the house without asking a resident in the side road to move their car which was met with a very unpleasant attitude. To get out we had to try and reverse down the track past all the parked cars. The house itself is lovely but could do with a bit of attention, some of the windows don't shut properly and the locks on some of the doors and one of the ensuites did not work. Lack of knives in the kitchen. None of them huge issues but the parking was too much of a stress for us.

From the Owner:- We also have a large car and have not experienced problems parking at the rear of the property but acknowledge that access can be tight for very large cars. The parking at the rear of the property is provided for convenience as sometimes it is difficult to find a parking spot very close to the front of the property at peak times. The windows do shut properly and there are plenty of knives in the kitchen.
Comfortable house in good location.
If you've ever visited a holiday cottage before, you most likely have seen a guestbook in the property for guests to leave a review for others when they arrive. Each of the following comments was lovingly left by people just like you in the guestbook left at Bryn Gwalia.
Perfect! We visit Criccieth every year (for the past 18 years) and have stayed in various different accommodation types. This house is perfect for a large group - or if you want the luxury of a big newly renovated house with all mod cons. The location is great for exploring all of Criccieth and as a base to use public transport (trains and bus) farther afield. There's plenty of parking space at the rear of the building for car users which means you can get to explore more of Gwynedd. The house is spotlessly clean. Well decorated and maintained. Freeview TV, wifi, dishwasher, washer, dryer, good oven, 2 X fridges, 2 X freezers, utility room. TVs in several of the bedrooms. Conservatory looking out over wonderful garden with 2 fruit trees. Being here in Autumn is still worth the trip as there's much to do and the area is beautiful all year round. The garden must be even more amazing in summer.
Great house & garden. Enjoyed spending time in the conservatory. Ideal location for exploring the area. Can recommend the fish & chip shop round the corner & bacon steaks from the butcher on the High Street. Saw a seal on our last beach walk.
Beautiful house. Lovely garden.
This lovely holiday house is in a really good location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Criccieth.
We had a wonderful stay in CricciethÃÂ with a greatÃÂ mix of strong winds, rain and brilliant sunshine.
