About this property

Criccieth 1.7 miles. Nestled in the small village of Llanystumdwy, near the glorious seaside resort of Criccieth, is this charming stone-fronted terrace cottage, Gyda'r Llif. Set over two storeys and sleeping up to four guests, Gyda'r Llif is an idyllic dwelling for a family or group of friends to explore the beautiful sites of North Wales, with easy access to Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and the colourful village of Portmeirion. As you approach the property, you will find roadside parking available, before unloading your bags and stepping into the delightful cottage. Be welcomed into the homely lounge, with traditional exposed beams and stone walls adding character, and look forward to cosying up with loved ones beside the warmth of the woodburning stove whilst enjoying your favourite film. Cater for the group in the fully-equipped kitchen, which also has a handy dishwasher and washing machine, and enjoy the fruits of your labour around the dining table as you toast to a wonderful holiday. When night falls, guests can travel up to the first floor where there is the option to retire to a King or twin bedroom, each decorated in soothing blue tones reflecting the town's seaside heritage. Completing the first floor is the contemporary shower room, where guests can look forward to freshening up for the day ahead in style. Enjoy a morning coffee and your favourite book at the lovely dining table on the enclosed patio as your canine companion enjoys slumbering in the sun beside you. Guests at Gyda'r Llif can look forward to a variety of things to see and do right on their doorstep in Llanystumdwy; from beautiful woodland walks, taking the children to visit the animals on the sweet Rabbit Farm, enjoying adrenaline-filled fun at the Dragon Raiders Activity Park where there is paintball, quad biking, and Segways on offer, or visiting the neighbouring town of Criccieth's landmark 13th century castle, which stands remarkably overlooking the town. If you can tear yourself away from the seaside charm of Criccieth, just a short drive away you will find the coastal town of Porthmadog, home to a good selection of shops and attractions and a magnificent harbour. Rail enthusiasts will have found their haven at the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, an extensive all-weather interactive railway heritage center and miniature railway. Venture further and make a stop at the charming village of Portmeirion, known for its stunning coastal views and its vibrant colours and architecture. Wander through the Central Piazza explore the lush woodlands, purchase souvenirs and trinkets at the welcoming independent shops, and treat yourself to a delicious meal at Castell Deudraeth. Gyda'r Llif is the perfect home away from home that will leave you wanting to return again and again!

Located just six miles from Porthmadog and ten miles from the charming village of Portmeirion is the charming village of Llanystumdwy near to Criccieth, which is known as the 'Pearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia'. Criccieth is home to a remarkable 13 century castle, which overlooks the town and offers expansive views of Tremadog Bay and the Eryri (Snowdonia) mountains. Walkers and cyclists will be in their element at the variety of beautiful trails, as well as the close proximity of the famous Snowdonia National Park, whilst those who are looking to get out onto the water can enjoy the beautiful beaches.
