About this property
Tucked away on the quiet, leafy outskirts of Criccieth, a quaint, coastal town in Gwynedd, North Wales, lies this charming, two-bedroom, stable conversion, Stabal Bach. Boasting off-road parking for two cars, an enclosed, furnished garden, and superb views of surrounding, tranquil woodland, this delightful property welcomes a family of four or a group of sharing friends for a relaxing, self-catered stay near the magnificent setting of the Eryri National Park. Park up, unpack, and make yourself fully at home in your lovely new lodgings, where you’ll find a well-presented, open-plan living space on the first-floor of the home, housing a fully-equipped kitchen where the chosen chef can find all the appliances they’ll need to prepare a delicious, home-cooked dinner. Savour your feasts in the dining area, or even alfresco in the garden on the outdoor furniture, before you head to relax and unwind on the sofa in the sitting area as you enjoy a film on the Smart TV by the warmth of the electric fire. As day rolls into night, be sure to refresh with a rejuvenating shower before you finally settle down for a much-needed rest in one of the two inviting, ground-floor bedrooms. In the morning, make a cup of coffee and head out to the balcony, where you can soak in your panoramic setting as you listen to the birds sing amongst the shrubbery. When you’re ready, slip on your shoes and head out to explore what your local area has to offer. A walk into Criccieth will bring you to the SPAR and NISA convenience stores, where you can stock up on homely essentials, whilst a traditional pub lunch to fuel your adventures can be had at the Bryn Hir Arms and the Prince Of Wales. Whilst you’re in town, grab an ice cream from the famous Cadwaladers before you enjoy a peaceful stroll along the Criccieth Esplanade and Criccieth Beach, and even experience a taste of history at the ancient setting of Criccieth Castle. If you’re still peckish, stop by the Castle Fish & Chip Shop on your way back to your lovely lodgings. Whatever you do during your next stay in Criccieth, do it from the fabulous base of Stabal Bach.
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.

We felt really at home there. The owner called and asked if everything was okay and did we need anything. Thatâs the first time this has happened and it was great that the owner cared enough about our comfort. The only thing that bothered us was the step into the property and the step out onto the balcony. Iâm very mobile and still found it difficult to manoeuvre up and down. These steps need to made safer as soon as possible please.

Lovely peaceful location, well equipped and warm with comfortable beds and great shower (so important!) and suitable for 4 adults. Good base for visiting the peninsula and Eryri national park. Short walk into town - great roast dinner at the Prince of Wales. We were lucky with the weather - for October- so could explore the fantastic beaches nearby. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back.
