In the morning, kickstart your itinerary along the coast at Marine or Criccieth West Beach, a lovely spot to bask in the sun’s rays, paddle the shores or delight in traditional fish and chips. From here, you can also explore Criccieth Castle or take advantage of a great variety of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and cafes to stock up on the self-catering essentials or treat your partner to a hearty pub lunch and refreshing beverage. Venturing into the Snowdonia National Park, uncover a whole host of hidden treasures, including Black Rock Sands , see your surroundings from a great height at Zip World Llechwedd or challenge yourself to an arduous hike up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) or take a trip on the Welsh Highland Railway.

This charming beach town, sometimes referred to as the "Pearl of Wales on the coasts of Snowdonia," is located only 5 miles from Porthmadog. The town's castle, which dates back to the 13th century, towers over the surrounding landscape, dominating the skyline and providing spectacular views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. The two beaches will be a delight for anyone who enjoy water sports, and the close proximity to the stunning Snowdonia National Park will leave hikers and bikers with plenty of options. Take a leisurely stroll along the beaches, observe porpoises playing in the surf, or unwind in one of the many taverns, restaurants, or tea rooms while enjoying some of the renowned Cadwalader's ice cream. Other nearby attractions include the gorgeous Italianate gardens at Portmeirion, the Ffestiniog railway in Porthmadog, Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle, and the Llyn Peninsula's world-class beaches and golf facilities.

Furnishings and fittings to top standard and well equipped with modern appliances. In ideal location for a dog friendly beach (just across the road) Ideal location for walking around Criccieth and along the coast path. We had a lovely autumnal stay. Only suggestion would be for coat hooks in hallway and towel rail in kitchen

Although I had a slight issue with no hot water on my first day, Chrissie, the owner, dealt with it immediately and it was resolved very quickly. She was very accommodating and went out of her way to make sure that I was happy with everything. My little dog and I enjoyed our stay very much and hope to return in the future.

Lovely bathroom and very comfortable huge bed. Most kind to provide dog bowl, bed, toys and biscuits. Also very conveniently situated for taking our dog out, as plenty of grassy areas a few yards away, and only a short walk into town. We are definitely hoping to return next year, as we really enjoyed staying at the Nook.
