About this property
This wonderfully appointed, semi-detached period residence sits within generous gardens in the village of Chwilog, on the scenic Llyn Peninsula. Gwynle is believed to date back to the late 1800’s when it was once a Captain’s residence; now it has been lovingly restored while maintaining many period features to keep in touch with character and age. Set over three floors; on the ground-floor you will enter into a small hallway where you can leave your boots and jackets behind before finding the sitting room, complete with two sumptuous sofas and a woodburning stove, plus a TV for enjoying cosy movie nights. Give the chef of the group some space as they get acquainted in the open-plan bespoke kitchen/diner, home to a wealth of integrated appliances and a large centre island, this is a wonderful space to show off your culinary skills. Continue through to the conservatory where you can settle down and overlook the garden or lose yourself in a good read. As your eyes grow heavy, move upstairs to catch some rest in the bedrooms; the first-floor plays host to two refreshing doubles, one with distant sea views and the other overlooking the garden, along with a pretty twin which is perfect for children, and served by a beautiful bathroom with freestanding bath and a large walk-in shower. Continue to the second-floor to find the fourth bedroom, offering another double bed, sitting area with a window overlooking the garden. Up here there is also a second bathroom with walk-in shower. The rear garden is very generous in size with patio seating area and summer house, surrounded by an abundance of mature plants, trees and shrubs, so you can enjoy alfresco dining in an idyllic setting, while to the front there is a small lawned area and off-road parking for four cars in a shared driveway. The village of Chwilog is home to a welcoming pub, Y Madrynn, which offers tasty local ales and home-cooked meals, ideal for those evenings when you don’t feel like cooking. For a greater choice of amenities, the town of Criccieth is four miles away, offering an impressive 13th-century castle which provides stunning views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia Mountains. Alternatively, head a little further afield to Porthmadog, home to a striking marina and is the terminus for the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Steam Railway, a scenic train journey that cuts through the glorious landscapes of Snowdonia. With plenty to enjoy in this exciting part of Wales, consider Gwynle for a memorable getaway, whatever time of year.
Situated near the ever-popular Snowdonia National Park and set on the scenic Llyn Peninsula, is the lovely little village of Chwilog. The charming village is home to a Post Office, a butchers, and the welcoming Y Madryn pub where you can sample the local ales and grab a tasty bite to eat, followed by a walk along The Afon Wen which runs through the village.

The rooms are all large and comfortable and the games room was a great addition. The location is great too you are only minutes away from plenty of beautiful places to explore. I would strongly recommend the pub down the road for a meal. The only downside for us was the cleanliness of the property I spent the first evening cleaning as there were cobwebs and dust everywhere. The kitchen was filthy and clearly had not been cleaned at all. And we were very disappointed that the garden had not been done before we arrived so the grass was too long for the children to play out in. It is also worth noting that the garden is not enclosed so if you are taking a dog that is likely to escape you would need to keep them on a lead. All in all we had a fantastic week here despite the weather. If those little things were addressed it would be a 5 star review. Thank you very much for a great holiday.
