Bwthyn Y Mor

About this property

Bwthyn Y Mor is a charming stone cottage tucked away in the seaside town of Criccieth, Gwynedd. With the beach just a short stroll away, this welcoming retreat is well suited to families and friends looking to explore the coastline and the spectacular landscapes of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). Arriving in Criccieth, park nearby and make your way towards the cottage, where the attractive stone façade hints at the property's heritage and charm. Step through the front door and straight into the tiled kitchen, a bright and practical space finished with wooden worktops and crisp white fittings. Whether you're brewing a morning coffee before heading to the beach or preparing ingredients for supper, everything you need is close at hand.

Just off the kitchen is a handy cloakroom, ideal for freshening up after a day spent by the coast. A step leads through to the living and dining room, where exposed stonework, ceiling beams, and wooden flooring create plenty of character. Sink into the sofa or armchair with your favourite programme on the mounted TV, while the electric log-effect fire glows within the striking stone fireplace. Gather around the dining table for four to plan the next day's adventures over breakfast or settle in for an evening meal after exploring the area. When the day draws to a close, head upstairs to discover two delightful king-size bedrooms, each benefitting from a Velux window that welcomes natural light into the space.

Wake to glimpses of the sky above before starting another day of coastal exploration. Serving the bedrooms is a shower room, where a refreshing shower awaits after walks along the shoreline or afternoons spent discovering North Wales. Outside, the beach, local shops, cafés, and pubs are all within easy walking distance, making it easy to leave the car behind and embrace the relaxed pace of this popular seaside destination. Beyond the town, Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) offers unforgettable days out surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery. Journey through the park aboard the Ffestiniog Railway, take in far-reaching views from Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), or wander the striking landscapes around Cwm Idwal, where rugged peaks and sparkling waters create a memorable setting.

A short drive away, Porthmadog provides plenty to explore, from the bustling harbour and waterfront walks to independent shops and eateries. Nearby Black Rock Sands offers a vast stretch of shoreline for beach days, while the Welsh Highland Railway presents a wonderful way to admire the surrounding countryside from the comfort of a heritage train carriage. The unique village of Portmeirion is also within easy reach and makes for a fascinating visit. Admire its colourful Italian-inspired architecture, stroll through subtropical gardens filled with exotic planting, and uncover hidden pathways that lead to picturesque coastal views across the estuary. Whether you're seeking seaside days, scenic railway journeys, or mountain adventures, Bwthyn Y Mor provides a delightful base for discovering the best of Criccieth, Gwynedd, and beyond.

Often described as the 'Pearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia’, now known as Eryri, 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 Eryri mountains. Watersports enthusiasts will be delighted by the two beaches, whilst walkers and bikers are spoilt for choice by the proximity of the beautiful Eryri 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 and Welsh Highland 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.
