Set in a prime position in the seaside town of Criccieth in Gwynedd is this homely, detached, holiday home, Cwm Eilir. With views over to two castles from the front garden, Criccieth and Harlech, and two sitting rooms, this spacious home is ideal for a gathering of family or friends. On arrival at the property, roadside parking greets you, before making your way up the stairs to enter the property. Step into the hallway, where on your left you can find the smaller of two sitting rooms, ideal if you want to break away from the group and take in the views, and further along the second sitting room, home to a toasty woodburning stove. From here, the dining room provides you with a place to plan your itinerary before dinner is served. The chef of the group can whip up a delicious meal in the kitchen, which hosts an electric oven and hob, before taking advantage of the dishwasher to help with the cleanup. After a busy day and a home-cooked meal, head upstairs for some rest; a king-size and a double room offer handy en-suite shower rooms, while another king-size and a single are served by a bathroom, so everyone has somewhere to prepare for the day ahead! Explore your surroundings with a stroll down to the beach, where you can see Castell Criccieth up-close, before stopping for a spot to eat at the popular Dylan’s Restaurant. The town centre is also within walking distance and is filled with plenty of pubs and eateries, as well as a museum, ice cream parlours and a golf club for any avid golfers in your party. The unique, Italianate village of Portmeirion is reachable by car and well worth the visit for those fascinated by striking architecture and quaint boutiques. For a historic day out, the coastal town of Caernarfon, known for its magnificent castle is within reach, while the glorious Snowdonia National Park makes the perfect day out for its wealth of outdoor activities and picture-perfect scenery. Bring your loved ones for a seaside break at Cwm Eilir.

Criccieth, known as the "Pearl of Wales on the coast of Snowdonia," is a charming seaside resort 5 miles from Porthmadog. The town's 13th-century castle towers over Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains on a rocky outcrop. The two beaches are perfect for watersports, and Snowdonia National Park is nearby for hikers and cyclists. Walk along the beaches, see porpoises in the surf, or relax in bars, restaurants, and tea rooms with Cadwalader's ice cream.
