Description

Note: This property sleeps four but is a maximum of 2 adults Bunks suitable for children under 12, (access through main bedroom). Gwel Afon, a wonderful ground-floor accomodation, is located in the lovely community of Llanystumdwy near Criccieth. Gwel Afon is the ideal home for a family of four, as it is situated on the banks of the River Dwyfor, which can be heard from your own front garden. Snowdonia National Park is also nearby. There are two off-street parking spaces and a front patio with chairs for you to enjoy your morning cup of tea amongst tranquil surroundings. Look forward to kicking back with your loved ones on the inviting, leather corner sofa and watching your favourite show on the Smart TV. In the well-equipped kitchen, whip up a delicious meal for four to be served at the dining table or outside in the garden with the soothing murmur of the river. Two well-appointed bedrooms await after a day of exploring: a double with an en-suite shower room, and a bunk room for the kids. You can take a stroll along the river, visit the Amgueddfa Lloyd George Museum, or enjoy a drink at the Tafarn Y Plu bar, which is housed in a Grade II listed structure. In Criccieth you'll find a petrol station stocking the essentials, a magnificent castle with sweeping sea views and two stunning beaches. You can also stop at Dylan's for some fresh seafood. Porthmadog, with its Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, great golf course, and Black Rock Llamas, is just a short drive away. The North Wales Coastal Footpath and the Snowdonia National Park, where you may climb the iconic Snowdon Peak, is also within easy reach, as is the North Wales Coastal Path for further excellent walking and cycling opportunities. Your adventure begins at Gwel Afon.

We enjoyed our stay, lovely village, the apartment was clean & lots of hot water, great shower, nice bedding & towels, the owners left us some wine & snacks which was nice I feel bad saying this but there was a smell of damp, the dehumidifier was running constantly & we emptied it twice a day

We really enjoyed our stay in Llanystumdwy.

The property is ideally located to discover north west Wales. The apartment is well equipped for self catering and has a large off road parking as well as a bus stop in front of the house. The hosts Jason and Joanna are super nice and helpful. We can highly recommend Gwel Afon!

Fell in love with the village.

Very easy to find, nice on-drive parking, very peaceful and quiet area. The apartment is lovely and very well maintained. Cleaned professionally. Thank you for the opportunity to be there! Very short drive from stores, beach, castle. Walking distance from stream, playground.
