    “The house has potential, lovely views and good quality carpets and furniture, crockery and most of the cooking equipment is adequate.”

    There are no trays and very few glasses apart from wine glasses. There was no normal information folder when we arrived, so when the weather and the house became much colder later in the week, we tried but could not switch on the heating/radiators except for once for about 20 minutes and the radiators we felt needed bleeding. The radiator inlet pipe in the first ensuite bedroom is slowly leaking and the shower constantly drips even when turned off. The fittings are limited, such as only one ...

    There are no trays and very few glasses apart from wine glasses. There was no normal information folder when we arrived, so when the weather and the house became much colder later in the week, we tried but could not switch on the heating/radiators except for once for about 20 minutes and the radiators we felt needed bleeding. The radiator inlet pipe in the first ensuite bedroom is slowly leaking and the shower constantly drips even when turned off. The fittings are limited, such as only one table lamp in the large lounge and no other spare table lamps in the house and use of old large low energy bulbs in those in two en-suite bedrooms and lounge, there are no shutting curtains in the large lounge and the bedding and mattress covers do need replacing. Also the elderly microwave and dishwasher with only one working program. Is the electrical equipment “Pat grsted? As you know I regularly have booked both large houses and smaller. The whole house needs a full inspection/clean, a handyman to check everything works properly, appropriate replacements and decorations. I am trying to be encouraging because it could be very good.property.

The property

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.

About the location

CRICCIETH

Porthmadog 5 miles; Portmeirion 8 miles; Abersoch 15 miles.

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