“Lovely cottage, with amazing views of the sea and mountains in a beautiful part of the British Isles, there's so much to do for tourists that we couldn't fit everything in the week we were there.”

The cottage was very spacious, comfortable and had all the things we needed. Only thing that could've been improved for the cottage would be a 2nd bathroom, the cottage can sleep up to 8, but waiting for everyone to get ready in the morning due to a single bathroom did delay us leaving for all the wonderful tourist attractions.

“Lovely feel to this charming house.”

Very much , home from home. Stunning views from all rooms. Very comfortable beds. Convenient spot for exploring Portmadog and the Lleyn. I could imagine living there, enjoying the seasons with the open fires plus the central heating. The changing views of the coastline and the friendly local people made it a relaxing Summer break.
Mrs Baker June 2019

“The accommodation was above expectations with every room having a sea view.”

We were there to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday and so the fact there was a stairlift in situ and an adapted bathroom was an added bonus.
Mrs Jones June 2019

“Lovely, comfortable house that has everything you need when used as a base for visiting North Wales.”

The best thing about this house are the wonderful views of the sea and the castle from most of the windows, and it is within walking distance of shops, restaurants and the sea front.
“Fantastic sea views when mist lifted , comfy beds , well equipped , very clean .”

Negatives parking bit difficult with a large vehicle, needed coal fire to boost heating in lounge but would return.

“Everything that you could want was available and it was very spacious and comfortable.”

“Lovely House and location”

“A very good position, great outlook and good quality property.”

Ideal for large family holidays. Well supplied with all we needed except a sharp kitchen knife but holiday lets never have them. All joking apart we loved the house and setting.

“Lovely house - suited us perfectly.”

baby well catered for with cot and bedding and thoughtfully some toys. Venue ideal - lovely area to sit outside. Accommodation great - very well equipped. Bed linen and towels etc all faultless. Utility room useful. Only slight criticism would be that we felt that a bath - either in the existing bathroom or in new bathroom - would be a great addition. We had a really good holiday - special thanks for sunshine !

“Great comfortable, well equipped property with great views with just a few couple of small issues that prevent the 5th star – the garden is small and steeply sloped and not great for playing football with the dog and to get to the sea front on foot you must cross the very busy A497 which has no crossing points close to the property.”

We knew about both issues before we booked as we have used Haul A Gwynt before and will not deter us from booking again in the future.
“Fantastic views across the bay and of two castles.”

Well equipped house with spacious rooms.
“The cottage was well equipped and is in a beautiful location with fantastic views”
Lynn Arnold

“It was very homely plenty of space loads of electrical things lovely view from the cottage”

“Excellent property in Criccieth which is a very good location.”
“Excellent location.”

House maybe a bit dated but that was reflected in a very reasonable price.

The property

Standing in the most fantastic location, Haul A Gwynt (translated means Sun & Wind) enjoys breathtaking views along the coastline of North Wales, Criccieth Castle and the mountains beyond. Amazing views, cosy open fire, beautiful gardens and only a short stroll into the town of Criccieth with its beautiful beach, famous ice cream parlour, independent shops and lovely restaurants make this a popular holiday house all year round! "Ideally situated overlooking the pretty town of Criccieth with uninterrupted views over the beach and Cardigan Bay, this spacious family home has been a favourite with Menai Holidays guests for many years." The restaurants, pubs and cafes serve good food using fresh local produce, and there are interesting individual shops, and a great delicatessen.

The Idris Cafe is the best bread shop for miles, with wonderful chocolate eclairs! A short drive takes you to Porthmadog and the Italianate village at Portmeirion, the Welsh Highland Railway and on into Snowdonia.

Travelling in the opposite direction, you will arrive at Pwllheli, a busy marina town and terminus for the mainline rail link to Shrewsbury.

Criccieth also has a railway station - a great way for extra guests to arrive.

Further along this beautiful coastline are Llanbedrog and the ever-popular Abersoch.

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.
