“The house 'Pengolwyg' was the perfect size for our family gathering of 8Adults and 3 children.”

Lovely sea views from the windows, perfect spot in Criccieth to walk to everywhere. Our family of 3 generations had a great time, most bedrooms ensuite with extra bathroom downstairs, and extra shower room on the first floor. We didn't want to leave, we all enjoyed the weekend very much. A meal at Dylon's on the sea front one night, and a Special Celebration on the Sunday afternoon in the Hotel Portmeirion Restaurant for my Husband's 60th Birthday too! We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay ...

“The property was not cleaned on our arrival very well and this was a disappointment”

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I am really sorry that you felt that the house was not cleaned thoroughly to a standard you expected. If you had let us know of your disappointment when you arrived we would have immediately organised to come and resolve any outstanding issues that hadn't been dealt with during the clean that took place that day.

Mr Handford December 2019

“A party of 8 members of Handford/Jenkins/Dillow families stayed at Pengolwg during 21st - 28th December 2019 and all had nothing but praise and admiration for it .”

full marks to Sykes/Menai and owner Mrs Hughes for the presentation of this wonderful house , it was clean as a whistle , not a thing out of place and looked fantastic with its big , decorated Christmas Tree with fairy lights everywhere , even in the garden and rear porch , a real treat that was appreciated by all . i understand Pengolwg was originally named Brynawelon and the family home of former Chancellor of the Exchequer and Prime Minister David Lloyd George and his daughter Megan who was Wales' first female MP , the name was changed to Pengolwg when the "new" Brynawelon was built in c.1911 which is now a Nursing Home and where a plaque to commemorate her life has recently been erected , but being born in 1902 , Megan spent her early years in the "old" Brynawelon years before the "new" was even built !!! A house so full of character and part of such cherished Welsh history we all felt privileged to have stayed there. History apart this is a beautiful house in its own right , sympathetically updated , its bright , airy and modern with big comfortable rooms having everything you could possibly need , the kitchen is fully equipped with electric ceramic hob/electric oven (but not fan) and a bright red gas Aga !! huge selection of glasses/plates etc with v.good quality pans/frying pans (not cheap & nasty ones) a bay fronted window with a round table & 4 chairs proved popular for breakfasts , this opened on to a Dining Room with a bay fronted window overlooking Criccieth Bay and the castle ..... sublime !! across the hallway is the large and comfortable Lounge with another bay fronted window overlooking Criccieth Bay and the castle. the first floor comprises 3 large bedrooms , the front two of which (both en-suite) have fantastic vista's over the Bay , the two second floor bedrooms also have that view !!! Everyone in our party loved the property, its perfectly placed opposite the beach and the little shops of Criccieth , we had a fantastic time and were truly sad to leave !!!

“We have had a few lovely holidays at this lovely house and it is perfect for large families.”

The view is outstanding. We love Criccieth and have been coming here for the past six years in holiday homes. We hope to continue as it is the perfect place to relax and spend time with family. Pengolwg is very spacious indeed and has everything you could want for a lovely holiday.
Ms Richardson June 2019

“Pengolwg is a large family house that is well-appointed but also very comfortable.”

We felt very much at home there. It has the most amazing views - particularly from the bay windowed downstairs and upstairs rooms. It was wonderful to wake to the wonderful views of the sea and castle and in the early evening we even saw dolphins or porpoises out in the bay. The arrangement of bedroom accommodation across two floors and the generous bathroom allocation was ideal for our three generation family group (including 4 children age 8 mths to 4yrs). We had a wonderful holiday!
Mr Powell May 2019

“We felt completely at ease the minute we walked through the door.”

Everything was just as it said it would be, and we very quickly made ourselves at home. The views were outstanding from all areas and the children had great fun exploring all the rooms. All in all a brilliant, restful holiday enjoyed by everyone. Thank you.,
“Excellent house with great views”
Richard Monk

“Silly things did not work or were broken and the road / train noise was ...”

Silly things did not work or were broken and the road / train noise was horrendous - not in details I have given an extra star as the house inside was lovely and leaving beach towels was a lovely touch although we didn't use them as we took our own as no other accommodation has left beach towels
William Watkins

“Fantastic accommodation with superb views of the Bay”
Alison Farrow

“Fabulous rooms, most en suite.”

Amazing views. Only downside was garden wasn’t secure for dogs and bbq not ready for use. It probably is now though
Terrence Wookey

“A splendid spacious property that suited the needs of our extended family perfectly.”

Good parking and close proximity to a beach, the granchildren loved it. An ideal base to explore the North Wales coast and national parks.
Fred Cook

Mike Wing

The property

This holiday house has a fantastic history.

Once home of the Prime Minister David Lloyd George, Pengolwg means "lookout point" and it was from this spot that the women of Criccieth would stand to look out for their loved ones returning from sea on the tall ships!

"Wonderfully high ceilings, roaring log burners, carpets that will eat your feet and views across the sea, both castles and the rolling welsh coastline from almost every window help this wonderfully stylish house set itself apart from the others." Just an easy walk to Criccieth town centre which is laden with pubs, shops, restaurants and cafe's, on your way to or from the beach.

A brilliant central hub for exploring all of the Llyn Peninsula as well as having Snowdonia right behind you.

This house is just right to relax in after a day of adventure, or equally luxurious to spend the days in reading a book in front of the fire and playing board games.
