Swn Y GwyntCriccieth, Llŷn Peninsula

Swn Y Gwynt is all about the setting! Sweeping views across Cardigan Bay with the back drop of mountains and over to Harlech Castle. This lovely holiday cottage is owned by a Dutch family who have refurbished it to a high standard whilst retaining the original charm.

"A superbly located cottage, fantastic views, well equipped and excellent facilities nearby to keep you entertained and amused!"

The house is an 'upside down' house, making the most of the spectacular sea views. The open plan sitting room is surrounded by a balcony - open the door and bring the outside in and while away the hours watching the sun setting over the bay.

Beautiful gardens surround the house where you can relax and enjoy the peace and scenery from the raised seating area. The sea views at the front and the open fields all around make this a wonderful place to relax with friends or family.

It is so convenient as you can pop down to the beach and the town of Criccieth for a bit of hustle and bustle. You can wander around the quirky shops, dine out in one of the restaurants - we like Tir a Mor - or have an evening pint in the pub. Take a night off from cooking and try the fish and chips - they are excellent!

A small and welcoming hall with well stocked bookcase for your holiday reading!

We love this room! The open plan sitting / dining room is a lovely sociable family room with large windows and the patio doors onto the balcony and outside sun room make it the perfect place to sip wine whilst watching the sunset over the bay. A light, spacious room with gorgeous views and lovely homely touches including a selection of children's games stored in the antique crib. Flatscreen TV & DVD, comfy fern green sofas and chairs and an open fireplace, ideal for those real fires on blustery winter evenings.

The dining area is bright and cheerful and is situated at one end of the sitting room conveniently next to the kitchen.

Fully equipped kitchen with views of the surrounding countryside has a large fridge, microwave, dishwasher, electric oven, combination microwave cooker, electric hob & extractor hood. For the chef of the party there are plenty of cookery books for you to enjoy!

There is a separate small utility room with a second fridge, washing machine and freezer.

With loo & wash hand basin.

On the ground floor there are 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Bedroom 1 - Light and airy bedroom with double bed, built in wardrobes and fabulous sea views.

Bedroom 2 - Another double bedroom with stunning views

Bedroom 3 - Twin bedroom with two single beds and countryside views

The funky retro style family bathroom has a wash hand basin, bidet, jacuzzi bath and separate shower with grab rails and seat for the less mobile.

Parking for 2 cars. Lovely lawned garden on different levels with sea views. Patio area at the side of the house with seating and built in area for using portable BBQ's (bring your own disposable BBQ). Views over open countryside and over the rooftops to the sea and Cardigan Bay beyond.

The gardens are on different levels in parts and there is a balcony with railings on the first floor from the sitting room so may not be ideal for the very young or elderly and care must be taken. The drive is fairly steep and narrow when reversing.
