  • "Nyth Dryw is a gem of a cottage perched halfway up the hillside overlooking Cardigan Bay."

    The views were spectacular and always changing depending on the weather and the light. It was very peaceful and a brilliant place to unwind. Inside the cottage is modern and was very clean with a living area, kitchen with a good range of appliances including oven, hob, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, and filter coffee machine. The shower room was spotless. Upstairs there’s a small sitting area and a bedroom. Not that is was a problem for us, but the head hight in the bedroom might be tight for a taller person, but it would be a minor inconvenience for staying in such a beautiful space. There was a book of Snowdonia dog walks in the drawer by the front door which came with useful suggestions on where to walk our dog who really enjoyed himself. Most of the local beaches have dog-friendly areas. We didn’t even get to use the wood burner or hot tub and would definitely consider staying here again.

  • "We overall had a lovely stay here."

    Location was lovely and house was goood. However, we were left with no toliet roll and arrived on a Sunday so did have to go out to a corner shop to buy our own which kind of sucked, after a long drive here. Hot tub did break - owner helped but it did leave it out of use for a night, we also found glass in the hot tub which was a concern and a champagne glass left by the front door of our accommodation upon arrival which remained through the duration of our stay.

    Hi, thanks you for your review. We are so glad you had a good time staying with us. We are very sorry that you arrived to no toilet roll, this is very strange as we always supply plenty of toilet roll for our guests and it’s a shame this was missed. Our numbers are in the welcome pack so if you had called we could have rectified this issue quickly. In regards to the hot tub issue, it was an issue with the settings and not a fault with the hottub as we explained to you and this was rectified almost immediately. We are very surprised that you found glass in the hottub as we are very clear with all guests that glass is prohibited near the hottub and it is cleaned and checked between every stay so we are unsure how this could have happened. We are happy you came to enjoy the area and hope you can visit the mountains again soon. Many thanks. Property Owner

The property

Criccieth 2.4 miles.

Nyth Dryw is a simply idyllic stone-built cottage with tremendous countryside views, settled into the rural outskirts of Criccieth.

While there is one neighbouring property nearby, the cottage otherwise enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting.

Close to local beaches, the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, and with the added opulence of a hot tub and woodburning stove, this incredible abode is a dreamy escape to Gwynedd for two.

Upon arrival you will be greeted by stunning countryside views out across the mountains of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, and towards local beaches, towards the sea beyond, an inspiring backdrop for keen explorers looking for a characterful stay in Gwynedd.

Be welcomed into this picturesque stone-built property, offering an open-plan living space with everything you will need to cater to your stay, including a handy utility and a contemporary kitchen for home cooking.

Within this space there is also a dining space for romantic meals complemented by a glass of fizz, and a sitting area encouraging guests to lounge beside the ambient crackle of the woodburning stove after a long day of exploring the local area.

From here, discover a sleek ground-floor shower room, a first floor snug, a good hideaway for a spot of reading, and a beautiful double bedroom with charming A-frame wooden beams.

Be captivated by the breath-taking views boasted by this home from the outdoor sitting area, where guests can enjoy a tipple as the sun sets, and why not take an indulgent dip in the hot tub, marveling at the starry skies and the sounds of wildlife amidst the tranquility?

Criccieth is a fantastic location just a short distance from the property, offering local shops, pubs, eateries, a sandy beach, and a golf course.

Here there is a fantastic castle, and you can explore more history at Harlech Castle.

Porthmadog offers watersports activities, whilst the picturesque riverside Italian-style town of Portmeirion is ideal for a romantic afternoon dining in quaint cafes.

The Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park is a must visit, with its many scenic hikes, adventure sports, and picnic spots, with places to visit including Zip World, Sygun Copper Mine, Castell Dolwyddelan, Glyder Fawr, and Carnedd Llewelyn.

The property is also within reach of the pretty Llŷn Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a place strewn with coastal walks.

Make an unforgettable romantic retreat to Gwynedd with a stay at the beautiful Nyth Dryw.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
