Criccieth 1.7 miles. Perched in the charming village of Llanystumdwy near Criccieth, is this superb ground-floor accomodation, Gwel Afon. Enjoying a wonderful location along the banks of the River Dwyfor, which can be heard from your very own private front garden, and within easy reach of Snowdonia National Park, Gwel Afon is the ideal dwelling for a family of four. Be greeted by two off-road parking spaces and a front patio with furniture, the perfect spot for savouring your morning coffee. Step into the open-plan living space, where you can look forward to gathering your loved ones on the plush leather corner sofa to enjoy a family favourite on the Smart TV. Rustle up tasty dishes in the well-equipped kitchen, ready to enjoy at the dining table for four or alfresco in the garden with the tranquil soundtrack of the river. After a day of exploring, you will find two well-appointed bedrooms, double with en-suite shower room, and a bunk room, ideal for the little ones to snuggle up in. From your new accommodation, you can enjoy leisurely strolls along the river, delve into history at the Amgueddfa Lloyd George Museum, or refuel at the welcoming Tafarn Y Plu pub set within a Grade II listed building. Continue onto Criccieth, where you can stock up on essentials at the petrol station, visit the fascinating Castell Criccieth with sweeping sea views, spend a day on the golden sands of two beautiful beaches, or tuck-in to fresh seafood at Dylan’s. From here you can easily access Porthmadog, home to the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway, an excellent golf club and the Black Rock Llamas. Your new accommodation is ideally located for walkers and cyclists with exceptional walks nearby, including the renowned North Wales Coastal Footpath, as well as the Snowdonia National Park, where you can tackle the famous Snowdon Peak. All this and more awaits at Gwel Afon.

We enjoyed our stay, lovely village, the apartment was clean & lots of hot water, great shower, nice bedding & towels, the owners left us some wine & snacks which was nice I feel bad saying this but there was a smell of damp, the dehumidifier was running constantly & we emptied it twice a day

We really enjoyed our stay in Llanystumdwy.

The property is ideally located to discover north west Wales. The apartment is well equipped for self catering and has a large off road parking as well as a bus stop in front of the house. The hosts Jason and Joanna are super nice and helpful. We can highly recommend Gwel Afon!

Fell in love with the village.

Very easy to find, nice on-drive parking, very peaceful and quiet area. The apartment is lovely and very well maintained. Cleaned professionally. Thank you for the opportunity to be there! Very short drive from stores, beach, castle. Walking distance from stream, playground.
