  • "We had a wonderful break at Prys Mawr."

    The house is in a lovely secluded spot and very quiet. The house has everything you need and was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this property for a relaxing family break.

  • "This was our second visit to Prys Mawr and we have been very happy there, this was until we received a call halfway through our holiday saying we could no longer charge our electric car."

    With very little public charging in North Wales this is likely to mean we cannot visit again. We are very disappointed, this is such a shame, the house itself is perfect for our needs and had hoped to become regular visitors. The car was charging at 2KW per hour, exactly as it does outside our own home (this is equivalent to a normal domestic electric heater) but we were told it was a fire risk. Perhaps the owners would consider installing an exterior plug socket to alleviate this? as the number of electric cars is increasing rapidly across the country.

  • "Comfortable modern cottage set in a quiet location but close enough to beaches, castles, mountains and riverside walking to name just the start of what the area has to offer."

    A generous welcome pack was waiting for us and was greatly appreciated after our long journey. We had a lovely time, the weather was mainly warm and quite sunny for October so we went out somewhere different every day. The only slight niggle was a smell of oil from the central heating which was quite noticeable at times but we got used to over the week.

  • "Wonderful house and garden with no neighbours, so location very peaceful!"

    Only tiny 'problem', we didn't have the skylight window opener so we couldn't open the skylights and we stayed on the hottest week of the year, so over nights were unbearably hot and could have been much better with them open.

  • "The house was beautiful and clean."

    Owners left us a lovely welcome pack, which was a very nice touch. The house was spacious and en suite sink and toilet was excellent as 5 adults could have their own privacy. We saw a rabbit a couple of times in the garden which our granddaughter loved seeing. The property was easier to find than we first thought. Location was beautiful and very peaceful.

    The kids listened to bees and watched swallows fly. What a haven of peace, we relaxed after our days on the beach or train or castles. Games of football and a BBQ, what more could you want.

  • "Impressive cottage in the middle of nowhere."

    Absolutely beautiful, scenic and cosy. Cottage appears to have gone through a thorough make over, done to the highest standards. Very good gesture by the owner by leaving us a welcome hamper with stuffs to get you started. Couple of issues though; water doesn't drain away quickly from both tha bathrooms and we found lumps of hair left in the bedrooms, the cleaning staff must have missed it. But overall these can be forgotten because the cottage is located in a lovely spot and is very good. Thank you.

  • "I can most definitely recommend this property."

    The location is close to several towns but far enough away to be very peaceful. The furnishings are modern and comfortable and the house is exceptionally well kitted out. The mattresses were all good quality and extremely comfortable. The box of Welsh goodies on arrival was a lovely surprise and meant we didn't have to rush out to the shops. I would be very happy to return here. I have only given 4 stars because (and I am being very picky now) there are a few things that could be improved to make it a 5 star rental. Firstly, during our stay the broadband speed was less than 1MB. The owners tried all they could to resolve the issue but it required an engineer visit. This was due to happen the following week, so if you do need broadband during your stay then it would be worth checking with the owners first to make sure this has happened. Secondly the garden furniture is not particularly comfortable for lounging in. There is a bench and a picnic table but the property will benefit from some deck chairs or loungers. Finally, there is a really good sized garden space, plenty of room for dogs to run around, but the garden feels like it has not been cared for, it would be so beautiful if the stone walls and fences were cleared of brambles and there were some plants added to make it brighter and more inviting.

    Clean and comfortable and all the amenities and more in the kitchen. Wi fi router was a casualty of the lightning but the owner brought us a new one after a day. Bit worried about the bins as no information in booklet about what day they were collected so not able to put them out. Also owner informed us no towels were supplied and check out was 9am instead of 10am and this was not on Sykes information booklet.

  • "Your response to repeated emails from me following my booking and prior to the date of arrival was unacceptable."

    Eventually I received a telephone call from you when I explained the reduction in the advertised cost of £200 compared with that which I paid when booking last January. This I considered unfair practice and I have subsequently referred the matter to the Competition and Markets Authority for their consideration.

The property

Criccieth 4 miles.

A beautifully appointed detached farmhouse in a rural location, with wonderful countryside views.

This welcoming holiday cottage lies close to the seaside town of Criccieth, a few miles from the beautiful coastline of the Llyn Peninsula.

Perfectly located, it provides an ideal base for couples, friends and families wishing to spend quality time together whilst being centrally situated for all that Snowdonia and the North Wales Coast has to offer.

Prys Mawr offers a warm Welsh welcome from the minute you walk through the door.

Sympathetically and imaginatively renovated to a very high standard, the cottage radiates charm and character, with oak wood flooring and locally hand-crafted oak doors.

The character blends well with the stylish, modern finish with high ceilings, spotlighting and well-equipped kitchen with a wonderful central island and Neff appliances, and ground floor walk-in wet room.

The welcoming sitting room with comfy leather sofas is a lovely place to sit and relax long into the evening.

Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms, each benefiting from en-suite WCs with the double also with a shower.

The lawned garden to the front is enclosed by shallow stone walling and the patio with garden furniture provides a fantastic location to sit and soak up the sunshine whilst enjoying the uninterrupted views of surrounding countryside.

Enjoy a refreshing drink or dine alfresco and discuss the day’s adventures.

There are some wonderful countryside walks from the doorstep; visit St Cybi’s Well or enjoy a walk along the coastal path.

Nearby is Lon Goed, an avenue of trees which leads to the coastal path.

Prys Mawr is also set on the Pwllheli-Portmadog cycle path with wonderful routes to follow.

There is also easy access to wonderful beaches at nearby Criccieth, Morfa Bychan and the whole of the Llyn Peninsula.

Spend a day discovering the 13th century castle at Criccieth before taking afternoon tea at one of the many charming tea rooms.

Porthmadog has an impressive marina and is the terminus for the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways.

This charming cottage is the perfect base for discovering this fabulous part of Wales.
