Recently renovated, Yr Awel is ideally located in a quiet cul-de-sac yet within easy walking distance of the centre of Criccieth. Known for its ruined castle and connections to Lloyd George, Criccieth is a laid back coastal town with plenty to offer. A path leading from the back garden provides a shortcut to the town centre, meaning you can walk to the various cafes, pubs, shops and restaurants, and of course, the beach, all within a few minutes. The property sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms with off road parking for two cars and a newly landscaped private garden with panoramic views. All three bedrooms are decorated in soothing neutral tones, setting the scene for rest and relaxation, and a break from day to day life. To the front of the property the twin bedroom is decorated in calming blue and white, with artwork reflecting the property's coastal location. Next to the twin is the main bathroom, with a full sized bath as well as a double walk-in shower, followed by a double bedroom which looks out onto the side garden and has the benefit of a wall mounted smart TV, perfect for lazy mornings. The spacious master bedroom features a king sized bed and an ensuite shower room that gives luxury hotel vibes with a sleek bathroom suite, back lit mirror and generous double shower. This lovely bedroom also has a wall mounted smart TV and large patio doors which open onto a small terrace, an ideal morning coffee spot to sit and enjoy the far reaching sea views. The open plan kitchen / living / dining room is a light and spacious room with picture windows affording views over the garden to Bae Ceredigion; patio doors open from the dining area onto the terrace with steps leading to the garden. The sleek contemporary kitchen is well equipped, with a fridge freezer, dishwasher, oven, hob and microwave, along with a four slice toaster to cater for large family breakfasts, and a washing machine to help you keep on top of holiday laundry. A breakfast bar with comfortable high chairs links the kitchen and living areas and provides a sociable space to enjoy a glass of wine while preparing dinner. In the living area the large L shaped sofa is a welcome spot to relax after a day of exploring the local area, and enjoy a film on the large wall mounted smart TV. At the rear of this stylish contemporary bungalow with far-reaching sea views the private garden has been thoughtfully landscaped, the terrace makes an ideal al fresco breakfast spot, while a further decked area has been perfectly positioned to make the most of the beautiful views and provides the main outdoor dining area. The garden offers plenty of space for children and pets to play, and a covered area provides bike storage for guests who'd like to explore the stunning surrounding countryside on two wheels. A maximum of 2 dogs are welcome at this property. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Cottage, Ensuite, Mountain View (Two Bedroom) | Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/4000000/3310000/3306900/3306826/138d38bf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dolgun Uchaf Guesthouse Dolgellau - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Tennis court 9.2 Wonderful 189 reviews £98 includes taxes & fees 19 Apr - 20 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-19&endDate=2026-04-20&selected=3306826&PinnedHotelID=3306826&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114100000/114092100/114092070/760ab179.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Harbour Station View Porthmadog - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 8.0 Very good 1 review £386 includes taxes & fees 12 Apr - 13 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-12&endDate=2026-04-13&selected=114092070&PinnedHotelID=114092070&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage | Balcony](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44520000/44510300/44510289/af644cf0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tan Yr Allt Pwllheli - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Parking included 10 Exceptional 1 review £401 includes taxes & fees 11 Apr - 12 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-11&endDate=2026-04-12&selected=44510289&PinnedHotelID=44510289&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/27000000/27000000/26992200/26992132/83d83903.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Garth Morthin The Stables Porthmadog - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Parking included 10 Exceptional 2 reviews £466 includes taxes & fees 15 Apr - 16 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-15&endDate=2026-04-16&selected=26992132&PinnedHotelID=26992132&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100750000/100742800/100742779/fe81a928.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gweldon - Anchor Deck Porthmadog - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews £316 includes taxes & fees 30 Apr - 1 May [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-30&endDate=2026-05-01&selected=100742779&PinnedHotelID=100742779&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102160000/102155900/102155811/68d32581.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Chalet Forte Aberdovey - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-22&endDate=2026-04-23&selected=102155811&PinnedHotelID=102155811&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage | Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89450000/89441300/89441216/57f51756.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hen Bopty Fairbourne - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Parking included 8.0 Very good 1 review £456 includes taxes & fees 14 Apr - 15 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-14&endDate=2026-04-15&selected=89441216&PinnedHotelID=89441216&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34400000/34397600/34397503/780ead5a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Grove Country Cottage Machynlleth - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-22&endDate=2026-04-23&selected=34397503&PinnedHotelID=34397503&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22870000/22863300/22863250/52c7ebdc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SNOWDONIA LOG CABIN RETREAT 4 BERTH FAMILY/PET FRIENDLY.

Loved the location and the house is beautiful. Would definitely stay again. The only thing I would add is that we sat outside the house in the car for a few minutes deciding if that was the property. A lovely neighbour came out and asked us what we were looking for. We were in the right place but a name on the house would have helped us to not disturbed the neighbour. ##### Gillian M.
