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.

Criccieth itself is a charming coastal town with a lot to offer, well known for its famous ruined castle, which sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea, and its long, pebbly beach. Lazy days can be easily whiled away exploring the ramparts, meandering along the seafront and browsing the shops and galleries that line the high street. You’ll find plenty of cafes where you can enjoy a sweet treat, and no shortage of places to eat out with restaurants including Poachers and Spice Bank on the high street, and Dylan’s on the seafront. A path leads from the garden of Yr Awel directly down to the town centre, making it a very easy walk to the various cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops, and of course, the beach.
