Criccieth Holiday Cottages
Discover our Criccieth Cottages
Perched at the top of Cardigan Bay, Criccieth looks out across Snowdonia and the Cambrian Coast, offering a mix of seaside charm and mountain views. Our Criccieth cottages put you in the perfect spot to enjoy both coastal and countryside adventures, with the Llŷn Peninsula and Snowdonia National Park right on your doorstep.
In the heart of town, Criccieth Castle stands proudly on the cliffs, built by Llywelyn the Great and later claimed by Edward I before being retaken in 1404. With centuries of history behind it, Criccieth grew into a much-loved holiday destination after the Cambrian Coast railway arrived in 1867. Today, its two beaches, separated by the castle, are a peaceful place to unwind, with spectacular views making it a favourite for families, walkers, and those seeking a relaxing seaside escape.
Food & Drink
With an abundance of restaurants, pubs and cafes. The seafront restaurant Dylans is a great spot to enjoy a drink basking in the sunshine. Cadwaladers is almost impossible to resist when walking past with their impressive display of delicious ice creams. Both Prince of Wales and Bryn Hir Arms often have live music in the evenings to help relax after a day exploring the North Wales coastline. Before heading out for the day, visit Idris Cafe to get a divine eclair.
