Seaside Holiday Cottage Criccieth | Towyn

Towyn is a timeworn gem of a two-bedroom holiday cottage in the heart of Criccieth, North Wales a place where thick stone walls, quirky corners, and a proper log fire whisper stories from generations past. This is not just another seaside rental it's a bona fide old cottage with plenty of character, a few idiosyncrasies, and an enviable location just a short stroll from the beach, local pubs, tempting restaurants and a clutch of independent shops and delis.

Inside, the main living roomis surprisingly generous. Two comfy sofas face each other across a working log fire the kind you'll want to spend long evenings in front of with a glass of red and zero plans. At the far end of the room, a grand old dining table sits near a large picture window that peers out towards the sea. Just off this space is a smaller snug a second lounge if you like with another fire (this time a living flame gas version) and a TV. A fine set-up for film nights, quiet reading time, or simply giving people space to do their own thing.

The kitchen is a warm blend of old and new. An original pastel-blue enamelled Aga stands as a proud centrepiece, giving the space a nostalgic farmhouse feel. Around it, modern cream cupboards and a beach-effect worktop keep things practical and light. A breakfast table sits by the window, ideal for laid-back bacon sarnies or spreading out your beach-day bits.

Upstairs, there's a double and a twin bedroom. The double offers a comfy bed and plenty of storage, while both rooms enjoy peace and quiet thanks to those gloriously thick stone walls. Sunlight trickles in during the day, and by night, the only sound you're likely to hear is the distant crash of the waves or perhaps the odd owl. The bathroom is usefully split in two one room for the large shower and basin, and another for the loo. Perfect if you're travelling with teens or anyone who likes to linger under hot water.

One thing to note before you arrive: the entrance to the driveway is quite narrow. It's perfectly manageable for standard-sized cars, but if you're in anything wider than usual, it's best to ease in with care. It's all part of the charm of staying in a truly old property, where cars weren't quite top of mind during construction.
