The cosy living room and proximity to a friendly local pub add to its charm. Some guests noted minor maintenance issues and suggested improvements for cosiness and privacy.

Cleanliness

The property is generally clean, but there were mentions of a kitchen table with leftover food deposits and a fridge with ring marks. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a trend.

Location

The cottage is praised for its great location, central for exploring Gwynedd and within walking distance to Criccieth. The local pub and shop add to the convenience and charm of the location.

Comfort

Guests found the beds very comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. However, there were comments about the living room needing better sofas and the front bedroom bed being uncomfortable due to the springs.

Facilities

The property boasts a well-stocked kitchen and nice patio area. However, issues such as sporadic Wi-Fi, a small TV, and lack of a bannister on part of the staircase were noted. The musty smell and the need for better sofas were also mentioned.

About this property

Criccieth 1.6 miles. Nestled in the charming village of Llanystumdwy near the iconic Welsh town of Criccieth is Bodfan. This dog-friendly, stone-fronted cottage benefits from a welcoming interior adorned with charming original features including original doors and beautiful, exposed stone work, two well-appointed bedrooms, a small patio and a fantastic setting close to the breath-taking Llyn Peninsula coast and the attractions of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park; the perfect setting for couples, small families or friends looking to explore the wonders of North Wales. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home, stepping straight into the welcoming sitting room where the gentle crackle of the woodburning stove greets you. Unwind here before heading into the fully-equipped kitchen to rustle up tasty meals that can then be enjoyed around the dining table. When the evening draws to a close, head up the stairs to wash off the day’s adventures in the shower room before choosing between a king-size and a double bedroom. If you can tear yourself away from this wonderful dwelling, head to the pub which lies paces away and enjoy evening drinks; be sure to to raise a toast to your well-earned retreat. Alternatively, make the short journey to Criccieth to stock up on all of your self-catering essentials, marvel at the impressive water ruins of Criccieth Castle or while away the day upon the golden shores of Criccieth Beach which boasts unbeatable views across the sea. Head slightly further afield to Eryri National Park where you can explore the myriad of walking, hiking and cycling opportunities or try your hand at something more adventurous like zip lining across the quarry at Zip World or take to the water at Llyn Padarn lake for kayaking or paddle boarding; there is truly something for everyone! All this and more awaits at Bodfan!

This charming seaside town is located only 5 miles from Porthmadog and is often referred to as the "Pearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia." The town's castle, built in the 13th century and perched on a rocky outcrop, dominates the landscape and provides breathtaking views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia Mountains. The two beaches are great for water sports, and those who enjoy hiking or biking will appreciate being so close to the stunning Snowdonia National Park. Take a walk on the beach and spot some porpoises in the water, or unwind in one of the town's many pubs, restaurants, or tea rooms while enjoying a scoop of Cadwalader's ice cream. The beautiful beaches and world-famous golf courses of the Llyn Peninsula, as well as other nearby attractions like the Italianate gardens of Portmeirion and the Ffestiniog railway in nearby Porthmadog, are all within easy driving distance.
