View of the Criccieth Castle near the beach

Criccieth is a coastal village approximately 5 miles from Porthmadog and 7 miles from the market town of Pwllheli.  It is very picturesque with the castle dating back to the 13th century, and views of the mountains and the coast - to your west down towards the Lleyn Peninsula, and to the east you can see Black Rock Sands and Harlech. 

Our accommodation is located on Queens Rd, a quiet side street just off Marine Terrace with the seafront a few seconds walk away.  You can easily access the coastal path if you fancy walking along the coast towards Pwllheli or head east towards Black Rock sands and Morfa Bychan.       

There is something for everyone - hiking, walking, cycle routes, watersports and a wealth of historical places.  Have a look at our 'Things to Do' section of the website.
