About this property
Ty Jem is a gorgeous four-storey, town house house resting in the lively seaside town of Criccieth in Gwynedd. Offering a balcony and views from most rooms within the house, as well as a games room, this fantastic property is the ideal retreat for a family break to the Welsh coast. Arriving at the property, off-road parking allows you to park your car and leave it there for the duration of your trip should you want to set out your days on foot. Enter into the hallway and leave your coats and shoes before making your way into the games room to work up an appetite over a game of table tennis. When you are ready to sit down and relax, head up the stairs to the first-floor, home to an open-plan living space with a balcony, perfect for letting some fresh sea air into the space. Here, happen upon the well-equipped kitchen where you will find an electric double oven and an electric hob to whip up meals for your group, as well as a handy dishwasher to assist with cleaning up. Sit down for dinner at the dining table to discuss the day's events and plan your next adventure, before making your way to the sitting room to sink into the sofas and watch TV for the evening. As the evening draws to a close, head upstairs to the second floor to find two of three well-presented bedrooms; here you will find a king-size and a twin, each of which have been furnished with plush zip and link beds providing you with a flexible sleeping arrangement. Climb the stairs to the third floor to discover the master bedroom, a king-size with an en-suite shower room and sea views from the skylight window; get ready in style from this wonderous elevated position, or if you do need to get a bit of work done throughout your stay, this bedroom also hosts a handy desk. Completing the interior of the house is a family bathroom located on the second floor and home to a bath so you can soak away the day with a good book, along with a convenient cloakroom and utility back on the ground floor. When you are not soaking up the views from the balcony, spend some time in the enclosed courtyard savouring a glass of wine in the last of the summer sun. The courtyard is a sun-trap on the warmer days, with dining seating for six and a barbecue, you can enjoy an evening of cooking and unwinding before heading back inside to enjoy your home away from home. If you can tear yourself away from this delightful abode, why not give the chef of your group a break and venture out to eat at one of the local restaurants; Bryn Hir Arms offers traditional pub grub and an inviting beer garden, while Swn Y Mor is a family restaurant offering breakfast, pizzas, lunches and children's meals. While staying at Ty Jem, be sure to visit the towering Castell Criccieth and enjoy the viewpoint overlooking the the Anglesey and Irish coasts. For a spot of adventure, the Black Rock Sands Caves rest just a scenic drive away and provide an endearing location for cave walker and explorers alike, whilst surrounded by a sweeping sandy beach. If adventure is your style of getaway, the famous Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park is within easy reach of the dwelling and boasts an abundance of walking and cycling routes, as well as opportunities for kayaking and canoeing on the peaceful lakes. While here, why not stick you walking boots on and try to conquer Wales and England's largest mountain, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)? Another scenic car journey will lead you to the picture-perfect village of Portmerion should you prefer a relaxing day of strolling nearby. Whatever the weather, Ty Jem is the ideal property for a memorable holiday with your loved ones. If Golf is your passion pack your clubs and choose from Criccieth, Abersoch, Pwllheli Royal St Davids at Harlech or grab the train and venture to Aberdovey, Fore!

Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the living spaces to the well-equipped kitchen that had everything we needed .The location gave us easy access to some nice local restaurants such as Bwyty 51 and Dylanâs.

The house is perfectly located for both the town and a short walk to the beach. The train station is only a few steps away and the coastal train is a fabulously cheap and easy way to explore the coastline, we used it several times. The house is well stocked, clean & modern. The beds are comfy and the towels are super fluffy. For our family we love that the beds could all be doubles. So a perfect place for families and couples alike. The table tennis table in the garage has been great for an ongoing competition running all week. The owner is great at keeping in touch and this is definitely a holiday home that we would return to again.
