Hafod-Dwyfach is a bright and spacious holiday cottage in a rural setting. A fantastic family space both inside and out make it a great holiday retreat, especially with its modern and stylish interiors and accessibility to other parts of North Wales.
The large and open drive on arrival with uninterrupted views over towards the Snowdonia mountains is so welcoming. The feeling of being in such a beautiful, open and rural setting with the enclosed area of the cottage and its grounds is just perfect.
As you come into the cottage, the open plan kitchen, diner and sitting room with its vaulted ceilings, patio doors and windows make it a really bright and spacious room. The kitchen has high gloss, cream units and a bar area with stools making it a very sociable place to cook and prepare food. The sitting room has plenty of sofa space which will comfortably seat 5 and the addition of the select pieces of wooden furniture add to making this an inviting part of the room.
Along the hall from the kitchen, there are three bedrooms in total; a double, twin and single. The double and twin have ensuite bathrooms and there is also a communal single WC. The bedrooms are all finished with lovely, soft carpet and plump, inviting beds. The bathrooms are modern with slate tiles throughout, wet room style showers and chrome fittings – very boutique hotel feel to them.

Location
The outside space of this cottage is really lovely. The enclosed front area includes a stone driveway, large patio and grassed garden looking out over fields and towards the Snowdonia mountains. The patio is the perfect place to sit back on the outside sofa’s and enjoy the tranquility of where you are.
In terms of location, the cottage is perfectly placed to access so many parts of North Wales, including the Llyn Peninsula, Snowdonia and the North Wales Coast. The cottage is only 20 mins away from Beddgelert alone which is the closest point from which you can climb Snowdon.
The cottage has easy and direct access to the Lon Eifion cycle path to Caernarfon and it is also on the National Cycle Route 8 and 40.
Porthmadog is the nearest town where there is a good selection of shops, the major supermarkets and lovely cafes as well as the Ffestiniog Steam Train which takes you into the mountains. A nice harbour which a 15 min walk along will bring you to Borth Y Gest. Portmeirion Village is also just down the road where Festival No6 is held.
Criccieth is 15 mins away and is your nearest beach as well as a lovely, smaller town where you will find great antique shops and a really good selection of cafes and of course the famous Cadwaladers Ice Cream and Dylans restaurant on the seafront. From here you have easy access to Pwllheli with the marina and then onto Abersoch which is a hive of activity and the place to go surfing.
20 mins to the North will bring you to Caernarfon where of course you have the castle and more great beaches and close to Bethesda which is where you will find Zip World. A little further along the coast road on in Conwy is Surf Snowdonia.
Within an 1 – 1.5 hours, you have access to the best mountain biking trails in the country, the UK’s no 1 place for white water rafting and incredible places to climb, walk, kayak, SUP – so many thinks you can tick off a bucket list here….

The Bullin Family – 15.12.19
A total winner – 6 stars. So well thought out and equipped. Rain and gales outside but warm as toast in a wonderful holiday home. Amazing welcome home pack. thank you.
The Stuart Family – 3rd December 2019
Top class barn and welcome! Fantastic location and wonderful weather. Splendid holiday.
The Roberts Family – 15.11.2019
A wonderful stay…..a beautiful barn conversion, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Thank you for the lovely welcome pack.
What a place! To start with you arrive to a warm spotlessly clean big bright converted barn. The gift pack was lovely… milk,bread,cake,fizz and a gift voucher and as it was Halloween during our stay a pumpkin too. Everything was so well thought through,from the equipment in the kitchen to the space you inhabited. Beds so comfortable,linen good quality,towels thick and bright. Then you open the curtains in the morning to that open view of the mountains in the distance and the farm animals 30 ft from your door. It is no lie when I tell you none of us wanted to leave to come home and that has NEVER happened before. Our only gripe would be the bathroom light is to dull to shave (says my partner!) or apply makeup. We loved it and would definitely recommend it 100% to anyone with young children or who has a disabled person in their group as we have.
First impressions of this cottage – WOW. Absolutely beautiful. Everything was good quality and in beautiful surroundings. Everything very very clean. Welcome pack very welcome. Kitchen well equipped and hob worked without any second guessing (spaghetti Bol on first night). Early morning walks for the dog down the tiny country lanes, and the view from sitting outside on the patio furniture just lovely. Only tiny little oversight was nowhere to get towels dry after showering, as no radiators or heated towel rails. So we draped them over the corners of the shower itself. I would return here to this cottage and recommend it to all my friends. In fact friends visited us here and they were blown away too.
Our reason for visiting north Wales was to climb Snowdon, and do the Zip wire and caverns. Zip world not cheap, but so well organised we didn’t begrudge them the money, and Snowdon was beautiful. We did Snowdon Ranger route, and the dog also managed easily.
Our other ‘best day’ was in Anglesey. By accident I found stunning pictures of a lighthouse on google, managed to locate it and off we went. Newborough in Anglesey for the sat nav. Parked in a country park. The beach, the woods, then the walk down to the lighthouses when the tide had gone out was fabulous.
Eating out with the dog wasn’t easy. Thank goodness for the Goat Inn just up the road. It’s wonderful. We booked a table in the bar, had a wonderful meal from an extensive menu, and went back another twice. That says it all.
Criccieth was lovely, both sides of the castle lovely walks. At the Prince of Wales pub I had some of the best chips I’ve ever had, and the meal much better than expected, and the takeaway from Mei’s Infusion Foods was good.
All in all a great week away, weather was superb which always helps enormously of course.
The cottage was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Lovely peaceful location but not far from the major tourist attractions in the area. Perfect for a family holiday.
Loved our week here. The house is absolutely immaculate and very well equipped. Amazing showers and the blinds and windows in ceiling – they are fab!!!
The house is so peaceful which is exactly what we wanted. My husband loved the fruitcake – thank you so much x
The barn is beautifully converted and has wonderful views. It is very comfortable and well equipped. The owners were extremely helpful and helped us a lot to ensure our youngest daughter, who is in a wheelchair was able to manage.
We enjoyed a lovely week – thank you
27th July – 3rd August from Porthcawl
Lovely spacious and welcoming barn! Very well equipped and clean. Great place to wake up and have breakfast looking onto picturesque views.
This was our 2nd stay at this beautiful property, nothing has changed, it is still a perfect place to stay. In fact I could quite happily live there!
Thank you so much for the extensive welcome pack, it was much appreciated.
I am sure that we will be back.
Absolutely lovely place to stay. Very relaxing and comfortable. Outdoor space for the dog is good except when nearby sheep and cows come for a look. Can cause a little inter species tension.
We have just returned after a four night break from this wonderful holiday cottage – very clean, very comfortable and the decoration is to an extremely high standard. The welcome pack is the best we have ever received.
We all agreed that this cottage is by far the best “Dioni” cottage we have stayed in.
To the property owners – we thank you for sharing your wonderful property; your hospitality was very much appreciated.
Ann, Ian, Bryan and Buddy.

Beautiful House, great weather, a fabulous holiday, Thank you!
20th April 2019
Lovely property in a peaceful setting. Convenient too for many local towns/attractions.Thank you!
Immaculate cottage with all we needed for a restful break. Quiet location and at this time of year (January) you need your car to access the nearby pub which is excellent.
Good base for the area as you’ve got the coast and the mountains all within easy reach
One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Perfectly comfortable whatever the weather; great beds; well equipped. Fantastic area
Amazing cottage, have been travelling from South Wales to North Wales for over 20 years for a short break every year with my family and this is far the best. Access is all one level and ideal for my mother in-law who depends on a wheelchair. Fantastic views, well equipped kitchen with welcome pack.
The two en-suite bedrooms are light and airy with double wardrobes and walk in showers which are fantastic.
under floor heating throughout which is superb didn’t feel the November chill at all!!!!
Looking forward to booking for next year.
Highly recommended
Lovely conversion, very well appointed. Peaceful location yet close to transport links. Excellent would highly recommend. Only suggestion would be for more cutlery.
fantastic place to stay. peaceful location but not far away from lots to visit. would highly recommend. only suggestion would be for more cutlery . great trip with 4 adults and two classic cars
We’ve just come back from a lovely holiday. Location is beautiful, only 10 mins from Criccieth and near to lots of other great places. There is loads to do in the district and we will certainly be coming back again. Cottage was very nice, high standard throughout and met all our expectations
28th July- 4th August, Wolverhampton
Fabulous accommodation! 5 star! Really helpful owners. Weather not brill, but a fab week nontheless!!
21st-28th July, Cheshire
Amazing!!! LOVE the welcome pack. Immaculate accommodation. We will certainly be recommending to friends and family and we will be revisiting. Highly recommended Dylans restaurant, but make sure you pre-book. Traeth Penllech beach is Amazing, dog friendly and very quiet. Abersoch is lovely, lots of nice shops and places to eat. The views from the cottage are breathtaking and I love that its on its own and so peaceful. Fish and chips on the beach in Abersoch is a must! Beds are lovely and comfy, great night sleep! Wonderful week!! Thank you!!
p.s, Love that this is dog friendly and the attention to detail is fabulous!! Well done!!
9th-13th July, from Bristol
Thank you for the lovely welcome pack. Great property and location. I have limited mobility so great to have a holiday home with good access that is also of such a high standard and in a fantastic location- the view, the coast, our dog loved black rock sands!, and the amazing Snowdonia National Park. One recommendation we haven’t seen anywhere else: Cariad Gelato in Portmadog- fantastic quality!
4th-9th July, North Somerset
We had a lovely holiday in your amazing cottage. We loved the views and the location was fab. The cottage was immaculate and very well equipped. Criccieth is beautiful and worth a visit. Thank you also for the great welcome pack-very much appreciated. The homemade cake was delicious. Diolch yn fawr!
24 June- 1st July, Worcestershire
A very well equipped cottage, stunning location. Cottage is done to a very high standard, everything you need is here. We cannot fault anything at all. Thank you so much for the welcome pack. We will be back, ours two dogs also enjoyed their stay, lots of places to see. Thank you.
18-24th June, From Milton Keynes & London
A great, cosy place. Very nice and clean. Could not have asked for a better place.
Stayed 15.6.19 to 22.6.19
Stunning cottage with stunning views and a great location for exploring North Wales. I loved having my morning cuppa whilst sat outside watching the sheep and cows, what a lovely start to the day!
Really comfortable beds and fab showers. I have some mobility issues but found the whole cottage very accessible including the garden which was properly enclosed too (no gaps under fences) great for our two dogs and peace of mind for us. Very relaxed stay in a secluded area away from the noise of traffic but not too far away from local amenities. We’ll definitely return!
7th-10th June, Reading, Berkshire
Beautiful cottage, very well stocked and the best welcome package we’ve had. THANKYOU!
7th June-9th June From Bristol
Amazing cottage in a beautiful location. Thanks very much for the welcome pack and other bits you left for us. Thanks again we’ve had a great time 🙂
We are the first to stay in this beautiful, well equipped cottage in a stunning location. Its been done to a high standard and cannot fault anything. We will most definitely be back, thank you. And thank you for the lovely welcome hamper, one of the best we have had in all the cottages we have stayed in! Most definitely recommend The Boat Inn but advise to book.
We had a very relaxing week in Wales. The cottage was superbly fitted out and the decor was of a high standard.
P.S a very peaceful location but nearby for many activities and shopping.
