About this property

A cosy cottage, perfect for a coast and country retreat

A comfortable detached house with kitchen, living room, sitting/dining room, conservatory, three bedrooms (1x king size, 1x double and 2x single beds) and one toilet/bathroom with a large bath and electric shower.

The house is homely and welcoming, it sleeps six within the three bedrooms. A sofa bed in the sitting room can accommodate a further two 'temporary' guests.

The conservatory is ideal for either dining or relaxing in, taking in the garden, countryside and sea views.

The house is double glazed, with oil central heating and features dressed stonework, exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace, two multi-fuel stoves, private gardens and ample off road parking.

The outside patio area is ideal for eating 'al fresco' and to unwind, take in the views and fresh air. Guests are welcome to stroll around the garden and orchard. There is a small pond in the garden and so children will need to be supervised. In addition, there are two bee hives in the orchard, which are some distance from the house and these are mild mannered bees. However, both children and pets should supervised, so as not to disturb these busy garden helpers and their home.

Please note that Hafod Boeth is down a narrow country lane and so extra wide vehicles may find it difficult to approach.

Lovely place close to Snowdonia

We really enjoyed the old house and its garden, especially the view towards the sea.

It was a pleasure to host for Maria and her family and I got to meet them all too. They certainly made the most of their stay, including a trip to Ireland, but they also seemed to enjoy their stay in my home, with its facilities and views. They really looked after the place, it was left very clean and tidy, they had even stripped the beds and collated towels etc. all very much appreciated. I’d love to welcome Maria and her party back, if they return to the UK and visit North Wales again and I recommend other hosts to accept a booking request from her too. Thank you -x-

Fantastic cottage

Our family stayed at the cottage in April. The property is cosy and set in a picturesque location. Far enough out to feel away from it all yet still only a short drive to some great days out. The garden is beautiful with brilliant views of the coast. Our kids loved the gardens and the house. The owner has created a gorgeous set up which makes you feel at home no matter the amount of days you stay. We’ll definitely be heading back to stay.

It was a pleasure to meet and host for Craig and his party, during their stay at Hafod Boeth. He kept in contact both before and during his stay, which was very much welcomed and reassuring, for both parties. They looked after my home and the place was left tidy, collating all towels for me in the bathroom and ensured all pots and cutlery were washed and put away, all very much appreciated. I’d recommended Craig to other hosts and would love to welcome him back, if he decides to return to visit the area.

About the host

Hosted by Craig Hargreaves

Host profile image
Hello, I'm Craig, the proud owner of Hafod Boeth, a detached stone property set in the heart of Gwynedd in beautiful North Wales.

I’ve owned the property for quite a number of years, although the building has been here for over 150 years and so I consider myself merely as the latest trustee. Hafod Boeth is definitely not new and I'm certainly not new to the area. I have previously lived in Criccieth and I’m a regularly visitor to, and supporter of all, parts of the region, as I have done since I was a little boy (so well over 45 years of being in the region) and now have many good friends & neighbours.

I pleased to be able to share my home, with select guests, who will appreciate & look after the property whilst I’m away with work.

Hafod Boeth is well equipped with all modern amenities whilst retaining that character, safe and homely feel.

I'm the joint owner of a small business providing regulatory business services to small retail investment firms and fortunate to be able to regularly work from home.

When I'm not working, I love spending time with family and friends, taking in the outdoors/scenery, walking and relaxing on the beach and so we're spoilt for choice in North Wales. Other interests include socialising (drink and food), movies and film, music, the internet, gardening and slowly learning Welsh.

Why they chose this property

Whilst the property is relatively new to me, at over 150 years old, Hafod Boeth is definitely not new and I'm certainly not new to the area, having been a regular visitor (to Criccieth) since I was a little boy and have many friends in the area.

Hafod Boeth is well equipped with all modern amenities whilst retaining that character, safe and homely feel.

What makes this property unique

A peaceful and homely property, catering for all your needs and ideally located for enjoyment of both the coast and countyside, all witnessed from the amazing panoramic view from the property.

So if you're looking to just sit and relax or want to be more adventurous, like taking a swim in the sea, laying on a beach, climbing a mountain or two, walking the beaches or through the fields and woodlands, venture of bird or wildlife watching, or something even more exhilarating, like speeding along a zipwire or surfing on an inland lagoon, then Hafod Boeth caters for all your needs.
