Little Bakehouse | Holiday Rental in Snowdonia, Gwynedd

Holiday home
A great little conversion offering a bright, contemporary holiday home and all of Criccieth's delights within easy walking distance. "Once a school house, then a bakehouse, now converted to a great holiday cottage close to the beach, Castle and the famous Cadwalader's ice cream shop!" The spacious kitchen has an electric oven and hob, washer/drier, fridge with ice compartment, microwave and toaster. There is a dining table and chairs. A door leads out to a delightful wooden clad private little nook with garden furniture. The large sitting room has sofas, an electric log effect burner with remote control and large flat screen TV, DVD. There are stairs from the sitting room which lead up to the two bedrooms. One has a double bed and the other is a double (4ft) with single bunk over the top. The bathroom has a short bath with shower over (limited headroom), loo, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. The front courtyard has planters and shared pathway access to Castle Street. It can therefore be used for access by neighbours on occasion. The stairs are quite narrow and a little steep. Criccieth has retained it's lovely laid back seaside charm with its lovely beach and, of course, the Castle. There are excellent places to eat from simple fish and chips to gourmet dining. You won't find any chain stores here, just unique, individual and interesting little shops in addition to the essential post office and convenience shops. A little further afield is Porthmadog where you can access both the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways and the mountains of Snowdonia.

There are several downsides to this property. Firstly it is stated as off road parking. This is not the case. It is situated at the end of a gravel area. If the other residents have visitors etc you cannot park there is no room. Mention is made of the square nearby for alternative parking but this has a capacity of about 10 vehicles. We went for a week and had to street park for 6 days. They state there is a right of way seldom used across the front. This is well used by school children twice a day apart from a steady stream of locals and there is no gate on one end so you cannot use the front if you have a dog or open the front door for fresh air if hot. The front area is a bit neglected and lets the property down. The small rear courtyard is a bit of a let down. The furniture is rusty. The lights in th kitchencome on by sensor as do the ones in the bathroom. This is a wasteful practice. In the case of the bathroom not funny at 3am if you have to go - blinds you. So our opoinion is the property is quite nice but we felt let down as, for example, we would not have booked had we known the property did not have its own off street parking and the right of way usage was not as described.

Comfortable, cosy and very well appointed. The Little Bakehouse had everything we needed and although compact, the space was very well thought out. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and would return.
