Plas Bryn Hir is a big house on the edge of Criccieth. It's Georgian, listed, and sleeps thirteen. There are six bedrooms and five bathrooms. It gets a 5 Star rating.
It’s not a cottage, it’s a proper manor house. You can walk down into Criccieth in about ten minutes. The beach is good, sandy.
The main living space is at the back, in what used to be the ballroom. It’s a big room with a large wood burner and a long table. There’s a separate formal sitting room at the front, and a kitchen with a Rangemaster.
The staircases are wide and quite shallow, which is a Georgian thing. Two bedrooms on the first floor are en-suite, one has a private bathroom next to it. Up on the second floor, two more bedrooms share a shower room. There’s also a shower room on the ground floor.
The gardens are large, mostly lawn with woodland around the edges. There’s a veranda at the front. You can bring one dog.
