Georgian Country House and Stable Sleeping 18 | Gorwel-Bryn-Hir

This Georgian country house and stable sleeping eighteen is perfect for extra-special get-togethers, big family holidays, and celebrations. Well-behaved pets are also welcome to holiday here.

Warm, welcoming, and oh-so-very luxurious, Gorwel Bryn Hir is a magnificent staycation bolthole for a holiday that you will remember forever. The accommodation is split over two cottages: one large 18th century manor house which sleeps 13, and a cute stable annexe, which sleeps an additional five guests.

The cottages - which are adjacent but have separate front doors (with no connecting internal doors) - are just a short walk from the centre of Criccieth. It's a beautiful seaside town with a medieval castle, browsable boutiques, and big sandy beaches. There are some excellent places to eat out nearby, and plenty of activities and watersports to enjoy too.

But back to the beautiful cottages. First up, the Georgian manor house, which sleeps up to 13 guests.

The Georgian Manor House at Gorwel Bryn Hir

Set over three floors, this part of the accommodation is a handsome Grade II-listed manor house, dating largely from the 18th century. Look out for some fabulous original features, including a beautiful glazed verandah, wood paneling and coving, and elegant staircases which were designed to accommodate the long skirts of the original ladies of the house.

With great age comes great proportions. You can expect beautifully presented bright living spaces with plenty of room for everyone in your holiday gang to come together or find some quiet time apart.

To give you some idea of the very ample living space, the natural ‘heart' of the house - the stunning family room beyond the kitchen - was originally used as a ballroom. With its wide bay windows, comfortable plush sofas, and huge wood burning stove it is a great place for sociable get-togethers. There's also a large dining table - and a piano! - in this lovely spacious room.

The luxury kitchen is well equipped, designed with heritage green units and a Rangemaster cooker, perfect for cooking your holiday meals. There is a large breakfast bar with four stools, and a separate formal dining room, which seats a further six. So plenty of room for entertaining.

The sitting room has been decorated and furnished to reflect the Georgian period with an attractive muted palette, deep original alcoves and shutters on the windows. Beyond the sitting room, you'll find the 'library' - a quiet space which is ideal for catching up with some reading or conversation.

The Georgian manor house offers six stylish bedrooms spread over the first and second floors, most with original fireplaces. All of the first floor bedrooms have their own bathrooms; two double rooms with en-suites, and a twin room with a separate bathroom. The second floor bedrooms - two twin rooms and a family room - share a shower room. There is a further shower room on the ground floor.

The Stable at Gorwel Bryn Hir

Next door in the cute stable annexe, the two-storey accommodation is bright and beautifully presented. A large entrance hall with a handy cupboard for coats leads into a well proportioned sitting room. The sofas are plump and very comfortable - this is a lovely relaxing den.

The contemporary kitchen diner is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, and a farmhouse style dining table to seat five. There are beautiful views down to the sea from bi-folding doors, which open out into the garden. Here, you'll find a terrace and picnic style table for al fresco dining.

Upstairs, you'll find three very decent sized bedrooms - a king size double and a twin bedroom with sea views, and a lovely single bedroom with dormer window. The bedrooms share a family bathroom, which has a shower over bath.

This Georgian country house and stable sleeping eighteen is surrounded by large, sublime grounds, and - as well as a games barn - so there's plenty of room for children to run around and explore. Relax on the veranda at the front of the house to enjoy views of the lawns and woodlands. There are beautiful views of the beach and bay looking across to Harlech and the Rhinogydd mountains beyond.
