About this property

Beautiful 7 Bedroom 14th Century Manor House with large private gardens

Carregfelen is a beautiful, unusual and quirky 14th Century 7 bedroom Manor House set on its own wooded 2000 acre Estate between Porthmadog and Criccieth on the Llyn Peninsula. Sleeping up to 11 guests, it was extended in the 1920's by the owner's Uncle (Clough Williams-Ellis - Portmeirion), and is full of charm and character. Outside are sloping lawns, a wildflower meadow and orchard which burst with fruit over the summer. Inside are twisty corridors, marvellous antique furniture and staircases that date back to the 1600s. The ancient oak woodlands are a joy to explore. The ground floor comprises a beautifully furnished hall, a cosy sitting room with an inglenook, a magnificent dining room with an oak refectory table and a lovely kitchen. Trot up two steps to find a sitting room for children – sofa, toys, books, TV – and two good bedrooms (one double and one twin). On the upper floors are the rest of the bedrooms, full of character and style, and big old-fashioned bathrooms with up-to-the-minute showers. No need to fight for the views: every room has one. Add to this high speed broadband and contemporary fittings and you won’t want to stray too far.

Carregfelen nestles on the private, leafy Wern Estate on the edge of Snowdonia. This is the gateway to enjoy the very best that the Llyn Peninsua has to offer. The mountains of Snowdonia; the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways; Glorious Castles; Walking, Sailing and Fishing. The delightful seaside town of Criccieth is only minutes away, with its sandy beach and splendid Castle, as is the superb beach at Black Rock. Snowdon is only 35 minutes away - either climb to the summit or take the little railway and enjoy a drink in the new cafe.
Tatler "to see this house on a June evening is enchanting: roses running wild, candles blazing and, of course, those mesmerizing views. A true midsummer night's dream"

Relaxing get away
Great location for exploring this area of Wales, close to great beaches and amenities but rural enough to feel away from it all.

Fantastic house and location and everything was lovely
Great spot to stay - we had enough space for a family of four plus grandparents comfortably and everything needed to make us feel at home. It's a lovely house and the kids loved exploring and discovering the different rooms all furnished comfortably and with charm and history. The weather wasn't super for us so we also enjoyed the fireplaces and cosy feel in the evenings. Lots of great beaches and castles to explore and a few rainy options also. Viv was very welcoming and always happy to help and we felt well looked after. We would definitely consider returning (other than for a very long journey there and back it was ideal). Thank you!

Carregfelen is a really interesting house in a brilliant situation with a wonderful view.
Our whole family were intrigued by the unusual layout of the house with its nooks and crannies, and 'historical' contents just like a mini stately home! A great place for a game of hide-and-seek. Everything was supplied for a successful self-catering holiday, with special appreciation to Vivien for looking after us so well, from the lovely meal she cooked for our arrival, the beautifully laid table in the dining room, enhanced by the candelabras. We had everything we needed to make our first meal so enjoyable, not like the traditional mad scramble. We had plenty of room to spread out. The children each had their own room, and the beds were very comfortable. As far as the kitchen was concerned, all utensils were more then adequate. Plenty of crockery, cutlery and glasses, cooking pans and dishes, double oven and the all-important dishwasher for a family of 10, made our stay all the more enjoyable. It was nice to have Vivien and Anne to do a mid-week clean, even though this was totally unexpected, and to know that Vivien was contactable if we had any problems. She was very friendly and offered help if we needed it. We were lucky with the weather, except for one wet day. Otherwise dry and sunny, but it could have been a little warmer, but this did not stop us getting out and about and seeing the local places of interest. Some of us climbed Snowdon! Altogether a really good holiday.

I am a sculptor and although I live in Oxfordshire, I am very happy to let guests enjoy my home in North Wales. I only ask that they love Carregfelen as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

Carregfelen is the perfect place to enjoy a friends and family get together - to either celebrate a special occasion or just have a fantastic holiday. We are happy to provide a meal ready for arrival or can even cook for you during your stay.

What makes this property unique

The views from Carregfelen are breathtaking - all of the bedrooms have views across the gardens and to the surrounding hills. Although you are totally secluded whilst staying with us we are only a short drive to the pretty seaside town of Criccieth.
