This beautiful coastal country house is the perfect setting for a big family get-together or 'big birthday' celebration. Essentially C18 in style, it was remodelled by Clough Williams-Ellis in the 1940s and upgraded more recently for residential courses. We're exclusive agents for letting the property in between the teaching and writing courses held there. Walk to Cricieth for the famous castle and some sandy beaches, or a five-minute walk to the village with a family-friendly community-owned pub. Younger children will enjoy the rabbit farm and animal park,to be found in the village, whilst older children and adults would enjoy plenty of adventure at multiple Zip World sites, all within easy reach. Note - at this large house the holiday 'base price' includes up to 12 guests already - then the price adjusts above that number up to a maximum of 22.
