Tucked away in Criccieth - the 'Pearl of Wales' - this off-grid shack bridges the gap between wild nature and quiet comfort. Brew your morning coffee with zero digital noise, and spend your evenings under low-light skies while sheep graze lazily nearby - a gentle reminder of how time can be spent when you're off the 9-to-5 clock. It's a place to properly switch off. But when the outside world starts to call, adventure is never far - Criccieth's storybook castle and beach just ten minutes away, the golden sands and easy charm of beautiful Pwllheli, sweeping stretches of the Llyn Peninsula, and the wild peaks of Snowdonia, all within easy reach.

Dog friendly, sleeps two.

  • 1 hour 40 from Chester
  • 2 hours 20 from Manchester

The nearest station: Criccieth - it's right in the town, so it's just a short taxi ride (a few minutes) from there.

When you arrive, parking is situated off the road and then its a short walk to the shack.

Stay local

Lynx sits just outside Criccieth, a short drive from the town - close enough for an easy trip in, but quiet and tucked away in the Gwynedd countryside.

Criccieth itself

  • Criccieth Castle – 13th-century ruin perched on a headland right above the town, with sweeping views over Cardigan Bay and inland to Snowdonia.
  • Criccieth Beach & Marine Beach – two beaches either side of the castle, great for a walk or rock pooling.
  • Wales Coast Path – runs straight through town; walk it towards Porthmadog for fish and chips by the harbour.
  • Criccieth Lifeboat Station – small volunteer-run station, worth a look if you're down by the beach.

Nearby

  • Portmeirion – the colourful Italianate village made famous by The Prisoner, about 20 minutes away.
  • Llanystumdwy – neighbouring village with the David Lloyd George Museum and grave.
  • Snowdonia (Eryri) – the mountains are right on the doorstep; Snowdon Mountain Railway is around 30–40 minutes' drive.
  • Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways – historic steam lines through the Snowdonia landscape.

At Lynx:
Fencing - Lynx is enclosed for peace of mind, and also within an enclosed field.
Livestock - There are often sheep in the field with the shack, so dogs will need to be on a lead while outside the cabin area itself.
Walks - See the 'What to do in the local area' dropdown for suggestions.

Is there firewood included?
Yes, we supply a big bag of kindling and a big bag of logs. There is plenty for your stay. However, if you think you will be spending a lot of time by the fire pit, then you can purchase unlimited firewood at check-out for £20.
