Step into Muriau-Bach and instantly feel yourself exhale.
Your journey begins, in this pet friendly property in the entrance porch/utility room, the perfect spot to kick off muddy boots after a ramble in the fields (or sneakily hide all those ‘essential’ beach purchases). With a washing machine and tumble dryer ready for action, you can pack light and stay fresh - whether it's sandy towels or walking gear that needs some TLC.
From here, wander into the heart of the cottage: a spacious and airy kitchen-diner. Sage green cabinetry, sturdy wooden worktops, and a rustic farmhouse table create a warm, inviting atmosphere - as if the room itself is offering you a cup of tea and a biscuit. Large windows bathe the space in natural light, and every detail invites slow mornings and hearty breakfasts.
The living room is a cosy delight, complete with beautiful exposed beams, leather sofas made for sinking into, and a roaring wood burner to keep you toasty during cooler Welsh evenings. (A quick note: the steep staircase you’ll spy in the corner is purely decorative - it's not in use by guests.)
The generously sized king-size bedroom continues the peaceful country vibe with calming colours, charming details, and plenty of built-in storage. In the bathroom, you’ll find a sleek large walk-in shower, a smart WC, and a stylish vanity area - the perfect set-up for reviving after a long day of adventuring.
Outside, the stone-flagged private courtyard is your sun-drenched sanctuary. Enjoy leisurely al fresco lunches, romantic sunset suppers, or simply a glass of something chilled as you gaze over the rolling fields dotted with sheep - your only real neighbours. Please keep your dog on a lead at all times due to the farm animals around the property.
Nestled on a working farm on the outskirts of the peaceful hamlet of Rhoslan, Muriau-Bach offers that rare mix of proper countryside seclusion with easy access to local hotspots.
A short drive whisks you into the charming seaside town of Criccieth, where you’ll find sandy beaches, historic castles, cosy pubs, and ice cream worth writing home about. Meanwhile, the awe-inspiring landscapes of Eryri (Snowdonia National Park) and the iconic summit of Yr Wyddfa are right at your fingertips, promising adventure for all levels of intrepidness.
Whether you're planning brisk coastal walks, mountain summits, lazy beach days or simply some well-earned lounging, Muriau-Bach is the perfect base for your North Wales escape.
Set on a working farm surrounded by peaceful fields, Muriau-Bach sits just outside the rural hamlet of Rhoslan, offering a true taste of Welsh country life - sheep, tractors and spectacular sunsets included.
Despite the tranquil setting, you're only a short drive from the Victorian seaside charm of Criccieth, where a dramatic castle looms over sandy beaches and a vibrant town centre bustles with independent shops, cafes and restaurants.
Further afield, the Italianate fantasy village of Portmeirion, the steam railways of Porthmadog, and the hiking and biking trails of Eryri are all within easy reach. And of course, Yr Wyddfa itself is ready and waiting for the bold (or those just happy to admire it from a pub garden).
Take the turning towards Criccieth of the A497. Once in Criccieth turn right on to the B4411 towards Rhoslan, approx 3.2 miles. You will pass through Rhoslan. (Our entrance is opposite Rhiwafon, Rhoslan LL52 0NR). After a sharp left turn the road straightens out, look out for Muriau-Bach on your right, turning right over a cattle grid up the drive way. You have arrived!
