more about Tŷ Newydd
add to favouritesabout the property
Priced for up to 12 staying, sleeps 21. We're proud to be sole booking agents for this Welsh country house estate at Llanystumdwy, near Cricieth, North-West Wales - perfect for a large get-together.
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. For an extra fee, you may enquire with the estate to book a chef and catering for your event.
Walk to Cricieth for the famous castle and some sandy beaches, or a five-minute walk to the village with a family-friendly pub serving homemade meals. Younger children will enjoy the rabbit farm and animal park, and older children will enjoy paintballing and Bear Grylls survival academy, all to be found in the adjacent village.
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 21
