Finest Retreats | Cefn Castell

Perched on a cliff near Criccieth, amidst the stunning coastal landscape, you'll find Cefn Castell, an extraordinary clifftop retreat with breath-taking views overlooking Cardigan Bay. This futuristic marvel, once featured on the renowned television series Grand Designs, promises a truly unique holiday experience.

Cefn Castell captures attention with its sleek design, showcasing the innovative architecture and visionary concept behind this remarkable property. Large expanses of glass adorn much of the downstairs, allowing you to soak in the stunning cliff-top sea views. The master bedroom and bathroom offer spectacular coastal vistas, with access to a roof terrace. More recently, the home was even featured in the opening episode of "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here."

With 2000 sq. ft. of space, every room boasts coastal scenes, seamlessly integrating the internal and external environments. The heart of the home lies in its open plan living and dining area, where expansive glass frontage provides uninterrupted views of the seascape. The fully equipped kitchen invites those culinary enthusiasts to create memorable meals against a backdrop of natural beauty.

Featuring three bedrooms, each with a king-size bed—two on the lower floor and one on the first floor—along with three modern bathrooms, Cefn Castell offers luxurious accommodation for a restful stay away.

Nestled within a Site of Special Scientific Interest and adjacent to the Welsh Coastal path, you’ll have convenient access to the beach, situated just a short stroll from the charming seaside town of Criccieth. Here, you'll discover a treasure trove of local amenities, from quaint shops to friendly pubs and excellent restaurants.

Please be aware the house is situated on a 12m high cliff and whist there is a hedge and fencing surrounding the property, this maybe unsuitable for families with small children. For bookings and more information, please contact Finest Retreats.

Lovely views
Fantastic location and surroundings. House is great and views are amazing particularly from upstairs. Peaceful place As others have said the track leading to the house isn’t great and is very bumpy. A low car would struggle particularly after it has rained. Blinds would make a big difference to quality and feeling secure. Otherwise everything is perfect. Worth a visit if not for the views alone.

This place is a gem and as spectacular as it looks in the images!!!
We had an amazing stay and will surely be coming back. We are already missing this amazing place and we can't wait to come back! Just a couple of minor point to keep in mind that there are no curtains andblinds so it gets bright early in the bedrooms in the morning. There are no privacy issues as the property is completely secluded however. The farm road that leads to the property can be a bit challenging for sports cars with low ground clearance.
