Morfin, Gwynedd

Morfin is a very comfy holiday house, with gorgeous views towards Moel y Gest. Once the home of former Prime Minister David Lloyd George, who lived at Morfin from the age of 16 for ten years. As a solicitor he had his first office in what is now the dining room! Enjoy the views of the sea and Moel y Gest from the bay window in the relaxed sitting room, where you will find comfy chairs, plenty of books and a good selection of CDs, and a TV with DVD player. The sitting room opens into the dining room with a glass topped table and chairs, and French windows open into the small but sweet garden. There is a step up to the long galley kitchen with electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge with ice box and microwave. Next door the utility room has a washing machine and dishwasher and a door out to the garden. There are three bedrooms, all with a small TV. The double room has lovely calm colours and the most wonderful view across the bay to Moel y Gest and the hills beyond. The twin room has 2'6" beds which are suitable for children. The comfy little chair on the landing is just the place to sit and daydream, or spend an hour or two reading some of the interesting collection books on David Lloyd George, the only Welsh Prime Minister and 1st Earl of Dwyfor! There are two steps down to the bathroom with bath, separate shower, loo and wash hand basin. Go upstairs again to another lovely double bedroom, with even more magnificent views. Tucked away is a very neat little wet room with loo and wash hand basin. Outside, there is a small pretty terraced garden with table and chairs. Although the garden is enclosed, it isn't dog proof and young children should also be supervised. Within a short walk from Morfin you can enjoy Criccieth's interesting individual shops, galleries, good restaurants and cafes. One of the best fish and chip shops in North Wales is just up the road, as is the famous Cadwalader's Ice Cream shop. Morfin is peaceful, calm and relaxing, with soft colours and interesting bits and bobs. I love the lamp in the dining room and the David Lloyd George corner on the landing where you can sit and admire the view or quietly read a book. A comfy house in a delightful Victorian seaside town.
