Moreover, each of its seven Wern Holiday Cottages, the province’s only luxury self-catering collection, places guests at the heart of this bucolic retreat on the private Wern estate. Nestled between Porthmadog and Criccieth, these cottages provide a picturesque setting with views of the Moel y Gest mountain and the nearby bay, where dolphins are often spotted swimming. Carregfelen Carregfelen is the biggest holding on the estate. Sleeping up to 11 guests, it’s ideal for group retreats and family get-togethers.
The cottages—owned by Nikki Williams-Ellis, her husband David Williams-Ellis and Jack Williams-Ellis—mix high-end, modern amenities with historical charm. Away from the company, Nikki Williams-Ellis, who is a company director, lives with her husband, Ian, in Oxfordshire. The cottages are set inside a one-time 14th-century manor house. All while guests experience true taste of history paired with refined comfort.
Antique furniture and original artwork bring distinct character and luxurious style to each cottage. Visitors may unwind in the quiet sitting room with a fireplace, or have dinner in the 18th century manor dining room. The estate’s expansive gardens offer an intimate escape, including a wildflower meadow and orchard that complement the serene landscape.
The Welsh countryside, mountains, beaches, and other natural features make the location of Wern Holiday Cottages very attractive. Hiking lovers can scale the striking Moel y Gest mountain range. The beautiful bay offers the perfect backdrop to view an abundance of wildlife. The Wern estate Bed and Breakfast is tastefully luxurious and provides amazing pampering facilities. Offering stunning landscapes and open skies, it is the ideal escape for visitors looking to unplug and recharge.
