Llwyn Mafon Isaf

A working-farm welcome near Criccieth

Llwyn Mafon Isaf offers a warm Welsh welcome on a working family farm in peaceful Llŷn countryside, just a few miles from the seaside town of Criccieth. Now run as comfortable, well-equipped accommodation with private hot tubs, it is a relaxing, family-friendly base between the coast and the mountains — a genuine taste of farm life, with the beaches of the Llŷn Peninsula and the dramatic scenery of Snowdonia close at hand.

The accommodation

The farm’s accommodation is beautifully presented and finished to a high standard, with en-suite facilities, underfloor heating and modern, fully equipped interiors — comfortable and welcoming whatever the season. Many guests come for the stunning outlook: there are mountain and sea views to wake up to, a real sense of space, and the quiet of a rural setting. The hot tubs are a lovely touch after a day exploring, and the overall feel is one of relaxed, contemporary comfort in a traditional Welsh farming landscape.

The farm setting and outdoors

This is a genuine fifth-generation working farm, so children love seeing the farm animals, and there is play space and a firepit and barbecue for easy outdoor evenings. The countryside location, between Criccieth and the hills, makes it a peaceful retreat while still being well placed for days out. It is the kind of welcoming, family-run spot where you are looked after, with the owners encouraging guests to book direct for the friendliest service and best rates.
