Seafront B&B for Sale in the Beautiful Town of Criccieth, North Wales

for sale May 28, 2025

If you’ve been dreaming about running your own B&B with sea views and a solid reputation, this could be the one.

Louise and Mark, who took my B&B Academy course and went on to run a successful guesthouse, are now selling their beautiful Awel Mor Bed and Breakfast in Criccieth, North Wales.

It’s a fantastic chance to step into an already thriving business in a sought-after coastal location.

Awel Mor – A Turn-Key B&B with Sea Views

Right on the seafront in the charming town of Criccieth, Awel Mor offers:

  • Nine guest rooms (eight currently used), many with sea views
  • A cosy guest lounge with a log burner
  • Breakfast room/bar area and a front patio overlooking the sea
  • A spacious two-bedroom owner’s apartment with sea views
  • A 9.6 rating on Booking.com and 4.9 on TripAdvisor
  • Named “Most Welcoming Guest House” in 2023

The B&B runs for eight months of the year, giving new owners flexibility – whether you want to increase income or enjoy more downtime.

Criccieth itself is a gem. Set between mountains and sea, with a castle, great walking routes, and easy access to Snowdonia and Portmeirion, it draws a steady stream of guests all year round.

Louise and Mark’s B&B Journey

"Karen's B&B Academy course is a brilliant and well thought out course with ample information in helping you purchase and run a successful B&B. The people that were on the course are all in the same position and having the B&B Facebook page really helped at times with tips and ideas. The course and paperwork involved helped us so much in setting us up to buy and then run a B&B. Karen is always there for advice anytime of the day and the passion Karen has for helping and teaching people achieve their dream is fantastic."

Lou and Mark bought the business in 2019 and have invested in upgrades, particularly in the owner’s accommodation and guest facilities. The result is a warm, welcoming space with strong repeat trade and great reviews.
