Just returned from a lovely week staying in this cottage. We have two small well behaved dogs and this suited us perfectly. All on one level, the cottage was very clean and bright and welcoming. Tea, coffee and a packet of Welsh cakes awaited us plus fresh milk in the fridge. The small lawn and patio was well fenced off so the dogs could potter around safely outside. Criccieth is a lovely town with lots of little independent shops. The cottage is only a short walk from the beach and the castle. We have every intention of returning!

Didn't realise that they still have a on going barn conversion , patio door nearly impossible to lock .. Patio windows needed to be cleaned . living area very nice , & bedrooms good , along with the bathroom . Living area , sofa needed a good clean , under seats very dirty needed hovering . kitchen area , needs a dish washer , oven needed cleaning , still had tin foil with fat in from previous guests on grill tray . Double bedroom , mattress had no protector cover , pillows stained , along with tea / coffee stains on duvet , ( all visible when I stripped bed on leaving , not good . Bathroom very spacious but short on shelves & towel rail . sink started to block up , on inspection plug hole full of hairs ( disgusting ) , along with toilet brush . Overall this property needed a good overall cleaning , maybe start of the season it also needed to be freshened up with a coat of emulsion .

Great holiday home in an excellent location.. Plenty of space including secure outdoor space which meant peace of mind with a 3 year old running about. Nice bathroom and kitchen and comfortable beds. Check in and out all very easy. Only negative points were that the front door was very difficult to figure out how to lock, we spent half an hour fiddling with it until we realised brute force was the only way to do it. It would be great if there was a dishwasher, and bigger towels.

The cottage was great, location ideal, was not bothered in slightest it was near a rail line as its so well sound proofed and besides trains were few and far between.. The view of the castle was fantastic especially at night. The cottage was very comfortable and cosy. Criccieth was a nice place and a good base for exploring Snowdonia.

A spacious and tidy cottage in the center of Criccieth, close by restaurants, pubs and beach. You have your own parking spot next to the cottage.

Fantastic location, lovely cottage, could do with a new lounge and more kitchen utensils.. Would definitely recommend it and would go back.

There were two things wrong with the property.. The settee is very lumpy and the winder to the blind in the bedroom wouldn't work. Not a problem due to the lack of daylight. but could be very annoying during the summer months. The cottage itself is very well presented.

Ms Houlton

Lovely Cottage, comfortable, private parking next to cottage.. Warned that would be noise on Saturday night from nearby pub that was not a problem. The only negative of this property it was difficult to always be able to lock door from outside. Would like to come back again, would recomend.

A lovely property in a good location.. The decoration and amount of space is great. The bedrooms and bathrooms are great and there is lots of space to spread out. The downsides are a difficult to use front door (instructions would improve this), the hob is not level making cooking difficult, the cutlery and crockery are very sparse, there is no vacuum cleaner only a mop, no guest book, and the pub next door plays loud music on a Saturday night outside until very late. The key collection arrangements are inadequate, our key was given to someone else. Having said that we really enjoyed the town, location and the property. With some minor alterations the mark would be higher.

Mr Wilde

The accommodation was nice and roomy, it was a good place to stay but there are issues with an uncomfortable mattress and minor things like cracks in all of the drinking glasses.. We also found pieces of broken glass next to our bed on the floor. The big problem for us was the extremely high levels of music coming from the pub next to us. I have never experienced anything like it before and feel it should be highlighted more to potential customers especially for families with young children like ourselves. We had four nights of uncomfortable loud music that went on until midnight. On the first night I wanted to pack up and leave and on the last Friday night it was awful. We visited so many nice places and enjoyed North Wales but these issues darkened our holiday really and meant that we where tired in the mornings from lack of sleep. We had to witness men urinating against cars out of our kitchen window on the car park also. The barn is great and spacious with all that you need really but we felt that we couldn't leave our windows open for air as it didn't feel safe due to the location next to the car park. If I spend £800 on a weeks accommodation I don't expect to have these issues.

Holiday accommodation light and bright plenty of room for our 2 dogs to run around in.. Lots of plenty of places to eat and drink in walking distance,and you can take your dogs in. could do with new sofa, has it is a bit tired . Could do with some with some more cups and plates. The door to lock is very stiff and only my husband could lock it , hopefully it should be sorted for the next holiday maker's, has reported it to the owner twice now , over all a very pleasant stay thankyou.

Mr Kershaw

The outlook from the cottage is uninspiring, looking out over 2 car parks.. The outside door is very difficult to lock, my wife couldn't do it.. The settee is very tired, cushions are very squashy making it very low. Overall the cottage is very nice, we had a very enjoyable stay.

Location was a dispointment, we were aware it was in the town, but not aware there was a large car park and a railway right behind us.. They could do with simple things like milk jug and sugar bowl, bread in and ironing board although there was an iron. Lovely inside and very clean. I must say a good base for travelling around.

Mrs Woodward

Great barn conversion, plenty of room for my two dog`s (which are two large boarder collie.. We our thinking about booking it again for 2019/

Place was a bit grubby and the bed was awful, if you sleep on the right hand side prepare to fall off the sloping mattress ( before you ask I'm only 10 stone).. Accommodation is light and airy and the rain on the skylights is magical. We didn't notice any noise from the pub and the trains going past we're very loud. If they get a new mattress we would stay again.
