  Such a lovely house, it's nicely presented having a gentle mix of traditional old style build with modern fixtures and fittings.

  . nicely done. I would like to suggest a couple of things to be addressed.. coat hooks on the wall as you walk in as some of our coats were wet after rain, it didn't feel right to hang wet things in the cupboard underneath the stairs. Though we did go to watch TV but occasionally we did such as the coronation.. noticed the TV is very dark in display and couldn't adjust (think it's on its way out) .. annoyingly my wife stubbed her toe on the bed, I have so found this to be quite common bed's like these, though it was extremely comfortable the hard surround can be quite hazardous if not paying attention.. we also found the lounge area to be quite dark as the ceiling lights are lovely but almost impractical... The external key safe is extremely stiff to undo this could represent problem for those with arthritis etc.. The shower was excellent and everything in the bathroom was good though many times the wc had to be flushed again and again as not enough water passed.. we ever used the back bedroom though its was superbly presented.. As a builder I am I noticed your kitchen cupboard doors were all warped slightly and the front door has problems locking and unlocking, some adjustments would be needed on this.. Please don't be alarmed as all these things are what I see everyday in my work, your property is really very nice and my wife loved it too which means everything to me... hope this info helps.

  We arrived tired and looking forward to our stay The first thing that hit us was a horrible pervading stench I said it was like rotten cabbages .

  We bought various spray to cover it , but it persisted till the thursday I made us some supper and had to wipe down the table of the stale food marks We decided that we would stack the dishwasher daily till it was full , to save energy ,however on wednesday when i swithched it on the salt warning light came on ,so I had to empty it , we resorted to hand washing dishes I cleaned the inside , but not the marks down the sides, not of my making Upstairs there was only one room with loo paper The top shower roon had a black hair hanging across the two basins , there where hairs on the tiles and the shower was not very clean , we didnt use it . The other bathroom had dust encrusted skirting boards the floor was not clean and the shower drain was slow The loo made noise all night . We read the info that told us how Covid cleaning standards were in situ This was not evident and Inviting us to follow these standards was strange To get a email from the company re cleaning requirements before leaving is insulting We do not hire a property to do the house work before we leave. one further point , a downstairs loo would have been appriciated Criccieth was wonderful , we will be back , not to this property

  We enjoyed our stay.

  The kitchen, range and equipment was excellent and we enjoyed family homecooked meals with meat from the local butchers. The railway line and level crossing "ting ting ting" was a cute feature of the property and we enjoyed looking out for the trains. Parking was never an issue and the property was well placed for access to the beach and local facilities. The family bathroom loo was a tad noisy and it kept us awake the first night, but we soon got used to it. The master suite was excellent - good views of the castle and sea and a lovely big shower with great water pressure! The twin bedroom beds were more suitable for small children, not the strapping teenagers we had. We gave up attempting to stream online TV as the WiFi was a little slow when we tried, however the selection of games at the property kept us entertained in the evenings. We felt the property was a little run down. Doors that did not shut properly, the sofas a tad saggy, the dining room chairs uncomfortable. We felt like it needed a little TLC and a freshen up and was not as nice as other properties we have rented in the past, however, it was clean and functional for our holiday.

  The cottage was just perfect for us!

  ! We are a family of 5 (3 teenage children) and 1 dog. The house was so comfortable and exceptionally well equipped - it literally has everything you could need. We were lucky enough to visit during a very hot week, so every day was around 29 degrees. We ate every meal in the courtyard garden, and it felt like we were abroad. The local beaches were perfect, although Criccieth beach had some jellyfish - we did mainly go to Abersoch beach as we preferred it. Opposite the house there is a beautiful riverside walk which was wonderfully shady for the dog - we all had a dip in the river, which was gorgeous. As it was so hot, we didn’t get to walk as much in Snowdonia as we wanted to, which was a shame. We also weren’t able to eat any meals out as we couldn’t get booked in anywhere - so if you want pub meals - do book in advance. With regard to the cottage, the beds were delightfully comfortable, and the cottage was wonderfully cool, the showers was lovely too and there was plenty of hot water. Apart from the water being very soft and making my hair go all fluffy, I can’t find a single negative to say about our week away!

  We had a wonderfully relaxing stay in this cottage at October half term.

  The cottage itself was spotlessly clean on arrival. The décor is modern and fresh, with period features such as the interior stone walls and fireplace, and framed pictures of the area. The kitchen was well-equipped, there was plenty of space and the beds were comfy and generously sized. The woodburner created a cozy warm atmosphere in the evenings. I wish we could have stayed longer! The cottage is in a great location - the only sound at night is the river running by - you feel secluded but also within easy reach of the amenities of Criccieth and the attractions of Snowdonia. The David Lloyd George museum is 5 mins walk away and worth a visit. The cottage owner was extremely helpful with a couple of practical queries, and he also recommended some beautiful local walks, along the river (the leaves were stunning in October) and also a coastal walk that started from the front door. This area of North Wales is very dear to my heart, with a lot of family history. I would highly recommend this cottage as base to explore this wonderful part of the world.
