  A beautiful house in a fabulous location.

  We loved our stay, thank you. The house has everything you need and is very well presented, while we brought cleaning products, cloths, dishwasher tablets and condiments with us, these were all helpfully and thoughtfully provided - which is rare in our experience. The games room on the ground floor provided numerous board games and table hockey as well as an Xbox, which was a welcome surprise, for entertainment which is great for inclement weather days, which luckily we didn’t have. The house has all mod cons you would need and is tastefully decorated, the one minor gripe was the WiFi wasn’t great but a week off of social media was actually another highlight of our stay! The location is perfect for our needs with beautiful beaches close by (Abersoch, Harlech) as well as the hills, rivers and mountains of snowdonia on your doorstep. Overall, we had a fabulous holiday and the house definitely played a big part in that, and I thought the price was fantastic value for money. We will be back!

  Tremendous property, especially for a family of 6.

  We enjoyed 2 weeks of absolute relax and refresh... Brilliant! The cleanliness of the property was the best we've ever known, and the advantage of two sitting rooms, (one of which has fabulous games and is two floors below the bedrooms) meant that our 3 year old grandchild (and her chosen parent or grandparent!) could rise early in the morning and not wake everyone else up before the sun rose! The bed mattresses are soft and the house well furnished, even the weather was excellent on several days... raining mainly only at night. Internet speed is very good - 2 of our party had to have zoom meetings with colleagues, no problems and great bandwidth. Social media access seems to be unavailable through internet, but was easily catered for by good 4G signals on our phones. Sea views from the rear and a 3 minute walk into the town, with two fabulous cafes, a fabulous restaurant and a further 5 or 6 minutes to the beach... Brilliant. Already booked our return.

  The location is excellent with everything you need within a few minutes walk.

  Parking was never a problem. Overall we found the cottage to be very clean and comfortable. The upstairs is particularly well designed with real-world use in mind - enough space to open cases and plenty of hanging space for clothes. Mirrors in suitable places and lots of plug sockets. The beds were fairly comfortable and there are blackout curtains. The shower is very good and there is a shaver socket. Downstairs the kitchen is fairly well equipped and most of the furniture comfortable and usable, but the gate-leg dining table is totally unsuitable and we found we couldn't use it at all without sustaining bruises or sitting side saddle. We ended up eating off trays on the sofa. Outside there are 2 garden tables and the larger has a similar problem - it's impossible for adults to sit at comfortably because there is a bar across at knee height. It's a pity these easily resolved issues let down what is otherwise a fantastic cottage.

  It was great location and very comfortable and well equipped and stocked dwelling.

  Didn't need to buy anything extra. Great welcoming touch to have milk in the kitchen. Only minor issues. The bed in the master bedroom was creaky and mattress too soft. When two people shared you were both colliding in the middle when you turned over... Likewise in the other bedrooms too. Also the toilet seat needs fixing in the en-suite. Had to turn off all the plug-in air freshners as it is not suitable for all customers, especially for those with asthma and allergy. Late check-in was unexpected despite the Covid as when we booked it still had 4pm on the website and to be informed 48 hours later to 6pm and 9am check-out was very disappointing indeed. Especially when nothing had changed as far as Covid status was concerned...

  Lovely house in a spectacular spot.

  We had a wonderful time at Awelfryn over Easter. From the welcome pack and beautifully clean interior, to the sea views and lambs gambling on the hillside at the back of the house, we absolutely loved it. Criccieth is a lovely place to wander around, the beach and castle are a short walk away from the property and our children were perfectly happy to explore the rock pools every day with a bucket and spade. However, we did manage to explore a bit further afield with Portmeirion, Black Rock Sands and Caernarfon castle all just a short drive. Big thank you to the owners for their communication and much appreciated extra touches that made our holiday so special.
