What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is really lovely and in a very good position.

  However, it could do with a bit of TLC as some of the occasional tables in the lounge with the fire and the wooden chairs in the other lounge had very large cobwebs on them the house also smelt damp when we arrived and when we tried to open the windows found that a number of them were locked and no key available to unlock them and the window in the bathroom has no handle which means that it cannot be opened at all. The beds were very comfy and appeared to have new linen on them. The sofas and dining room were perfect for our party of 6 adults. We had an issue with the shower in the ensuite of the first double bedroom which tripped the mains. We contacted the lady who manages the property and she told us where the fuse box was so we were able to continue using it and she was arranging for an electrician to look at it. We have a couple of suggestions to make that would help future renters - a book in the house with information about the recycling bins snd also where to leave the towels and bedding on the day of departure. Also info for the use of the hob and oven (we were fortunate that one of our party has the same hob and knew how to turn the child lock off otherwise we would have been stuck). Another suggestion is somewhere to hang the towels in the ensuite bathrooms and in one of the ensuites there is no mirror so if somebody needs a wet shave they would have to use the mirror on the wardrobe door in the bedroom which isn't exactly ideal. I would just like to say that despite the issues above we had a very enjoyable few days and would certainly consider booking this property again in the future as its location and views were perfect.

  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.

  Generally I was very pleased with Cwm Eilir.

  I was quite surprised at a slew of negative reviews. I must have been staying at a different property, because I only found much to praise this exceptional house with glorious views over Cardigan Bay. I was very taken with the night time views of Criccieth Castle that was illuminated brilliantly. It was like being immersed in a Medieval fairy tale. Being central to Snowdonia, the house is a walkers' paradise with all the green forests and less taxing trails of Southern Snowdonia within easy reach, and some of the more challenging terrain of the North just up the road. There's plenty of charming towns within 30 minutes drive such as Dolgellau and Caernarfon. The shops are 5 minutes away at Porthmadog. And we would recommend No 46 cafe in Criccieth - it's a popular haunt with lots of freshly made food. Criccieth is a sublime place.The beach is just down the road from the house, which is generally clean. Opening windows will clear any damp smells and most of the linen is more than adequate. There is a footpath right next to the side of the house. To me it's a very good cottage in a 100 star location. If you want to make the most of Snowdonia, this is the place to be.

  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.

  We were supposed to be holidaying in Florida but due to COVID-19 we had to change our plans and stay in the UK instead.

  All I can say is we still had a great time and loved our stay in Cambrian House. We visited Zipworld were we went on the quarry karts. This wasn't cheap but we'd definitely do it again along with the zip wire. The beach is only a short walk from the house with a lovely ice cream shop selling gluten and diary free ice cream. Creccieth Castle is worth a visit, the views from there are simply stunning. The house itself was ideal for our party which was a mixture of age groups from 20-73. The view was great, kitchen had everything we needed, pool table ideal and lovely decking area outside. On booking the house I was a little concerned about the train line in front of the property but I needn't have been as it didn't have any negative impact on us. In fact it was quite a novelty seeing the trains pass by. We'd definitely stay here again and would recommend this house to family and friends.
