  A lovely little cottage!

  It was just perfect for me and my Jack Russell dog. The bed was so comfortable, the bathroom is big and spacious with a huge walk-in shower area and the kitchen has everything you need. The property’s located on the main street through Criccieth but the effective double glazing keeps any traffic noise to a minimum (in fact I hardly noticed any at all). There are double yellow lines immediately outside the cottage BUT you can park on the opposite side of the road for loading and unloading your stuff for up to an hour Mon-Sat between 9am and 5pm (and for as long as you want outside of those hours). The parking pass which is provided for the town’s main car park is so handy, and the car park is literally just 4 minutes walk away through a cut-through alleyway. As someone who likes the freedom of self-catering but without the catering, well it’s just perfect! Just 20 yards to the left is Spice Bank Indian restaurant which does takeaways, Allports fish and chip shop is opposite as is the China Palace takeaway, and the Prince of Wales pub is just a bit further down the road - it’s very dog friendly and I ate here two different nights and I can say that the food is EXCELLENT! And if the urge for a quick pint grabs you at any time, the Bryn Hir Arms is right opposite - this pub is also dog friendly, there’s a large outdoor seating area for in the good weather like which I enjoyed on my stay but it doesn’t serve food. For a single traveller or a couple this property is just perfect if you’re looking for a base from which to explore the beautiful Llŷn Peninsula but with full facilities (shops, eating places etc) right on hand. I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit the area.

  We have just returned from a week at Llawenfan cottage.

  The listing was fairly accurate and I am aware everyone's tastes differ. However,we found the cottage wasn't really comfortable for us. I will cover the good points first. The bathroom is nice and large and modern. Plenty of room to put your toiletries. The shower is a large walk in waterfall which is lovely. The bed was large and comfortable. T.V has a good selection of channels and options. The kitchen pans are of exceptional quality. Unfortunately the cottage smells strongly of dog, downstairs when you walk in. The sofa isn't very comfortable, and the velux windows in the kitchen are filthy. There was very little provided upon arrival. Hardly any hand wash left, no welcome pack, two small toilet rolls, no toiletries whatsoever, towels are small and thin. Only two dishwasher tabs for a week's stay. A blanket would be nice for using in colder months when sat downstairs. The pillows are very lumpy. The bathroom window does not open. Property is right opposite the pub on the main road and is very noisy, especially at the weekend. Cottage is also very dark. Parking was fine however, if a little inconvenient for unloading and loading the car. I will be paying more next time for a better equipped stay.

  You failed to uphold my complaint despite the validity of it.

  The response from the owner was worrying as she was unaware that a description I used about the outside seating area was hers. Apparently her husband met us and we failed to mention our complaint. Totally untrue. They would have investigated if aware despite a lady on reviews highlighting the sane complaints in September and patently have not rectified it My major problem is the parking.In your response denying my request for reimbursement you suggest that I should have left the engine running whilst we unloaded and that you wouldn’t expect Parking agents ( what about Police) to mind . Condoning and encouraging law breaking is something your Lawyers might be unhappy with. I am in the process of filling in forms with Barclaycard . I intend to take this matter as far as I’m able. Needless to say I’m disappointed with how you have dealt with my complaint and will be in touch with Trust Pilot and other interested parties in due course. Richard Crompton

  Lovely little cottage in a lovely little village.

  The cottage is comfortable and well equipped and I really liked the decor. We couldn't get the oven to work which is a bit of a nightmare when on a self catering holiday, but that's down to the complicated instructions and us clearly not grasping them opposed to the oven not actually working (I pessume?) Book restaurants in advance, we didn't as we didn't appreciate how busy they would be at the end of October, which was a bit of a nightmare considering we couldn't get the oven to work! I would definitely recommend this lovely little cottage though, it's situated perfectly for various areas of North Wales being within a 45 minute to 1 hour drive away.

  Beautiful cosy cottage in the heart of Criccieth.

  The cottage had everything that we needed and is beautifully finished. All amenities are within walking distance from the cottage and beaches are a short walk. Pretty grassed areas just around the corner from the cottage to walk the dogs as there is no garden. The only thing I would suggest is maybe taking your own bath sheets as the towels provided are very small and I like to wrap myself up in my towel when I get out of the shower. Also the provision of a retractable stairgate would help with keeping dogs downstairs. Thoroughly enjoyed our break and will definitely stay at the cottage again. I could quite easily live in it.
