Enfys

Thank you for the effort you put in to make Enfys such an amazing place to stay at.

We were all thoroughly impressed and wouldn’t change a thing. Totally brilliant!

The house is in a beautiful location, sea views from the front windows are amazing.

All the rooms are spacious and well cared for. The kitchen is very well equipped and beautiful art and craft work throughout the house.

Absolutely lovely house, with amazing views over the sea.

Well appointed and the host has obviously given thought to how the house will be used, supplying lots of books, games, DVDs etc for rainy days. Enfys is situated at the foot of Criccieth Castle on the road directly opposite from the sea. We enjoyed several seaside walks. Its a great location and there's lots of space in the house to unwind and chill on rainy days. We spent one or two evenings in the first floor parlour sat at the bay window chilling to the sight and sounds of waves crashing below.

The house is furnished and equipped to a high level and totally met our needs.

It is also very sound value. There were five of us (the accommodation could comfortably take 10) and the price was still extremely competitive.

We had a wonderful stay at Enfys!

Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations - thank you!

We had a wonderful time at Enfys as an extended family.

The accommodation is excellent, spacious and clean. There is plenty of crockery, cutlery and big pans for a large group too. It's a lovely location on Marine Terrace, 3 bedrooms face onto the sea and both lounges too. Listening to the sea at bedtime is very relaxing. Outdoor seating to the front and back give more space to spread into. Hope to visit again in the future.

Excellent location, facilities were brilliant, there was information pamphlets maps ang guide books on a range of activities and places to visit.

We had a wonderful week at Enfys.

The property is very comfortable, the facilities are excellent and the owners were extremely helpful. We are booking for next year.

We had a few days here with friends.

It was the perfect stay with everything provided that we needed.The house was very tastefully decorated and the views of the sea are magnificent .Criccieth is a lovely place with all the amenities we needed. We would definitely stay again!

The house was lovely.

It was welcoming, comfortable and clean, with plenty of room for us all. It was very well equipped, with lots of little extras so that you have everything you need for your holiday. The location is perfect, we sat outside at the front of the house for breakfast each morning, which was very comfortable, with cushions provided, and watched the dolphins. We would recommend Enfys to anyone and we would love to return sometime, Thankyou.

We had the most wonderful week in Enfys.

The house was absolutely perfect, everything has been thought through meticulously. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need - we cooked every night including making pizzas and cakes. The house was absolutely spotless, a phenomenal feat for a house of that size in the turn around period. The view from the upstairs lounge is stunning and the perfect place to work from home for a few days! We saw porpoises swim past and seals basking on the rocks. The seaside theme made the house feel so homely and we loved exploring the different coastal paths so close to the house. Thank you so much for a magical week and we can't wait to return - we've already booked for next year!

We have stayed at Enfys before, very lovely stay both times.

Very well equipped, but felt like this time the property was not as clean, downstairs toilet door had splatters of dirt. When the children moved the toy boxes in the games room there was a thick layer of dirt behind, and there was crumps and bits under the dinning table and lounge sofas. Otherwise would highly recommend, lovely stay and would stay again.

A perfect holiday home, Enfys has everything you could possible need for a comfortable stay.

The house is well equipped, clean and spacious. The views of the bay are spectacular and we spotted dolphins most days and not forgetting the resident sea lion basking on his rock in the evening sun. Parking along the road is very busy but even with three cars we always managed to find spaces nearby.

A wonderful holiday location on terrace on the seafront.

Large well resourced property, lovely large rooms, great kitchen and dining room and what views. Perfect place to stay, even saw dolphins in the bay. Highly recommended.

My family has been visiting Criccieth for over 80 years, myself for nearly 40 and this is the best house we've ever stayed in.

We've already booked for next year! Jeremy our host was super helpful and the space is just fantastic.

Perfect!

! We loved everything about our stay in this beautiful house in the perfect location. We could not have asked for more, the house has everything you could possibly need and is right on the beach front. We saw dolphins every day, the weather was beautiful and we loved sitting on the middle floor in the lounge with a cup of tea watching the ocean or out the front in the sunshine with breakfast. Also the house is a great location with lots of beautiful places to visit in the surrounding areas, we can’t wait to come back.

This is our fourth stay at Enfys and we can't recommend it enough.

The house is in such a lovely location with stunning sea views. You have everything you need at the property. It's beautifully furnished, each bedroom has a theme and the beds are super comfy. Everyone in Criccieth is super friendly and the surrounding areas are very picturesque with great activities for little ones. We can't wait to visit again!

Excellent facilities and a great property which has everything.

The most amazing house - perfect in every way.

Ideal location for exploring Criccieth and surrounding area. Beautiful views from 1st floor window the perfect place to drink morning tea (with a cheeky biscuit!). Overall a very well equipped, clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated house the perfect place to stay with friends and family. Thank you

This holiday home is exceptional, incredible location and the owners have carefully considered every detail to ensure you have everything you need for an enjoyable stay.

We ventured into the mountains, explored the beaches of the Lyn peninsula and hung out at the house and in the town .. all in February :-) The owners went out of their way to help us with enquiries. Thank you so much for making our holiday in Criccieth perfect.

Enfys is a beautifully decorated large home which feels very comfortable.

Indeed some of the photos don’t do justice to the size of the rooms and the beautiful views onto the sea. Also the room arrangement is not adequately described on the spec as part of the house (the kitchen and the first king size bedroom with shower over bath) are part of an extended back to the house. The kitchen is really well equipped, very big, everything you need, plentiful crockery and with a utility room and downstairs toilet at the back. We did use both ovens but one door on the left hand oven did start to close on you whilst removing food so needed someone to hold it open to avoid burns (we learned the hard way). The bedroom above is down a long corridor but if you ignore this there is a turn on the landing and three stairs to continue up into the main house where the smaller double bedroom with walk in shower and upper sitting room are located. This upper sitting room is the nicest room in the house due to the light, sea views and recliner chairs in the windows, plus it has no TV which allows some peace away from the melee of the rest of the household - assuming no one is playing the table football! Up again is the beautiful master bedroom and en-suite with roll top bath. Up further ‘less deep’ stairs to the top floor are two kings, one twin and a bathroom. These rooms are a little smaller and the bath does not get sufficient hot water for washing leading some of our party to need to borrow others bathrooms. I note that this was discussed in an earlier review. The heating was great throughout the house and there were some blankets provided should anyone need to wrap up in the evening. Overall the light was lovely in the house and many old fixtures and fittings preserved which added to the overall feel of the house. I wouldn’t recommend filling the house to capacity but it housed the 8 of us that could make it for Christmas very adequately. The house was wonderfully decorated for Christmas and there was a very welcome, welcome pack awaiting us on arrival. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful and were very ready to offer text support. Being right on the sea front meant that we could all get out for a breath of fresh air even over the Christmas weather with some days of rough seas and others with sun and calm. Parking was busy (a lot had the same idea about Christmas by the sea) but we didn’t have any trouble parking close to or beside the property. It will be lovely to return in the warmer months. Were it not for the hot water issue at the top of the house and the oven door I would have given 5* with no problem.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful cottage for my Nain's birthday.

The location was peaceful and scenic, perfect for a relaxing family getaway. The cottage was cosy, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It provided the perfect setting for our celebration. We would definitely recommend this cottage!

Beautiful well equipped home for the 10 of us - it had everything we wanted/needed.

Beautifuls views and scenery all around and lovely village with plenty of shops, takeaways and pubs. We had a lovely week and would definitely recommend to any friends and family visiting the area. Thank you!

Beautiful presented home from home.

Perfect for our family to stay in, everything we needed was provided. We loved the views of the sea from the windows, and we could hear the sea at night too, so relaxing. Always found enough car parking outside the house even with our four cars. Cricceith is a lovely small town with great places to eat, lovely bakery and butchers as well as independent other shops.

The shower temperature on the top floor could not be turned down.

The water was scalding, therefore could not be used, which defeated the idea of that floor being for families. The adults couldn't use it never mind the children. Also, the front bedroom windows could not be opened. Everyone tried! Made it very hot at night. Tried a fan, but the two in the house were very noisy. Apart from the above we had a lovely stay and would definitely come back (if the above is sorted). Fabulous location. Loved it.

A fantastic holiday!

Enfys is the perfect holiday home, wonderfully furnished, super comfy beds, sea views and so much room! The welcome hamper is such a lovely touch. It's a great base for Criccieth and the surrounding area including the rabbit farm which is just down the road in a really picturesque location. Car parking is ample in front of the property. Would highly recommend.

great house lovely views perfect for our group loads of local places to eat and very good too.

Had a super holiday.

Great location matched by excellent facilities.

Everything you need for a family holiday. Very comfortable and wonderfully equiped

Excellent seafront base satisfying all our needs.

Ideal for walking, close to Snowdonia and the Lyn Peninsula. Splendid chippies and the wonderful restaurant ‘Poachers’ on the Main Street. Great butcher and bakery, and not too far from 3 supermarkets in Porthmadog.

Fabulous holiday home, we had a wonderful week there.

Very spacious house, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, lots of board games, books and area guides, spectacular views, fantastic location. We have been staying in cottages in Wales for 16 years and this is one of the best we've stayed in, it's very homely and everything has been thought of for a comfortable stay. We had a beautiful welcome basket too on arrival which was a lovely surprise and milk and butter in the fridge. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for a lovely week, we would love to return.

The accommodation is excellent, lovely and clean with a well equipped kitchen.

There is plenty of literature about days out and what is going on in the local area.

Very well equipped property, lovely welcome pack and card.

All enjoyed our stay and made good use of the pool table. Lots to do locally, beautiful coastal and inland walks. Could never tire of sitting in the first floor lounge watching the sea and the sky whatever the weather outside.

The house is fab it has everything we needed our only problem is the amount of rubbish 12 people generate while on holiday we eat and drink more and the bins only get emptied every 3 weeks and the green bin was 3/4 full wen we got there and one set of the recycling bins were completely full and the cleaning team forgot to come and put them out so we were having to go to the tip on our holiday with rubbish.

We also left 3 bin bags full of recycling cans and cardboard the lovely Sarah said she’d take them to the tip for us. When you have up to 12 people in a house most weeks you should be paying each week for your bins to be emptied ready for your next guests. it’s only £12.50 to get a bin emptied that’s not a lot considering how much we pay to stay there. I believe this is something that needs consideration.

We had the best long weekend staying at enfys.

We we’re all very sad to be leaving. We cannot wait to come back next year. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Criccieth we couldn’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A fabulously extensive property in a wonderful location.

It was very well equipped and comfortable and we would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Beautiful house, tastefully decorated.

A lovely stay.

Another absolutely fantastic stay at Enfys.

All the en suite bedrooms spread across the floors were perfect for our large family group. We particularly love the location of the house, right by the sea, with stunning views from all the rooms at the front, and the very large spaces inside the house were much appreciated. We spent most of our time in the downstairs front room but also enjoyed the upper front room - especially the new reclining chairs! It’s such a well-equipped house as well - we did a bit of cooking, and the kitchen has everything we needed! So many games and books as well, for the rainy days.

Fabulously positioned house, and one of the best “ decorated” we have ever stayed in!

It’s facing a pebbly beach which was stormy most of our week, but the two lounges have beautifully placed chairs so you can dolphin spot from the windows. There is an amazing array of books about the area and relevant wildlife, huge selection of boxed games, and dvds ( adults and children’s). The kitchen is very well equipped. Huge dining room table, with smaller in kitchen. Great “ master suite” with stand alone bath ( had trouble getting enough hot water to fill) but the grandchildren loved it. A small seating area out back. We had 3 cars and never had trouble parking outside for free. We loved Criccieth- a “real” village, not touristy, but with a fabulous chip shop and ice cream place in walking distance. Lots of stairs especially to the top 3 bedrooms to walk off the food!! Great and very generous welcome pack. Having 2 Lounges would suit mixed age groups ( toddler toys and snooker table in top lounge) but plenty of comfy seating for 10 of us in the downstairs lounge. Recommend this house!

The property was comfortable and very well equipped.

The owners have given a lot of thought to the needs of their visitors when equipping the property. A very enjoyable stay.

A wonderful holiday home, very spacious but homely at the same time.

Well equipped kitchen, all the amenities and lots of games for little ones. The location can't get any better, beautiful sea views, easy access to the beach and 5 mins walk to central Criccieth. A perfect holiday home, it doesn't get better than this!

Lovely sea view and well maintained property.

Walking distance to shops. Parking available outside. Owner responsive to issues. Recommend to others

A great location for walking the coastal path, and visiting local attractions.

House was well equipped and we had a comfortable stay with 3 generations of family. Front terrace was lovely and peaceful, looking directly over the sea,ideal for morning coffee and breakfast. The back court yard offered comfort and privacy late afternoon and evenings. The house was maintained well with many quirky items and pictures that showed that thought and care had gone into making your stay a happy and interesting one. Criccieth itself is a hidden gem, who needs Cornwall,cafes, restaurants a castle, independent retailers and sea activities and with all this the sun shone for the whole week we had a great holiday thank you.

A beautiful holiday house well-suited to family groups.

Lovely thoughtful touches throughout. Our grandchildren were thrilled to discover the stock of books, games and beach equipment that was in place for them to enjoy. Similarly the kitchen was a cook's delight and again was thoughtfully stocked. We were very pleased to discover the excellent and generous welcome pack of goodies! Stylish decorative touches gave a sense of the owner's commitment to creating a special welcoming and fascinating environment. A real sense of the owners wanting guests to enjoy their time in this house was apparent everywhere. Thank you so much. We hope to return very soon.

Criccieth holds a special place in our hearts and Enfy’s exceeded all of our expectations!

We had the most perfect stay here, Lesley was a fab host and dealt with any problems quickly, professionally and was very friendly. The kitchen had everything you could’ve possibly needed and the house had a really cozy, homely feel with lots of quirky touches throughout. All beds were very comfortable and the house was spotless throughout. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to return to this gem on the beachfront!! Thank you!

Superb comfortable property, really well equipped.

Multiple rooms over 4 levels. One of the best large properties in Criccieth. Very helpful and proactive housekeeper with regards to handovers and problem solving. Highly recommend.

Lovely property and nice band large for na big family group.

Lots of nice touches in the decoration and provided things like toys for small children. The only thing that was difficult is the leaving by 10.00am with 2 small children. l realise this is the same with most Sykes properties. I would highly recommend it and definitely go again.

The guest notes said that the housekeeper would sort out the bins for rubbish collection but the bins were full when we arrived and only the green bin was emptied during the week.

The blue bins were full to overflowing when we left along with the 2 x waste food bins. One of which was full when we arrrived. We had a problem with the top floor shower and the kichen tap was leaking but the plumber fixed them on the Monday. But a lovely property in a great location with wonderful views.

Thanks for an amazing stay!

We loved every aspect of the house - it’s beautifully decorated, really well kitted out and so comfortable. The views from the rooms at the front are awesome. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Marine Terrace is the perfect location in Criccieth, right on the sea front so a couple of steps and you’re on the beach! Excellent beach kit provided (beach chairs, umbrella, fishing nets). We were lucky enough to see dolphins and seals at sea in front of the house. There is also a lovely table and chairs at the front, where we would eat breakfast and watch the world go by. Most of the bedrooms are en suite - and spread over three floors - so perfect for mixed groups. We hardly heard a sound from above / below. Very safely conscious too - with fire doors and a pretty sophisticated looking fire alarm system. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this house and we are already looking for visiting again! Diolch yn fawr iawn!

We were a party of 8 and came to Enfys for 5 days to celebrate a 60th birthday.

As soon as we walked through the door we were all blown away by how beautiful and well appointed the house was. The kitchen was a good size and was well equipped with everything one might need for a comfortable stay. The welcome pack of bread, butter, jams, milk, Welsh cakes and Prosecco was a lovely touch and a nice surprise. The house was very spacious and beautifully furnished and decorated. The pool table on the 2nd floor was great fun and the wildlife books and binoculars were great for dolphin watching through the big windows. We had a small issue with the electrics during our stay, but the owner came almost straight away to sort it out. Enfys is in a perfect position in Criccieth being right on the seafront and a short walk from the pubs, shops and restaurants. We all loved our stay and will definitely be back

A lovely house - very well kitted out, We cooked for the majority of our stay and were very happy with the cooking facilities, cutleries and implements provided.

The location is great with the beach just outside the doorstep (literally), and many other beautiful sandy beaches within a short driving distance. The house also left plenty of walking books and information on places to visit. It was really useful to have the camping chairs and fishing nets that were left for use. The house has a wide selection of DVDs (including a large selection suitable for children), and many family games, as well as toys and reading books for the little ones. It felt like we were having a stay over at someone's home for a couples of weeks. Really thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Marvellous property, ideal situation.

Easy for parking. Good walking.

We thoroughly enjoyed our second visit to this lovely property.

It has everything we could wish for and is in an ideal location. We will return !!

Gorgeous property on the seafront; one of the nicest places we've ever stayed.

Very comfortable for 7 people. The kitchen was well-stocked, the oven is great, and all it was missing was wooden spoons! The owner had put careful thought into Christmas decorations, and everything felt very seasonal. We especially liked the tree with sea creature ornaments. The only note is that the top floor sleeps 6 with only one bathroom. The next publicly available bathroom is on the ground floor, but that has no shower, so full occupancy would be uncomfortable bathroom-wise.

We had a superb long weekend at Enfys and would definitely return.

The location is perfect - what a view! And close enough to walk easily to the local shops and restaurants plus lovely beach walks right from the door. The house is beautiful, we felt so special staying in such a gorgeous home, and it had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay, we’ll be back

A beautiful well equipped property in an excellent location

Enfys is a lovely house in an ideal location.

We found the property to be spacious, comfortable and clean. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. We didn't want to leave, and hope to return in the not too distant future.

Enfys is a wonderful homely house in Cricceth, in a perfect location for exploring the Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia, and amazing views.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The property is well appointed and well equipped especially in the kitchen.

The home is spacious with two enormous living rooms, In addition to the kitchen diner at the rear of the property. This is especially useful with a large group if the welsh weather is not being particularly kind. The location is unbelievable, south facing and right on the sea front with uninterrupted views across Cardigan Bay. Criccieth is also a great starting point for coastal walks, bike rides to Caernarfon and as a base to explore Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsular. Most importantly, the house is beautifully furnished and accessorized, indeed it felt like home. .
