    “Comfortable warm bungalow in a lovely area, but let down due to poor cleaning.”

    Not a good welcome by having a dirty front door mat. Others have mentioned this in the guest book. Only tea and coffee supplied, but no milk. Dining table was sticky and full of crumbs. Edges of wooden bed in main bedroom was full of hairs and dirt. All flooring could have been better cleaned, lots of dirt on and under rug in lounge. No oven gloves, baking sheets, colander. Can opener broken and a bulb left by previous guest wasn’t replaced. Not enough cutlery as only 4 knives. Owner asking to ...

    Not a good welcome by having a dirty front door mat. Others have mentioned this in the guest book. Only tea and coffee supplied, but no milk. Dining table was sticky and full of crumbs. Edges of wooden bed in main bedroom was full of hairs and dirt. All flooring could have been better cleaned, lots of dirt on and under rug in lounge. No oven gloves, baking sheets, colander. Can opener broken and a bulb left by previous guest wasn’t replaced. Not enough cutlery as only 4 knives. Owner asking to put bins out for recycling, but not stating which boxes they go in as all the markings on the boxes are worn out. Also owner asking to strip bedding. Only heard about this during Covid. This was not done as I have never been asked before at any other self catering. Surely this is included in the rental price. Seems like mattress and pillow protectors are not washed each time as these were told to stay on the bed. We didn’t contact the owner about the issues. Before our arrival we contacted Sykes about some reviews online and this took several weeks to get a reply from the owner. Wi-Fi is now working, but has low security, so reluctant to use. We would return to Criccieth as it’s a very friendly village with plenty to do and great to tour around North Wales from there, but sadly would not return to Garreg Wen until issues have been sorted.

The property

This spacious bungalow is situated on a quiet estate in the seaside resort of Criccieth, near the sandy shores of Marine Beach.

There is a modern sense of style made apparent from the moment you step inside, a holiday home perfect for a family or group of friends looking to relax and unwind.

The hallway upon entrance is ideal for hanging up your coats and kicking off your sandy flip-flops or muddy boots.

The kitchen is well-appointed with all your culinary needs and overlooks the back garden, while the living/dining room is a lovely sociable space for gathering in the evenings and chatting about the adventures you've had so far.

It features artwork done by the owners themselves, and has patio doors leading out from the living area onto a small patio at the front with bistro table and chairs.

You will find the three bedrooms further along the hallway comprising a double, a twin and a single, allowing for flexible sleeping arrangements.

The family bathroom has walk-in shower so you can freshen up each morning and evening.

To the rear of the cottage is a private garden with outdoor furniture, where you can enjoy relaxed alfresco dining on a balmy afternoon.

You are conveniently a short distance from the castle, beach and high street of Criccieth, hosting many places to grab a bite to eat and shops to browse.

The seaside resorts of Pwllheli, Abersoch or Harlech are close by, and you can even venture inland to the Snowdonia National Park for a plethora of outdoor activities.

You won't want to miss an opportunity for a break here at Garreg Wen.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

CRICCIETH

Porthmadog 5 miles; Portmeirion 8 miles; Abersoch 15 miles.

Often described as the 'Pearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia’, this delightful seaside town is situated just 5 miles from Porthmadog. The town’s 13th-century castle perches majestically on a rocky outcrop, dominating the skyline and offering superb views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. Watersports enthusiasts will be delighted by the two beaches, whilst walkers and bikers are spoilt for choice by the proximity of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Stroll along the beaches, watch porpoises playing in the surf, or relax in the various pubs, restaurants and tea rooms, sampling the famous Cadwalader’s ice cream. Further afield, attractions such as Portmeirion’s wonderful Italianate gardens, the Ffestiniog railway in Porthmadog, Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle and the beautiful beaches and renowned golf courses of the Llyn Peninsula are all within an easy drive.
