“This cottage is not cheap so we were expecting the highest standard - hence the honest criticism.”

A ‘welcome pack’ - some milk, couple of tea bags would be a nice gesture. Downstairs rooms are spacious with comfortable furniture. Kitchen is well stocked. Good location with lovely views. We were expecting a dedicated parking space but the next door occupants parked outside our cottage the entire week! Good internet service.

A ‘welcome pack’ - some milk, couple of tea bags would be a nice gesture. Downstairs rooms are spacious with comfortable furniture. Kitchen is well stocked. Good location with lovely views. We were expecting a dedicated parking space but the next door occupants parked outside our cottage the entire week! Good internet service. However we all found the TV very challenging to operate and it would also be useful to have another tv in the ‘snug’? Lovely bathrooms, good showers and towels. Main bedroom light & spacious with plenty of storage. Quality of bedding was average, pillows in particular need replacing. The fitted sheet was too small for the mattress. Although we had asked in advance for the sofa bed to be made up, it wasn’t.

- Eirlys, August 2023

Thank you for your comments, we are pleased you found the cottage comfortable, spacious and in a good location. There are no dedicated parking spaces and none are suggested on the website. This has never been raised as an issue before and we are comfortable that there is sufficient off-road parking available along the terrace. Regarding the sofa bed, the request was not passed on by Sykes who now realise that was an error on their part. We apologise for the inconvenience this caused you. We have spoken to the cleaning company to reinforce the need to fit the correct size sheets to the relevant beds and to replace pillows as necessary. We are reviewing the situation with regard to the tv and a welcome pack. Property Owner

“The cottage is in a lovely location in the middle of Cricceth.”

We loved it. It is spacious, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. It is extremely well equipped. The only point I would make is that the master bedroom has lots of windows, not all of which have coverings, so very light in the early morning. The other 2 bedrooms are fine.

- Susan, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback,and so pleased you enjoyed the cottage and Criccieth. We will take your comments into consideration. Property Owner

“We had a wonderful week at Brook cottage, wonderful location for exploring North Wales.”

Nice decor, clean, well equipped, love sitting out on the bench. Would recommend Portmeirion, Beddgelert, Harlech. Steam train from Porthmadog and the long train to Caernarfon is great. Many thanks

“We had a lovely holiday at Brook Cottage with family including our 2 grandchildren.”

The setting of the cottage was perfect overlooking the sea. The green outside was really great to have as a playground for the little ones. Thank you Brook Cottage and Criccieth.

“Great location, a lovely well equipped cottage, providing an excellent base to tour the area.”

Safe car parking outside of the cottage. The Prince of wales pub offers great food with excellent friendly service. We would recommend this cottage for any breaks.

“Had a wonderful week in Brook cottage.”

We were very lucky with the weather so enjoyed plenty of beach time. The cottage is lovely and so well positioned for visiting the area. Loved the view of the sea from the cottage and the castle lit up at night. Thanks again for a lovely stay

“Lovely cottage - everything we needed.”

Had lots of good days out in the sun, only one day of rain. Had a great meal at Dylans and did painting at piggy pottery. Enjoyed the beach at Abersoch, Thank you.

“Excellent location.”

Very spacious cottage which was well- equipped. Disappointed with the heating level...in particular we felt it necessary to pack bin liners into gaps in windows, which seemed to have been poorly fitted. Full marks and thanks to housekeeper who went above and beyond in forwarding a camera.

- Mike, March 2023

We are sorry to hear you had an issue with the heating level .This has not been an issue that has ever come to light previously and we use the property ourselves as well as letting it out to guests .Unfortunately since we were not made aware of your difficulty until now, we were unable to provide any help / advice during your stay. We will of course look into this in more depth. Property Owner
Vicky September 2022

“Lovely comfortable cottage, plenty of room and well stocked with everything you need.”

Great location in Criccieth, quiet, and not far to walk to the beach and easy access down the coastline, or into Snowdonia. Nice relaxing decor, and beautifully clean and bright, home from home.

- Vicky, September 2022

Thank you for this response ,so pleased you enjoyed your stay . Property Owner
Kat, Penny, Mike + Ammie Sep 2022

“We were 4 adults who had never been to North Wales before.”

Undoubtedly the high spot of the week was a day spent at Portmeirion Village. We had lunch there - and just a little tip. If you book ahead for lunch you get free entry to the village - it saved us £68!! The Blaenau Ffetiniog railways was another day's experience and we fitted in visits to Lloyd George's house, Harlech castle, Caernarfon , a fabulous visit to the slate mines which meant a wonderful picturesque trip round Snowdon. We had several meals locally at Dylans, Spice Bank (takeaway) and Poachers (highly recommend) sunday lunch at Portmeirion. As for the cottage - it looks lovely. And Fiona has thought of everything - a marvellous place to stay - thank you

- Kat, Penny, Mike + Ammie, Sep 2022
Sarah + Ken Sep 2022

“Our second stay - again, very clean and comfortable, and well equipped.”

Weather ranged from glorious sunshine to gales, hail, thunder + lightening! Poachers is a fabulous place to eat, but you need to book. Likewise the Goat. Once again, thank you

The Daniel's Family Aug 2022

“Fantastic week at Brook Cottage.”

Couldn't have wished for more! Superb decor and cleanliness with wonderful adventures. But the best thing by far is the outstanding view from the front of the house across the whole of Criccieth. We had sunshine for most of the week and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area. Well worth a trip up the castle, and a reset to Dylan's, but you must book ahead. Also worth visiting Portmeirion. Favorite beaches were Harlech, Morfa Nefyn, Porth Iago and Criccieth for rock pooling. Didn't have time to go on the steam train, so we will definitely be back. Thoroughly recommend Brook Cottage

Kyene July 2022

“We had a fantastic week in Brook Cottage.”

It had everything we needed, was spacious and comfortable. The view of the sea and the castle from the front of the house was delightful. It was the ideal base for exploring the Llyn Peninsula as well as Snowdonia. We loved Criccieth!

Rachel July 2022

“We had a great stay at Brook Cottage.”

A lovely place, with both quaint charm and modern furnishings and it was well equipped. We loved sitting on the bench at the front in the evenings watching the beautiful view. Parking is right outside the cottage. It is in a very quiet setting with only a short walk into Criccieth and plenty to do in the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend. The only slight negative was the relatively late arrival and early departure times compared to many other self catering places we’ve stayed in.

“What a lovely week.”

.. The sun shone and we were able to make great use of the very private back garden. Sunbathing and meals al fresco were the order of the day. We had everything we could need in this lovely cottage

Cathy O'Connor Jun 2022

“We had a very good week staying at Brook Cottage recently.”

The cottage is beautiful- well equipped, comfortable and with tasteful interior décor. The beds are super comfy. There was plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and the kitchen is very well equipped. There is everything you could need. We loved sitting at the front in the evening sunshine where there is a lovely view down to the sea. This area is beautiful- with huge beaches and pretty sandy coves. We loved the coast path and also a hike up Snowdon on a fabulous day where we had incredible views in all directions. We can highly recommend Brook Cottage and hope to come back to explore more of this beautiful area.

“Thankyou for letting us stay at your cottage.”

We've been to Barmouth fair also had ice cream. Also we've been to Abersoch beach and the weather was really nice. The cottage was really nice and comfy

Aimee, Rhys, Charlie and Archie Apr 2022

“Well what an absolutely wonderful cottage!”

Lovely walk along the beach and through fields, ending with a drink at Dylan's. Snowdon is a 30min drive away - and well worth the climb to the top. Also visited the pretty seaside town Llandudno - felt like wed gone back in time.. in the best way possible. Weather has been a mixture of sunshine and rain, meaning we've been able to explore and relax in the cottage. The perfect place to enjoy. North Wales

“Brook Cottage is a delightful holiday home.”

Its situation in Criccieth is perfect - a short walk to the high street shops and the beaches. Overlooking the greens and with views of the sea and castle, it couldn't be better. The cottage itself is like a tardis - spacious and light inside. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the fittings and furniture are all very tasteful. We loved staying there - thank you to the most helpful and friendly owner - and we hope to return.

Cheryl June 2019

“The cottage was so lovely, beautifully and tastefully decorated, and so well and thoughtfully equipped.”

Great view of the sea and castle at the front. Nice terrace/patio at the back. The beds were comfortable, plenty of storage for clothes, cases etc. It was a short walk to the sea and castle, coffee shops and restaurants. The only things we would suggest to the owner are, in the welcome book, clear instructions for using the heating and the tv would be helpful, and where nearest supermarket is.
