    “The two main reasons for my 3 star rating are that I don't believe the property should be advertised as 4 star and that reasonable suggestions have been made for improvement over the years, which haven't been taken on board.”

    Many guests had mentioned milk being provided, however there was none left for us on arrival unfortunately. In 2019, people praised it being beautifully decorated but it clearly needs a touch up now. The walls are grubby in places, some cracks have appeared and the bath in the ensuite has had an awful job done of the silicone . While the flat looks nice, it lacks 4* quality. The fittings etc feel cheap and it feels like the space hasn't been used well. A 2021 review mentioned there was no ...

    Many guests had mentioned milk being provided, however there was none left for us on arrival unfortunately. In 2019, people praised it being beautifully decorated but it clearly needs a touch up now. The walls are grubby in places, some cracks have appeared and the bath in the ensuite has had an awful job done of the silicone . While the flat looks nice, it lacks 4* quality. The fittings etc feel cheap and it feels like the space hasn't been used well. A 2021 review mentioned there was no blind in smallest bedroom; this is still the case in 2026. Blinds in the other bedrooms are almost useless as they are white and let the majority of light in - bring an eye mask. The same with a privacy screen on the bathroom windows (especially the main bathroom) as they are over-looked, as well as the lack of any hooks at all in the main bathroom. Where are you supposed to dry your towels? A review from 2022 mentioned that there is no over-bath shower in the en suite and that still hasn't been remedied. There evidently was one before but it hasn't been replaced. One shower for up to 5 people is not enough. The location is great; we loved watching the waves out of the windows but the only place to sit and do this was in the kitchen. We had a real mixed bag of weather while we were there. The wind made concerning noises in the turret! While we had a nice week in Criccieth, I don't think I would return to this accommodation. Castle Fish and Chips - excellent but loooong queues Dylan's - good food but pricey Prince of Wales - Fast service and good home-made food Cadwaladers - gorgeous views over the sea in the cafe. Great Ice cream!

The property

Modern, bright and quirky Castell is a third floor apartment on the sea front in Criccieth - we just love the skylight in the bathroom that seems to frame the castle view!

There are lovely views of the ocean and coastline and you are within walking distance of everything - you can easily forget the car for a few days should you choose!

The Owners have taken great care to ensure the apartment is well equipped, stylish and comfortable for your stay. A charming little seaside town, Criccieth is a charming seaside town and a firm favourite with our visitors - once you have been here, you will return time after time.

With its imposing castle, interesting individual shops, restaurants, cafes and bars, Cadwaladers' ice cream, and a chip shop reputed to be the best for miles and miles, Criccieth really does have something for everyone, right on the doorstep! Close by there are so many things to do, with some of North Wales' best attractions just a short drive away.

Go paintballing, horse riding, surfing, golfing...

or, if you prefer something more leisurely, simply take a walk along the coastal path.

Ride through stunning scenery by steam train, or stroll around the Italianate village of Portmeirion! Ardudwy, Castell and LLyn are three recently renovated apartments in The Towers, sleeping 11 in total, which can be let individually or all together, making them ideal, flexible holiday homes for your Welsh getaway.

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.

Notes: Guests should note that the headroom is limited in some areas so care will be need if you are tall!
