“We’ve booked through Menai cottages many many times and we’ve only ever had hassle free holidays.”

From booking to arrival there’s never any problems whatsoever. It was our 2nd stay at Ty Glyn and it was as good as our 1st time. Comfortable, clean, ideally located etc. The only problem we had was…that we had to leave. Thank you Menai for another stress free holiday. You could perhaps give other travel/holiday companies tips on how to treat customers!. Kind regards Simon

“I loved my stay at Ty Glyn, it had everything I needed, was clean, comfortable and the kitchen was really well stocked.”

The highlight is the view, perfect in good and bad weather. Will definitely book again.

“Superb holiday let best one we’ve been in.”

Kitchen facilities were spot on apart from the dishwasher not working correctly, however I managed to realise what the problem was and soon got it working properly. One slight niggle is in the separate bathroom, one of the fixings for the toilet seat needs attention, it requires tightening since the seat slides about. All in all a great time was had and will probably be back again next year. Criccieth is definitely the jewel in Liŷn peninsula thoroughly recommend a visit.

“Lovely holiday cottage that is beautifully decorated, extremely clean and warm with plenty of utensils etc and even a slow cooker.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. The view from the lounge and balcony is ever changing, great walks directly from the door and lots of places to visit.

“Premium rental fee but unfortunately, budget IKEA furniture and Pound Shop accessories.”

If you are charging rent of £1000’s per week, please furnish the apartment accordingly with quality comfortable furniture I’ve seen better student accommodation. Kitchen well equipped but overall maintenance needed of blinds and French doors to balcony as they are stuck and difficult to open. Overall - price not matched by quality of furnishings. Disappointing.

- Vernon, December 2022

Many thanks for your feedback, it is always appreciated when guests leave their comments, it steers us and our owners in the right direction as far as what we are all are trying to achieve, namely guest satisfaction. Our owners have looked at the blind and repaired it . It was the chain that has now been repaired and the owners will check with the house keeper to make sure that she uses some lubrication on the balcony doors, as whilst affording great views, are susceptible to the prevailing weather, which was particularly inclement over the Christmas and New Year, which we feel impacted on the Patio doors. The feedback for this property has been historically very favourable and your review will help us in trying to keep our standards up. The Menai Holiday Team Property Owner

“Having been coming to Criccieth for many many years, staying at our caravan site, I've always wanted to stay in one of these beautiful places on the front - what a DREAM.”

Listening to the waves crashing whilst reading a book on the sofa is the exact weekend we were after to celebrate my 27th birthday my 'boyfriend' booked the place as a suprise and shortly after arriving asked to go for a walk to the pier to stretch our legs after the two hour drive. He then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! It was the perfect weekend to become his fiance and to spend the rest of the weekend in this gorgeous home was the perfect way to spend our time during the 'engagement bubble'. It will forever be a special spot for us - Thank you!

- Hannah And Laurence, Nov 2022

“Ty Glyn is a wonderful property to stay in.”

...a real home from home. Everything you need is catered for. It is in an ideal location & the views are fantastic. So pleased with it we have booked again for 2023

“This was our third stay at Ty Glyn and we were again impressed by the cleanliness and condition of the house.”

None of the furniture or equipment show signs of wear - a well designed and well maintained property in which it is a pleasure to stay.

- Geoff, May 2022
Linda May 2022

“TY Glyn is bright, clean and comfortably furnished with wonderful views of the Beach front of Criccieth.”

It has a kitchen that is well equipped with all the utensils you could need including a slow cooker if you wanted to have a meal ready on your return from a Day out. If you don't want to cook then Ty Glyn is close enough to numerous Cafe's, Restaurants and Take Away outlets for you to enjoy. Emma, the caretaker lives close by and is always available to advise and help if you are unsure how to work the Washing Machine, cooker etc. This is a wonderful property and would highly recommend.

- Linda, May 2022
Margaret December 2021

“It was a lovely stay.”

We left a message that the shower door was not fitting properly and the morning before we left it came off it's hinges totally but given the quality of the let we're sure that this will be addressed.

- Margaret, December 2021
Simon November 2021

“Spacious, comfortable, warm, clean, well equipped and of course a fantastic view of the beach, castle and sea.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lorraine October 2021

“Lovely property, most of all very clean”

- Lorraine, October 2021
Lesley October 2021

“Everything we wanted.”

Central position, off street parking, good WiFi, pet free. The views were wonderful and the underfloor heating a bonus. A grab rail in the family bathroom shower would be useful and a hook or shelf in the ensuite shower for putting soap/shower gel. Otherwise fabulous.

- Lesley, October 2021
Jeff June 2021

“Nice well-equipped house with mostly* great views, but unfortunately noisy at times so it didn’t make for a relaxing holiday.”

If I’d known there were going to be building works next door I wouldn’t have booked, but by the time I was made aware it was too late to do anything about it so we just hoped it wouldn’t cause any problems. However, building started at 8am or just before most weekdays, and largely consisted of loud banging and sawing until around 4-4:30pm, so although we planned to visit other places during our stay we were more or less forced out of the house regardless. Although the view directly facing the sea was unspoiled, you couldn’t unsee the unsightly scaffolding when looking left on the balcony, nor ignore the traffic accessing the public carpark next door to the house, although the latter wasn’t an issue after about 6pm. Last but not least, the house backs onto a railway line, but to be fair this is mentioned in the property description. What isn’t mentioned is that the first train is 6:45am apart from Sunday’s, then hourly, and it didn’t fail to wake us up. Then we snoozed til the next one, then weekdays had to get up when the builders started. Glad to be home for a rest, although still enjoyed the rest of our stay at weekends and after 5pm...

- Jeff, June 2021
Julie June 2021

“The view was perfect and although the accommodation is in a car park this didn’t affect us at all.”

Spotlessly clean and really well equipped. We would return if it hadn’t gone up £400 next year

- Julie, June 2021

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Ty Glyn. Please do keep an eye out for your chosen weeks...the pricing is constantly changing. Property Owner
Michael June 2021

“Lovely house in a wonderfull location with great sea views which change every day with the weather .”

Everything you could possibly need for your self catering holiday. However be prepared for the 6.45 am train every morning if you can sleep through that your a better person than me. .Also at the moment you have the builders next door if the train doesnt wake you up the builders will as they arrive about 8.00am banging and sawing and playing loud music all day it will be nice to go home and have some peace and quiet .

- Michael, June 2021

We are extremely happy that you loved the house and the fantastic sea views. Criccieth is a great location with its 2 beaches, castle and wide selection of shops and places to eat and drink. We are sorry that you found yourself to be disturbed. We have made special note of certain things on the website to alert anyone who might be looking for a more quiescent setting. Property Owner

Andrew April 2021

“We had a truly wonderful week in Criccieth, which to a large extent, was afforded to us by the wonderful accommodation that we had at Ty Glyn.”

Everything provided was clean and tidy and the facilities met our every need. No hesitation in recommending this place and we are looking forward to booking it again

Jane September 2020

“I would like to say that it was terrible so no one else will go there but I have to very honest it was as near as perfect as it could be.”

The view even on a very windy and wet day was spectacular. The accommodation had everything you could want. Had a small problem with the WI'FI but Emma and son where round in 5 minutes to resolve the problem. Will definitely return. Jane & Trevor

John September 2020

“Wonderful location and great for people watching!”

But quiet and were not disturbed. Inside the house was all we expected given the write up. Ideal place for touring around and great for walking. Have to praise the cleaning at this time.. felt very happy when we went inside and everything was spotless.

“The accommodation at Ty Glyn in Criccieth was truly exceptional!”

This is our second visit and we will be booking it again for next year. I really must add that whoever cleans and prepares this apartment for guests is just wonderful! Everywhere was sparkling clean..... something which is very important to me! The apartment is homely with nice touches and very spacious. I couldn’t think of a single negative. Thank you to Menai Holidays, the owner of the property and especially the cleaner (s)....... see you next year!!!

Ingrid Richter Nov 2018

“Very modern, well appointed, well equipped and good quality appliances.”

We loved sitting in the lounge area and looking out to sea watching the changing landscape of sea and clouds and some sunshine! The house is perfectly located for walks on the beach either side of the castle and inland.

The property

Wow, what a view!

This sea front holiday cottage has been carefully designed and furnished by the owners to create a modern, spacious but cosy holiday house.

Designed to maximise the amazing sea views, this is an upside down house with 2 beautiful king sized bedrooms downstairs, one with en-suite and a family bathroom. A large hallway with plenty of storage cupboards with stairs leading up to a wonderful open living area comprising of kitchen, dining & living room with vaulted ceiling and underfloor heating for those cooler evenings. "A cool, contemporary holiday house with amazing sea views and only a 30 second stroll to the beach as well as a short stroll to plenty of great restaurants, shops & cafés!" Patio doors lead onto a large veranda with uninterrupted sea views straight out over Cardigan Bay!

The perfect place to sip a cool glass of wine and watch the sun go down over the beach. If you can drag yourself away from the wonderful views, you can stroll along the promenade towards the castle, wander down the coastal path which is almost on your doorstep, stopping on the way for a delicious ice cream from Cadwalader's, or meander around the shops and cafés on the high street which are within easy walking distance.

In fact, you could always park up the car when you arrive and leave it there - so much to do right on the doorstep!

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.

Note: At the back of the house by the kitchen there is a railway line. However, far from causing disturbance, it seems to add ambiance to the house as you listen to the trains pass on their way down the Cambrian Coast.
Note: No children or infants under 12
