We forgot to take ours so had to struggle with it. It was OK and manageable for us as a couple but a larger group might struggle to make meals with what's there. The 2 TVs are old and need updating to smart ones. Overall we enjoyed staying there and would recommend it to others. Even ok for larger groups but I would advise they pack kitchen stuff to make up for the limited things. However, things would be better with some addition and changes as above.

- Paul, March 2025

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found the property clean and spacious, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your observations with us.Regarding the radio, we weren't aware of any previous issues, so thank you for bringing it to our attention. We're considering purchasing a new one to ensure it meets our guests' needs. We also understand your point about the baking trays. They tend to wear out with frequent use, and I’ve already arranged for new ones to be placed in the property. As for the toaster, we initially provided a 2-slice model which has so far been adequate, but we’re happy to replace it with a 4-slice option for added convenience. We’ll also be adding another pan and peeler, as we agree that these are important for larger groups. Additionally, a new TV is being delivered tomorrow, so we hope this will enhance the overall experience for future stays.Once again, thank you for your constructive feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

“An exceptional holiday home.”

Paul October 2024

“Lovely property in a fantastic location in order the local area.”

Very clean and tidy with all the facilities you could need for a comfortable stay. Would certainly look to return in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending the property.

- Paul, October 2024
Cheryl September 2024

“Second time visiting Min Y Traeth, did not disappoint.”

The only complaint or observation is there is very limited cooking trays for oven. The house is clean and comfortable. Would visit again.

- Cheryl, September 2024
Cheryl September 2024

“Could have done with a some extra trays trays to use in oven.”

- Cheryl, September 2024
Helen June 2024

“The property was extremely clean in all areas and very comfortable for our family of four adults.”

The facilities were of a higher spec than I expected from the photos, the oven and and the hob in particular. The sea view from two of the bedrooms was a bonus. The location was quiet and great being a few minutes walk to the sea.vWe had a lovely stay and would recommend the property to friends.

- Helen, June 2024
Sarah June 2024

“Lovely comfortable house, with most things that you would need for your stay.”

Parts of the property a little dated and couldn’t imagine there being enough comfortable seating if the house was at full occupancy. Area where house is situated is quiet and on a cul-de-sac. Would be even better if garden was made enclosed. Would recommend.

- Sarah, June 2024

I was very disappointed with the hypothetical comment about not enough space for 6 people when there were only 2 of you. The house has been at full occupancy many times in the past 12 years with no complaints. Property Owner
Lynne May 2024

“Lovely clean house in a quiet cul-de-sac with the sea at the end of the road.”

Close to the centre and castle. Highly recommend.

- Lynne, May 2024
Kevin December 2023

“Clean and comfortable house which is close to the local shops and beach!”

Just right for a family get together at Christmas !

- Kevin, December 2023
Justine November 2023

“Great property but could do with another seat in the lounge but apart from that it’s a great house in a great location.”

Fabulous facilities and immaculately clean.

- Justine, November 2023
Paul October 2023

“Enjoyed our stay in this very nice house close to the beach, and in a quiet and easily accessed location.”

It had everything we needed, and was clean and very comfortable. The owner communicated clearly and quickly. No complaints at all, and would certainly use again.

- Paul, October 2023
Cheryl September 2023

“Lovely holiday let.”

Very spacious good facilities. Near sea front for walks. Nice having parking at property. Would book again.

- Cheryl, September 2023

Thank you for your nice comments and thanks for your booking for next year. Property Owner
Ann September 2023

“Beautiful house in a perfect location near the beach and a short walk to shops pubs and restaurants.”

Most of the house is well decorated the beds are so comfy but the showers and cloakroom need upgrading, and wardrobe needs attention, having said that we would definitely stay there again plenty of off road parking for two cars.

- Ann, September 2023

This is very odd as the whole house has recently been redecorated throughout. Perhaps you don't like the tiles. Property Owner
Tina August 2023

“This is our second stay at Min Y Treath and it is yet to disappoint!”

- Tina, August 2023
Samantha July 2023

“The owners let us stay in their beautiful house last minute after we were let down.”

It is a lovely place and a minute from the beach. Clean, well stocked with everything we needed. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you again to the owners. Thank you to skye cottages for being so efficient at finding us this place last minute too.

- Samantha, July 2023
Cathy July 2023

“A lovely spacious house just a minutes walk from the sea.”

We met the owner as we arrived bearing gifts of welsh cakes and toffee waffles. Great walks for Basil our golden retriever and he loved the space downstairs. We only left yesterday and miss it already. A great break had by one and all, thank you!

- Cathy, July 2023
Stuart July 2023

“Lovely spacious modern house close to the beach at Criccieth that was spotlessly clean on arrival.”

Plenty of room for 6 adults and all the mod cons you could want. You have a 5 minute walk (uphill sections) to the high street (via a handy footpath from neighbouring estate) and to the castle area (along promenade). My parents (in their 80s) managed it without any problem for those with some mobility issues. As described in listing the garden is not enclosed but the cul de sac is extremely quiet. Criccieth is just a short drive from plenty of great places to visit so a great base. Check in is actually 3pm and check out 10am.

- Stuart, July 2023
Roger June 2023

“One of the best presented holiday homes we have had the pleasure to stay in.”

Very clean and well equipped.

- Roger, June 2023
Mark May 2023

“A great property in great location.”

Could do with a bit more info in house folder i.e. what can be recycled as different areas need different items separated.

- Mark, May 2023
Elizabeth May 2023

“Didn’t notice the garden wasn’t enclosed when we booked and l think this is important when you have dogs or children.”

Also we could manage 9.00 departure and 5.00 check in. But 10.00 and 4.00. Would have been preferable

- Elizabeth, May 2023

Check in and out times have been changed to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. We have had no complaints about the garden as regards to children before and have been letting Min y Traeth for 11 years. There is no question of having the garden enclosed although guests are welcome to bring their dogs and there are plenty of walks nearby for them. Property Owner
Jeffrey May 2023

“The house was exactly as described, very clean and well equipped and within sight of the beach.”

There are pubs and restaurants in easy walking distance in Criccieth, not all are open every weekday so it's best to check. This was an excellent base for walking and exploring the LLyn peninsula and Snowdonia. In good weather there's no prettier place to be.

- Jeffrey, May 2023
Keith March 2023

“This is our eighth time at this property.”

Love the house and all the facilities and the closeness to the beach and town. Can highly recommend. We met the owner this time which was great, being able to put a face to the name. This time there was new furniture in the living room, very comfortable. This is a five star house. We will be back for visit number 9…..

- Keith, March 2023
Ann January 2023

“This was a week of sea air and mountain views and it didn't disappoint.”

We had had a long journey through torrential rain and floods but the moment we walked through the door, the warmth of the house enveloped us. Everything was exactly as described, but with a high end finish. House remained warm all week and beds were very comfortable. All in all house surpassed our expectations on all fronts. Neighbours we met were friendly and the weather was superb after the first day when it rained, we had sun most days at some point and on our last day spent a good amount of time on the beach with our dog as it was so warm and no breeze. Criccieth was much as we remembered from previous holidays. Pwllheli was rather run down in the town centre, like so many others across the UK, but we still enjoyed our walk across the dunes watching the jet skiers in the bay. The snow capped mountains in the distance belied the warmer climes on the sea shore across the week. We hope to return later in the year for another injection of sea and mountain air.

- Ann, January 2023
Cynthia December 2022

“Love this property and how close it is to the sea but has sea and castle views Heating was on when I arrived and the booking system was easy and effortless with the helpful Trish at Skykes who couldn’t do enough Lots of space and parking and clean and comfortable quiet street where sometimes I can hear the waves what more could anyone want Already thinking about my next trip!”

Lovely place really enjoyed our stay, beach was less than a minute walk , the owner was very helpful, hoping to return in 2023

- Derek, December 2022
Margaret November 2022

“We enjoyed our stay at Min Y Traeth, it’s a lovely house very close to the sea front and coast path.”

Ideally situated for exploring the Lyn Peninsula and Snowdonia. It would have been helpful if all information, instructions for appliances and useful phone numbers were contained in one folder and not distributed in plastic sleeves in various draws and cupboards around the house.

- Margaret, November 2022
Christine October 2022

“Had a lovely week at this house.”

The location was excellent just a minute's walk down to the beach. The house had everything that we needed with a well equipped kitchen. There was also a utility room which was very handy when coming back from the beach with dogs. Would definitely recommend this house and look forward to staying here again.

- Christine, October 2022
Keith October 2022

“This is our 8th holiday in this fabulous property.”

It is clean and has all the comforts you need to enjoy your holiday. I would highly recommend this property, and we have already booked for our next holiday next year.

- Keith, October 2022
Tim September 2022

“Spotlessly clean, well equipped.”

Quite location, close to the seaside. Good touring base. All appliances were easy to operate. Owner helpful & understanding over misplaced key! Maybe more that one toilet roll in each loo, and some kitchen roll, would have been good for a week's stay.

- Tim, September 2022
Tina August 2022

“Min Y Treath is a well equipped, comfortable and clean property ideally situated for exploring Criccieth.”

The welcome pack provided was delicious and greatly appreciated. The property owner provided lots of useful information about the appliances in the cottage and also places to visit and eat. We honestly did not want to leave and will be returning next year.

- Tina, August 2022
Terry August 2022

“This is our second time staying here and we just love it!”

!! The house is spacious with all the facilities we could ever need! We love being so close to the beach and the castle - the views from upstairs are lovely! The house stays nice and cool in very hot weather which was great as we were there in the heat wave. It’s the perfect house to stay with more than one family as 3 toilets - one bedroom with an en suite. It’s a lovely house ans we will definitely book again in the future. Thank you!

- Terry, August 2022
Jennifer July 2022

“Min Y Traeth is a lovely holiday home in the beautiful village of Criccieth.”

The welcome gift was very much appreciated and was a lovely start to our holiday. It is within easy reach of the dog friendly part of the beach with stunning views of both the castle and bay. We have enjoyed our fortnight stay here and it has been a perfect base to explore the surrounding areas. We would highly recommend and would love to return in the future.

- Jennifer, July 2022
Craig July 2022

“The house was very clean and spacious with a very modern kitchen with NEFF appliances.”

The owners were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble . We lost the front door key (luckily someone found it and we got it back) the owner was at the house within ten minutes with a replacement . It is a short walk to the dog friendly part of the beach and the coastal path . We will be recommending this property to our friends.

- Craig, July 2022
Rob May 2022

“Great house.”

Lovely large rooms and clean. Only downside of this house is the garden. Without a fence or gate at all it isn’t particularly usable with a dog, and makes you feel as though you are sitting in the road with the area just outside the patio doors. Other than that it’s great. Love the new kitchen.

- Rob, May 2022

No matter what you do someone is sure to complain about something. We have been letting Min y Traeth now for 10 - 11 years and while a dog is welcome dog owners know that the garden is not enclosed. Property Owner
David May 2022

“The property was very well equipped, although the single beds were hard, and too firm.”

And we did feel somewhat exposed as the garden had no privacy. But we did enjoy our stay Min Y Traeth, and the whole of the area. It was a lovely that a locally baked cake was left for us, thank you.

- David, May 2022
Richard May 2022

“Very Clean and comfortable”

- Richard, May 2022
Keith March 2022

“This is our 7th visit to Min Y Traeth.”

We love the area and the house is warm, comfortable and has everything we need for a great holiday. This time the owner has installed a new kitchen which was fabulous, and there were several other changes which made a great house even greater. We have already booked for October this year, so looking forward to another great week in Criccieth. We would highly recommend this property.

- Keith, March 2022
Cynthia February 2022

“Excellent stay and rest in this huge house with views of the Castle lit up at night from all bedrooms and the sea by day.”

Very quiet and bed was very comfortable and house warm heating left on for my arrival and thanks for the biscuits much appreciated. Easy check in and out plenty of parking. Towels were included (some reviews say they aren’t) but do bring dish washer tablets hand soap and washing powder and toilet roll. Will definitely stay again very comfortable warm and clean no issues at all. Asda in Pwhelli, Tesco in Porthmadog, local garage shop for fuel and groceries open till 9pm, local bakery (By Spar) excellent and very cheap. Even had excellent weather!!!!!

- Cynthia, February 2022
Mark November 2021

“Very spacious property, clean and tidy, located in a lovely part of Criccieth - very handy for walking our frenchie on the beach.”

Views of the castle. Could do with enclosing the rear garden, as all open plan onto the street at the side. Would recommend to others.

- Mark, November 2021
Alison October 2021

“Comfortable, warm house.”

Furnished to a high standard and very clean. Good central location for exploring the peninsula. Only problem was the garden wasn’t enclosed so dogs needed to be put on leads every time they went out.

- Alison, October 2021
Carole October 2021

“The house is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac with a two minute walk to the beach.”

There is a hill to climb either way to get to the main High Street but it’s not too steep and is a good way to work off some calories especially if you’ve stopped at Cadwalladers ice cream parlour! The property was very clean throughout, the bed was very comfortable and the rooms are very spacious. Due to Covid protocols there were no scatter cushions in the lounge so if you’re not very tall like myself I would recommend bringing one from home. I also found the dining chairs were a little too low for the dining table so I used the wedge cushion from my car. Apart from that everything else was excellent. We had a small problem with the TV stand and reported it to the owner and it was replaced with another TV within a few hours. All in all we had a lovely weather and it was a good holiday and I would recommend this property.

- Carole, October 2021
James July 2021

“The listing specifically stated that there would be towels included.”

Two days before we were due to go the owner e-mailed to say they would not be provided, due to COVID. We queried this and checked the Sykes website, the owner then agreed to provide them. All the outside lights had, had their bulbs removed. Extra time is given for cleaning, however it was not spotless and the oven set the smoke alarms off each time we used it, as it needs a proper clean. The location is two minutes walk from the seafront and is handy for exploring Snowdonia.

- James, July 2021

Thank you very much for leaving a review. We have stopped providing towels during the pandemic, however we are providing them now. We have checked the outside lights and everything was in order. We have always had positive feedback in regards to the cleanliness of the property, however next time if you are having any difficulties please let us know! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at Min Y Traeth and that you loved the location. Thank you again for your comments. Property Owner
David June 2021

“We liked the accommodation very much but we were disappointed that there was no bins provided at all for recycling ?”

There was just 1 black bin liner for the week with 4 adults sharing. This one bin liner was for everything food waste,paper, bottles ? As you can imagine in hot weather this would start to smell and attract flies. I rang the cleaner up and she said to just leave it in the garage ? We cannot understand why there was not bins provided in this property when all the rest of the neighbours had them? Also the outside of the windows were filthy full of cobwebs etc We needed up cleaning the outside the kitchen windows ourselves as they were so dirty? Also the place could do with a lick of paint. Just one other point the property would benefit with a second Double bed rather than 4 single beds, But on the positive side The property was in a great position for the beach etc. We would happily return, Hopefully the waste issues will be resolved next time Thank you David

The house was warm and we had everything we needed. The perfect place to come back to after a day's walking. Thanks.

Keith October 2019

“This was our sixth time at this lovely house.”

Close to criccieth town centre and the beaches. Always enjoy our time there. We can highly recommend.

- Keith, October 2019
Andrea April 2019

“We are a family of 5 plus dog.”

Kids aged 11-17. A great holiday property. Very clean and all the facilities you would need. Great water pressure for the showers! Kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, knives etc. We took our dog and it was great for him too. The only downside being that the back garden area is unfenced but we knew that when we booked and we managed fine with a long line tethered to the ground. Nice touches like fresh flowers and welsh cakes were an added bonus. Would have liked more info on recycling, we left it all together in the garage as requested but I think it has to be segregated in Gwynedd area? A great house, close to the beach and loads to do in the area and hope to book again soon. Thank you.

- Andrea, April 2019
George March 2019

“Lovely house great location very high spec all round.”

- George, March 2019
Stephen February 2019

“It would be good if the rear garden could be fenced off to provide a safe area for dogs”

- Stephen, February 2019
Paul August 2018

“The cottage was very spacious and comfortable.”

Apart from two failed lightbulbs, everything worked as it should. The only downside (which we knew about before booking) was the lack of security for our two dogs due to open plan garden. Really nice property!

- Paul, August 2018
Janet May 2018

“House & location fantastic, only drawback was no fence so unable to let dog out without someone keeping an eye on him in case he wandered off.”

But everything else was perfect.

- Janet, May 2018
Linda February 2017

“Wonderful place to stay walking straight from doorstep”

- Linda, February 2017

The cottage allows dogs but unfortunately the garden is not dog friendly it is open to the road both sides so it poses us with a problem but all in all had a great time

- Margaret, November 2016

- Kate, April 2016
Jacqueline April 2015

“The location was great.”

Lovely to be able to start walks from the house and not have to go by car everyday. However it was close to the places we wanted to visit when we did get the car out. A very comfortable, spacious house. We had the most fantastic weather all week which made our stay even better.

- Jacqueline, April 2015
Elaine November 2014

Gill September 2014

“A lovely holiday; in a quiet location, plenty of room to park and a beautiful area.”

Loved the house, it was perfect for us all and the washing machine meant we all went home with clean washing! Would rent this property again if I was in the area, very nice indeed.

- Gill, September 2014
Clare May 2014

“The property was in a quiet location but very close to the seafront with views of the sea and castle from most windows.”

It was also near the coastal path and the town of Criccieth had good facilities and was very good for touring the area, nothing seemed very far away.

- Clare, May 2014
Jean April 2014

“The property was very clean and comfortable.”

The location was very central and had all of the conveniences that we required as a family.

- Shirley, March 2014
Peter March 2014

The property was spacious, comfortable, well equipped and warm. We liked the area and particularly enjoyed our visit to Harlech.

- Peter, March 2014
Elaine November 2013

“Min y Traeth is a lovely home.”

It is so spacious, and with wonderful views of the sea from the dining room, and bed rooms. The bedrooms are lovely and with an en-suite in the main bedroom it is just perfect. It has a wonderful kitchen and utility room. I would highly recommend this property to anyone, either on their own or in a family. We were cosy and warm, with the heating and fire.

- Elaine, November 2013
Michael November 2013

“We had a lovely, and most importantly relaxing time!”

- Konstantinos, September 2013
Philip August 2013

“The cottage was of excellent quality in a nice quiet cul-de-sac, just off the sea front, within a 10 minute walk from the high street.”

Criccieth has nice shopping, and a decent array of restaurants to choose from.

- Philip, August 2013
Les January 2013

“The location was ideal for walking the dog on the beach and the property itself was better than expected.”

5 star, a credit to it's owners, we will be back.

- Les, January 2013

- Susan, March 2012
Helen October 2011

“Fabulous position with the sea view.”

Very comfortable large house to which we would love to return. First rate accommodation.

- Helen, October 2011
Linda April 2011

“This holiday home is ideally situated for the beach and for pottering around the village of Criccieth.”

The castle is worth a visit just for the views. The house is a new, modern, spacious, detached house so was just like transporting our own home to the seaside. Criccieth itself is a good base for touring further afield by car for longer breaks. This home is 100m away from the coastal path too. Excellent choice.

The property

A fantastic, modern, detached Criccieth cottage on a cul-de-sac in the centre of the town, with views to the beach and sea from the front of the property, and of Criccieth Castle to the side.

This Criccieth cottage has been tastefully furnished and offers spacious accommodation, while outside, open lawned gardens and a patio area are ideal for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine while the children play.

Criccieth has two superb beaches, one within 100 metres of this Criccieth cottage, which is perfect for swimming, watersports and rock-pooling, and if you are lucky, you may spot one of the visiting dolphins who enjoy the warm gulf stream that flows along this beautiful coast.

Situated on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park, Criccieth is a delightful town with an array of shops, pubs and restaurants on your doorstep, as well as Criccieth Castle which was built in the 13th century and dominates the landscape on its rocky perch at one end of the town.

Other local attractions include the world-famous village of Portmeirion, the Italianate village where The Prisoner was filmed, or Porthmadog, home of the Ffestiniog Railway - an old steam train that takes you high into the Snowdonia range.

This Criccieth cottage is ideal for a family getaway, all year round.

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.

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.
