Cennin

Absolutely beautiful property had everything we needed, would highly recommend it, couldn't find a guest book though to leave a message, nice welcome basket as well we really enjoyed our stay

We were very happy with the accommodation.

Very roomy, well equipped and spotless. All beds were freshly made and both bath and hand towels were provided for each guest. A lovely basket of goodies on our arrival and milk in the fridge. The owner visited us on the first morning and made us feel very welcome.

Just a point.

Not just for this cottage but for other cottages we have stayed in. It would be helpful for a support rail to be installed in a shower to help less able people to have a shower without fear of becoming unbalanced. Otherwise an nice clean cottage and an enjoyable stay.

The cottage is in a great convenient position, it is on a main road but that did not bother us.

It was great that the owner came to greet us to make sure everything was okay. Everything you need is in the cottage and it is sparkling clean - I mean really really clean. We had a great week!

We very much enjoyed our week at Cennin.

The property was a delight, lovely and clean with everything that we needed for our stay. The location was very convenient. We were able to leave our car and explore using the local bus service. The owner was very pleasant and helpful. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cennin and would love to make a return visit.

We really enjoyed ourselves here.

Beautiful part of Wales and an excellent base to explore the area from. A big well placed property which is very modern, very comfortable and very well equipped.

Lovely property, we had a very nice stay and would come back again.

The only one negative would be the early time required to leave the property. Overall, it was a really nice break.

Wow!

What a fantastic holiday home, it far exceeded our expectations. It was spotlessly clean and contained everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house was spacious and perfectly located - only a ten minute walk away from the beach where we were lucky enough to see seals! The owner was really friendly and extremely helpful. We had a fabulous week - we loved spending our evenings watching the bats in the garden. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend!

This accomodation is one of the best we have ever stayed in.

Fabulous internal layout providing everything for a wonderful stay. Spotlessly clean and wonderfully equipped so everything catered for.Great welcome pack and a lovely host. Cannot recommend Cennin highly enough.

Cennin is a wonderful house, very spacious, super clean and very well equipped.

The house is old on the outside with a modern interior. We felt very much at home here and couldn’t fault anything. We appreciated the welcome basket and Mrs Huges even popped round during the week to check that we had no problems. Thank you.

This is our second time at Cennin and we had another fabulous holiday, we really love the cottage and hope to return again soon.

As a minor note, I am LED sensitive so for other light-sensitive people and migraine sufferers it would really help if you could choose Eye Safe/Comfort bulbs in very warm yellow hues. We had to remove all of the white spotlights as they were making me feel unwell. If you could avoid using the white/blue 4000k colour temperature bulbs then this would really help thank you.

Exceptionally clean.

Beautiful place. Well maintained. High quality. Huge garden. Situated just off a fast, busy, loud main road but this did not distract from our enjoyment at all. Lovely owner.

A lovely house, well presented, lots of room.

Large outside area too. We have stayed twice here, there are plenty of places to visit within easy short trips. Perhaps a couple of extra fans might be useful if the weather gets as hot as it was for us on a few nights!

Our second time staying at Cennin.

We love the house. It's spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and has a great garden for our 2 young children to play in. The Welcome Basket is a lovely touch too. The owner is attentive and responsive to queries. We look forward to staying there next year.

Faultless.

Beautiful property, well presented and everything worked well eg TV / WI-FI, plumbing etc unfortunately the property is very close to a main road which means there is road traffic noise especially during peak travel periods.

This needs to be fully explained in the property details.

All was fine.

Floorboards upstairs could do with screwing down to stop them creaking especially when you use the toilet in the middle of the night to the anoiance of other people especially when you are a certain age and need to use the loo. Upstairs toilet had wet urine stains around the base.

Lovely house and friendly owner.

We were a bit worried about proximity to road but it wasn’t a problem. Seems a bit odd though that you have to be out by 9.00 am - a hangover from Covid? No sign of cleaners when we scrambled out at 9.04!

An excellent cottage - very well equipped.

The only downside was having to leave at 9am - far too early. I’ve never been asked before to leave a cottage before 10am

Brilliant property and excellent for base for surrounding area.

Host was welcoming and available if needed.

We had a lovely stay in this holiday home and we are pleased with the owner's welcome basket gifts.

It is clean, neat, comfortable, fully equipped kitchen, good shower and lots of spaces. It's a road side property and there is noisy from vehicles, but doesn't a problem to us and its location is convenient to drive to the town of Criccieth and Porthmadog and the beach. We didn't walk to the beach due to the rainy and windy weather through the week.

CENNIN is very stylish and comfortable cottage and has everything you could need, perfect to relax in after a busy day sightseeing!

" The cottage is perfectly situated for exploring North Wales. The welcome pack on arrival was a lovely touch! What an amazing property, from the moment we stepped into the entrance hall the ambience of the cottage relaxes you completely. The cottage was immaculate and so clean. The cottage was really comfortable and all the natural light in the surroundings was also really nice. One of the very best properties we have stayed in. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

The location is ideal.

Sea-views from some rooms and a short drive to Cricciethh and Porthmadog. Also only 30 minutes from Snowdon and Beddgelert. The property itself is very nicely done inside with plenty of room. The open plan kitchen/dining room is spacious and very well equipped. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all a good size. The host was friendly and helpful.

Lovely house in a great location.

The owners couldn’t have been more helpful. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is a fabulous home and garden.

Great base for exploring the area, beautiful beaches, mountains, villages and castles within easy driving distance. Garden is great for badminton and archery in the evening. The whole family loved it would highly recommend.

I would not stay at this property again ever , the reason being the road next to Cennin was very very noisey ,no letup untill late at night "gone midnight" .

We had a very nice week weather wise and the property is excellent, but for the price there are better places and quieter . One of the bedrooms has only a roof window very stuffy.

We enjoyed our stay very much and the description of the property was correct however, stating a 10 minute walk to the beach was far from accurate.

We started walking as per the route given by the owner and after some 20 minutes gave up and walked back. We booked the holiday with a 10 minute walk in mind so we could stroll there in an evening aswell as during the day this being false was very disappointing.

Very comfortable accommodation which made our stay enjoyable.

Owner friendly and helpful when we had a small problem. Weather very good.

We were very happy with our stay at Cennin, the house is as spacious as the photos and very warm and cosy.

We appreciated the generous welcome pack of Easter Eggs, crisps and Gin & Tonics, thank you. Some other reviewers had mentioned the busy road, but we did not find it to be an issue - a little traffic noise occasionally but it did not bother us. The location of the cottage was good for accessing both the National Park, and the Llyn Peninsula, and it was easy to catch the Sherpa bus from Porthmadog. We would happily stay again.

A lovely warm welcome awaited us on our arrival at the cottage!

Thank you to Mrs. Hughes who directed us when we got abit lost! The cottage itself immediately felt like home. So spacious, clean & comfortable.we would love to stay again & would highly recommend!

Most amazing holiday ever, we enjoyed every minute and Cennin is a beautiful, clean and spacious accommodation.

We had everything we needed and Mrs Hughes was always on hand. We will definitely be going back and our kids loved the large garden area. The walk to the beach is lovely and Criccieth is a gorgeous place. 5 stars from us

We had a lovely week at Cennin.

The owner, Nerys left us a lovely welcome pack and checked that all was ok. Perfect location to explore North Wales. House was very clean and everything provided for a weeks holiday.

an absolutely excellent property.

Well furnished with plenty of kitchen equipment. Very clean throughout the property. Well positioned with off road parking space. A resounding thank you for such attention to detail to make our stay comfortable .

What a great holiday accommodation, spacious, comfortable and ideally situated.

Everything you need and Mrs Hughes, was there to check all was well, but not intrusive.

Thank you for a lovely stay at Cennin.

The house is very clean, spacious & well equipped with everything you could need. Situated in the ideal spot for touring the area. The goodies basket was most welcoming along with cheese and milk. Lovely walk down the lane & not far to the beach. Plenty of rock pools for the kids to explore. Criccieth Castle is in easy walking distance, the paths are good and well maintained wether you take the coastal path or roadside footway. We enjoyed visits to Sygun copper mine & the slate museum at Snowdon. A lovey drive around Llanberis pass allows for some excellent panoramic views of Snowdon, before arriving in Caernarfon for the castle. Arriving back at Cennin provides all the comforts of a home from home. A superb shower then a good night's sleep in very comfy beds sets you up for your next adventure. We can highly recommend Cennin for the perfect holiday. The Jennings family.

A lovely place to stay, we had some teething issues but the owners were on hand to help us, just one word of advice don’t go to prince of wales pub in Criccieth as very rude, customer service skills are awful.

Cennin is a lovely home comfortable with all the bits you need to make your stay a home from home experience

Cennin Cottage, 2nd to 9th October 2021.

This was our second visit to Cennin, the first was in October 2019. As before the cottage was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped. On arrival the ‘welcome basket’ was a lovely surprise and the addition of WiFi since our last visit much appreciated. Mr and Mrs Hughes were attentive and promptly rectified a brief problem with the boiler. The volume of traffic on the road adjacent to the cottage was heavy, but this was clearly mentioned in the description. A short walk to the left of the cottage gives access to a beach path on the opposite side of the road. Stout footwear is recommended as the route, leading to a scenic coastal walk, tends to be wet after heavy rain. Criccieth is 20 to 30 minutes walk from Cennin along a well maintained footpath at the side of the road. The cottage is well located for touring the area. Our travels included Betws-Y-Coed, the Corris Craft Centre at Machynlleth and Porthmadog for food supplies. The beautiful Lyn peninsula is a pleasant drive from the cottage and Aberdaron, with its pretty coastal church of St Hywyn’s and sandy beach is worth a visit. The local bakery is excellent for a light lunch or afternoon tea. We had a most enjoyable holiday and the weather, on the whole, was good. We hope to return to Cennin in 2022. Jackie Smith H

The cottage lived up to the photos on the website and was nice and warm at the end of September, even with no central heating on.

It was situated just outside the town with easy access to Criccieth on foot or by car. A visit to nearby Portmeirion is a must, and luckily we had a warm sunny day when we visited. The basket of Welsh goodies left by the owner was a nice touch. We would definitely visit again if holidaying in this area.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and it was lovely to visit all the old haunts we used to frequent when we had a caravan in the area.

The cottage was comfortable and well equipped but we had to take our own BBQ as they don't have one and there wasn't anywhere to dry clothes (we were lucky the weather was unusually warm and dry for late September). There is a large grassed area with a picnic table which would be nice to enjoy on a summers evening and the kitchen has patio doors that open out onto this. Although the website does mention it we found the main Criccieth - Pwllheli road that passes the cottage quite noisy at night when cars pass some at high speed - it just means you cannot have the windows open if it happens to be warm. There is a community pub about a quarter of a mile away and you can walk into Criccieth town centre which is about a mile away along a pavement, more facilities including supermarkets and a number of pubs are available at Porthmadog about 5 miles away. The Llyn peninsula is well worth a visit with some lovely countryside and many excellent beaches to chose from with Snowdonia easy to reach for those with the energy for more serious walking.

Great location, lovely cottage and very nice welcome basket.

Lovely cottage spacious,comfortable and clean with an added bonus of a little basket of tasty treats !

! Plenty of garden for the children to play in and although it is by a busy road it was never a problem .

Very spacious holiday home only downside was a very busy road.

Lovely Welcome pack and items which may be forgotten. Good quality bed linen. Really enjoyed our visit to Cieccieth and surrounding area.

Love the cottage and the location, nice walk into Criccieth either along the road (busy road but a good footpath) or you can make your way to the beach and walk in that way.

Within easy reach of many tourist attractions.

Another great Sykes holiday, spacious, comfortable house, everything we needed, clean and fresh.

Good location for exploring the Lynn peninsula, just need to be aware of the main road situation, took a moment to get used to that. Lovely 10 minute walk to the sea path. Was Good to get broadband installed whilst we were there as little 4g signal!

The house is amazing and the owners are lovely.

There’s loads of room and the power shower in the bathroom is epic There is no wifi and signal is limited, however if your not planning to stay inside much it doesn’t matter! The garden is enormous great safe lawned area for children to play. One observation was that we were contacted by Sykes asking us not to charge the Hybrid car at the house - which was annoying. So many vehicles are hybrid with more being sold this thought process may need to change. Despite the charging issue we had an amazing week - thank you.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Cenin in in mid October 2019.

The cottage was very much as detailed in Sykes literature and can best be described as warm, friendly and well equipped. The weather was not altogether brilliant but this did not matter in such comfortable and convenient accommodation. We missed our WiFi connection but overcame this by calling in at nearby Porthmadog Tesco, where free WiFi is available . We plan to return to Cenin in the future and take advantage of its location and facilities.

I met all my family,they came to me at Cennin ,they lived near by.

All my family loved the house that I was staying,I hope I’ll will be back soon, no much signal or internet,that was ok with me .

Wifi would be an advantage A better frying pan with plastic utensils The inside space and garden area are fantastic, and the house is very well fitted out

Lovely well equiped large house as discribed, the weather was good when all the rest of England and Wales had rain and floods (I don't think this is guaranteed).

If you are not a fast walker I dont think you would get to Criccieth or the beach in ten minutes. Social Media fan in our party would have liked to have had Wi-Fi.

Spacious.

Clean. Well equipped. Modern. Plenty of parking space.

Lovely house, very spacious and clean.

The only downside is the noise from the road but you get used to it. The girls enjoyed the walk down to the beach on a morning before we went off on our adventures. We've climbed castles, built castles, visited the rabbit farm and rode horses. The food at the Prince of Wales in Criccieth is reasonable. We could have done with a couple more nice days but we can't control the weather. Overall fun holiday had by all.

Comfortable, spacious, well-equipped and located in a lovely part of Wales and near many places of interest.

Very good accommodation and very clean.

It was generally well-equipped but we could have done with being provided with individual hand towels, also a rubber bath/shower mat would have been useful, and also a bread board.

Beautiful large cottage lovely and clean.

Hosts were welcoming and friendly. Great location near to beach and close to village. Only concern is the road outside of the cottage would be slightly wary if you had young children. Other than that everything was excellent.

Beautiful well equipped cottage in a great location.

Everything we needed for our family holiday including plenty of space. We were greeted by Mrs Hughes on arrival who was most helpful too. We will be back.

Generally excellent, however lacked welcome pack or even milk on arrival considering price

Lacking in small things.

No hooks on bathroom and bedroom door s despite many requests in book.No welcome pack or fresh flowers.No Wifi which is necessary when there is no phone signal Cottage felt rather impersonal.

Love this cottage: it's a home away from home.

A fabulous location which allows us to explore Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula!

Well equipped house in good position

A cottage which cannot be matched - warm, comfortable, well-eqipped, and amazingly spacious.

The location is also a winner as so many interesting places are easily accessed from Cricieth. We shall book again!

Spacious, very clean and well equipped holiday home, stayed with extended family and felt there was plenty of room, would stay again.

A very spacious and clean cottage with lovely decor and soft furnishing's.

On a busy main road, so some road noise. Broadband would have been nice as very little info on nearby restaurants, pubs and local attractions in the cottage.
