Tyddyn Sianel - Derw

Excellent place to stay, hosts very welcoming, i would definitely go back again

What a lovely place to stay, the welcome pack was a nice surprise, especially the home made cake.

We were welcomed by Nicola and shown how to work the hot tub, offered extra pillows and told to ask for anything else we needed, our hosts couldn’t have been more helpful. It was clean and cosy, just what we needed, we look forward to going back sometime, Thank you Nicola for your excellent hospitality

This was our second time staying here which we enjoyed just as much as the first time!

Property was fabulous.

Fully equipped kitchen with absolutely everything that you could possibly need included. Hot tub was private and perfect. Bed was comfy. Hosts were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. The place itself was handy for getting about. Best fish and chips ever in Cricceith.

Welcome was lovely and genuine.

There was tea, coffee and milk for us to make a cuppa, along with a home made bara brith. The cottage was super clean, and finished to a high standard. Bed was comfy and we were offered pillows to suit us. The owners said that we could ask for ironing board and iron if needed along with hairdryer and fans etc., nothing was too much trouble. The hot tub in the cottage's private garden was lovely and super clean. The property is near a busy road so there is a little noise from there, but nothing major and only during "rush hour". With the windows closed, all is silent. There is a place to buy eggs just up the village road and they are lovely. We came to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and we were given an extra bottle of prosecco which was very thoughtful. I had been to Llanystumdwy with my parents on holiday when I was 13, it was so lovely we came back three years on the trot! Of course the village has got bigger and sadly I couldn't remember where our cottage was, but it is still lovely and North Wales is beautiful.... and Cadwalladers still serves the best ice cream in the world!!

Lovely accommodation!

In a beautiful area not far from many Welsh beaches. Perfect for a trip away. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful

A friendly welcome from Nicola and John.

Milk, Barabrith and Prosecoco was awaiting us in the kitchen, a lovely treat. The cottage is very well equipped, a real home from home. It is well located for visiting all places on the peninsula. Or, as we prefer, plenty of walking from the cottage. I would highly recommend. Many thanks for providing such a fantastic getaway.

We both had a fantastic time in this beautiful cottage it was just perfect to explore the surrounding area.

The hosts were lovely and welcoming. The cottage has everything you need so clean and comfy and the hot tub was just gorgeous after our walks We will definitely return soon x

Second stay here and hopefully not the last.

Small but perfectly laid out, clean, modern, comfy and the added bonus of the lovely hot tub, which is excellent after a long day walking on the walks and beaches. Some great eateries for the size of Criccieth. Take a trip from the local train station along to Porthmadog or Barmouth - the beach is brilliant at Barmouth. Back to the property - small kind touches like fresh flowers, Bara Bryth and wine and the friendliness of the owners adds to joy of a holiday here.

Brilliant short break.

The accommodation, the hosts, the location and the hot tub all brilliant. Couldn't fault anything and will return.

Great, welcoming and good situation.

A very comfortable stay in a small, clean and well-equipped gottage.

Perfect location and friendly owners make this a place to wish to return to in the future!

The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and lovely and warm.

The property owners are as always very helpful, friendly and cannot do enough for you.

The owners were very welcoming and helpful.

The property was perfect for our short break. Ideal for 2 of us to use as a base to explore the coastal path.

Had a wonderful holiday, the accommodation is excellent, the owners were very helpful, beautiful location, couldn’t ask for more, highly recommended.

A gem of a place to stay.

Spotless, well equipped and nice welcome pack. We choose location so we could visit Porthmadog and Caernarvon. Plenty of stores in Porthmadog. So good we expect to return in 2026, hopefully with another couple

It was a good time to go away on a break.

The accommodation was excellent and the hosts were really welcoming and explained things properly about our stay. Everything about the stay was really lovely. Would highly recommend.

Owners were just truly wonderful welcoming people.

Well designed and equipped cottage.

Immaculate throughout. Hosts are really friendly. Welcome pack of milk, wine & cake was a nice touch. The Llyn peninsula is beautiful, with well signed walking paths all around the coast

When we arrived Nicola came over to us to say hello, give us a few pointers on what's where and to say if we needed anything to just let them know.

This set the tone for our one week stay as Nicola and John were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Possibly the best hosts we've had whilst travelling around the UK. It felt like self catering with the best hotel service. The generous welcome pack of milk, Welsh fruit bread and a bottle of Prosecco was greatly appreciated

We stayed at Tyddyn Sianel - Derw over the early May bank holiday having only booked a couple of weeks earlier.

What a beautiful stay we had, the cottage was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. The Prosecco and the cake were lovely extra touches and the hot tub was very welcome after a day climbing Snowdon. The cottage is in a great location with Criccieth only minutes away and a short drive to Snowdon, Beddgelert and Borth-y-gest. The owners Nicola and John were great with communicating before we arrived and were on hand to answer any enquires about the local area. Nothing was too much trouble and we can’t wait to go back to this little hidden gem. Many thanks, Liz and Phil

The cottage was lovely, home from home, and the owners very caring and nearby if help required.

Fabulous cottage and perfect for the romantic getaway.

The cottage is fitted to the highest standard with all creature comforts included to make it a stay away that feels like home from home. The hot tub is a real bonus; perfect for starlit nights to end a day exploring the local area. Nicola and John are welcoming hosts, providing friendly advice if needed. The cottage is perfectly situated in the quiet village of Llanystumdwy, away from the hustle and bustle, and within walking distance of the beach, coastal path and Criccieth. The kitchen is well equipped, and the bed is super comfy. Highly recommended.

This is a great property in a fabulous location for exploring the Llyn Peninsula.

An amazing find, situated in a quiet village and well within reach of some of the areas main attractions and beauty spots.

The property itself has everything equipped for two people stay very comfortably without the need to bring any utensils. We were very surprised to find everything we needed and more. The bed is extremely comfortable as is the amazing sofa which we spent the evenings relaxing on after time in the hot tub! I cannot recommend this as a place to stay enough and hope others enjoy their stay as much as we did.

The cottage was perfect.

It was honestly the best cottage for a couple looking for a relaxing getaway. The area was perfect the coast of Wales was literally 2 mins down the road. The hot tub was amazing the Mrs and I spent so much time in there. Nicola was so lovely and welcoming she was only a text away whenever we needed her.

Quite possibly the best holiday cottage we have stayed in.

Nicola & John was so welcoming & friendly but not intrusive during our stay. The cottage is immaculate & well equipped. The hot tub was fantastic & we have lost count regarding the amount of prosecco quaffed in there. We booked for 5 nights but could of easily stopped for 10. We went here to celebrate our 5th Wedding Anivesary & Nicola & John made it extra special with bottles of prosecco & a card. Well done Nicola & John you have it spot on.

We had a fantastic stay, we loved it so much that we can't wait to return for our next weekend way.

Very warm welcome from Nicola & John, which included Prosecco & delicious bara brith fruit cake and they gave very helpful advice on the local area and eating places. The accommodation was exceptionally clean and well equipped, very comfortable and the rear garden with the hot tub was private and got the sun from early morning to late afternoon. The hot tub was drained, cleaned and refilled between bookings and John tested the water in the hot tub on a daily basis. Overall very high standard of accommodation and we will certainly return and recommend to friends and family.

The holiday was great, it's a lovely part of Wales to visit with loads to do.
