“Lovely house , well situated for amenities and the views across the bay were excellent.”

Nice to see the castle from the top floor which was illuminated at night. Plenty of crockery, cutlery etc as well as cleaning materials.

“Morfin was in a great location and was very comfortable for the week for ourselves, my father and our two whippets.”

The owners were we're responsive, helpful and friendly. We had everything we needed and where able to use the heating when required when the weather became a little chilly in the evening. Criccieth is a great place with lovely beach walk, ice-cream, fish and chips and Dylans boardwalk on a sunny day is so lovely. The top floor carpet and bed coverings had some large dog hairs and could benefit from a good hoovering but we appreciate that this is a dog friendly house. This didn't detract from our holiday at all. It's just a housekeeping comment and easily addressed. Thanks for our stay, we had such a lovely time and would recommend Morfin.

- Catherine, May 2022

Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback. We are glad you found the house comfortable . Apologies for the dog hairs. Guests are expected not to allow dogs on beds but…….We do hoover on changeover day but obviously not enough on this occasion. Property Owner

John October 2021

“An excellent property very well equipped and situated in the perfect spot for the beach, pubs,shops etc.”

One small thing - though listed as dog friendly and indeed it was inside, the external space was a bit limited. However, the beach was just outside and George and Bernard had a great time!

- John, October 2021

Thank you for your kind comments. Our dog enjoys the beach too. Property Owner
Robin October 2021

“The cottage was perfect.”

Great location, close to all amenities especially the ice cream shop/cafe! The owners Mike and Jilll were lovely in every respect, informative prior to the visit, helpful at the time we collected the keys and generous in what they did to accommodate our needs.

- Robin, October 2021

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. It was a surprise to discover that one of your group was the brother of the man from whom we bought the house. I hope he approved of the changes. Property Owner

“We had a lovely week at Morfin, and thought the house was so charming and welcoming.”

The living room is particularly attractive and cosy, and all the bedrooms are very comfortable with good quality mattresses. The top room has magnificent views over sea and mountains, and is fitted out to a wonderfully high spec, including its wet room ensuite. The kitchen is well equipped and cheerful. As a dog owner I did wonder before the holiday where I could find a grassy place for my dog, but was happy to find a grassy alleyway at the end of the garden which my dog was happy to use. The house is ideally located for getting to the beach and the castle, and there was a really good vegan cafe just a few steps away, plus an excellent fish and chip shop. It's well situated too for visiting the Lleyn Peninsula, Snowdonia and the Rhinogs. We would love to return. The house has such a lovely welcoming feel!

- Rosemary, August 2021

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. It is refreshing to communicate with someone who appreciates Morfin, a comfortable well equipped Victorian house with stunning views and a connection to Lloyd George. We are delighted that you felt the welcoming vibe and would like to return. Property Owner

“Lovely well appointed property with lots of thoughtful extras.”

Excellent location with beautiful views and a stone’s throw from the beach. I loved the little wild flower garden which was magical in the afternoon/evening sun.

Clare September 2020

“Lovely cottage, excellent location near the centre of criccieth and the beach.”

The photos on line make the house look slightly better than it is in real life - very clever photography!!! But all in all a lovely place and a lovely mini break

Wolfie July 2020

“Your support page for Covid was really helpful.”

It helped keep my anxieties at bay and be confident I would get to the holiday in the end. We loved the house, the top room is a bit hot so the fan in there was very helpful. The back bedroom disappointed our daughter intitially because she said it was like a grandma bedroom. It’s the one room that would benefit an upgrade. Although she grew to love it so not sure it’s urgent. The owners were really helpful and especially kind as I walked off with their keys. The house is in a perfect situation with the ice cream shop at the end of the road and the chippy round the corner. They have been a godsend during outdoor only dining.

Nick October 2019

“Perfect location, extremely well appointed property which was very well equipped ensuring we had everything we needed.”

We were particularly appreciative of being welcomed and shown round by the owner. All in all the perfect holiday. We will definitely be returning

Sara September 2019

“This was the 4th time we have stayed in Morfin and we loved it just as much as ever.”

The house is homely and comfortable, well equipped and in a really great location close to the Castle, beach, Cadwalladers ice cream shop and the chip shop - what more could you ask for? Only small problem can be the parking, even with it being low season and parking allowed on both sides of the street, it was sometimes necessary to leave the car away from the house but it wasn’t a major problem.

- Sara, September 2019

“Great having two bathrooms but a few little things need sorting out.”

Bara Brith, milk and Owners contact were all nice touches.

Gina Mott Jul 2018

“Excellent location.”

Yard was not totally secure for our dog but the cottage itself was comfortable, clean and very well equipped. Lovely cottage for 5 people and a dog, plenty of space for us all. Close to local amenities.

Cath Clarke Apr 2018

“The house had everything we needed.”

Fantastic views across the bay from the front bedrooms. Spacious for my family and dog. Great location- 5mins walk to the beach and a couple of lovely cafes. Chippy around the corner and a great ice cream parlour a few doors away. Will definitely be going again.

- Cath Clarke, Apr 2018
Caroline Jones Apr 2018

“John the owner welcomed us to the home and was more than happy to give us tips on the local area.”

The home had everything we needed, was a lovely size and so well placed for exploring the local area. We spent a long weekend, parked on the Friday and didn't move the car again until Monday because we just loved the local walks. Felt truly relaxed upon return. Can't wait to go back.

- Caroline Jones, Apr 2018

“Would definitely book through Menai Holidays again and recommend to friends and family.”

“The space was quite restricted.”

The washing line was not generous enough for a family's washing, and several things in the house were out of order.

The property

Such a comfy holiday house, with lovely views towards Moel Y Gest.

Once the home of former Prime Minister David Lloyd George, who lived at Morfin from the age of 16 for ten years.

As a solicitor he had his first office in what is now the dining room! "Morfin is in a great location, just a short walk to the beach, Ice cream parlour and restaurants, you can't help but enjoy staying in Criccieth all year round" Within a short walk from Morfin you can enjoy Criccieth's interesting individual shops, galleries, good restaurants and cafes.

One of the best fish and chip shops in North Wales is just up the road, as is the famous Cadwalader's Ice Cream.

Morfin is peaceful, calm and relaxing, with soft colours and interesting bits and bobs.

I love the lamp in the dining room and the David Lloyd George corner on the landing where you can sit and soak up the view or quietly read a book. A comfy Victorian house in a delightful Victorian seaside town.

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: Although garden is enclosed it is not dog proof for small dogs as gaps between gates quite big and the wall is low
