“We have done a few family cottage holidays now and this has proved to be the best accommodation we have booked, thank you.”
Certainly the rooms are generous proportions and crockery etc. all matches which made me very happy :) and is good quality, with a very generously stocked kitchen. Fridge is a very good size and cooker, hob etc. were great too. Bathrooms/toilets adequate in number for a large party of adults and also good quality. We felt like we were on holiday as soon as we got there. We really enjoyed the ample dining tables both inside and out, with the neighbour being friendly and even joining in with our quiz words over the fence!! My 78 year old mum and her partner were able to access the top suite as the stairs are steeper, but made easier by being carpeted. Criccieth was not difficult to park in even on a busy day so long as you are happy to drive around the block/along the front so all 3 cars we brought were able to park for free all week even though the sun was shining for most of it (during August) so I guess it was 'busy'. Best day out was definitely Portmeirion which comes highly recommended if you like a wander and architecture etc. We also had a body board at Hell's mouth (approx 30 mins drive and stunning/wild, viewed later from Plas in Rhiw) Surprisingly the kebab shop in Criccieth is worth a mention being well stocked with groceries/alcohol at the back and good takeaway food (book early for collection later) Close dog beach next to the castle, but the best one was the other side of Dylans - 5 mins walk along the promenade. Once the tide is lower there is a decent stretch of sand to run the dogs on a bit further round the bay if your pooch is shy of stones as our greyhounds are! The only reason I would not book again is that we like to discover somewhere new each year. Felt really emotional unpacking as we enjoyed it all so much !!!!!!
