Stayed for one night, 10th June 2023, the hosts Huw and Kirsty couldn't have been more welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We were shown to our room and Huw explained that it was next on the list for renovation, but it was more than adequate. Please don't change that bed 😁.
Several breakfast options, went for the full Welsh breakfast, tasted amazing.
Seriously, couldn't fault it, would definitely go back if in the area.

Had a lovely romantic getaway. Swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, gym all literally 10 metres away from the room.
Also a great little games room with pool, air hockey, video games, table tennis and much more all free of charge, again opposite the room. Lots of friendly farm animals that you can visit as often as you wish, the hosts are great and nothing is too much trouble for them. We’ll definitely be returning.

Spotlessly clean. Well equipped.
Great position and waterside views from front. Occasional train noise at rear.
We were there in heatwave so a couple of fans would have been useful.

Compact but certainly adequate property for 2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 12. Excellent location for walking to the beach and for traveling the peninsula.
Couple of minor downsides - the garden was close but not necessarily convenient, and could do with instructions for the hob but we eventually managed but not mastered it 🤔

Lovely stay, large open space property, pet friendly with huge open grass space(far left corner dog can exit, so be aware). Parking on site. Super views from balcony. Beach and town all within walking distance. We could easily be happy if we'd retired here.

The cottage was perfect. The location was beautiful and the garden was lovely to sit in. The house was clean and had everything we needed. There were helpful instructions for everything and Gareth was at hand if we needed anything else. We would definitely recommend and hope to visit again soon.

The cottage was lovely and cosy. Spotlessly clean and the hot tub was ideal. It was ideal for the dog with a secure enclosed outside area to let it out into. Lovely walks from the front door, especially 10 minutes to beach and then 7 mile walk to Pwllheli.

Cosy cottage - perfect for two and a dog. The cottage sits on its own, and has a secure gated driveway, but the added convenience of being just off the main road into Criccieth and Pwllheli, and with a mile walk to the beach. Well equipped in the main, though take your own loo rolls! Booked through Hotels.com but actually through Sykes Cottages, who offered great service on the phone.
Although it would have been nice to have sufficient logs for our stay on arrival, when we requested more, there...
