Cae'r Dyni (Caer Dyni)

Caer Dyni is exceptional.

The house has all the space, equipment and comfort for our extended family to enjoy. Everything is well planned and in fine condition. The location is ideal - panoramic views of the sea and Criccieth Castle. The property fully deserves its five star rating. Future guests will not be disappointed.

This is our second time at Cae’r Dyni visiting in October with our 3 grandchildren.

The property itself is lovely. It’s very well equipped and decorated with fantastic unobstructed views out to sea. Good WiFi, essential for the two teenagers. The beach (pebbles) is a 5 minute walk across a field opposite . Criccieth centre is a 10 minute walk , and there is a Lidl, Aldi and large Tesco in Porthmadog a 10 minute drive away. Highly recommended property and we would not hesitate to visit again.

Outstanding property in every sense.

Great location, amazing views, well-appointed inside to a high specification. Will definitely return!

We stayed with 7 persons in this lovely cottage and enjoyed to feel like a real home.

It started with a warm welcome well prepared heated and welcome gift. We loved the sea view and the short way to Criccieth and the beaches. Thanks for having us.

The cottage was everything we could have hoped for.

Location for the area is ideal, with travel times to beaches, local areas of interest and Snowdonia, The views from the front of the property are stunning. The cottage was very well appointed with a well stocked kitchen, a gtreat dining area and a very comfortable lounge

A wonderful holiday cottage, that had everything you needed.

We were very lucky with the weather and loved just sitting and looking at the views in this beautiful part of the country. We were really pleased that everything you needed was on hand, including the housekeeper who was exceptional. We will definitely be staying again. All the bedrooms and the living rooms are clean and comfortable and a pleasure to spend time in. This cottage is definitely going to be our new place to go.

We all thought the location brilliant.

Lounge was comfy with a axing views abd brilliant for a evening of games. All rooms are a good size so we were never on top of each other, kitchen was well stocked and could easily prepare evening meals. Loved the ice dispenser. Table good size to sit around with yet again brilliant views. All bedrooms had sea views, couple who had the master bedroom mentioned that the bed seemed smaller than a double but that was the only negative comment. Procecco was a lovely touch thank. Would 100% recommend this property amazing holiday thank you

Cae’r Dyni is a wonderful holiday home.

The views are amazing, the beds very comfortable and the kitchen exceptionally well equipped. There was plenty of room for eight of us ( including two very excited young children). The owners have obviously put a great deal of thought and care into the facilities on offer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property for a lovely holiday break. Thank you Pam and family

A beautiful home in a gorgeous setting overlooking the sea & the castle at Criccieth.

A very comfortable & luxury home. The house is well appointed there was not a thing we could want for. The living areas were very comfortable & we loved the family kitchen dinning room. The masterbedroom & ensuite bathroom were wonderful. I would love to return again. However I feels its far to a home for big for two people. We were hoping to be joined by family members but circumstances prevented them from joining us. I would thoroughly recommend a stay in this beautiful home by the sea.

This is a comfortable and well-equipped property in a great location.

It is ideal for an extended family, as we were, and in particular the downstairs living accommodation. The utility/boot room served us particularly well when returning from walks in Storm Agnes!

Thanks for a wonderful base for our holiday.

It was perfect for a group of walkers who love cooking.

Lovely house and position.

Well stocked kitchen. No mention of the twin room being downstairs. Grandparents in that room not close to a bathroom. Mattresses poor, causing a bad back.3 members of our party banged their heads on utility door to exit. No warnings of its low height. Excellent wi fi. Good parking. 2 showers were very small.

House itself is exceptionally comfortable with spectacular views of the sea.

Fantastic location. Beach a 2 minute walk downhill. Town a 5 minute walk away. Lots of walks around the area. Snowdon etc all easily drivable. Fab stay. Thank you.

Great house in perfect location; spacious, comfortable inside and on terrace; lacked nothing and we had brilliant weather.

The only improvement I could suggest is a more accessible shower or at least a grab handle.

What an absolutely fabulous house.

It was just as described, and a perfect location. Went swimming most mornings so ideal to just stroll down the hill. Amazing views whichever way you turn, and small touches like having binoculars to borrow was great. We also were blessed with amazing weather so an added bonus. Will definitely return.

Fantastic property.

It’s a beautiful spacious house, with views over the sea and within walking distance of the town centre. Spotlessly clean, well-equipped, warm and comfortable. We loved it, probably the best holiday home we’ve stayed in.

Cae'r Dyni is the most outstanding cottage we have ever stayed in.

From the moment you step into it, it feels like home. The cottage is amazing and the views are stunning and can be enjoyed from every room. I can't believe I was able to watch the waves role in while brushing my teeth! The quality of design to the property is second to none. We are a family of 6 and there was plenty of room and facilities ( cups, glasses etc) which was fantastic and really appreciated. I am completely in love with this property and will definitely be back in the future.

Beautiful location, very comfortable and beautifully furnished.

The only negative was the check in and out times 9am leave and 5.30pm arrival - it's a whole day - it has really put me off booking again.

Our third stay and still really excellent and well kept The views are great and it’s so suitable for our family We have booked again for next year but would appreciate an earlier check in time and a bit later leaving time as we miss nearly a day

An absolutely fantastic property in a stunning surroundings.

All the rooms were very comfortable, beautifully decorated and had lovely views. Had all the facilities and more. We all wished we could have stayed another week. We'll definitely come back again.

Cae’r Dyni is absolutely wonderful, perfect house, perfect setting, I could stay there forever, every window gives views of wonderful Criccieth and it’s castle.

Outstanding holiday home with everything you could wish for and more!

Maintained to the highest standard I'm a stunning location

The location of this property is outstanding.

A beautiful house in a beautiful location.

The best equipped holiday cottage we’ve ever stayed in

A fantastic base to our walking holiday .

Fantastic accommodation with everything that we needed to relax after busy days of walking the coast have booked a return visit next year . Would highly recommend

Such a lovely setting we were seduced into spending 2 days at the property rather than go out for the day.

The local fish & chip shop is good but not good enough to warrant my husband’s hour in the queue!

Second visit to Caer Dyni and still excellent so have booked again for next year !

’ Good service from Sykes who dealt with any concerns very quickly and friendly

Excellent cottage, all amenities that you require, taste fully decorated (like the weather station), warm and cosy,plenty of space for us all,fantastic views, easy walk to get to town centre or beach (good sand when tide out), supermarkets close by, local shops good, fish and chips opposite Castle brilliant, wish we could have stayed longer.

This was our 6th visit to Caer Dyni which very much suggests that we like it.

My only minor criticism is that, for us, the bed in the master bedroom isn't big enough and is uncomfortable. We put up with that though as this is a lovely place.

We had a fantastic stay at Cae’r Dyni and the views are wonderful .

In fact the photos and description on line don’t do it justice !! It exceeded our expectations. The master en suite in its own wing is especially good and all very well equipped and clean So good that we have booked it already for next year !!!

The fifth time we have rented this family house.

Fantastic position, facilities and atmosphere.

Stunning views, beautiful and well equipped house.

Extremely comfortable.

The house is beautifully decorated and the layout is excellent for a large family holiday.

The location is perfect as you can walk to the beach, which we did in all weathers. The house has everything you need from kitchen items to amazing sea views from every window. One downside if I had to have one is the WiFi signal is poor, this was not an issue for us but for some Families maybe an issue.

This was our 5th visit to this particular cottage so we know it very well and love it.

We booked last year through Menai and were sad to see them absorbed by Sykes as we preferred the local knowledge offered. It was far more difficult to extend this stay and to organise next year as a result of the merger.

This tastefully renovated cottage was perfect for our extended family holiday.

Stunning location with amazing views of the sea and surrounding countryside.

Caer Dyni is a beautiful home offering a luxurious environment to spend a holiday. Every need is taken care of and the property is spacious and very well maintained.It is even better in reality than the illustrations on the Menai Holidays website. Impossible to fault.

Beautiful well presented and stylish house.

This house is outstanding.

The location is amazing, views all around. The interior is first class with quality fixtures and fittings. Lovely soft furnishings making a very comfortable home from home.Perfect.

Beautiful, comfortable house with fantastic views and easy walk to beach through field.

Excellent clean house, in fabulous position.

Few irritating things......washing left in washer, no bin liners, no dish cloths, leak in Hall with heavy rain (was noted previously apparently) Would have been 5 Stars otherwise.

Lovely cottage - fabulous location.

Just a little niggle - need some small tables to put cups/glasses when sitting in living room.

Supberb house and location and what a view !

A real home from home. Quality and uniqueness throughout. Very clean.

The cottage was everything we could have wished for and exactly as shown on the photos on the internet.

The views are breathtaking. We all enjoyed our time at Cae'r Dyni and would recommend the cottage to potential visitors.

Comfortable and well located.

Had the best time here.

Lovely house and beautiful views. Would come back in a heart beat, from us in Canada, Birmingham and Wales

Not sure where to start, and if I had time I'd be writing for hours, but we need to be out of the house in 10 mins.

This property is probably one of the best we have stayed in. Cannot fault a thing (bar no gin glasses) but we always take our own!! You have catered for everything. The property is spacious, has been well designed & the little touches finish everything off to perfection. As I write this I am staring at the at the most amazing view- and yes we will miss it without a doubt. Two families and a dog (broxton) thank you for allowing us to share your wonderful property. It truly is amazing and we will be back for sure we will. The smiths & Blacklocks from Chester xxx

We've had a lovely week in the area and the house.

It's as beautiful house, with the most wonderful view to enjoy whatever the weather. We commented throughout the week on how lovely the décor is, how clean and cared for the house is. The perfect place for a family get together and we wouldn't hesitate to come back again. Thank you

We've had a lovely week staying in your fantastic holiday home.

The views are outstanding and the accommodation exceptionally good. Thank you! Hoping to come back.

Wonderful house, wonderful views, wonderful Llyn Peninsula.

We've had a lovely time walking the beach and exploring. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

What a wonderful property, and location is superb.

To wake up to those views is amazing every morning. We have all had a great time and hope to return next year. Thank you or the prosecco, very much appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful stay, absolutely beautiful view! Thank you x

Beautiful house in a lovely location.

Exceptionally well stocked kitchen and facilities. We very much enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the holiday home to others. The view is stunning. We all slept incredibly well, which is definitely a bonus with a 2 year old and 7 year old. It's been lovely Thank you xx

Fantastic Stay.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your amazing house. We have had a great week, walking, mountain biking and generally just chilling. We have so enjoyed looking out at the views with a cup of tea and a good book. Pete had his 43rd Birthday here and had a brill day. The only downside of our week was it went far too quickly!! Fingers crossed we will be able to come back next year as we love this part of the world. Thanks again The Yates

We have enjoyed our stay at Caer Dyni.

It has been our 40th/Ruby wedding anniversary, which we celebrated in your beautiful well appointed home. You seem to have thought of most things your guests could need/want. A comfortable, luxurious home which we have enjoyed very much. The setting of Caer Dyni is outstanding with wonderful view out to sea and along the coast to Criccieth. Staying here this close to the sea has been very soothing and relaxing. It has made us realise how important it is to us to be close to the sea. We had a wonderful meal at The Goat Inn, Glandwyfach, LL519LJ. We fully recommend going for great home cooked food. Thank you to all involved in making out stay such a pleasure.

We are back!

Another fantastic week at this lovely house. Really enjoyed waking up to the views, again, and chilling out with a cuppa. Lots of walking including going up Snowdon (7th time for me and still cloudy at the top!) Weather has been variable, but the house is so warm and cozy it did not matter. Fingers crossed we can come back again next year

A lovely spot to enjoy the views in all weathers.

A couple of days hunkered indoor as so windy and rainy - making brownies and strawberry tart, salads and dinners to share. Went on the woodland wanderer railway from Porthmadog - a must! 3 must do beaches: Llanbedrog (early when the tide is in & sun shining). Also, Ty Coch Inn on North Coast, and of course the whistling sands - early and then you have it to yourself - unspoilt beaches! Port Meirion was of course a place to visit and ensure you have an ice cream - banana is best! Overall, enjoyed our stay. A lovely house and spot. Many thanks!

Great accommodation, lovely views.

A home away from home with everything you need at hand. We look forward to coming again.

We had a truly wonderful stay!

The house is spacious, comfortable and beautifully kept with stunning views that we never tired of admiring. The perfect place to relax and unwind.

A home away from home, we really don't want to leave!

Stunning views, gorgeous house, well equipped and lovely interior design. Amazing place for a special family holiday. Thank you so much for sharing.

I enjoyed the week soo much.

The view from all windows is just beautiful! When we arrived everything was super tidy and organised. It really is just a gorgeous house. I really hope that we come back here someday s it was soo much fun. I wish we didn't have to leave. It has felt so comfortable and spacious

Oh we so loved this house.

This utterly amazing beautiful house. Every little detail was perfect and the designer must feel such satisfaction. Whenever they walk around. The views soothed the ruffled feathers of the soul as did the log fires and the sumptuous bath! We hoped to rewind to be calmed lay of the sea and the expanse of wood in this luxurious yet still cosy home.

Loved it here from the moment of arrival.

Hope to come back to such a well stocked kitchen, to eat with such magnificent views. What a view - felt tike a lord out of the door and straight to the sea - P.S. beautiful little adder found on the path! Fantastic house in great location. Surprisingly good weather given the forecast, would love to visit again. Summitted Snowdon walked out favourites path and enjoyed in Nefyn. Amazing location, with a hop skip and a jump to the beach - Ty Coch Inn and walk to it a highlight for me

A curtailed trip and fewer of us that had been planned- Sadly.

We had intended on Xmas here, but illness etc. We arrived late on Thurs 26th in the dark to a warm and welcoming house, beautifully decorated for Christmas. We really appreciated it all. What a stunning setting of amazing views from nearly every window. The foggy weather hasn't shown off the view to their best but its been quite eerie too! and when we could see Criccieth Castle - well what a sight! Great kitchen for cooking in. Well-equipped! Loved the comfortable sitting rom too. Very communal for endless games! We did a beautiful walk from Nantmor car park up the hill through the woods to Beddgelert and back down the river. Visited Abersoch and walked the sections of the north Llyn around whistling sands of Morfa Nefyn. Loved the setting of Ty Coch Inn - a must. Very much enjoyed our family 8am session at Criccieth Sauna - complete with cold plunge and a sea swim Dec 28th! Had a very enjoyable meal at Dylan's one night. Thank you! What a beautiful house!

Very well equipped house.

Every need catered for! Cosy living room and comfortable sofas. All bedrooms, very cosy and comfortable too. Amazing views and walks from the house, like looking at a postcard when you step out of the door. Thank you for providing a 5 star accommodation. We don't want to go home. We will definitely be back in the summer!

Amazing accommodation, can't get enough of the views!

So much to do nearby, plenty of beaches to explore and enjoy, especially for Ralph who enjoyed plenty of zoomies! We've had an absolutely lovely time and do not want to come home. Would definitely come again!

Wonderful stay!

We loved the house, the location and even the weather! See you again!

We've had such a lovely week!

What a perfect house. The views are stunning and we've loved watching the sunsets over the castle every evening. The house has been so comfortable and had everything we could possibly need - thank you for the welcome treats. It's all been fabulous and we hope to be back again really soon! Thanks so much for letting us stay in your beautiful house!
