Hafod Y Mor

We loved our stay.

Better than the photos. Decent outdoor seating, really well appointed kitchen. Views of the castle to the right and mountains to the left. Stunning! Probably the best house in Criccieth. It really is a short walk to the beach, the lovely sauna, crazy golf, Dylon's restaurant and gorgeous bakery just up the road. We wanted to avoid heatwaves and airports and we got perfect Summer weather. All boxes ticked. Really appreciated some of the stock items, washing up liquid, good quality loo roll, charging cables for gadgets, bottle of sparkling and a couple of pints of milk in the awesome American style fridge freezer. Thank you! We all want to go back!

Lovely property.

Couple of issues which were resolved quickly. Only negative for us was it lacked some comfortable outdoor seating. What was there was just a few old looking chairs (from a cube table but no table) and a wooden pub style bench. Couldn't use for long as was uncomfortable. Other than that it was a really good property and would recommend booking.

A spectacular property with a view to die for

This is an absolute gem, the location on top of the hill means the view to the bay and castle is spectacular (we saw dolphins a few mornings).

The house is really well kept with really up to date appliances & decor, money has been spent to make sure it feels luxurious. The additional touches don’t go unnoticed, you keep getting a nice surprise with all the high quality bits and pieces that are around the house. Criccieth is a lovely little place as well, we enjoyed the castle and the little shops there (cakes from idris are yummy and Dylan’s is a nice meal out), everything is basically on your doorstep but with the house up on the hill you definitely have your own space away. Perfect! We loved staying here and are already talking about returning, this can’t be somewhere to only stay once!

Wow what an amazing house in a fabulous location.

The house is even better than the photos online. The house was so clean and so well equipped. We had three generations of our family staying and the house met the needs of everyone. Honestly one of the best holiday homes we have ever stayed in - the owners have thought of everything. The kitchen is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need with a very handy utility room. It was lovely to come back from our many hikes to relax in the comfy sofas with a glass of wine looking out to the fabulous views and then a great night’s sleep in the comfy beds. Thank you we had such a great holiday and would definitely book again.

Fabulous house, with seamless checking in/out.

The house contained everything we needed, had a perfect layout for a group, and what views! Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Thank you for little welcome gifts!

Wow!

That is the only word that describes Hafod Y Mor. From the moment we pulled onto the driveway we were blown away, the house is just gorgeous and the views are simply amazing. Everything has been thought of and we found we lacked for nothing during our stay; a fully equipped kitchen, binoculars to take in the fabulous views, a thoughtful welcome pack, games and towels and bowls for doggy friends. We were even lucky enough to see dolphins in the bay, not once, but twice! Magical. If you're thinking of booking this property then I would say don't hesitate. We booked last minute due to a family member being seriously ill and wanting to go somewhere outstanding to make some fabulous memories and Hafod Y Mor delivered that and so much more. The kids loved the bed in the wall and the football table and the adults spent many an hour enjoying the fabulous views. Criccieth is a lovely little town with some nice unique shops, the chip shop by the Castle is a must for any visit and we had a meal at Dylans to celebrate our final evening, which was outstanding. We hope to return. Thanks again for a fabulous and memory making stay.

Stunning modern house with breathtaking views .

A window Blind is needed to the upstairs bedroom ceiling / velux window to ensure uninterrupted sleep.

Lovely property with breathtaking views.

Perfect for our family get together.

A fabulous house with an amazing view.

Thoroughly enjoyed our family get together and the house had everything we needed. We know North Wales well and this is the best house we have stayed in.

Beautiful location overlooking castle & beach.

Our 2nd stay &, again, very impressed with the house and contents. House very warm (a good thing!) but it would be useful to have summer weight bed quilts.

Excellent and spacious but could have done with more cupboards and hanging for clothes in the family bedroom.

Great views. Easy access.

Fantastic property, completely surpassed our expectations.

Great location for easy access to Criccieth. Hope to be able to book again in the future

We had a fantastic week over Christmas at the lovely house.

The facilities and amenities on whole were top class, as was the location to local restaurants and the pub. However with 4 teenagers, the internet was not very good, and for a large house that sleeps 10, we did expect this to be better. I would say it is most suited to 8 adults and 2 children. We had a lovely time over all and would recommend to others .

The WOW factor of this property is obviously the superb views and huge skies, where you can watch the sunrise and sunset from the same spot.

The house suited our family, aged 7 to 77, and was in a great location. The negative was the poor WiFi, (non existent downstairs) which meant having to go out to send work emails.

A beautiful place to stay as a large family.

Superior interior design and comfort. Fantastic location

The house is well designed to make the most of the incredible views come rain or shine and at every time of the day.

There was plenty of room for 8 adults and a dog to spread out or spend time together. We enjoyed the games, table football and table tennis which gave us plenty to do in the evenings. The house is in easy reach of the beach, town and everything that this beautiful part of Wales has to offer. This is one of the best holiday houses we've stayed in and we'd gladly come back.

Was everthing we wanted from our break friends over from New Zealand and we all thought views were spectacular

Beautiful house in a stunning location.

Views are to die for. House was spotlessly clean and every need catered for. We will be back soon. In fact it was so good, we stayed another night - thank you to the owners for agreeing to our request. Lots of super design features in this house too. Swinging chairs, rotor blade stair rail, built in wireless speakers … the list goes on. Wildlife and birds to the rear of the property absolutely stunning too. Thanks for a fab holiday.

Our family had a wonderful week at Hafod y Mor.

The house had everything we needed for a great stay and all generations could occupy themselves during the stormy weather we unfortunately had. However, the view from the windows across the sea made the weather all the more bearable and it’s true to say it, enjoyable. Just a few things could make the stay even better: a larger cheese grater; clearer instructions on which outdoor recycling bins contain what as many council instructions vary and we were unsure of local ones. We will definitely be back!

A fantastic property with, perhaps, the most spectacular views of sunrise & sunset in Wales.

It was a superb place for our family get together. The owners have provided 'attention to detail' in all aspects & should be applauded.

Property was lovely, spotlessly clean and lightly decorated for Christmas.

The most important showpiece of this property is the huge glass door in the living room/kitchen. You can spend hours just watching the bay. First day in and we had the delight to watch a red kite immediately outside the front! The appliances are high quality and the included washing up liquid/soap was a nice touch. So often cottages just leave one dishwasher tablet or a tiny amount of soap meaning you have to run to the shops. Three very minor points for us: - It took us 15 minutes to open the front door on arrival. The lock is very stiff and the trick is to pull the door and turn the key. Probably due to the prevailing wind battering the front of the property in inclement weather. Yes, I did panic when I couldn't get in as it was the 23rd December. - The main glass door in the living room wouldn't close properly. Consequently it was a little drafty upstairs in the gale force winds we had. I think the door lock bar needs re-seating. - Better information about the bins would be good. We were unclear what could be recycled and where it should be placed and if we were meant to put the bins out on a certain day. Hopefully we did it right.

A very beautiful holiday home.

The views are breathtaking. Kitchen is very well equipped and I have never cooked or washed up with such spectacular views. Our only issue was the noise of the building works on a daily basis which I do realise is outside the owners control but did spoil a perfect week.

Absolutely outstanding property, we will definitely be returning!

Despite pretty bad weather we had a great time in Criccieth, in part because of this excellent house.

Spacious, well prepared, comfortable and equipped to a high standard. It's a short walk to Dylan's a good local restaurant, though be aware, it's an uphill return. A couple of minor repairs needed but and double rather than Queen sized beds but overall, one of the best houses we have rented in the UK.

Superb accommodation, great position overlooking the beach with fantastic pation furniture.

All the facilities were of very high quality.

Fabulous holiday home!

The view is amazing, so much to look at, didn’t want to leave the house! Pure luxury from the bedding to all the appliances! Our party ranged from 10-74 and there was something for everyone to enjoy. We especially enjoyed using the fire pit whilst taking in the view of the Castle!

Just back from a weeks stay at Hafod Y Mor!

Wow what can I say. The property, absolutely beautiful and the views are stunning. Every window you look out there is a beautiful view to admire. Totally felt relaxed from the moment we walked in. The facilities at the property are brilliant and it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. If you’re thinking of booking then don’t hesitate! The perfect break for couples or families! We will be back 100%. Thank you.

Amazing spot loved the views, a very calming stay, accommodation was spotless the whole experience was perfect.

Amazing place, didnt want to leave!

We had a fantastic week away at the property with family.

The views from the house are amazing. All the facilities were excellent. As stated on a previous review there was an issue with the dish washer but this was resolved very early on in our stay and repaired. We found that the kitchen contained everything that you could possible need. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable and the whole layout of the house is excellent. The football table proved very popular. The dining table comfortably seats 10 people which is ideal for the size of the house. We would love to come back and stay again.

Well, what a stunning view and excellent location.

I stayed here in October with my family and close friends and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The weather was a bit hit and miss but we didn't mind as we enjoyed the house and the wonderful views. Beautiful property with excellent facilities, comfortable, clean and a view from every window !. We will definitely book to stay here again. My only gripe , and it is a very small one , would be the lack of storage in the bedrooms. It would have been nice to have had set of draws and a bedside table instead of a tiny shelf. I would highly recommend this property , suitable for anytime of the year!

This amazing property is of high spec with the most fantastic views, location is a massive bonus.

It sits right at the top of Criccieth, so a fair hill to climb, but you don't get views like that from sitting in a valley! We would have loved to have had a hot tub, but that is the ONLY negative point we can make. Of course upon booking the property we knew there wasnt one, but due to the position of Hafod Y Mor I can only imagine how amazing it would be to sit in a hot tub and watch that view. Fantastic place, thank you and I think all of us want to return in the future.

Our expectations were met by the fantastic view from the property but our stay was not very comfortable.

We reported a problem with the dishwasher on first use but it took a long time to get some action. We found a large piece of glass and a clogged filter in the dishwasher left by previous users presumably causing the problem. Not a lot of fun to wash by hand all week. The glasses and crockery were mismatched and there was no chopping board or bin for food rubbish. The bathrooms are very small and the dining table too big and bean bags in the bedrooms very odd! The coffee pot still had old coffee grounds from the previous occupier.I also think the bedding needs to be renewed. The contact details for the housekeeper had been hidden in a drawer under toys for some reason!

Modern "upside down" house with everything you could want & fine attention to small details.

Spectacular views over the bay & Criccieth.

Our holiday at Hafod Y Mor, Criccieth was 5*+!

The best holiday house we have stayed in. Absolutely the best views! The location, a short walk to the beach was perfect. The house was stunning with a great kitchen and living area with views to die for. Cannot give the owners enough praise for creating this beautiful holiday house! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Fabulous location and views.

Criccieth is a hidden jewel. We will definitely be back again.

The accommodation was excellent, of a very high standard, in a fabulous location and exceptionally clean and well-equipped.

However, the staircases (inside and out) are not easily traversable for the mildly infirm/inebriated, in particular, the fabulous banister on the inside stairway is not 'graspable'. The recycling and rubbish collection instructions were incomprehensible (to us!) and no spare bags were provided - we ended up taking our kitchen waste home in bags we purchased.

Hafod Y Mor is an exceptional property, a really luxurious home from home.

The views from the property are pretty spectacular no matter what the weather. Would highly recommend this property.

Fabulous cottage, location.

Views.... Just wow! Worth the price tag for the view alone!!

Superbly appointed house all fixtures and fittings are of the highest standard.

The kitchen and utensils are of the highest quality. The best equipped house we have rented with magnificent views we would certainly return.

A brilliant cottage- well equipped, perfect location, amazing view.
