The Beach House Criccieth

• "Very well equipped and we liked the absence of dos and don’ts."

  My 20 month old granddaughter loved the garden and slides in particular. The garage too offered a great wet weather play area for all. The house was particularly great for my disabled sister who has stayed with you before. If possible a little more storage for clothes in the upstairs bedrooms would have been useful. Overall we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Beach House.

• "The Beach House is in the perfect location for the beech, just 2 minutes away, and on a quiet road with little noise."

  Plenty of outdoor seating and a lovely large table (though no umbrella for shade, as the garden is south facing and we had fabulous weather) The living-room area was ideal for all our party to be together, with plenty of seating and playing space. With two small children access to the grassed garden was a little awkward, past the hot tub was overgrown and down the steps also had thorny vines on the bottom step and a missing brick. The curtains in the bedroom downstairs need sorting, as multiple hooks either missing or not attached (one of the curtains hardly attached at all). But we all (from 9 months to 88 years) enjoyed our stay at The Beach House immensely and Criccieth is lovely.

• "This is an amazing holiday home in great location with view over the sea."

  It's so good I nearly didn't leave a review, so I can keep it to myself. The outside requires more work, but it's totally fine with a jacuzzi to boot - the owner's state it's a work in progress. The faultless interior and amazingly well stocked equipment totally makes up for that. We will be coming back!

• "Stunning home, we thoroughly managed to unwind with stunning views of Criccieth coastline, enjoyed spotting the trains which came along each so often, and loved seeing bunnies hopping about in the garden in the morning and early evening."

  The hot tub was thoroughly used by us all, and a welcome sight after walking in this beautiful area. On an admin point, even though we booked at very short notice, all documents and cottage information came to us very quickly. Couldn't have asked for better.

• "We have had a fabulous weekend."

  The house has everything you could possibly need. It was perfect for our young grandson, who enjoyed playing with all the toys provided. The bedrooms were beautiful with good quality bedding. The house is big enough that we weren’t on top of each other at all and evenings near the log burner were so cosy. I would love to return to Beach House and Criccieth. I have also been really impressed with the helpful staff at Sykes Cottages. Thank you to everyone for making our stay so perfect.

• "Property was fantastic it was as was advertised."

  Very clean and everything you need for a comfortable stay.Lovely town within 10 minutes walk with a pub, restaurants, small supermarket, bakery and butchers. Trains (2 hourly)and Buses available every half hour. A restaurant also on the doorstep serving great food although abit pricey (Dylans). Fantasic beach (amazing colourful stones) and lots of walks locally. It is also driving distance of many tourist attractions. Unfortunately the Hot tub was out of use the whole of our stay which was disappointing.We was made aware of the issue and the postal strikes delayed the parts arriving so not the owners fault.

  Thanks for your feedback. Dylan’s is our family favourite as it is stunning and just a stones throw away. After our supplier let us down by sending the wrong part, we had hoped to get the replacement part delivered in time for you to get some use of the tub. Alas the postal strikes meant it was only delivered and fitted on the day you departed but hopefully you appreciated the gesture we made to make up for the disappointment. Property Owner

• "We had a fantastic time at The Beach House Criccieth."

  The house in a lovely quiet cul-de-sac, close the beach. It offers fantastic views. We feel it is the perfect house for a family get together. The house is comfortable and has everything needed for a week away. The garage contains a playroom which my 3 year old Nephew absolutely loved. The hot tub is a lovely addition ad provided some relaxing times. The Master Bedroom is so luxurious, with a huge bed and beautiful en-suite and cracking views of the sea. My parents use this room and it is important to us that they are comfortable and warm - which this room provides in spades. We love this house and will hopefully return again next year for our 3rd annual family getaway at The Wonderful Beach House. Thank you.

  Spacious, airy and a view that is just perfect. We saw dolphins most days out of the bedroom window!! Excellent village easy to walk to with the beach, Dylans (Give it a try-its to die for - book in advance tho!), footgolf/kayak/paddle boarding on your doorstep. Few little pubs, butchers, takeaway, cafes etc in walking distance. Day 2 call from the owner which was lovely and always helpful when asked any questions. Perfect base for exploring North Wales and surrounding areas. Would I recommend ? Most definately! Thanks Claire and David - we had a great time.

  The hot tub and private garden are pleasant and it is a quiet location despite being only a few minutes walk from the beach, access to the coastal footpath and the centre of Criccieth. Three generations of our family have had a great holiday here and we have booked to return again.

• "The Beach House must be one of the best properties in the area."

  An abundance of space, from the ability to park numerous cars, to the lovely gardens and terrace all flowing from the huge proportions of the house itself. The garden is an absolute sun trap from morning to evening and with hot tub and children's area really does cater for everyone. The enormous master bedroom suite was the biggest bedroom we have ever slept in and having only just got home, we are already looking forward to going again later this year. We couldn't recommend the house and its helpful owners enough, They really provide everything that one could possibly want for a relaxing family holiday.

• "The beach house was not very clean."

  My husband had to go and bought oven cleaner to clean the cooker before we could us it. Some of the lights didn’t work. Could not use the bbq it was dirty and rusty. On our second week on the Wednesday night 26th August. My husband put food in the oven. All the electricity went off my husband turned them back on and they just kept going off. I tried to phone the owner 3 time could not get in touch with him. I so my husband rang him and he answered. We lost £50.00 in food that was in the oven because we had no electricity. So all the food went in the bin and we had to order a takeout which cost us more money. The sent out a electric man the next day. So that put a damper on the rest of the holiday. We have had holiday home for the past 20 years and never had a bad experience like that before.

  Thanks for leaving your feedback. We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations on this occasion as the Beach House is truly our second home and we want all of our guests to have a great experience. We have spoken to our head cleaner who has apologised for things that were missed and has reiterated the agreed regime to her team of staff. However, we do understand that she has been doing her best to recruit, train, mobilise and oversee a new seasonal workforce at extremely shorter notice given the extended lockdown in Wales. The power outage was caused by the unseasonably wet and windy weather that blighted much of your two weeks at the Beach House. However, we were pleased that we were able to restore power to main house within one hour of you reporting the issue, and to the garage the next day. We are aware of other complaints that you have made to Sykes and are continuing to work with them and yourselves to reach an amicable outcome. Property Owner

  Views out over the bay were amazing! Stargazing from the hot tub was an unforgettable experience. Perfect base for exploring coast and Snowdonia national park.

  Waking up in the plush master bedroom, walking out into the garden, looking out over the sea and listening to the birds was a dream; only rivaled by sitting in the hot tub in an evening watching the stars and having a drink. We adored our stay at the Beach House and are aching to go back already.

  The line’s ranger ticket is great value, or small group ticket. The Welsh Highland Railway or Ffestiniog make great all weather days. Plenty to see locally to the house and what a great house it was also! We had seven adults, the king size ground floor en-suite was great for our parents. I especially chose this house for its proximity and largely flat access to the promenade and beach. This made the wheelchair easy for dad. Then there’s the lovely view from the house! It’s a lovely quiet street so we enjoyed not being disturb-ing/ed. Great facilities in the house and garden- highly recommend this place .

The kitchen was so well equipped which helped with the so important family meals together. The living and dining room was lovely and really spacious.

  The garage was superbly equipped with toys for all ages! The sea view from the upstairs windows covering the estuary, sea, hills and castle was picture postcard material. The grandchildren were particularly enthusiastic about their bunk bed room with its nautical theme and unique lighting scheme. The house was beautifully decorated and very well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, full height fridge, and extra freezer in the garage. More than enough cutlery and dishes. The colourful and well maintained rear garden with its hot tub and lawn provided an excellent two level enclosed play or relaxation area Furnishings had been thoughtfully chosen and complemented with interesting lighting schemes. The single track railway line at the bottom of the garden was not a problem and never a noise nuisance. More than adequate parking for 3/4 cars. The main bedroom and with ensuite shower and bath provided a superb and large escape area for grandparents. Multiple televisions around the house were largely unused as there was too much to do! The house more than met its claim to be a ten person unit. We felt that this was a superb beautifully presented home where the owners had completed a total make-over and simply left it to us to enjoy.
