The Towers - Llyn

The flat was very clean and well equipped.

View was amazing. Parking was very easy and the area was very peaceful.

we had a very comfortable stay Lovely position with a fabulous sea view.

the accommodation is convenient to the town center, beaches, castle. Walks to suit all levels locally accessible. the apartment had everything necessary to make for a comfortable stay.

Our stay was during a very hot spell of weather.

Our only complaint was that two of the windows in the living room didn't open. If we had been able to open them we would have been able to get more of a breeze blowing through to cool things down. Everything else was comfortable and as described in the listing. It was an excellent location for going to the beach for a dip in the sea to cool down!

Although the exterior was in need of new paintwork the overall stay at the apartment was wonderful.

Beautiful views out of windows of the sea. The interior was spotless. We had a wonderful holiday

love being right on sea front, and second floor flat so great views and sunsets/rises - coastal path and hill walks - flat very clean but let down by entrance carpets condition which I think owner is going to sort.

Had a problem with cooker but caretaker sorted that very quickly. Definitely recommend.

Very spacious and comfortable.

The views were fantastic. Would stay again.

Very comfortable and very clean.

Tea coffee milk and Welsh cakes awaiting on arrival. All very welcoming Stayed here a couple of times before Covid and it’s just as good.

The apartment was lovely and bright with amazing views from both the bedroom and the living room.

It was well equipped with everything we needed for a short break. The improvement I would make is a bigger more comfortable sofa to snuggle up on and enjoy the views.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Towers -Llyn lovely appartment .

The first impression of the place at the front door ( on the road ) is awful ,it really needs some sprucing up ,and the step isnt very clever either ,and the carpet on the stairs is very stained . People up above us were very noisy .

The lock stuck when we arrived, this was known to be faulty as Kay told us we needed to pull, push and wiggle the key to open it.

The dishwasher didn't work on first attempt and there was a part dissolved tablet in it, so I suspect that this was also known about before our arrival. I've contacted yourselves to help, but to no avail. I would like some monetary compensation, failing that, a suitable apology. As it stands we wouldn't recommend Llyn at The Towers or Sykes Cottages to anyone. We booked the flat because it had a dishwasher, preferably a working one. I would welcome you publishing this review. Hopefully, it will stop others being ripped off?

The apartment was lovely, well furnished, modern and the views were amazing.

It was a great location. Being so close to the sea was dramatic when there was high winds. It was nice just sitting watching and listening to it out of the windows. There was some noise from the apartment above, sounded like drawers opening and something being dragged, at random times but it was generally ok. The thing that would make us think twice about booking again was the extractor fan continually banging when it was windy. It was noisy and annoying. Fix that and we' definitely be back again!

The 4pm entry is a bit late and 10am exit is early.

These could do with being 3pm & 11am. The toilet seat didn’t fit. The welcome items were a nice touch. Well equipped apartment. Tv remote batteries might need changing. Overall a lovely stay in a lovely location

Fabulous views, great location lovely clean apartment everything you need for a few days away We had some extremely noisy neighbours above us which did spoil our stay .

Maybe not a good idea to have children on the top floor for the comfort of other guests Our last morning we had an early morning wakeup at 6am whuch sounded like somebody jumping banging and arguing which did spoil our stay . I left a note for the owner with my phone number hoping fir some contact but we no contact has been made yet

A magical place to retreat to.

Absolutely mesmerising views and the sea as a playground. The property has everything you could possibly need and is spotless and so comfortable.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay; the apartment was clean and charming.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the door and saw the view—it felt like I was on a ship in the middle of the sea. Thank you!

Very pleasant stay, tidy, good condition of furniture, pleasant neighbourhood, well equipped for a short stay.

A showerhead replacement would be good, as it was fairly crusted with limescale. Mattress in bed was not too comfortable and it dipped away from the middle rod of the bed (which was noticeable when lying down).

Enjoyed our stay at The Towers very much.

Clean and comfortable with ample room for two; location and view was perfect. Thanks so much

This lovely apartment has panoramic views of the sea and surrounding hills even when seated and in bed !

For sea lovers it would be amazing even in stormy conditions to watch the sea constantly changing. The coastal path runs to the right and left and your car can be parked for free on the sea front. I had an amazing week.

A lovely appartment - so comfortable and clean.

It is also in an excellent location. I also appreciate being able to park near to the appartment.

Great location.

Apartment was clean and had everything we needed. It was a little lacking in comfort and it was a little soulless.

A wonderful holiday flat with amazing views.

Our second time here, and not our last.

Unfortunately we came home early as the upstairs flat was so noisy and the shower did not drain properly Very disappointed

I contacted you twice about the noisy occupants above us to which you ignored 2 emails.

We departed 2 days earlier as we couldn't tolerate it no longer. We could not find a decent cafe or restaurant

Amazing view and wonderful place just need to sort out shower drain then perfect

The towers lynn has fabulous views.

we were disappointed with only one bath towel each and one toilet roll for two weeks. Also, no bed sheets changed in the second week. No hoover only a broken one in laundry room. Good shower, but needs attention. Lovely walks from the door and close to the shops. Alan

Only fault is bed - really uncomfortable.

Other than this, flat is beautiful and very clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were constantly entertained by the changing character of the sea and would certainly have no hesitation in recommending or returning.

We found the instructions for certain things a little lacking and actually penned in some additions! Being a little unobservant we didn't notice the switch for the towel rail heater in addition to the one for the water heater, but the caretaker was diligent in getting us sorted. Instructions for the location of the outside bins could also have been more helpful and consistency in what is the left or right of the house - going in or coming out? At first we could not get the key to open the apartment itself but with a fraction withdrawal it worked and this technique worked fine thereafter. It would have been very helpful to have a rail on which to hang the hand and tea towels in the kitchen area - on the vertical surface alongside the bin would have been ideal.

Such a comfortable, clean well situated property.

The views are amazing. A lovely quiet part of the town but close enough to amenities. Will definitely be returning. We have found our Criccieth bolt hole.

Lovely location.

..lovely views, in fact, staggering views! Nicely laid out with plenty of room. Good utensils and washing facilities though we are out every night anyway and only prepared breakfast. I do think putting salt and pepper there would help. I would have given this place 5 stars but it needs a better bed. It just wasn't comfortable which matters. If the bed was changed...we'd certainly stay there again.

Lovely apartment, spotlessly clean and wonderful views.

Just let down a little by some penny-pinching: it was very cold when we first arrived because the heating was turned way down. Shower gel, and more glassware and mugs would be handy.

This was a great property on the coast - the views were just amazing!

The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’d love to return in the summer!

On arrival we could not see a switch for the light in the entrance lobby of the apartment.

We had trouble operating the dishwasher on economy programme despite referring to the leaflet provided. Coffee and tea was provided and mince pies on arrival. No salt and pepper though! The bed was big and fairly comfortable. However we kept walking into the corners of the wooden frame. Ouch! The location was wonderful.

Perfect.

A stunning view of the sea and mountains. Sitting in the lounge at high tide was like being at sea! Great position for the town with its shops and eating places and also for lovely walks. With bigger supermarkets nearby in Porthmadog. Plenty of free parking outside the apartment. The small road in front is very quiet. Lots of places around to visit including some stunning beaches on the Llyn Peninsula. The apartment was ideal for two and well set out to enjoy the views. It is comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Thank you for a really lovely stay. Highly recommended.

This has been our first visit to The Towers, Llyn and we will definitely be making plans go to back.

The flat was comfortable, clean and the shower was brilliant, it met all our expectations. We loved every minute of our holiday and even when we stayed in we could sit and watch and listen the sea. We saw 3 seals popping there heads up in the bay from our window, so I would recommend you take your binoculars if you are planning a visit. I did read on a couple of other feedbacks that the people in the flat above had been very noisy, but we never heard a sound from those living above, or below us. Its a great place to holiday and I cant wait to go back. Many thanks for the welcome gift milk and Welsh cakes, it was much appreciated.

A very enjoyable stay.

The flat was very clean and comfortable. The sea views were wonderful. Criccieth is a lovely seaside town with good beaches, great fish and chips and an ice cream parlour. It is very centrally placed for visiting many of the attractions in Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsular. We wouldn't hesitate to book this again.

A lovely place to spend our holiday.

Waking to the sound of the sea was just glorious. The flat was so comfortable and the facilities were first class. Thank you for the welcome pint of milk by the way. This was one of the best places for a holiday that we have been to. We will be recommending Llyn at The Tower without doubt. Thank you!

Wonderful property in a wonderful location.

Very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The views are stunning and the property was easy to find and gain access to. Would definitely love to stay again in the future

The apartment is really lovely with views that are breathtaking.

Very spacious, bright and airy and perfectly adequate for 2 people. The only thing that spoilt our stay was the noise from the apartment directly above. Started very early in the morning, can’t believe how much noise was made. We would recommend this accommodation but unsure whether we would stay again purely due to this noise.

Everything was lovely , even the small supplies were an excellent touch .

Very comfortable, clean, spectacular view from both kitchen/diner and bedroom.

Walks along beach from straight outside the door. Lovely.

Lovely comfortable apartment with amazing views over the bay, woke up and went to sleep to the sounds of the sea.

Very peaceful and quiet at night. We had glorious weather but the large opening windows and blinds kept it comfortably cool. The only criticism would be that there wasn’t sufficient crockery and cutlery to make using the dishwasher a sensible option, so we washed up by hand and the kettle broke mid week and despite reporting it we didn’t get a replacement. However we will definitely be booking again as we were not put off by minor inconveniences.

We had a wonderful stay in this clean and well presented apartment.

The view from the large bay windows is stunning and we were blessed with excellent weather. All the amenities of the seaside town are easily accessible and there is much to explore in the area. The provision of some fresh milk in the fridge and the welsh cakes were much appreciated. Of course the property is two floors up and we'd forgotten to factor in lugging our bags but that was our only difficulty. Of course as an apartment there is inevitably some noise from adjacent flats. One of the reviews found this to be annoying but fortunately during our stay this did not present any problems and our neighbours were very considerate.

Had a wonderful stay at the apartment everything you need and lovely and clean will return at some point, bed was a bit firm for us so effected our sleep but apart from that had a very enjoyable holiday at the towers

The property location was excellent and we had everything we needed.

Our stay was unfortunately spoilt by constant noise from the apartment above. The property above sleeps four and very early every morning we would be woken by heavy footed people walking in the kitchen area of the above apartment which was directly over our bedroom. This sounded like baby elephants tramping up and down, they would also open and close kitchen drawers constantly which sounded like they were in the same room as ourselves. This would happen any time between 4am and 5am. It would then continue and regular intervals all day. On several occasions it would sound like they were dragging and dropping items of furniture around the room. It became very stressful at times and even on days when it was raining it was impossible to try and read a book and sit quietly and enjoy the view. We never actually saw anyone coming in or out of the property above us or we may have been able to let them know what a disturbance they were causing. We have used your company on lots of occasions however we will not be returning to stay in Llyn The Towers again because of our experience. Very disappointed ☹️

An absolutely fantastic apartment for a getaway.

Fantastic location, with views of nothing but the sea and the horizon. Quiet and peaceful, lovely going to sleep and waking up to the sounds of the sea. Apartment really comfortable, with everything you need, clean and tastefully presented. Definition the pace to stay if you visit criccieth.

Nice spot in a very attractive village, great views clean comfy and modern.

Plus excellent weather and good walks. Soap and a dustpan etc might have been handy but not really an issue

Nice apartment.

Quiet location. Great views!

A wonderful apartment in a positively stunning position.

As stated a short walk to bars and food. The Accomodation was clean warm and very comfortable. Really quiet and bedroom was nice and dark. If you like the noise of waves rolling on to the shore this is the place to be. Would definitely recommend this property.

Had a superb stay, thankyou.

never cracked the puzzle of the location of the entry hall light switch!

Perfect accommodation in perfect location.

Could just do with a clothes airer for drying the beach towels.

Lovely apartment with great view of the sea.

Perfect promenade position , quiet foreshore to enjoy the sea and sandy pebbled beach .

Spotless presentation of the accommodation , and commanding endless views across the bay as far as Abersoch. Easy parking , loads of essential holiday amenities , quiet enough for sunrise yoga on the beach ,a relaxing jog/walk along the coastal path and my personal favourite the Par 3 mini golf at the bowls club .

Had a lovely 3 night stay at the towers, from the amazing coastal views including the castle!

To the gorgeous apartment, there is everything you could need, it’s spacious beautifully furnished, a very comfortable king size bed , all the kitchen facilities including dishwasher a large fridge freezer you need. The apartment is spotlessly clean in a quiet spot with free on street parking a great base for exploring the area I can’t wait to return!! .

This is the second time I have stayed in Llyn.

It is a sensational place to stay. The view is awesome, the apartment is simply and beautifully furnished, it is deeply peaceful, and in an ideal location for exploring the LLeyn Peninsula, Snowdonia, the north Wales coast and the coast south to Barmouth. I have booked again for 2023. So good to have milk in the fridge and Welsh teacakes waiting for our arrival. Next time I need to take a tea cosy!

We were very impressed with the the little touches such as milk in the fridge, tea bags and coffee etc.

The facilities were well thought out and the flat was very comfortable. We plan to book again next year.

An absolutely wonderful facility all that one would wish for.

We have rented three times in nine months and cannot fault it.We look forward to returning soon.

An amazing location.

Right on the beach. Excellent location for touring the Llyn Peninsula Many reviews tales about a slow draining shower . This wasn’t the case. The apartment was

We enjoyed the property, it was very comfortable and well located in the town.

There were however two issues. Firstly, we didn't realise until the day after we arrived that the apartment door lock was broken and although rotated as normal didn't actually lock the door. This was rectified a day later but we had already unknowingly left our valuables unprotected. The second observation was that it was not possible to open any of the three bedroom windows. It was not clear whether the handles were jammed or the locks broken. As we prefer a cool bedroom and ideally the sound of the sea when its near, that didn't happen.

A lovely flat in a fantastic location.

Bright and clean with an amazing view. As others have said, the shower drains very slowly, but it wasn’t a major problem. We’d love to return.

I stayed on the second floor.

The apartment was spotlessly clean which is always a good start. Nice touches with local cakes and tea/coffee provided along with fresh milk. Excellent shower and bedroom. The views are spectacular. Very quiet area, just the sound of the waves! Lots of walks in the immediate area without taking the car. I would highly recommend. Great value for money in my view.

Cannot fault this property and its presentation.

Absolutely perfect for our needs.in every way. Because of the time of year choice of restaurants in the area was very limited, which is a pity. Equipment available again excellent but lacked a butter dish and salt and pepper dispencers ( that is to be knit picking! ). Will have no hesitation to re-book or recommend the property to others. - just about perfect.

From start to finish the whole holiday booking process was hassle free with lots of email/text message information updates received regarding the booking, arrival and departure instructions.

The accommodation we stayed at was excellent and we would certainly consider going back again. The location of apartment was perfect with a lovely sea view which was beautiful. Apartment was lovely and clean with everything needed for our holiday. There was even some tea, coffee, sugar, milk and welsh cakes left for us for when we arrived which was a lovely touch. Thank you so much for a hassle free and lovely relaxing holiday.

The apartment was excellent, fantastic views, the shower was good it didn’t drain very well , lovely and clean we had a lovely time we definitely recommend the property x

Sadly we had to shorten our holiday due to a bereavement in the family but we absolutely loved the accommodation and setting, the view was fantastic and the apartment very clean and tidy, our only slight niggle would be the entrance door area which is a bit shabby but otherwise a superb property.

The flat itself was clean, bright and relatively spacious.

Actually better than it looked in the photos. All the Covid related instructions were clear and concise. We did like the fact that in one of the kitchen drawers were all the user manuals for things like the cooker, dishwasher etc. In addition to the expected, for a self catering flat, we thought it was a nice touch that there were coffee, tea bags, sugar, Welsh cakes supplied and a pint of milk in the fridge. Good location for surrounding area, all in all a very pleasant stay.

I would of been happier with this apartment if we had paid less but at the price we paid we felt it lacked any home comforts is a comfy bed, couch, cooking utensil etc

We loved the location & view & could even hear the sea.

The Towers is well placed for walks to the seafront, coastal walk & local shops. Many lovely places are an easy drive away. The accommodation was very attractive and comfortable - always a joy to come back to between excursions. We have visited Criccieth a few times & always enjoy the town. Surrounding scenery is stunning. We would definitely like to return to the Towers.

Ideal location 30min travel to llyn peninsula.

Sitting in the apartment a feeling of being on cruise with the view of sea. Would book again in the future

The apartment was great, perfect location and really easy to check in and out.

Sea view was breathtaking. More stuff provided than the listing describes - towels, tea towels - fairy liquid I personally thought the mattress was a little hard but that’s my only negative

Lovely apartment in a great position overlooking the marine terrace and sea.

Very clean and well-equipped for two people with everything you could want for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. We really enjoyed our short break here. It is worth mentioning for those who are less able that it is on the 2nd floor so a few flights of stairs to encounter - but good to work off those fish and chips!

The Apartment was very keen and location fantastic, with stunning views.

The one criticism us that we had an issue with the main door lock and it took us 20min to get in when we arrived due to the key turning in the lock. A resident in the building tried to help be having a go but to no avail then it finally unlocked. It happened again later that day so we text the caretaker mobile about the issue but recieved no response. The next day we decide to leave the apartment unlocked just incase we couldn't get in on our return and we felt very uncomfortable about this and it did spoil our day slightly as we where concerned of someone getting in the apartment. We took all expensive belongings with us which was a bit of a pain. If it wasn't for the lock issue, we would have had the most amazing time.

Beautiful flat overlooking fantastic views.

Didn't expect the dishwasher or washing machine - so they were a bonus.

The location of this apartment is stunning.

Right on the sea front with panoramic views of the bay from both the hexagonal sitting room and the bedroom. The kitchen and bathroom are well equipped which gives a very modern feel to this period building. The bedroom is spacious and the bed comfortable and clean. Towels and tea-towels are provided which isn't mentioned the Sykes literature, nor is the iron, ironing board and hair dryer. Recycling is encouraged but only paper, cardboard, food waste and plastic, no mention of whether glass and tin cans can be included which would be helpful. We experienced one of the worst storms (Francis) in decades during our stay but even that wouldn't deter us from returning for another week. Criccieth is a nice friendly little town with a wide selection of eating places that take the Corona Virus precautions seriously.

A gorgeous modern, well equipped apartment with amazing, ever changing views out to sea.

Lovely to wake up to the sound of gentle waves on the beach and great to watch enormous waves crashing onto the beach on stormy days. I loved this apartment, in fact I would love to live there!

Lyn is a lovely apartment with amazing views of the sea.

We had very mixed weather but enjoyed watching the sea in all it's forms throughout the week. The apartment is very clean and equipped adequately for a short holiday. Both the bedroom and living area are really lovely and comfortable and light. Sadly the laundry room was closed during our stay and we had hoped to use that.. Criccieth and the surrounding area are lovely, there is enough to do despite the restrictions of the Covid period, we did some amazing coastal walks. I would definitely return to this are and to Lyn apartment.

We did enjoy the holiday, and the flat has lovely views - but it isn't "gentle waves lapping the shore" as it is a shingle beach and on high tides and windy days (and nights!

) it really is rather noisy - I know the sea conditions and sounds are normal, but as a light sleeper I might have thought twice about renting this property if I'd known it would keep me awake or wake me up during most nights. Combined with the noise from people walking around the flat above (including a small child running back and forth endlessly) and people banging doors and drawers at 6am, the peaceful quiet break we wanted wasn't as we hoped. The shower tray does not drain very well or quickly, meaning you stand in water almost to your ankles, and it was a worry that it might overflow so we only took short showers. There are small patches of damp on the front facing walls in both living area and bedroom, mostly between the window frames but also to the left of the bay window in the bedroom, with paint bubbling and in the bedroom if you brushed past, flakes of paint would fall off. This did not impact our stay, but I think the owners/maintenance people should be informed as if left, these will get worse over winter and have obviously been treated before and painted over. Despite all the above nit-picking, we did have a nice break and would return to the area, but I doubt we would book to return to this property despite the lovely views and comfortable bed.

Lovely location well equipped clean and comfortable

Flat#2(Llyn) at The Towers is a great base for walking and exploring this beautiful part of North Wales.

The flat has a great vista full of light, looking out over the sea and sky, totally brilliant views. It is also very well-equipped with everything you need for a short stay, plus information on local attractions. Criccieth itself is the ideal spot to explore the coastal area, particularly if you rely on public transport which in this instance was regular and reliable. Thoroughly recommended!

Great location and lovely place to stay.

We really enjoyed t. Thank you.

Peace, relaxation and fantastic sea views in a clean, spacious apartment.

Apartment was great - fantastic views and well equipped.

We will be back.
