  • "This is our 2nd visit to the cottage."

    The location is perfect for dog walking and the beaches nearby are excellent for dogs also and clean. We will definitely be back.

  • "A lovely week had by all wellcome pack was a thoughtful touch and the little things like pet dishes and towels were a lovely to see."

    Although we know the area well we still found and enjoyed new things along with some old favourites. Walks along the river were much enjoyed. The Coffee hut along the front at Criccieth and not forgetting the Goat Inn all new discoveries. House is lovely to stay in and we cant wait to return next year. we will recommend to family and friends (but make sure we book first :) ) M J R B and Teddy

  • "Excellent cottage in a friendly village!"

    My second visit this year. The owner has thought of everything in this cottage, making it a 'home from home' experience. Lovely welcome pack, including treats for the dogs. Lots to do and see in this area with stunning scenery. I have already booked another visit for next May.

    Thank you so much.

  • "Cottage was lovely, very well equipped for self catering."

    I liked the toothbrush holder and soap and shampoo holders in the shower, little things like that usually get missed in most holiday accommodation. Nice welcome pack, much appreciated. Comfy beds and sofas. The only thing that spoiled the holiday was the horrendous wet weather we had all week which couldn't be helped.

  • "A wonderful base to explore the Llyn peninsula, kitchen well equipped, comfortable beds & garden was adequate for our 2 dogs."

    Outside cobbles needs attention & garden bench needs replacing but otherwise a lovely place to spend the week.

  • "The cottage was clean and tidy, it has everything you need for your stay."

    A great location to explore Llyn Peninsula.  Location on main street of village, but quite enough as not a throughfare route as village bypassed. My only frustration was asking a question the day before arrival. I called the number provided and was directed to getting a text messge back. I have booked through Sykes and found them to be ok. On this occasion not so. I will leave you to judge for yourself below the text message comms below. Menia Holiday Cottages, seem to be part of Sykes but for Wales only. My message to Menia Can you confirm Ivy House has a fridge/ freezer as per pictures and not just a icebox in a fridge. From Menia the follwing day. Hi. You are speaking with Andrew. Just so that I can pass data protection can I take your full name and booking reference please? My message to Menia As you took nearly a day to reply not great service. I was already travelling to cottage. I had with me the relevant info, address and combination for keysafe. Hiding behind Data protection, oh my god. I only wanted to know fridge info which the photo is open for the world to see. Thank you for lack of info. Read again on feedback about the property. Auto response from Menia Hi, thanks for contacting us today about your holiday! We have received your message and will get back to you as soon as we can. Finally no follow up from Menia Holiday Cottages

  • "Excellent small cottage virtually next door to Lloyd George museum."

    Very clean and well equipped. Appreciated the welcome pack of Welsh butter, Welsh cakes, marmalade and butter. Small garden was not an issue for my two collies as footpath through woods adjacent to the river was very close. Likewise footpath to coast and Criccieth. Will be booking another visit for next year.

    I'm very glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you next year. Property Owner

    !! It would have been nice to have a teapot and less cobwebs, but that didn't detract from our enjoyment of the holiday.

  • "No cleaning products,recycling bin inside but none out dog poo in garden what there was of it"

    Thank you for your review, I have now stocked with cleaning products, and although I had checked the garden for dog poo I must have missed some, sorry for that. The outside bin is for waste & mixed recycling, I use a company called Gaskells who do the separation for me, saves having 4 bins outside. As for the size of the garden there's not a lot I can do about that, but I'm planning to improve it with decking or a terrace to make it more usable. If you come back there will be improvements.

The property

Criccieth 1.6 miles.

Ty Eiddew (Ivy House), is a delightful, stone-built cottage tucked away in the village of Llanystumdwy, close to the amenities of Criccieth, Gwynedd.

Furnished to an excellent standard whilst being just a short drive from the heart of the Eryri National Park, Ty Eiddew (Ivy House), is a great choice for families and couples looking to escape for a little while.

Step into the lounge, where you can curl up on the sofa and relax by the open fire, as you get lost in a good book or enjoy a cold glass of wine.

Move into the kitchen, amply-equipped with all the essentials for a week away, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and even a washing machine.

Head upstairs and make yourself at home in the bedrooms, both featuring double beds, serviced by a sleek shower room.

Completing the property is a small rear garden where the dogs can have a sniff around.

From the front door there are a number of signposted walks, including a beautiful riverside walk along the Afon Dwyfor, whilst you can stop off for a refreshing pint at the Tafarn Y Plu, which is just opposite the property.

Head to nearby Criccieth and explore the 13th century Criccieth Castle where you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding town and coastline from the castle’s vantage point, or head to the beach and relax upon the sands, build sandcastles and take a dip in the sea.

Further afield, uncover Porthmadog, home to the Maritime Museum, Borth y Gest Beach, the Black Rock Llamas, offering treks and petting experiences, whilst the Snowdonia National Park offers plenty for those outdoor enthusiasts.
