Ty Jem

Staying at Ty Jem was a fabulous 5 star experience.

It is so light and spacious and thoughtfully set out - the decor, the high quality equipment and facilities and lovely finishing touches. Great views from the balcony and top floor window and a lovely enclosed patio courtyard. Located close to shops, bakery, deli and places to eat and about a 10 minute walk to the main beach and promenade. We also enjoyed walking to Marine/West beach on the other side of the castle. Ty Jem is a great base for exploring the area and a perfect place to relax afterwards. We would definitely recommend it.

We had a great stay for 10 days in this fabulous house with beautiful views on the bay and the castle.

Tip: battery on remote control TV in lounge needs replacement.

Lovely property, in a great location,thankyou for the welcome pack.

There are nice shops, eateries and beach short walk away, locals very friendly. We had a lovely weeks holiday even though the weather was mixed. Enjoyed Walk to Black rock sands along the coast and enjoyed a visit to see the steam train at Porth Madoc. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ty Jem for a great holiday.

TyJem is a beautiful house - maintained and equipped to a very high standard.

The generous welcome provisions were much appreciated. A perfect base to explore North Wales. It is just a two minute walk to Criccieth high street, which offers an excellent choice of places to eat, and approximately 10 minutes walk to the beautiful sea front promenade. Would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.

Thank you for letting us stay the house was perfect for us in every way.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely book again. Criccieth was every bit as lovely as we thought it would be.

We thoroughly loved our stay at this stunning property.

The view from the bedroom on the top floor was perfect & we found the location perfect for our needs. A short walk into town, the train on the doorstep or lots of places a short drive away. We would love to return in the future.

Ty Jem is an absolutely beautiful property, it was a privilege to stay there.

Towels, bed linen, crockery and furniture all to a very high standard offering the level of comfort and luxury you would want from a holiday home. Positioned perfectly in Criccieth. We will definitely return.

Ty Jem is a beautiful home in great location, done to a high standard.

You could travel by train and not use a car, the train is so cheap, we loved after a long journey in car to go on train to Pwllheli and walk back. Cricceith is a great place and everyone very friendly also you can travel and explore very easy different areas of North Wales. Great selection of places to eat, takeaway’s, bakery and delicatessen. We will definitely love to book again and go back because it’s one of the best self catering accommodation we have stayed in. Many thanks Terry and Nikki to all the details you put in to making it a perfect holiday. Everything is on their app

The property was very comfortable and we didn’t want for anything.

The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything you needed, even down to helpful appliance guides etc. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The welcome gifts were very thoughtful as well as being practical. We could not fault the property in any way. The location is ideal with local shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs all within walking distance. Also, the beach, castle and the train station which offers lots of places to visit such as Barmouth, Harlech Castle and even further afield like Machynlleth, all at reasonable fares (off peak). All communications prior to arrival were excellent and the electronic guide covered all points and was so informative. Obviously a lot of thought has gone into this. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have made some special memories. Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ty Jem.

The house was immaculately clean and there was everything we needed for a great week away over Christmas. The beds were so comfortable and quality of bedding and towels were great! The table tennis was an added bonus. The location of the property was great too, 5 mins to the beach and 2 mins to the town. We didn't have time to go on the train, the station is on the doorstep but this wasn't an issue, as the noise is minimal. All in all a fabulous stay, Thankyou.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ty Jem.

And definitely re book in the future.

Ty Jen was beautifully furnished, combining comfort with style.

Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the living spaces to the well-equipped kitchen that had everything we needed .The location gave us easy access to some nice local restaurants such as Bwyty 51 and Dylan’s.

This is our 2nd stay at Ty Jem and it was as wonderful as the first.

The house is perfectly located for both the town and a short walk to the beach. The train station is only a few steps away and the coastal train is a fabulously cheap and easy way to explore the coastline, we used it several times. The house is well stocked, clean & modern. The beds are comfy and the towels are super fluffy. For our family we love that the beds could all be doubles. So a perfect place for families and couples alike. The table tennis table in the garage has been great for an ongoing competition running all week. The owner is great at keeping in touch and this is definitely a holiday home that we would return to again.

Ty Jem is a fantastic holiday home, beautifully furnished, extremely well equipped and in a great location.

Lots of walks around Criccieth from the house, easy access to the town, beach and castle. We loved the area, visiting Abersoch, Harlech, Porthmadog and many more places. We would definitely recommend Ty Jem as a superb place to stay for a holiday.

Had a lovely stay in this beautiful maintain holiday let.

A little disappointed with the out look thought it was nearer to the sea with a better sea view . Parking was excellent with own parking space.Lots of things to visit with not too many travel miles. My only down point it was over priced for where it is situated you are charging sea front view prices and it’s definitely not that . Thank you for a wonderful stay

We found everything that was required to have an enjoyable break

A beautiful house in an ideal location for great walks, and driving to surrounding sights.

Lots of places to eat and takeout around and a well stoked local nisa, also a petrol station to left. The house is such a home from home, everything thought of to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Very well equipped, comfortable sofas, beds and pillows, all quality furnishings and utensils. We had great weather and the house got very warm, so we made good use of the outdoor areas the back area stays pretty much shaded whi h is great for outdoor cool dining and the balcony gets the sun. The whole week, we never seen one train at all, so when it says a quiet train station it really is. 5 minutes and your on a breathtaking coast, we loved the prom walk. Thanks Nikki for being great hosts

A very well maintained property , well situated for all the amenities in criccieth.

The house was finished to a very high standard and well equipped . A very pleasant and comfortable week, we would definitely recommend it to friends.

Well appointed and maintained property.

Would thoroughly recommend

Excellent location and facilities.

Welcome pack was exceptional. Beautifully set up for a short stay. Ceilings are very low in places in the 4th floor master bedroom due to the sloping roof so mind your head! Very convenient for the train station.

This place was great, close to the beach, shops, bars & restaurants.

Would definitely recommend Dylans restaurant. House was comfy, great views, nice to chill with a drink on the balcony just watching going by. My husband loved the table tennis. What an amazing Welcome Pack, thank you so much

Lovely place, well maintained and laid out.

An outstanding property would highly recommend

Every amenity you could think of.

The house was perfect with plenty of space and comfortable beds & living area and a kitchen with everything you could possibly need. It was also perfect for our dog with a safe and secure garden. Many walking opportunities & access to many dog friendly beaches (from September). A very thoughtful much appreciated welcome pack too.

This was a great property in the center of Criccieth with great links to both wales and beaches.

The property was very well furnished, very clean and tidy and well looked after. There were great facilities and we enjoyed the use of the table tennis and all the home had to offer. A 10 minute walk to the beach and shops within a few minutes. No major negatives other than those shared direct with the owner to improve the description on the advert. Would recommend staying here!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ty Gem.

The house was everything we could wish for. Comfortable and clean, very well equipped. Good to have parking and the table tennis in the garage. The welcome pack was appreciated as was all the information provided about the house. Ty Gem is very well situated for the beach and the shops and Criccieth is a lovely place for a holiday we would definitely recommend Ty Gem.

Fantastic holiday home, very well equipped and comfortable.

An excellent base to explore Snowdonia and north wales, would definitely recommend.

We had a fabulous stay.

Parking a bonus. Shaded garden was lovely in the heat (we were there the heatwave week!) The digital guide received was innovative and really helpful. Loved it. Kitchen was perfectly stocked, a real home from home. Loved the Welsh words in the hallway. And the chair downstairs was a perfectly cool seat to sit on a hot day with a book. So many lovely features to this house. Proximity to station is a brilliant plus for this holiday let. My adult children loved the table tennis and had an ongoing tournament running all week. This house was a fabulous stay for our family. The owners have done a marvellous job.

It is a fabulous house, very well equipped and incredibly comfortable.

The beds were especially comfortable. Loved Criccieth, really pleasant quiet place, though if you are going in the school holidays and want eat out i would book in advance Really convenient location for the town for snowdonia and for Llyn peninsula.

We had a lovely week at Ty Jem and enjoyed exploring Criccieth and Snowdonia.

Here’s what we liked: The welcome pack with Welsh cakes, milk, tea, coffee and jam was a nice touch, thank you. Entrance hall, space for shoes, walking boots and coats was perfect. The games room was great fun and easily and safely housed our bikes too. The kitchen was brilliantly well stocked, has everything we needed (and more!) and everything was good quality and easy to operate. The lounge area was great, good size, we enjoyed relaxing on the sofas, the HD TV was excellent and the dining table was just right. We had breakfast and a few drinks on the balcony which was nice. The beds were really comfy, clean and warm, TV’s in the rooms went down well and storage was great. The showers were consistently powerful, really lovely after a day on the beach or hiking. Fantastically easy to get to the beach and all the Criccieth has to offer by way of shops, pubs, cafés etc. We found breakfast and lunch nicer and easier to eat out than dinner which was limited. And the not so good: This property is so close to the train station you can hear the platform announcements, the big, slow diesel trains and their whistles. The trains are every two hours each way so it’s not too intrusive but should be detailed on the listing - as should the big fences and barbed wire between the driveway to the property and the railway line which only spoils the view of you look down - the views looking straight ahead towards the sea or up towards the castle are amazing day and night. We wondered if perhaps the property had been vacant before we arrived as it had obviously been cleaned, but had become dusty again in parts with a few dead flies in windows - easily resolved with a damp cloth and the vacuum cleaner, but not what we expected to be doing on arrival. There was also a stubborn sticky patch on the kitchen worktop by the microwave which was cleaned with some elbow grease, but shouldn’t have been there. The en suite in the master bedroom at the top of the house felt a bit odd, the room is massive, but the sink is small, probably cloakroom size and the shower, although spacious and powerful, leaks onto the floor at either the top or the side. We personally don’t like striping beds and towels before departing, but did so as requested and recognise the covid context. Overall we would stay again and would recommend this property.

Absolute fantastic property with plenty of amenities, games for children, local walks and small shops nearby.

The property boasts 2 double and 1 kingsize bedroom with an ensuite and a toilet on every floor! Stunning attention to detail, everything had been considered, from the trays in the bedroom to place your trinkets and drinks on, bedside lamps, extra blankets and towels. No expense was spared on the kitchen and living room items and everything was perfect. Only a tiny piece of feedback as I like to think I'm a dab in the kitchen...bring your own potato masher and tin opener, otherwise absolutely plenty of cleaning, cooking and washing utensils. Thank you so much for making our stay amazing in your home, it felt very much like a modern home from home with a spectacular view from our impressive 'penthouse kingsize' through the window!

Lovely house, perfect attention to detail, especially the welcome pack of bread, milk, tea, coffee etc, just what we needed to find after a long journey.

Beds very comfortable, beautifully furnished and nice hot showers. The table tennis in the converted garage was a god send, as were the washing and drying facilities. The Alexa is a terrific idea, great to have background music and answer our questions. Highly recommended property, we will be back in N Wales and definitely plan around staying in this house again.

Fantastic location, and had all we needed in the house.

Stairs maybe a bit difficult for the less able. Would stay again!

Thank you ever so much!

An absolutely fabulous holiday! Excellent home, full of luxurious things to entertain, after hours of gazing at the fabulous views! Would highly recommend climbing Snowdon by whichever method suits. Abersoch beach was beautiful and don't forget Beddgelert - a legend! Thank you again!

We had a fabulous stay.

Just returned from a weeks holiday staying at Ty Jem property in Criccieth Wales and what a fantastic time we’ve had!

!. Ty Jem is a real home from home as its furnished to to a very high standard and unlike a lot of rental properties we’ve stayed at before, is fully stocked with everything you need to really enjoy your stay. As soon as we walked through the door you could tell the owners had put a lot of thought into the property, from the comfiest of beds in every room (they even provided a choice of firm or soft pillows to choose from), to the well stocked kitchen, which had everything you needed to make literally anything!!. Even the dog was well catered for on his stay with water and food bowls provided for him!. The property is excellently located centrally in the village and is close to a good selection of shops, restaurants, takeaways and of course the lovely beach. It’s also close to the train station, so it’s easy to hop on a train for a lovely day trip if you don’t fancy driving. There are some lovely walks right from your front door and the Welsh costal path is also right on your doorstep. I don’t normally write reviews, but on this occasion, I felt compelled to do so. Ty Jem is a real gem of a property, we can’t wait to return again later in the year, so it’s 5 stars from us!!

Thank you so much, the house is amazing!

We honestly couldn't find anything we thought could be improved. We were blessed with good weather, quite unexpected for bank holiday weekend! The area is fantastic, we got a few good walks in between stopping in cafes and Sunday dinner at the Prince of Wales. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We were quite surprised how quiet and peaceful it was especially on bank holiday. It truly was the most relaxing few days we've had in a long time, we really did not want to leave and would love to come back. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful house and we would love to come back and hopefully even stay a bit longer.
