Y Castell Apartment 3

We had a short holiday break as a family staying at Y Castell Apartment 3.

The apartment was lovely, clean and ideally located next to the sea front and town. The communication with the owners was fantastic prior to our arrival, with very clear instructions of key location, amenities and anything relevant to our stay. 10/10

Lovely flat, really well located, responsive and helpful hosts.

We were very happy and comfortable with our stay.

We did not need to ask the owners for help, but they were very communicative and willing to be of any assistance. Our out-of-season price was very reasonable. I would certainly recommend this seaside flat.

Arwel & Elen are two of the helpful hosts I’ve ever met, the property is lovely and the location is very well placed next to the beach.

I’d definitely recommend the apartments. Hopefully see you guys soon in future. Best wishes

The hosts were very accommodating, the property was exceptionally clean, well equipped, oven trays already had foil on them which was a nice touch and it was well located, minutes way from Cadwaladers and the Castle fish and chip shop, from a walk along the sea front and we wouldn't hesitate to come back.

We were able to park outside.

This property is situated in a lovely position, just off the promenade at Criccieth.

There are views from the windows of the castle and the sea. It was lovely, going for a walk late in the evening, knowing that we were so close to the apartment in a very safe area. We left the bedroom windows open at night as there was a lovely warm sea breeze coming through. The apartment is very well equipped. Elen is a friendly host and very responsive in communicating. The bed was very comfortable with quality linens. Having Netflix was an added bonus. Thank you for a lovely stay, Angela, Lance & Caroline

This is a good apartment in a very nice seaside town, with plenty of opportunity for coastal walks.

Extractor fan in bathroom was not working but owner says it will be fixed for next guests, quite important because the bathroom has no opening window. The weather turned very hot whilst we were there and the owner Ellen very kindly brought round fans for all the apartments in the building, so thankyou.

The accommodation was very good.

It was lovely to be able to see the sea and the castle from the windows. We had a brilliant time away and we didn't want to leave. Linda and Mark

Very comfortable, well-equipped accommodation in a great little resort.

We hadn't noticed the advertised late check-in time, so were pleased that Elen had the apartment ready for us by 3.30. It was a great base for exploring the whole of the Lleyn peninsula which is a perfect holiday destination.

A great base for exploring the area.

Clean, tidy & spacious apartment. Good value too.

Excellent cottage with sea and castle views, a short walk to the shops.

The flat has everything we needed for a relaxing holiday with parking directly outside the flat no problem all week. We had trips to Llandudno, Betws-y-coed, Caernarfon, and really enjoyed the castle at Criccieth and the beaches. The pitch and putt in the park was great fun and only £10 for a family of four. We will definitely be back.

The apartment is just off the beachfront in Criccieth with views down to the sea out of the front and Criccieth castle from the kitchen.

The lounge and master bedroom are spacious and comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped. It is a great base for activities around the Llŷn peninsula and Snowdonia, being around 45 minutes from Llanberis and one of the Snowdon ascents, closer to an hour for some other routes. There is also a great beginner hike up Moel-Y-Gest around 10 minutes away. We had a great time walking the incredible scenery around Snowdonia and always looked forward to relaxing back at the apartment after a long day. Thoroughly recommend.

This is a very good apartment in a good location with plenty of walking opportunities along the coast.

We looked upon the climb to the 2nd floor as good health exercise. Contact with owner was very swift when we had a problem. Thankyou.

Excellent stay and well maintained flat.

Lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful location; beach and Criccieth Castle literally a stones throw away (and there are plenty of stones to choose from) and all other facilities (shops, pubs and lots of food offers) in short walking distance (although some inclines to negotiate); some great walks nearby, direct from the end of the road, and Porthmadog and Portmerion are just a short drive from the accomodation.

Only 45-50 ish minutes to Snowdon if you fancy the mountains, with an awe inspiring drive through Llanberis Pass in the low mist (although I would recommend the longer route via main roads and Caenarfon if you/ your wife/ husband are of a nervous disposition!) Our second stay here and would definitely go back..Loved it!!

This is our 3 visit & as before it was home from home.

We had sunshine each day & although it was very cold outside we managed our walks.Then back to cosy accommodation. We will return

Extremely good communication from the owners regarding access, location and use of the apartment.

One of the very few S/c properties we have used where recycling was made easily available. Excellent kitchen appliances, ( if like me you prefer to cook) practical and comfortable apartment. Very quiet location and with easy access to the town and beaches. Plenty of free street parking close by. The only disadvantage is 2 flights of stairs which is fine if you are fit!

Very impressive apartment, great location and the communication from the owners was excellent.

The views from around the apartment of the sea and the castle were an added bonus, we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely place to stay.

Really tasteful decor and everything you could need. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent, quiet location - 1 minute walk from the beach, 7 minutes to great fish and chips and ice cream parlour.

Easy to get onto the coastal path nearby. Great facilities- quality shower, loads of towels and the washing machine was a handy bonus. Kids (9 and 11) were pleased with bunk beds, and the tech - Amazon/Netflix/Alexa. Would definitely stay here again!

Had a great week in Criccieth, the apartment is ideally located within the village, in walking distance of everything on offer.

A sea view from the front and a castle view from the back! What could be better! Netflix and Alexa were great too for when the weather took a turn now and again. Will book again hopefully.

Amazing property, great condition and we really enjoyed our stay, the kids loved the bunk beds!

Thanks for everything, Mike and Karen

Good location clean warm & comfortable everything we needed for a nice birthday treat for me.

Will go again

Amazing location, minutes from the sea.

Great views from all the windows. Apartment was clean, spacious and very well equipped. Owners were very friendly and helpful. We had an amazing holiday.

A nice flat and really close to the beach, equipped with anything you would need for your stay.

I liked the decor and some of the original Victorian features retained. A good holiday base

Being on the 2nd floor allowed good views over the surrounding rooftops of both the sea and the castle.

Lovely flat, very clean, and very near the beach.

Had a brilliant break. Thank you again

Very comfy

We had a marvellous time, apartment was in a perfect location.

The glorious weather helped. E-.ails and contact from the owners was a great help in todays covid climate, thanks

Equipment and comfort in apartment 3 is to a very high standard.

No expense has been spared. The only issue is access consists of two flights of stairs and carrying ones luggage or if elderly/disabled it can be an issue.

Close proximity to the beach and castle.

Great size for 4 people. Kitchen had everything we needed. Plus it was lovely and warm too. We didn't like was the ladder on the bunk bed. My son said it was very uncomfortable to climb; also it is very short so you have to jump down from quite high up. Also, the small bedroom lacked storage - the toy chest does not equate to a chest of drawers plus it was broken. This room definitely needs new storage as we were unable to unpack our small cases.

Been to North Wales lots of times over the years, but never managed to make it to Criccieth; what a lovely little town.

Will definitely go back some time. The apartment was well equipped and beautifully situated just a couple of minutes walk to Marine Beach and a short stroll to Criccieth Castle, which is also visible from the bedroom window and kitchen. Chip shop, pubs and the local shop just a 10 minute walk away and a nice coastal walk on offer if you head in the opposite direction. The accommodation is well presented and cosy - the kids loved it, but the weather was pretty kind to us! Only thing I would add is that out of main holiday season everything shuts down for a couple of hours between 2pm and 5pm so if you are planning eating out factor that in to your agenda. Also the cashpoint seems to be permanently broken - you can get cash as the Post Office if all else fails.

No everything was lovely

Nice place to stay, lots to see,

The apartment has been tastefully furnished and is very well equipped.

The flat was exactly as described and the owners extremely kind and helpful.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at Y Castell and look forward to visiting again in the future.

This apartment was very comfortable and well-equipped.

The location was very suitable for us as a base to explore North Wales, and within Criccieth itself with the beach at the end of the road, and just around the corner from the castle. The owners were very attentive and approachable, happy to help out with any questions or issues we might have had (we didn't have any).

spacious, well maintained and equipped apartment.

sea views, which are not shown in photos, so better than expected. Great location for those wanting to explore the coast, Lynn peninsula as well as Snowdon. The owners and Syke exceeded expectations in sorting minor issue when we first arrived. thankyou

Lovely apartment close to beach and amenities.

All was fine thsnkyou

Excellent base for visiting north west Wales tourist locations, e.

g. Snowdon, Portmeirion, insight to the slate industry, choice of mountain steam railways, and plenty of castles.

My English is 35 Years ago but the rooms are very good, Criccieth is a nice town and the Welsh Highland and Ffestiniog Railways are not far away.

With best regards Dieter and Volker from Germany

Had a lovely stay in criccieth, apartment was just as described, very clean and comfortable and near to everything.

Great location, less than a minute away form the beach and a leisurely 5 minute walk from gorgeous Criccieth Castle.

Perfect for Snowdon, Portmerion, Llyn Peninsula. Flat was clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. Looking at past reviews, the flat now has a cheese grater and the mattresses were spring, not memory foam (shame, really - MF rules but it is divisive...). They obviously act upon reviews and are constantly improving, which is great. So here is one for you guys: there was no soap in the bathroom or kitchen and only half a toilet roll. Luckily we'd brought both but generally we'd find these included in the 'basics' from AirBnB and Booking. The other thing is that a prior tenant has completely destroyed the wok, which was rendered unusable (got pics if you want me to send them to you), which meant there was no non-stick pan of any kind (hard to fry anything without these). Let me reiterate that the above weren't big things/obstacles and would definitely and highly recommend the place.

Flat was the cleanest we've come across.

Need a cheese grater in the kitchen and memory foam mattress are not to everyone’s liking.

Great location, internet really good lovely holiday home.

Beds could be better

The apartment is very clean and comfortable.

It is very well equipped. The owners are very helpful. Criccieth is a lovely place to stay as it is a quiet seaside town. We had views of the sea and the castle from the apartment. A super holiday.

Very happy with the accommodation

This holiday was 100% perfection.

.. definitely to be repeated!!!

This was an amazing place to stay and had all the facilities we needed.

Would recommend

We had a wonderful week in this lovely accommodation.

Fab location and great flat which had everything we needed for a family of four.

Couldn’t fault our stay here.

Fantastic location, only a few minutes walk from the beach, castle, eateries and shops. Larger supermarkets can also be found just 10 minutes drive away in Porthmadog. The apartment was spotlessly clean, felt welcoming and was very well equipped with full sized fridge freezer and cooker, microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer and ample cooking equipment. The owners have clearly thought of everything and it was a real home from home. Thank you for a fantastic week.

Lovely location close to beach .

Nice as was also close to porthmadog and quick drive to black rock sands . We will be back next year

A perfect, family seaside apartment.

Generously sized, well appointed rooms with modern decor and plenty of towels, linen, cleaning basics etc. Good kitchen and lovely to have a sea view over breakfast! Well located, a very short stroll to the beach and a few minutes to the castle and then on into the village centre. Criccieth a great location for our young family with great beach to explore on the doorstep; will certainly recommend.

Brilliant place and would really recommend to anyone visiting the area

We had a great time.

Used the beach at Abersoch as Criccieth very stony! Local facilities very good especially the ice cream and fish and chips shop. Weather was great for 5 of the 6 days.

We were so pleased with the apartment.

It was as shown on your web page with no hidden problems. It was clean bright and a great base for us for our holiday. Well worth the money. Easy to find and easy parking. Peace and quiet which was just what we wanted. Thank you .
