September 2020

“This barn is absolutely incredible.”

We had an amazing 3 nights here. I would highly recommend. The property is beautiful. There is everything you need and it is immaculately clean and really modern. The owner is so friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our mini break. We will definitely return. The added bonus of a pub literally a stones throw from the barn is also perfect with a lovely outside drinking area. Criccieth is beautiful and the surrounding area. Thankyou for such a wonderful break.

“Very well maintained, comfortable cottage, in a convenient position just off the high street.”

Mr Gibbons February 2020

“The cottage was very nicely decorated, warm and clean.”

The ‘upside down’ layout, wasn’t an issue and made good use of the layout of the cottage and the living area and bedrooms are a decent size. The basic supplies waiting on our arrival were very welcome too. The parking is a bonus, although, not sure ‘big’ cars would get through the arch. It’s great in the middle of the town - good access to the beach, castle and a good base for exploring the surrounding area. It was February, so not all the restaurants are open or are only open part of the week. But the facilities in the cottage, would negate that issue, if you are not adverse to cooking on a holiday or few days away. Good value for money - would recommend

Mr Fearnley January 2020

“Great location lovely, clean and warm rental and thank you for the welcome pack the village has everything you could possible need shops, pubs and restaurants very friendly locals.”

The only suggestions we have is there is limited kitchen equipment compared to other rentals we have stayed in, more pans, crockery, cutlery and utensils etc would make dinning in a better experience and a larger toaster would help but all in all a great place to stay and we will be back thank you

Mrs Highams December 2019

“The manager Mr Pritchard couldn't have been more helpful; the cottage was exactly as we hoped, very cosy and perfectly placed for beaches and other walks; cleanliness was good and as expected in accommodation where you can have dogs; some of the furniture could do with replacing, but all-in-all we had a fabulous few days away.”

- Mrs Highams, December 2019
Mrs Garvey November 2019

“A great location, just a short walk to the sea, restaurants, coffee shops and next door to a cosy pub; everything on the doorstep.”

The owner was very helpful and made us feel welcome. Criccieth is an ideal holiday base. The only problem was the cottage was so nice that we didn’t want to leave it! Will definitely return

- Mrs Garvey, November 2019
Mr Evans October 2019

“Lovely cottage, located yards from the main street in a small village.”

Ideal location to explore North Wales and Snowdonian national park.

- Mr Evans, October 2019
Ms Doble September 2019

“Lovely well-equipped cottage in a great location close to amenities, with very friendly locals.”

Lots of dog friendly places to eat & visit nearby. Would happily stay here again.

Mrs Thrall July 2019

“Wonderful holiday cottage very convenient for the beach and right on the High Street.”

The town has everything you need and everyone is very friendly. Wonderful cafe a few doors down which is dog friendly inside, a fab find on a wet afternoon. The cottage is lovely, comfy beds and clean bathrooms. The kitchen could do with a few more bits of crockery and pans etc. The pub was not a problem noise wise, the only slight issue was the air conditioning unit at the pub. This is right next door to one of the bedroom windows and it kept coming on throughout the night and was quite noisy although I’m sure if the windows were shut you wouldn’t hear it though. All in all a very lovely place which we would definitely rebook.

- Mrs Thrall, July 2019
Mr Bragg July 2019

“Three minor issues: the toaster needs replacing, bath towels could do with being larger and better quality, toilet seat in en suite needs refixing.”

We would, however, go back to this cottage without hesitation as the layout was excellent and it was very comfortable. The noise from the building work and the pub next door were minor irritants, particularly as we were out for most of every day. We loved the area and intend to return later in the year, hopefully, staying in the same place.

- Mr Bragg, July 2019
Mrs Grogan June 2019

“The property was in excellent condition, very clean and comfortable and had all the equipment one would need, supplied.”

the bedding and towels were good quality too. could even see the sea from the lounge. although close to the Pub, this also meant we were close to the main street and all its amenities, which suited us very well. No complaints, would definitely come again.

Mrs Gadsby April 2019

The cottage was for 6 persons it would have been better to have above the 6 place settings knives fork spoons also and extra plate or bowl or 2 and also a larger pan It was impossible to make pasta in the smallest of pans Apart from that was brilliant and I know the area very well having been born and brought up in Criccieth

- Mrs Gadsby, April 2019
Mr Taylor April 2019

“The cottage has a great location behind the pub handy for the high street and not too far from the beach.”

We has no issues with the beer garden at the pub but I can imagine it would get noisy at weekends in the hight of summer. This is a great location for exploring the coast.

- Mr Taylor, April 2019
Mr Purton March 2019

“Everything on your front door .”

Pub. Restaurants . And beach 5 mins away. Everyone in village so friendly. Would definitely consider coming back.

Mrs Davies October 2018

“Little things let this property down, back windows need replacing which would help with the noise complaints from some reviews.”

More utensils needed in kitchen and storage needed although I think the owner is aware of this. Really comfortable beds and seating area although maybe another sofa if accommodating 6 adults. Location is great and we would definitely recommend and book again.

- Mrs Davies, October 2018
Mr Williams October 2018

We will be glad to stay in the future. Many thanks, Malcolm Williams.

Beautiful cottage very spacious for 4 adults and a large dog No negatives Would book again but maybe if just with my husband the smaller property next door ( same owner ) Mrs Susan Foster

- Mrs Foster, September 2018
Mrs Ball September 2018

“Fantastic accommodation and a stunning place to visit.”

Plenty of facilities and amenities to hand - very helpful local residents. I would highly recommend this cottage and the surrounding area. However one constructive criticism is that the accommodation could do with a coffee table of some sort. As with the large living area there isn’t anywhere to place cups etc. We didn’t have an issue but with it being a dog friendly some owners could have issues with drinks on the floor. Will definitely be returning to North Wales!

- Mrs Ball, September 2018
Mr Bird September 2018

“As others have already mentioned, the noise from the live music held outside the pub is obtrusive, even with the windows closed - easily drowned out the TV, no matter how loud we turned it up!”

- However, it was only one night and we quite enjoyed the band! The property is very conveniently sited, parking in the pub carpark (which is where the property is) was also easy and convenient. Some aspects of the cleaning could be improved (top of the fridge?) and we had to go out and purchase washing up liquid and dishcloths. Some owners provide, some obviously don't. All in all though, we very much enjoyed our stay.

- Mr Bird, September 2018
Mrs Ward June 2018

“Well situated cottage behind High Street in Criccieth.”

Welcome pack very good, cottage was clean and tidy. Everything we needed was there but we were only 2 people, cutlery,pots etc would just about do 6. We really liked the fact that there weren’t lots of notices and instructions around the place - that made it more homely. Pub noise on Saturday we expected so wasn’t a problem and didn’t go on too long. Parking was ample and the sea a short walk.

- Mrs Ward, June 2018
Mrs Penford May 2018

“I emailed you regarding the possibility of a slightly later departure.”

We hired 2 cottages next door to each other but owned by the same person. This meant there was a possibility of leaving one for the cleaners to start on and one to extend our stay by a couple of hours at the most. I explained it was my sons wedding and we could have been really stuck with no base to use. I received the standard reply - unfortunately the cleaners need to be able ........ etc. I phoned the owner who was amazing and said it was no problem as we had hired both. This is something you could have done. Because of your unhelpful ness and inability to take on board a customers dilemma I may have had to cancel my booking and booked a hotel for the night before for 8 people. My hat goes off to the owner and the cleaner but not to the staff at Sykes.

“Had a great stay at Cefn Brn Mawr.”

Great location and lovely beautiful cottage. Hopefully we will be back soon.

Mrs Archer April 2018

“The cottage was warm and comfortable and info and brochures were very useful especially for eating out.”

We liked upside down living and somewhere to lounge in the evening. Beds were very comfortable and the en suite had a lovely big shower.

- Mrs Archer, April 2018
Mr Taylor March 2018

“This is the 11th cottage we have rented in GB over the years and our least favorite.”

The kitchen is poorly equipped simply because for a 6 person cottage they only have 5 place settings. I did text the manager who failed to respond to my concerns.. .The rest of the kitchenware is minimal at best as were the other supplies for cleaning etc. .. The cleaning also leaves a lot to be desired. Some areas such as under the beds, as one of our party described it as disgusting. Based on our previous experiences this cottage was not equipped to the standard of the others and was a big disappointment.

- Mr Taylor, March 2018
Ms Cooper March 2018

“Lovely accomadation.”

Close to beach and local shops/ pubs . Visited lots of lovely places. Friendly local people' excellent value for money.

We came here for a holiday to go on the beach it was really nice the beds were nice and comfortable it was warm (but the upstairs window latch was snapped of by someone which meant the heating was constantly on to get rid of the draft coming in) there was noise coming from the pub but that didn't bother us the location was amazing the sound of the trains coming past early morning and late night there were tons of things to do like go to aber falls and stand under the waterfall it was great We definitely will come again Thanks, The Dimelow Family

- Mr Dimelow, February 2018
Mr Osley February 2018

“We loved the house.”

Only a couple of things were a worry. Some of the windows upstairs didn’t have catches - and could easily be opened by our 4 year old. A fall hazard. Plus one downstairs not secure either so anyone could get in fairly easily to break in while out. But we did see Gwyn as we left and we let him know all this. The front door could do with a blind on it to preserve modesty coming out of the bathroom. Loo brush needed in ensuite. Apart from that it was clean, lovely and warm and cosy. We loved it. Especially our little one who loved his chair as he called it. The swing seat. It was a fab base for exploring locally and doing lots of castles. Excellently placed for touring if you are not bothered about a big garden - and because there’s so many lovely places nearby like the beach it was perfect for us. The train track didn’t bother us and neither did the pub. The decor is lovely and fresh looking. Great place.

“A beautifully presented cottage in a lovely Welsh town that was perfect for exploring the area without having to travel very far.”

Only a few minutes walk to the lovely beach and good cycle routes. The cottage was one of the nicest we have ever stayed in and we even received a lovely welcome pack. Sadly this was spoiled. The cottage is situated behind what seems to be a quiet pub. Unfortunately the comment on the website of 'associated noise' from the pub was a little underestimated. Despite having had a lovely week, it was spoiled by the very loud music from a party in the outdoor area of the pub on the last night. This may have been a 'one-off', who knows, but it was so loud that we couldn't even hear the television. What a shame. It would definitely stop us going back and needs to be seriously considered by other users before booking.

Mrs Pamment October 2017

“The accommodation was excellent.”

Clean tidy kitchen utensils and saucepans a little minimal but otherwise very good.
