Guests say
Craig Y Wylan is a well-loved cottage praised for its stunning, tranquil seaside location and wildlife views. Guests enjoyed comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and the proximity to coastal paths. The property's quirkiness and the owner's responsiveness added to the charm. While some maintenance issues were noted, the overall experience was positive, with many guests eager to return.
The majority of guests found the property to be clean and well-presented upon arrival. However, a few guests mentioned issues such as a smelly dishwasher and the need for a deep clean, slightly affecting the overall impression of cleanliness.
The location is consistently lauded for its breathtaking sea views, abundant wildlife, and direct access to the coastal path. The unique setting surrounded by the sea at high tide was a highlight for many, contributing to a near-perfect score.
Guests found the beds very comfortable and the living areas spacious. Some guests mentioned uneven floors and hard beds in a few instances, which suggests room for improvement in ensuring consistent comfort for all visitors.
Facilities were generally appreciated, especially the well-appointed kitchen. However, comments about the need for modernisation, issues with water pressure, and maintenance concerns in bathrooms indicate that some facilities could benefit from updates and repairs.
The owner's thoughtfulness was evident in the welcome texts and the provision of a welcome basket, which was well-received. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

Everything about the house was as described on the web site and the fact that we had wall to wall sunshine was the icing on the cake. Everything was clean and tidy, the house was very equipped and we felt very relaxed at the end of the week. Thank you.
