Berllys in Criccieth is praised for its welcoming owner and prime location, offering easy access to local attractions and the beach. Guests enjoy the property's garden and the cosy atmosphere, ideal for relaxing after exploring the area. While some guests mention the need for a thorough cleaning and decluttering, the overall experience is positive, with many considering a return visit.
Guests have noted that Berllys could benefit from a deeper clean, with some mentioning the presence of dead insects and a need for bug treatment. However, the property was described as tidy and adequately clean upon arrival by others.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the town centre, beach, and local walks, making it an excellent base for exploring Criccieth and the surrounding area.
The property is described as cosy and relaxing, with comfortable chairs and a pleasant garden. However, some guests felt the space might be a bit small for larger groups.
Facilities such as a private drive and a washer are appreciated, but some guests noted issues with kitchen clutter and the clothesline. The absence of a dryer and a cheese grater were minor inconveniences mentioned.
While the owner's hospitality is frequently commended, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.
Located in Criccieth, a coastal town in Gwynedd is Berllys, a well-positioned, two-bedroom annexe. Just a stone's throw away from a variety of shops, eateries, Criccieth Castle, and the shoreline, Berllys features a private driveway, a pretty, communal patio, and flexible sleeping arrangements. Park up and unload your personal belongings before travelling to the rear of the annexe. Be welcomed into the sitting room, complete with traditional furnishings, a Smart TV, and an electric fire, before heading into the kitchen/diner, well-equipped with a host of amenities to ease your stay. Prepare meals and dine as a four, or head outdoors to the rear patio to enjoy the last of the Welsh sunshine. When sleep calls, select between two bedrooms, both complete with TVs and ample storage, including a ground-floor king-size, and a twin, both serviced by a ground-floor shower room. Once you're ready to explore, prepare for a day of sightseeing and touring, visiting the magnificent Criccieth Castle and sweeping shoreline, before stocking up on the essentials at a nearby shop, ready to dine in, or dine out at the Bryn Hir Arms or Swn-y-Mor. Travel a short distance to Porthmadog, home to the Maritime Museum, Borth y Gest Beach, the Black Rock Llamas, offering treks and petting experiences, and the Traeth Glaslyn North Wales Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve, delivering something for all types of visitors. Pass through Portmeirion for a day of lovely views, outdoors activities, and the chance to visit many delightful eateries and boutique shops, before reaching Snowdonia National Park, ready to tour the Sygun Copper Mine, hike across Beddgelert Forest, and immerse yourself at Zip World Llechwedd. Enjoy both the coast and country at Berllys.
This charming beach town, sometimes referred to as the "Pearl of Wales on the coasts of Snowdonia," is located only 5 miles from Porthmadog. The town's castle, which dates back to the 13th century, towers over the surrounding landscape, dominating the skyline and providing spectacular views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. The two beaches will be a delight for anyone who enjoy water sports, and the proximity to the stunning Snowdonia National Park will leave hikers and bikers with plenty of options. Take a leisurely stroll along the beaches, observe porpoises playing in the surf, or unwind in one of the many taverns, restaurants, or tea rooms while enjoying some of the renowned Cadwalader's ice cream.

Accommodation near shops and beach, but in need of updating.

The owner promptly greeted us on our arrival and we received a very warm, friendly welcome. Berllys is a cosy and relaxing holiday annex and would be ideal for a family break, in my opinion, 4 adults may find it a little small. We were extremely pleased with it though and it is well equipped with ample utensils, crockery etc. We could not locate a cheese grater but that is really a small matter. The annex was tidy and adequately clean for our arrival, though there was an empty plastic drinks bottle under the kitchen table and used pillow case on the floor of the bedroom upstairs. Again, small matters, but maybe the cleaning staff could be more thorough. Don't get me wrong, we did really love the flat/annex and would return again! Location wise, you cannot rent a better property. Extremely close to the town centre, railway and bus stops and all of Criccieth's many wonders.

Lovely part of Criccieth. Easy walk to the beach. Everything you need for a short stay.
