SALLY GLADWIN
Bwthyn yr Ardd is an absolutely lovely cottage in a beautiful, peaceful location. It has everything you could possibly need and is clean and comfortable. The beds were really comfortable, the showers are great, the kitchen is large and well equipped and the lounge is comfortable. So many lovely places to visit nearby. A fantastic place to stay. The only reason I can't give it 5/5 for comfort and equipment is the wonky toilet seat in the main bathroom, which is really annoying, and the oven/grill have seen better days. Criccieth, itself, is lovely to visit and explore, but limited in terms of places to eat and drink. We had a wonderful week's stay and hope to come back for 2 weeks next time.

Well maintained cottage set in wonderful grounds - our week felt very relaxing and our dog enjoyed both the secure garden and also being walked in the grounds. It’s an easy walk into Criccieth, which we did many times. We would happily return here.

The cottage was a nice size, well equipped and maintained and in a good location for our family group, aging from 8 to 80 years with the addition of our well-behaved pet dog, to enjoy a special birthday weekend break on the North Wales coast.(The stairs are very steep. None of us had any problems but people less mobile might struggle.)
