The property is frequently described as comfortable and cosy, with a welcoming atmosphere. However, a few guests mentioned issues with hot bedrooms and wobbly kitchen chairs, slightly impacting the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-stocked kitchen, games, and a snooker room.

About this property
This beloved family holiday home has been passed down for generations. It has been thoughtfully refurbished to compliment the period features and make the best of all the space to enhance your stay. For example, there is a fantastic nook that looks over Criccieth bay and the castle on the headland. I could while away hours in this very spot!
The kitchen is the heart of the home. A lovely large farmhouse style table is in the center of the well-equipped kitchen with an electric oven, gas hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and Nespresso coffee machine.
There is a large seating area with comfy sofas, open fire, Smart TV, with Netflix, Prime etc, books and games to enjoy. The dining area has fantastic views of the bay and a table that extends to seat ten when required.
There is a room dedicated to a professional pool table, and Smart TV where we are sure you will have hours of fun! The utility area has a washing machine, tumble dryer and large Belfast sink. With its own entrance, this is the perfect spot for those muddy boots or sandy towels.

Nant y Wyddan is in such a great spot. Just a short stroll from the beach, castle, coastal path and not to mention all the shops, cafes and restaurants that Criccieth has to offer. You really would have no reason to get in the car.
If you wanted to venture a little further it is easy to explore the Llŷn Peninsular or head into the Snowdonia National Park from here. North Wales really is your Oyster!
Often described as the 'Pearl of Wales on the shores of Snowdonia’, this delightful seaside town is situated just 5 miles from Porthmadog. The town’s 13th century castle perches majestically on a rocky outcrop, dominating the skyline and offering superb views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. Watersports enthusiasts will be delighted by the two beaches, whilst walkers and bikers are spoilt for choice by the proximity of the beautiful Snowdonia National Park. Stroll along the beaches, watch porpoises playing in the surf, or relax in the various pubs, restaurants and tea rooms, sampling the famous Cadwalader’s ice cream.

Staying in autumn we were comfortably warm, cosy and felt we had a home for the week. The house is very well equipped and the games room was a big bonus. Criccieth is a great base for the coast and exploring inland. It has plenty to offer in the town and still retains its traditional character. The views from the house we a special delight.

The rooms were spacious with clean white linen on comfortable beds.Located in a nice quite position.On the negative side we found that the kitchen chairs were very wobbly and uncomfortable and so used the dining room instead.Also found that the bay window curtains nearly impossible to draw.It was also a shame that the snooker room was to small to have a decent game of snooker in the dark evenings.The worse thing was the unacceptable state of the pantry window which was covered in black mould and the items in the window it looked liked it had not been cleaned in months, very off putting in an area connected with food.

It is well equipped, comfortable and well maintained. We liked the improvements made to the sitting room with the new floor! The âlook outâ window is popular with the whole family and we love the view of the sea and castle. The selection of books was enjoyed by the children as were the games. Very nice to stay in a house which is loved and well cared for!
