Guests say
Kris Kin cottage in Criccieth is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its spaciousness, hot tub, and suitability for dogs. Guests appreciate the helpful owners, comfortable beds, and the property's proximity to local attractions. Despite some maintenance issues, the overall experience is positive, with many guests looking forward to returning.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean, with lovely clean bedding and a comfortable environment. One review mentioned the need for a deep clean, but this seems to be an isolated opinion.
The location is consistently described as beautiful and peaceful, with easy access to Snowdon and beaches. Its proximity to local amenities like the Goat Inn and Castle Chippy is also appreciated.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, although there is a mention of needing care when getting in and out of beds set under the eaves. The overall comfort level is high.
Facilities like the hot tub, airfryer, and car charger are well-received. However, there were issues with hot water and a flushing toilet, and a suggestion for general updating, which affects the score.
While guests find the owners helpful and responsive, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
