    There was everything there that we required and it was spotless. We would recommend it .

  • Sarah

    Right in the centre of Criccieth it's the perfect location for strolling around the town & a great base for exploring the area. We had a wonderful stay here & would highly recommended it.

  • Helen

    Well supplied even with milk sugar tea coffee and Welsh cakes. The owners were wonderful to deal with couldn’t have asked for more. They were friendly and obviously took pride and interest in our welfare without being at all intrusive. Pity we live so far away would definitely stay here again. Thanks for the extra tea bags Helen Torr
