  We had a fab stay in beautiful Criccieth in the quirky but comfortable Y Stabl.

  Once we found the door to get in (go up the street and it’s the gate before the launderette past the red door and into the side entrance) we were blown away by how amazing the place was. The cottage is on three levels but you walk in on level two. We used the main front door into the very well equipped kitchen to save tramping up and down the carpeted stairs in our outdoor shoes. The kitchen is spacious and spotlessly clean, we were a little disappointed at the lack of coffee machine (self confessed coffee snobs!) however there was cafetières to make up for it. The only thing I would add to the kitchen is an air fryer. The lounge area is pretty bizarre with its amazing wall art, massive TV, comfy couch and swivel chair by the cute little balcony with the stunning sea view, even though it was late in the year we had the doors open several times. We couldn’t work out how to use the sound system sadly but we made do without. The shower and steam room was just heavenly and such a lovely luxury. The bedroom is right up in the attic and has a low beam and a sloping ceiling but the comfortable bed has a view of the castle from one window, which is stunning when lit up at night and the other window has a sea view. The jacuzzi bath is the main reason we booked this cottage and although it’s a little compact it was used three times! We dined at The Spice Bank, delicious Sunday lunch and Saturday brunch was eaten at Tir a Mor and we had a lovely lunch at Dylan’s and we also had dinner at Moelwyn which in summer has a lovely view from the dining room. We adore Criccieth and finding this lovely property just made us love it a little more! We most definitely will be returning.

  Fir tree cottage was a lovely place to stay .

  It is in an excellent position overlooking the sea and the castle. Very comfortable and everything you need for a great stay . The only thing i would say is it would be nice to have a small welcome pack for when you arrive after a long journey just until you could get to the shops to buy groceries for your stay . Criccieth is a nice place with a lovely beach . However it does lack a little in good eating places . The pubs were run by very young people who lacked experience in customer service chatting amongst themselves and not cleaning up so to free up tables . A lovely little tea room with homemade cake etc was charming and also a great bistro with fantastic views from a small terrace and gorgeous food . Found a lot of eating places closed early in the week and only open Thursday---- Sunday . Would recommend Fir tree cottage .

  This was our second stay here.

  It is a fabulous place, we loved the cottage first time round and although we still had a lovely week we felt that the place was lacking in some TLC. The freezer was completely frozen over all the drawers meaning we were only able to use one of them after hacking the ice from the front to get it to open. The washing machine was not working and clearly hadn't been for some time as the dispenser drawer was full of stagnent water which we can only assume accounted for the terrible smell in the kitchen. I did leave a note to inform the cleaner so hopefully this will have been sorted out. One other off putting thing was when we stripped the bed on our last day the quilt was very yellow and stained.....not nice. Not so sure we would stay again.

  We had a wonderful sunny week- the setting was excellent and the accommodation well equipped and comfortable .

  Too hot to try the jacuzzi bath or steam room- maybe we will return in the cooler weather! A name plate on the front door would be helpful on arrival - the instructions were accurate regarding key box but an initial confirmation we were at the right property would have been reassuring. The kitchen was well equipped but a tray would be a good addition as most of our time was spent in the lounge area due to views. Addition of info re bins and recycling would have been helpful. The TV in bedroom and kitchen did not work and the one in the lounge needed the internet settings reconfirming more than once- info in the pack regarding this would be helpful. Thank you

  The property where we were staying was lovely and easy to reach.

  Also, considering the surrounding roads it was very easy to move all over north Wales without any major issues. An extra point is that around the cottage there are 2 very pleasant hikes, a small farm with rabbits and alpacas, and for both you don't need to use the car. The hot tub had been freshly prepared for us to use. The fridge contained a bottle of prosecco and milk. The couple owning the place were great. They live just across the parking space, and they were always available if we needed anything. Our stay has been just perfect, and we are looking forward to coming back, as for the first time while on holiday I didn't miss my own bed.
