The views were fantastic. Lovely and warm. Were allowed to check in early and check out late, which really made our weekend so much more relaxing. Thank you.

(Some tea and various spices in kitchen too) A beautiful, comfortable house with plenty of space for our party of 10 on our annual "soup holiday" together. Lots to do in the area and great views. We really enjoyed our meal at No 51, otherwise mostly home cooking. NB the Aga takes a bit of getting used to, apart from a microwave, electric kettle and toaster there is no other means of cooking.

We all slept well listening to the sea. We didnât have great weather all the time but when we were stuck in we loved looking out at the sea views from the sitting rooms. We even mastered the Aga - worked well for lots of vegetarians- roasting vegetables perfectly ! Criccieth is a great town with lots of great antique shops and cafes - we ate as a big group at Bwyty 51 which had really good food. Thanks!
