Guests enjoy the property's spaciousness and find it a good base for exploring the area. While some guests mention a need for updates and additional comfort, the property's charm and location are consistently praised.
The property is generally found to be clean, though some guests noted the presence of dead insects and areas that could benefit from more thorough cleaning. The majority did not raise cleanliness as a major issue.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, proximity to the beach, local walks, and amenities. It serves as an excellent base for exploring Criccieth and the surrounding areas.
Guests find the conservatory comfortable and the garden pleasant. However, several reviews mention that the sofas and beds could be more comfortable, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are adequate with some concerns over maintenance issues such as heating and appliance instructions. Guests appreciate the secure garden and parking but suggest updates to furniture and clearer information on appliance use.

About this property
Tucked away in the seaside town of Criccieth, Gwynedd, near a beach, is this pretty, detached cottage, Bro Mebyd. Enjoying an enclosed garden and ground-floor living, this pet-friendly property makes a wonderful escape for four friends or a small family. Leave your vehicle in a private parking space before stepping inside to discover the entrance hallway; here you can kick off your shoes ready for exploring the coastline. The open-plan living space is the idyllic place to unwind after an action-packed day, sprawl out on the sofa with a cup of tea, as the TV plays your favourite shows. Step over to the contemporary kitchen area, certain to entice budding chefs with electric oven and hob, as well as a dishwasher for a fuss-free clean; when dinner is served, settle down at the dining table and uncork a bottle of fizz. When the sun is shining, you and your furry friend can bask in the good weather out on the rear lawn or on rainy days curl up in the conservatory and escape into a book. After an adventurous day, enjoy a steamy shower to refresh or indulge in a bubble-bath in the tub in the family bathroom and you can leave your towel on the radiator to keep it warm and fluffy. When eyes grow heavy, two well-presented bedrooms await, choose between a double and a twin bedroom, both with ample storage to unpack your belongings. Awaken with a steaming cup of coffee in the conservatory before joining your guests at the dining table for a hearty breakfast. Just moments away is a rocky beach, where you can take your pooch for a run about and spend an afternoon snorkelling or relaxing. History buffs will be thrilled with a trip up the hill to marvel at the remains of Castell Criccieth, which was destroyed by Welsh Princes and for more attractions, venture into Porthmadog for its Maritime Museum and traditional steam trains. The seaside village of Abersoch is also worth a visit, with its Blue Flag beach, where you can lay back on the golden sand and its high waves for surfing enthusiasts; fuel your excursions at beachfront cafes and watch the world whirl by. For a much-needed break to the stunning Llyn Peninsula, consider Bro Mebyd.
This charming coastal town is about 5 miles from Porthmadog and is often referred to as the "Pearl of Wales on the coasts of Snowdonia." The 13th century castle of Tremadog stands majestically on a rocky cliff, dominating the skyline and providing spectacular views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. Watersports fans will be delighted by the two beaches, while walkers and cyclists will be spoiled for choice by the nearby Snowdonia National Park. Stroll along the beaches, watch porpoises frolic in the surf, or unwind in one of the many taverns, cafés, and tea rooms while sampling the famed Cadwalader's ice cream.

We love it. It's warm comfortable. Lovely conservatory. Great back garden for our dog. The area is beautiful. We hopefully will be back next year.

On the good side it was clean and very spacious for 4 people. We liked the new sofas and the conservatory gave good additional space. On the not so good side, the double bedroom was damp and had mildew all over the wall behind the bed, not good as two of us have asthma. Also in that room one of the bedside lights didnât work. We tried changing the bulb but it still didnât work. The central heating was erratic and tended to be off in the middle of the day and very hot in the middle of the night. We wonder if a previous power outage may have messed with the timer? We do like to cook on holiday and were very disappointed that there were only small pans, nothing large enough to cook for 4 adults. We ended up getting our own pans. There wasnât a large serving spoon or ladle either. The single beds were both pretty uncomfortable. On a minor point we were left only 3 bath towels not 4. Although this is quite a long list of negatives, the location was great and we had a good time.

Plenty of hot water and the heating worked when we wanted it. Its already been noted that the windows are due to be replaced so we understood that and we found the sofas a little uncomfortable. However, the conservatory is a lovely place to sit especially as the property is not overlooked at the back. We also did not receive a welcome pack but were prepared so this was not a big issue for us. We enjoyed our stay, thank you.
