Guests say
Min Y Traeth is a well-received holiday cottage praised for its cleanliness, prime location near the seaside, and comfortable amenities. Guests appreciate the modern kitchen, spacious rooms, and the thoughtful welcome gifts. While some noted the garden's lack of fencing and the need for minor maintenance, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many looking forward to returning.
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous guests describing it as spotless and very clean. There was a single mention of the oven causing smoke alarms to go off due to needing a clean, but this appears to be an isolated incident.
The location is highly praised for being close to the beach and local amenities, with stunning views of the castle and bay. Its convenience as a base for exploring the surrounding areas is frequently mentioned.
Guests find the house comfortable, with special mentions of the bed comfort and the cool temperature maintained during a heatwave. However, a few guests noted the single beds were too firm and the garden's lack of fencing made it less comfortable for pet owners.
The property is well-equipped with modern appliances and facilities, though some guests suggested improvements such as additional cooking trays and upgrading certain areas. The lack of an enclosed garden was also noted.
Many guests were delighted by the welcome gifts, which included locally baked cake and other treats. While these gifts are warmly mentioned, it is important to note that such gestures, while appreciated, may not be a consistent offering for all stays.

A fantastic, modern, detached Criccieth cottage on a cul-de-sac in the centre of the town, with views to the beach and sea from the front of the property, and of Criccieth Castle to the side. This Criccieth cottage has been tastefully furnished and offers spacious accommodation, while outside, open lawned gardens and a patio area are ideal for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine while the children play. Criccieth has two superb beaches, one within 100 metres of this Criccieth cottage, which is perfect for swimming, watersports and rock-pooling, and if you are lucky, you may spot one of the visiting dolphins who enjoy the warm gulf stream that flows along this beautiful coast. Situated on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park, Criccieth is a delightful town with an array of shops, pubs and restaurants on your doorstep, as well as Criccieth Castle which was built in the 13th century and dominates the landscape on its rocky perch at one end of the town.

Very clean and tidy with all the facilities you could need for a comfortable stay. Would certainly look to return in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending the property.

The only complaint or observation is there is very limited cooking trays for oven. The house is clean and comfortable. Would visit again.

The facilities were of a higher spec than I expected from the photos, the oven and and the hob in particular. The sea view from two of the bedrooms was a bonus. The location was quiet and great being a few minutes walk to the sea.vWe had a lovely stay and would recommend the property to friends.
