“Beautiful quirky little apartment in a lovely village.”

Everything was perfect

Rick July 2024

“Dinlle is a lovely and striking apartment.”

There were a couple of very minor issues. A chest of drawers rather than a vanity unit would be handy in the bedroom. A brighter bulb in the bathroom would make shaving easier. The cutlery seemed huge! The teaspoons were like dessert spoons, and, they in turn were more like tablespoons. We've never gone through coffee so quick. That said, the mugs were big so you needed that much for a decent cup. If we were planning on visiting Criccieth again, we would definitely book again. The weather was perfect too. Thank you for a lovely week. Kind regards Rick

“Lovely holiday accommodation very convenient for everything .”

Annette June 2024

“Lovely place to stay.”

The beach & sea were just across the road, plenty to do and see nearby. Lovely and quiet apartment, perfect for 2 people. Beautiful inside and very clean. Would definitely recommend.

- Annette, June 2024
Barry April 2024

“Nice apartment, bedroom a bit awkward due to church pillars being in the way.”

I read the reviews on the website about the slippy bath, so I took my own. No bath mat provided.There are many comments in the guest book about no mat so the owner doesn't intend providing one.

- Barry, April 2024

Thank you for your feedback Barry. Most of the guests that stay in Dinlle find the pillar a delightful character feature. It’s unfortunate to hear you found it got in your way but it isn’t something we are able to move. Regarding the bath mat, as you have stated from your research & previous reviews, there has previously been a bath mat that guests have found slippery. This has been removed & a replacement purchased. Property Owner

“Stunning property with the wow factor, love all the period features.”

It was very comfortable with everything you need and to a high standard, but also spotlessly clean. The essential items left in the property were a nice touch and much appreciated. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. Only downside was the bath plug did not work and caution had to be given getting in and out of the bath. Lighting was also very dark in the bathroom. Might be worth asking people when they stay to air the bathroom after use as it can become quite wet with condensation. The smell of the air fresheners used were over powering. The reed defuser was empty and would have looked and smelt so much nicer.

“A great little one bedroom right at one end of high street.”

Clean, well maintained and comfortable. Has everything you need. I visited in Nov so many restaurants were closed and it is a bit tough heating up the rooms in those cold stone walls. But that was the fault of my timing, not the property.

- Toni, November 2023
Keith September 2023

“Dinlle is a really quiet, comfortable and well equipped apartment.”

For a weeks stay, more bedroom storage would have been useful, e.g. a set of drawers. We are mobile but had to be careful getting in/ out of the bath. A grab handle would be helpful and the rubber nonslip mat needs replacing as it wouldn’t stick. We had an excellent week, the weather was perfect and Dinlle was the ideal location for exploring the whole area around Criccieth.

- Keith, September 2023
Phillip July 2023

“A lovely clean property equipped with all we needed for a relaxing time, the sofa and chair were comfortable as was the bed.”

Two downsides however. The blinds on the skylights are fiddly to close and the bedroom blind in particular doesn't quit close all the way. This lets in an annoying slither of light early in the morning. The other issue is the shower mat supplied. It's lethal, we didn't use it because it doesn't stick to the bottom of the bath and is extremely slippery.

- Phillip, July 2023
Penelope July 2023

“The property was extremely clean and provided everything it said it would.”

The milk and cake along with teabags and sugar were a thoughtful gesture when one had been traveling. A note was left regarding the bedding. Sadly no grab bar in the bath so not safe for people with poor mobility to get in the bath to take a shower.

- Penelope, July 2023
Elaine July 2023

“Dinlle is a lovely appartment,spotlessly clean with everything you could need for a comfortable break away.”

In a good position near to beach and local amenities.

Emily March 2023

“Property was clean, tidy and bright.”

It was comfortable and had pretty much everything we needed (could have done with some wine/ pint glasses) and just across the road from the beach. We ate at Dylans and had takeout from the Chinese both of which were delicious, couldn't try the chippy tho as it was still closed when we were there, maybe next time tho.

- Emily, March 2023
Pauline March 2023

“Lovely accommodation, centrally situated for eateries in Criccieth.”

Good private off road parking

- Pauline, March 2023
Ben January 2023

“Property is absolutely stunning and unique.”

Our only niggle was the difficulty in getting hot water from the taps, even with help from the welcome pack.

- Ben, January 2023
Linda and Paul December 2022

“Lovely apartment, quality fittings, except the electric shower has a very weak flow so not a great shower experience.”

Need a large size cafetière! Need a better sign and directions for the actual driveway to property. It would help to have a small reflector on driveway entrance. In directions would help to give name of overall property (Ty Criccieth).

- Linda and Paul, December 2022
Amanda December 2022

“We had a lovely stay.”

The apartment had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. The location was also excellent being close to shops and just across the road from the beach.

- Amanda, December 2022
Ian July 2022

“Great stay on a lovely apartment.”

- Ian, July 2022
Richard July 2022

“The flat was spotless!”

We would definitely return.

- Richard, July 2022
Andrew July 2022

“Fabulous property, well positioned for train, beach, pubs and restaurants and to explore all the beautiful places in the area.”

Left a day early to avoid the very early leaving time of 9.00 a.m. understand the property needs cleaning but getting up so early on last day of holiday was unacceptable to us.

- Andrew, July 2022
Kay May 2022

“The apartment was exceptionally tidy and clean.”

Loved the quirkiness of the apartment as it had previously been a church. It had everything that was needed for a 4 night stay. WIFI was excellent. The location was excellent. Easy to reach many attractions in the area. Criccieth even had its own railway station which we didn't use as the places we visited needed a car to get to and a castle with amazing views.It was a nice touch having milk and a cake on arrival the cake was delicious. Wish I new where it was from. The only niggle was that we could only pull the skylight blind down half way as it was stiff. It does say they like us to wake up to natural light, but we like a dark bedroom and not to be woken up at 4.30 in the morning as it's getting light. Especially when you are on holiday. Will certainly go back to Criccieth in the near future and next time visit the castle and use the train.

- Kay, May 2022
Ian May 2022

“What an absolute joy it was to stay at this property - perfect for the two of us.”

Cleanliness was excellent, facilities were more than we needed and the location was even better than we expected. Some really nice personal touches, and it was a very unique experience - I never thought I'd be negotiating a church column in my bedroom! Will definitely be booking again.

- Ian, May 2022
Armelle January 2022

“Heating on arrival took a little while to figure it out and to warm the flat, it was so cold on arrival.”

Noisy plumbing, we found it funny but not sure if the neighbors did. Nice touch with the complementary cake, delicious, thank you.

- Armelle, January 2022
Michelle September 2021

“We had a great stay.”

The apartment met all the expectations that we wanted out of an apartment. Ideal location for touring round North wales.

- Michelle, September 2021
Geoffrey August 2021

“Exactly as advertised.”

Good parking. Property on the main through the town and sea front and coastal path minutes away. Everything you need both in the appartment and in the town. Conveniently situated for so many attractions. Would definitely recommend.

- Geoffrey, August 2021
Colin July 2021

“A nice clean apartment close to the centre of Criccieth.”

- Colin, July 2021
Debbie July 2021

“The whole apartment was immaculate.”

The only issue we had was the bed. Seemed very small for a double!

- Debbie, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback, the owner has addressed the issue with the bed. Property Owner
Susan June 2021

“Our only problem and this is personal my husband found bed a little small as he 6’2”.”

Think it was a small double with a foot board. But a lovely property

- Susan, June 2021
Susan June 2021

“Excellent property in a lovely part of Wales.”

had everything u need very clean on arrival and comfortable. our only problem was bed as think was small double and my husband 6’2” just had to fold him up a bit. great base for touring round did many miles on foot and by car. We would say seemed very short on places to eat in evening. But all in all a lovely holiday

- Susan, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback, the owner has addressed the issue with the bed. Property Owner

“Not really our third Sykes trip in 18 months and we enjoyed it .”

Lovely area and nice people

- Robert, May 2021
Stuart May 2021

“The apartment is well situated for access to Criccieth beach and the village.”

It was very quiet and comfortable, and adequately met our needs, although a microwave would have been useful. The toilet seat needs to be adjusted as it moves about when you sit on it and the television remote needs new batteries.

- Stuart, May 2021
Peter April 2021

“First, I had not realized that it was an apartment with no external ...”

First, I had not realized that it was an apartment with no external access Next, it was too small - the bedroom could not accommodate a king bed, the bathroom was minuscule, there was no table The duvet was insufferably hot Incredibly, there was no microwave

- Peter, April 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with the facilities and amenities during your recent stay. However, the items you mentioned are all noted in the property description or visible in the photographs, and we are confident that the apartment is as advertised on the website. I'm sure you will appreciate that things, like the size of the bathroom, or the access cannot be altered, and are again, quite apparent in the images on Dinlle's web page. Property Owner

“Could just do with a bigger bed,we are both skinny but the bed was too small even for us.”

Apart from this everything was perfect

The property

Boasting a host of characterful features thanks to its unique location within a converted church, this ground-floor apartment makes a wonderful bolthole for two in Criccieth.

Dinlle rests in the centre of this North Wales town, located on the beautiful Llyn Peninsula, and offers a spot close to shops, pubs and local attractions.

Once you've found your way into the apartment from the main entrance, step inside and enjoy the fabulous church architecture in the open-plan living room, with dramatic stone ceiling supports and quaint arched windows adding extra charm and providing a perfect spot to relax when you're not out exploring.

Find a snug spot on the sofa with your loved one while watching the TV in the stylish sitting area, before sitting side by side at the dining bar to enjoy a delicious meal.

The fitted kitchen comes complete with all you need for a self-catered stay, including a fridge/freezer and an electric oven and hob, as well as, a handy washing machine for longer stays.

After an exciting day, freshen up in the neat bathroom, with its bath and shower, before retiring to the elegant double bedroom, where the original features continue, such as, the large stone pillar support and vaulted ceilings, with plenty of hanging space for your things.

When you want to begin exploring the pretty town of Criccieth, simply head out on foot to find all you need within walking distance.

Enjoy walks along both of the delightful beaches with their mix of shingle and sand and popular on sunny days for swimming or watersports.

Visit the imposing 13th Criccieth Castle, which overlooks the beach from the rocky headland it sits on top of, to enjoy the amazing views of the bay and beyond.

The town of Porthmadog is not far and has plenty to offer in the form of attractions, with its vintage Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways, allowing you to enjoy a relaxing trip along miles of narrow gauge tracks through the countryside, before returning to Porthmadog to find a quaint tea room or café for a refreshing brew.

Another popular place is the tourist village of Portmeirion, an enchanting Italianate village offering a wonderful day out, with beautiful architecture and design around every corner and boasting a real Mediterranean feel.

Venture into the Snowdonia National Park and take on the challenge of walking up Snowdon, with its incredible visitor centre at the top.

It's well worth it for the breath-taking views and scenery.

Dinlle is the perfect dwelling to enjoy a romantic trip to Wales.
