Ruth August 2024

“As a single traveler this was the perfect accommodation.”

The apartment has everything you need. I am pretty critical about beds but this one was perfect and slept well!

- Ruth, August 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback - very much appreciated. Glad you had a great stay! xxx Property Owner
Diane July 2024

“For a small studio flat we had everything we needed.”

There was plenty of room for two. The location was quiet, though, sadly, no sea views; but conveniently situated for the seafront and good walks. The shower was good and the bed comfortable. The extractor fan and light in the bathroom ran on for quite a long time after it was in use, which was irritating at night especially. But overall we were very happy with the accommodation, and would certainly recommend it.

Irene May 2024

Derek September 2022

“We very much liked the property, near the sea which was nice to see out of the window.”

We will be booking again in the future, the owner was good to ring when we had got there.

- Derek, September 2022
Ann July 2022

“The property was an ideal base for us with easy access to explore.”

It was clean and well equipped. The only issue was the pull cord to the shower was to high looked like it had snapped and unfortunately only my husband could switch it on and off. Apart from this we had a perfect time.

- Ann, July 2022

“The apartment had everything that an individual or a couple would need at an excellent price.”

The kitchen and bathroom we're both very good, the location was convinient and the bed was amazingly comfortable. For £36 a night, I would definitely come again.

Diane September 2021

- Tracey, July 2021
Spencer May 2021

“Too many things wrong: Bed.”

Like sleeping on currugation. Sink water. Hot for an inch then cool. Used kettle. Shower. Feeble. TV-terrible. No 'normal' freeview so had to try to use Amazon Fire; but most apps not set up. Had to use my own TV licence to get BBC sounds. Transferring from say BBC1 to ITV1 took minutes and had to endure the ITV Hub adverts every time. Gave up trying to get Drama etc stations. ITV is only London so no local weather. Had to reset BBC1 myself to get local rather than London for the local weather. Very well equipped kitchen. Convenient for bus and train that I have to use. Could be good, but isn't.

- Spencer, May 2021
Sarah August 2020

“Nice comfortable accommodation.”

- Sarah, August 2020
Jacobus August 2020

“The Location is close to the beach 50 meters on street parking but had no problems.”

The kitchen is well equipped with all essentials. Bathroom very nice and clean. As the whole apartment was!

- Jacobus, August 2020
C December 2019

“Beautiful accommodation in a lovely area of North Wales.”

Would recommend staying here

- C, December 2019
Edward September 2019

“The apartment is clean and modern with all the facilities one would need for a holiday, and its position in a cul-de sac means there is no traffic noise.”

The only gripes I would have are personal and nothing to do with the accommodation and they are, the bed was a bit too low for my disabled wife to get out of without assistance, and the Freeview TV only had 12 channels, and a lot of the missing channels we watch.

- Edward, September 2019
Beverley August 2019

“Nice quiet part of Criccieth, perfect apartment for two.”

Very central to places highly recommend the petrol station on the the high street, good selection of fresh food. Also recommend Dylan’s restaurant and Blue China do the best breakfast ever. Very close to rocky beach with good walks.

- Beverley, August 2019
Jack June 2019

“Right from the start this process was informed, easy and pleasant.”

The Sykes call adviser was really helpful and informed. The information received from the owner was really helpful and again informed. Having a coded key box outside the property made this experience all the better and less pressured for arriving. The property was really nice, fairly priced and very cosy. Made my holiday experience all the better and it really did feel like home from home. I will certainly check out Sykes again when planning my next adventure. Thanks to all involved.

- Jack, June 2019
Julia April 2019

“The location of the apartment was excellent, just a stones through from the seafront.”

Separate kitchen a bonus for a studio flat. Some hand soap in the bathroom would be a nice touch

- Julia, April 2019
Lynn March 2019

“2ND TIME IN THIS LOVELY APARTMENT, GREAT WEATHER COMPLIMENTED THE WEEK,”

- Lynn, March 2019
James March 2019

“We had a lovely relaxing week lovely place to visit and a nice clean apartment ...”

We had a lovely relaxing week lovely place to visit and a nice clean apartment to chill out in (down side it rained all week)

- James, March 2019
Lynn September 2018

“Beautiful apartment just round the corner from the beach, really enjoyed my stay there, would definitely recommend”

- Lynn, September 2018
Janet August 2018

Met expectations but wouldn't go back to that particular apartment and would stay in Porthmadog rather than Criccieth in the future

- Janet, August 2018
Ingrid August 2018

“The accommodation couldn't be faulted.”

As an older couple though we found the parking situation difficult, as we took our car out every day we couldn't always park very near the apartment. Even though the apartment was ground floor this could make for real difficulties for someone who is disabled, or not very good on their feet.

- Ingrid, August 2018
Tracy June 2018

“We loved our holiday and your apartment.”

It was very nicely styled and our first impression was excellent. Everything we wanted was in the apartment. We were blessed with Mediterranean weather so used the apartment as a sleeping base, and if the weather was very poor maybe a single room as living, eating and sleeping might have been challenging. However the size of the apartment was clearly advertised so absolutely no complaints. We would recommend your apartment without hesitation and hope to book it ourselves again. It is 25C and sunny all the time in Criccieth right?

- Tracy, June 2018
Pam August 2016

“The holiday was made extra special by little touches included in the accommodation,”

- Pam, August 2016
Stephen August 2016

“The general atmosphere of the seaside, swimming, the location of the apartment and how lovely and well kept the apartment was as well.”

overall a very good holiday and will book another with Sykes at some point.

- Stephen, August 2016
Sara June 2016

“The apartment was great and we particularly liked the fact it was so close to the sea and all the amenities, and that it had wi-fi.”

Criccieth is a lovely town with some really good places to eat and it's very quiet if you're looking for a peaceful holiday.

- Sara, June 2016
Karen June 2016

“Y Castell Apartment 1 is lovely, clean and spacious.”

Less than a minute to the beach, Perfect!!!

- Karen, June 2016
James April 2016

“The accommodation was lovely.”

Everything was immaculate and just as described when booking our stay online. It's a stones throw away from the beach. Amazing views and lovely walks around the Castle. A two minute drive to a few of the nice restaurants in the area including the famous Cadwaladers ice cream shop. Easy access to main roads if you want to travel further for sight seeing. We had an amazing time, communication was perfect with the owners, the room was perfect and all we can say is thank you so much! We will return.

- James, April 2016
