Location was absolutely perfect, ideal to get to the beach and see the castle, especially at night when it is floodlit. Staff great friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Great for visiting other interesting places on the Llyn Peninsula.

Host was helpful in supplying info in advance. Cottage was well placed for visiting the Llyn Peninsula. However, although the cottage was clean, there was an extremely musty smell which hit us as soon as we arrived and proved impossible to clear. It may have been damp. Also, although there was parking, the entrance to the drive way is quite narrow and certainly difficult to access as it is right on a bend in a busy road. As others have reported, the bed in the main bedroom is rather springy and a bit uncomfortable.

criccieth is a very small quiet place and facilities for eating out are very limited, especially if you have not had time to pre book.
All throughout the area some restaurants do not do food on mondays others not on a tuesday. we often had to travel into Porthmadog to eat.
Criccieth is very scenic, there is a lovely spot down by the bay by the castle to try to spot the Dolphins.

Criccieth is a pleasant quiet town with a nice beach and some individual shops, restuarants, hotels and plenty of cafes. It is a very good place to journey out from for the day.
It is easy to walk around and the castle makes a lovely view by the sea.
We ate in the Prince of Wales. Standard pub food, nothing fancy. The scampi and chips was good and the staff friendly. Some interesting old photos in the pub as well as the history of the very old beam you can see in the upstairs dining area.
We had a birthday meal at the Caerwylan hotel. Our later (8pm) booking meant that within half an hour we were the only diners (everyone else had dined earlier). When I booked I emailed that it was a birthday celebration but was told it would depend on how many guests are in the earlier slot! I went ahead with the booking as I didn't want to drive anywhere. The food was nicely presented and the vegetables the best cooked I have eaten out for a long time,. My husband also highly rated the dessert. We were however disappointed with the lamb rump - mine was not that tender and somewhat fatty and some gristle. Little flavour. We have had lamb rump at a very good pub restaurant on Dartmoor and it had good flavour and tender. They also did not have oat milk which has become a common stock item in a lot or hotels, restaurants and cafes. We had to find a member of staff to pay the bill as we had coffee in the bar area and did not see anyone after that. We had to go and find a staff member! So Criccieth lovely but the 4 star rated hotel not brilliant.
We can recommend The Goat - recently refurbished - a lovely pub about 3 miles from Criccieth and apparently there is another one further up the coast near Nefyn which we will visit on our next stay.

While Criccieth isn't large, being based there gives you access to explore the whole of North Wales and make some excellent walking excursions in Snowdonia. Criccieth has an excellent beach and is a short drive from many other wonderful beaches. The castle is also a nice place to stop if you have a couple hours to spare.

The iris is a fantastic property .
The iris is a fantastic property . The views are absolutely amazing. Its next to the beach. Above the Cadwaladers and across from the fish and chip shop. What more could you want 😂 Parking is plentiful.
If you get the opportunity take a drive to Black Rock sands which you can drive on. The sunset from there is fantastic.
Everything was great! The the room we had was comfy and cosy. The breakfast first class. Mark and Louise put everything into making our stay as warm and cosy as can be. As for the location, Criccieth has the air of a quiet old world fishing village, but has a small but imposing castle on top of a nearby hill. The nearby railway line provides easy access to a whole range of destinations, and if you enjoy a good walk, you will not be disappointed. Awel Mor is the ideal place to stay.
Location just what we expected - overlooking the sea with Criccieth castle very nearby, and a healthy amount of on road parking (out of high season at least). The accommodation was furnished and decorated to a high standard, and the basic fridge and cutlery / crockery provision assisted with takeaway meals brought back to the room. The basic tea, coffee, hot chocolate and porridge provision was appreciated. All information we needed was provided before we arrived.
The Hotel was lovely. Surprised the bathroom was so basic nothing in it. One toilet roll. Nothing in the room no information about the town or hotel facilities, , No allowance on the time for food. A group was booked in and we HAD to have dinner at 18.00, when they were, Why could we not have dinner 18.30 or 19.00 when they were having their main course,.?? So we had dinner at 18.45 up the town, Breakfast was cold but staff we very pleasant.
The location of the property made it quiet and a perfect place to relax. However if we needed anything Criccieth and Porthmadog were close by. Our dog loved the garden and as it was fully enclosed we could let her run around freely. Everything we could need was available at the cottage and we could see that previous feedback from other holidaymakers had been acted on, which had made improvements to the cottage and the garden.
Mark and Louise infused our stay with care and quality... our room was spotless with e erything we needed for our short stay in Criccieth. The breakfast was excellent, top quality ingredients and presented with real hospitality... White linen, wonderful service and thoughtful extras like handwrapped and home made cake to help ourselves to as we left for the day... thank you both! We look forward to returning.
Lovely clean and fresh accommodation.
Tina & Andy made are stay very comfortable, nothing was too much trouble. Hearty, delicious breakfast and night time bar if needing a night cap.
Set in the lovely Criccieth village, nice eatery’s, sun and sea and even a train nearby.
Oh and a castle ruin!
Lots to do around the area, Lama trekking, Black-rock Lamas, train rides from Porthmadog and so much more!!
Great location in the centre of Criccieth, the hotel staff were really friendly, breakfast was good on Sunday and Monday morning but it must be a different chef on a Saturday as it was very dry. The reception area and bar are clean, and the hotel had a good selection of drinks. The young guy in the bar on Friday night was really pleasant and helpful.
Room nice and clean and comfy bed. Enjoyed breakfast every morning. Guest house was good base to explore area and Criccieth was not far to walk to maybe 5 minutes. We enjoyed the Prince of Wales Pub and the curry restaurant. Plenty of places to eat. Hosts were informative on where to visit which helped us decide what to do on our stay.
The friendliness of the staff, the breakfast, the cleanliness of the room - all of these were excellent. They also have a lounge if you want to spend your evening playing cards/board games. It is located on the edge of Criccieth but only 15/20 minutes walk from the castle and lots of restaurants or the beaches.
it was a fantastic hotel, the rooms were very clean,well maintained, our room had a sea view with 2 comfy arm chairs to sit in & enjoy the view.
the fresh cooked breakfast was excellent as was the buffet selection.
The owners were warm & welcoming we will be visiting again.
overhaul an iamazing couple of days.
Amazing location, panoramic view of the mountains and sea. Spotless accommodation, beautifully kept gardens, easy to walk into Criccieth for shops and food etc. Best bit was sitting on the veranda watching the sun go down with the sea lapping at the shore.
The room was lovely, comfy beds, lovely location and incredibly clean. The hosts were so so lovely and nothing was a bother. The breakfast was also so yummy. We will definitely be staying again if we find ourselves in Wales again soon!
The rooms were nice and big, I loved the bed, it was so comfy. Beautiful views, the restaurant made an amazing breakfast, so tasty! The rooms were spotless, so clean! The hotel was right across the beach
This was a beautiful bed and breakfast the owners was very attentive and friendly, we had a large room and was very clean, breakfast was excellent. Was near the shops and just a 5 min walk to the beach .
Great hosts, we were made to feel very welcome. Spacious, clean room and comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast. Great location near Criccieth Castle and also on the Welsh Coastal path for walking.
Sunny private garden, ideal for barbecue.
Comfortable living area, bedroom and bathroom, generally well-equipped
Washing machine
Near to Criccieth and other places in Lleyn peninsula.
Lovely hotel location about a 20 minute walk into central Criccieth. Interior decor was nice, and staff very friendly. Food in the evening was very nice - congrats to the chef.
