The two beaches are perfect for water sports, and the nearby Snowdonia National Park offers a wealth of opportunities for hikers and cyclists.

! The house was spacious, light, had great views down to the sea and was well maintained and looked after. The teens LOVED the hot tub. Criccieth was a great village with lots more facilities than we thought and it didn't feel like there were lots of tourists there. Dave came to check the hot tub every day and was very friendly and helpful.

Added touches to assist with our dog (extra water bowls, towels etc). Sadly we booked as a group of six but unfortunately our friends developed COVID so we're unable to join us however the rest of us had an amazing stay.
