Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently describe the property as immaculately clean and very tidy, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the apartment.

The property is appreciated for its proximity to the seafront and its sea views, as well as the convenience of being within walking distance to shops, making the location highly desirable.

The comfort of The Nook is frequently mentioned, with positive remarks about the super king bed and the cosy atmosphere. However, one guest noted an allergic reaction to feather fillings, slightly impacting the score.

Facilities are generally well-received, with modern kitchen appliances and cleanliness highlighted. Some guests encountered minor issues with the shower and entrance door, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance.

While guests mention thoughtful gestures such as a jar of gravy bones for dogs and a comprehensive instruction manual for appliances, there is no consistent reference to gifts across reviews to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such thoughtful touches, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

About this property

Centrally-located in the lovely seaside town of Criccieth, is this splendid newly refurbished ground-floor apartment, The Nook. Benefitting from pet-friendly living, close proximity to the local amenities and a beach and sea views, The Nook is a fabulous abode for a couples getaway in North Wales. After unloading your belongings in the private parking spot, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home, ready to kick back and relax in the homely sitting room, complete with Smart TV and electric flame-effect stove, perfect for those cooler evenings. Allow your other half to become acquainted with a great range of high-quality appliances in the kitchen as they whip up a feast to be enjoyed of a cold glass of wine. As the evening draws to a close, escape to the sleek shower room to treat yourself to a warm shower, prior to completing your evening routine and climbing into a plush double bed, ready for another day of exciting adventures. In the morning, kickstart your itinerary along the coast at Marine or Criccieth West Beach, a lovely spot to bask in the sun’s rays, paddle the shores or delight in traditional fish and chips. From here, you can also explore Criccieth Castle or take advantage of a great variety of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and cafes to stock up on the self-catering essentials or treat your partner to a hearty pub lunch and refreshing beverage. Venturing into the Snowdonia National Park, uncover a whole host of hidden treasures, including Black Rock Sands , see your surroundings from a great height at Zip World Llechwedd or challenge yourself to an arduous hike up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) or take a trip on the Welsh Highland Railway. Well-positioned to also spend the day in Pwllheli, Abersoch or Barmouth, The Nook is a charming base for your next escape to North Wales.

This charming beach town, sometimes referred to as the "Pearl of Wales on the coasts of Snowdonia," is located only 5 miles from Porthmadog. The town's castle, which dates back to the 13th century, towers over the surrounding landscape, dominating the skyline and providing spectacular views of Tremadog Bay and the Snowdonia mountains. The two beaches will be a delight for anyone who enjoy water sports, and the close proximity to the stunning Snowdonia National Park will leave hikers and bikers with plenty of options. Take a leisurely stroll along the beaches, observe porpoises playing in the surf, or unwind in one of the many taverns, restaurants, or tea rooms while enjoying some of the renowned Cadwalader's ice cream. Other nearby attractions include the gorgeous Italianate gardens at Portmeirion, the Ffestiniog railway in Porthmadog, Harlech Castle, Caernarfon Castle, and the Llyn Peninsula's world-class beaches and golf facilities.

    We had a very enjoyable stay.

  • Robert

    The only issue we had was with the shower. The shower tray is not sufficient to catch all the splashing and it left the floor puddled. Obviously it was easy enough to wipe up but a longer shower tray would be more beneficial. We would love to stay at the Nook again in the future.

    In a great spot with the sea at your door. Didn’t need to take anything with us. The property had everything you could think of. Loads of plugs great hairdryer. Loved the Ninja air fryer. Sat drinking wine on the little Terrace overlooking the sea what more could you want.Took our 2 Jack Russells who also loved it. Highly recommended. A tasteful renovation to a high standard. Super king bed. I could go on and on. Book the Nook you won’t be disappointed
