Guests say
Cefn Bryn Bach is a well-received cottage in Criccieth, praised for its great location, warm and cosy atmosphere, and suitability for dogs. Guests appreciate the proximity to local amenities and the beach, as well as the property's modern kitchen and bathroom. While some guests mention minor comfort and maintenance issues, the overall sentiment is positive, with many looking to return.
The property generally appears to be clean, with several guests commenting on its tidiness. However, there are a few mentions of areas that could have been cleaner, such as under the sofa and behind doors, as well as some instances of leftover items from previous guests. These occasional oversights slightly affect the overall cleanliness score.
The location is highly praised for its convenience, with easy access to the town, beach, and local attractions. The presence of a nearby pub, car park, and railway line is noted, but most guests do not find these to be significant issues. The central location for exploring the area is a strong positive factor.
Guests find the property warm and cosy, with a spacious layout and secure outdoor space. However, there are comments about uncomfortable mattresses and sofas, and some guests suggest the need for more or better-quality furnishings to enhance comfort.
The property is equipped with modern facilities, but guests have pointed out a lack of certain items such as cleaning products, toilet rolls, and kitchen utensils. The absence of a dishwasher and issues with the door lock are also noted. These maintenance aspects have led to a moderate score in this category.
While some guests mention a welcome pack with tea, sugar, milk, and Welsh cakes, others note the absence of such amenities. As the provision of gifts is not consistently referenced, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness, and it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.

Secure garden for the dog was a plus. A bit more crockery would have been helpful, and maybe cleaning products on hand for the bathroom and kitchen.small details. Overall a great stay thank you.

Comfortable beds, although the sofas were slippery due to leather. Facilities were spot on. Very good enclosed garden/patio. Plenty walks around Cricceith. I certainly will be returning to this cottage when I need a holiday in Wales with my dog.
