"We’ve stayed in over 20 Menai cottages and Stabal Bach was the warmest and most comfortable one."
We felt really at home there. The owner called and asked if everything was okay and did we need anything. That’s the first time this has happened and it was great that the owner cared enough about our comfort. The only thing that bothered us was the step into the property and the step out onto the balcony. I’m very mobile and still found it difficult to manoeuvre up and down. These steps need to made safer as soon as possible please.
Thank you for the feed back,glad that you enjoyed yourself. Regarding the steps they are within the guidelines supplied by planning. Property Owner

"We had a great week at Stabal Bach."
Lovely peaceful location, well equipped and warm with comfortable beds and great shower (so important!) and suitable for 4 adults. Good base for visiting the peninsula and Eryri national park. Short walk into town - great roast dinner at the Prince of Wales. We were lucky with the weather - for October- so could explore the fantastic beaches nearby. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back.
Thank you for the lovely feedback. Glad that you enjoyed yourself. Welcome back any time. Property Owner

"Only one criticism."
If you are elderly beware the staircase .It is very steep.

"Comfortable and has all the necessities required for a holiday."
Though on a working farm was quiet and peaceful. The walk to Criccieth was ~10-15mins. There are a couple of friendly pubs and restaurants. Particularly enjoyed the tapas at Bwyty 51. Dylan’s on the beach was very good, though a little pricey. A great base to explore the area, after the walks on the beach, along the coast and the castle.
Glad that you enjoyed your stay and had good weather all week Property Owner

"The property was very clean and comfortable, also quiet and relaxing."
It was well maintained and equipped, with a nice outdoor area. It is a very good base for exploring the surrounding area and only a short walk into Criccieth. The property was lovely, we had an excellent stay and would gladly return.

"A really lovely clean & comfortable house in a quiet but convenient spot with friendly neighbours!"
Great to be able to speak in Welsh and for information to be provided in Welsh too, much appreciated. We loved the sheltered sunny balcony and fabulous shower especially! The only things that could make it even better would be a couple of hand towels, for kitchen & bathroom, a full length mirror and an extra lamp in the living room. Diolch am wyliau hyfryd!

"We've just had a week at Stabal Bach, and it was excellent, one of the best cottages we've stayed in,very clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our week."
The cottage is in a quiet location, close to the owner's farm with plenty of parking, the owner spoke to us a couple of times to check everything was OK, very nice and friendly but not intrusive. The location means the cottage is well placed for visiting a number of the attractions in north Wales. We visited the Welsh Highland Railway, Caernarfon, Portmeirion, Penrhyn Castle, Plas Newydd and Llanberis National Slate Mining Museum, which are all within an easy drive. Criccieth is only about 1.5 miles away with a few pubs and take-aways and Porthmadog is about a 15 minute drive away. We also visited Pwllheli one evening where there are also lots of pubs, restaurants etc if you prefer to eat out. This is a cottage which I'd have no hesitation to recommend and would definitely book again if we're visiting this area.
Thank you for the lovely comment. Glad that you had a good time. Property Owner

"Beautiful and well equipped upside down holiday cottage."
The balcony makes the most of its view out towards the Bay and was a peaceful spot to relax to watch the sun come up, go down or at any other time of day. Close to Criccieth for some local shops and not far from either Porthmadog or Pwellhi for a supermarket. Lots to see and do within a short drive, so a good location for exploring the area. We had a lovely relaxing week at this little cottage.

"Just brilliant."
Very well appointed, everything we needed and all of a high standard. The cottage was warm and cosy, very important in December! The welcome package was the best we've ever had in any holiday package. We only had 3 days here but we'll be back as there is so much more to see.
Glad that you enjoyed youselves.Thank you for the lovely comment. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"Fantastic holiday all round."
Stabal Bach is a lovely place to stay couldn't fault it for cleanliness and everything you need for a comfortable holiday. Loved the balcony. Easy walk into Cricceth. One thing a chest of drawers in twin room would make it perfect, an observation NOT a complaint. We'll be back.
Glad that you enjoyed your stay. Thanks for the comment Property Owner

"Our stay at Stabal Bach was excellent."
Lovely location, peaceful setting. Spotlessly clean and well equipped The only thing missing was a towel rail in the bathroom. Good power in the shower. So good to park right outside and not have to worry about finding a parking space. Having a balcony off the kitchen was great for breakfast or sunny evenings if you are lucky enough to get sun in Wales.
Glad you enjoyed your holidays.Thank you for the comments. Property Owner

The property
Tucked away on the quiet, leafy outskirts of Criccieth, a quaint, coastal town in Gwynedd, North Wales, lies this charming, two-bedroom, stable conversion, Stabal Bach.
Boasting off-road parking for two cars, an enclosed, furnished garden, and superb views of surrounding, tranquil woodland, this delightful property welcomes a family of four or a group of sharing friends for a relaxing, self-catered stay near the magnificent setting of the Eryri National Park.
Park up, unpack, and make yourself fully at home in your lovely new lodgings, where you’ll find a well-presented, open-plan living space on the first-floor of the home, housing a fully-equipped kitchen where the chosen chef can find all the appliances they’ll need to prepare a delicious, home-cooked dinner.
Savour your feasts in the dining area, or even alfresco in the garden on the outdoor furniture, before you head to relax and unwind on the sofa in the sitting area as you enjoy a film on the Smart TV by the warmth of the electric fire.
As day rolls into night, be sure to refresh with a rejuvenating shower before you finally settle down for a much-needed rest in one of the two inviting, ground-floor bedrooms.
In the morning, make a cup of coffee and head out to the balcony, where you can soak in your panoramic setting as you listen to the birds sing amongst the shrubbery.
When you’re ready, slip on your shoes and head out to explore what your local area has to offer.
A walk into Criccieth will bring you to the SPAR and NISA convenience stores, where you can stock up on homely essentials, whilst a traditional pub lunch to fuel your adventures can be had at the Bryn Hir Arms and the Prince Of Wales.
Whilst you’re in town, grab an ice cream from the famous Cadwaladers before you enjoy a peaceful stroll along the Criccieth Esplanade and Criccieth Beach, and even experience a taste of history at the ancient setting of Criccieth Castle.
If you’re still peckish, stop by the Castle Fish & Chip Shop on your way back to your lovely lodgings.
Whatever you do during your next stay in Criccieth, do it from the fabulous base of Stabal Bach.
