"The house was lovely as it was last time."
The views were fantastic. Lovely and warm. Were allowed to check in early and check out late, which really made our weekend so much more relaxing. Thank you.
-
"Thank you to the owners for a handy welcome pack of milk and cakes, which were perfect while we waited for our shopping delivery."
(Some tea and various spices in kitchen too) A beautiful, comfortable house with plenty of space for our party of 10 on our annual "soup holiday" together. Lots to do in the area and great views. We really enjoyed our meal at No 51, otherwise mostly home cooking. NB the Aga takes a bit of getting used to, apart from a microwave, electric kettle and toaster there is no other means of cooking.

"We loved staying at 11 Marine Terrace - the house was perfect for a large group- really spacious - we enjoyed the large comfortable, sitting rooms."
We all slept well listening to the sea. We didn’t have great weather all the time but when we were stuck in we loved looking out at the sea views from the sitting rooms. We even mastered the Aga - worked well for lots of vegetarians- roasting vegetables perfectly ! Criccieth is a great town with lots of great antique shops and cafes - we ate as a big group at Bwyty 51 which had really good food. Thanks!

"Lovely family home right on the beach!"
Lots of bedroom combinations to suit family! Warm welcoming kitchen with an AGA cooker! Lots of bathrooms too! Ideal position to explore the beautiful Llyn penisula, lovely coastal walks & sandy beaches! Can’t recommend it enough, fabulous!

"We all loved this property."
We had a great family get together with plenty of room for all the toys and noise that goes along with kids. The cleanliness, decor and comfort levels were great too. It was across the road from the beach which was perfect. The village was also really cute.
-
"Lovely house we had a very enjoyable stay."
Just a few little things fire light not working the remote in lounge doesn’t work properly and the tap in kitchen needs attention. Otherwise fabulous
-
"A really great property - lots of home comforts, perfect for our large group."
Even better than the pictures in the listing!!
-
"Very good in general couple of things - taps and front door lock need fixing - but a very enjoyable stay."
Lovely house, lovely location.
-
"We had a wonderful stay in this delightful property."
The views are stunning. The location is perfect as we were able to walk to all local amenities. There was loads of space for everyone and we enjoyed some lovely family meals in the fabulous kitchen.
-
"11 Marine Terrace was was a fab house, we were a party of 10 and there was ample room for everyone, it was so cosy and warm."
We loved the Aga and the spacious kitchen equipped with everything we needed. It was a great location and the views were amazing. The 2nd sitting room was lovely with views out to sea. Would highly recommend and would love to visit again.
-
"Lovely, well maintained and stocked property in an idyllic setting."
Would highly recommend and hope to visit again.
-
"Great location and accommodation for a large family holiday."
2nd sitting room upstairs has calming views out to sea. Would book again.
-
"Fabulous house."
We were a party of 15 with ages ranging from 4 to 74. Warm, cosy, loads of space. Only criticism would be having only Aga to cook on. Tricky to cook,for example, pizzas for 15 in oven!! No doubt if we were used to an Aga we would have coped better. Position of property next to the sea, was wonderful for the children. They loved it. Pictures and description of property do not do it justice. Will recommend it to others
-
"A superb large spacious house in a perfect location for a family beach holiday."
Ample reception rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, all clean and well presented. Bedlinen and towels immaculate. A nice welcome basket with cakes greeted us. If i had to make any comments, the Aga was a struggle to use for a large gathering, and as it was on all the time, the kitchen was very hot. A large range cooker, electric or gas, would have been much more beneficial. The kitchen was well equipped, maybe a few more larger pans, dishes and a large measuring jug? Also there were no pegs for the washing line! On the whole we had a fabulous holiday and would definitely come back! Many thanks!
-
"A home from home, we all loved the aga and the warmth this brought to the kitchen and helped dry the swimming costumes from the kids dips in the sea."
Great house for four generations to enjoy time together.
-
"Great house!"
We loved our stay and it had room for our whole family! Thanks for this great opportunity!
-
"The house was fab 15 people in the house and lots of room and everything we needed Really clean."
Outside and inside space was great and just across the road was the beach Each morning waking up to scenery and sound of the sea We will definitely be back
-
"Exceed expectations is all areas."
Beautiful property and location.
-
"We loved the view and the layout of the property worked well for us."
Everything we needed for a home away from home was provided. The location was just right too: next to the sea, near a castle, right on the Wales Coast Path: perfect for us. We were able to have a really relaxing week.
-
"The property was beautiful, comfy and had everything we needed for a great weekend."
Cooking on the Aga took a bit of getting used to but we eventually sussed the cooking levels. The only thing I would say the kitchen needed was an electric kettle, when cooking for 14 there isn't enough room on the stove for the kettle. Being on the beachfront was ideal for us and combined with very unexpected sunshine was a bonus. Criccieth was a lovely town plenty of little shops to wander round and places to eat.
-
"The pictures do not do the house justice."
It is beautiful, there is loads of space for big family groups, everything was clean and it was only a shame we weren’t staying longer.
-
"All the family really enjoyed the stay and would go back perfect place and room for everyone"
-
"We were 10 of us for part of the week and only 2 of us for 3 nights."
Spacious, warm, welcoming. Good showers, beds, quality linen and towels. Sofas proved uncomfortable, but easy chairs were fine. Right o. the sea front, with a big table and benches out front to enjoy the stunning views.
-
"Beautiful welcoming home, excellently appointed with everything we needed."
Very spacious and in a great location. roadside parking was always available outside, lovely friendly neighbours. Perfect spot for a swim in the sea, walking and base for exploring the surrounding areas. Thanks so much, we can’t wait to return
-
"The house was amazing."
Couldn't get over the size of the place. Everything you could possibly need was available there. The position is fantastic. Criccieth was my favourite place. I would definitely like to return in the future.
-
"A fabulous property in a great position."
The house is well equipped and comfortable. We had a wonderful family holiday there.
-
"This was a fantastic property for a large group or family."
The location was ideal and local facilities were excellent. Thoroughly recommended!
-
"Excellent communication from Sykes Cottages and the property owner."
A spacious and well appointed house ideal for our family holiday. A beautiful location with lots to do in the surrounding area. Going to sleep listening to the sound of the waves and waking up to a sea view was the icing on the cake! We had an excellent stay and would highly recommend this fabulous property.
-
"Fantastic house for large group gathering."
Looking straight into the sea. Owner very helpful when contacted. Would certainly want to go again.
-
"It would have been nice to have a better understanding of how very different an Aga range cooker is to a normal cooker."
Ended up having some very late meals because we did not appreciate how slow an Aga can be and the microwave was too small to fit a large meal into it. We had 2 x 90+ family members with us and for them hand rails on both sides of the stairs would have been useful. Other than these minor points we found the property to be well presented, well maintained and very comfortable. We would certainly be happy to make a return visit.
-
"This house looks directly onto the beach with amazing views across the bay."
It is very spacious,thoughtfully furnished and easily accommodated 7 adults,4 children and a baby. We liked it so much we booked it again for next year!
-
"Fantastic house that comfortably fitted 3 families."
Great location and fab facilities
-
"Lovely house right on the sea front and parking was never an issue."
There was 14 of us staying and we had plenty of room. Would defiantly return and recommend to anyone. The only thing missing was a toaster!
-
"We had a fantastic long weekend at 11 Marine Terrace."
We gathered with our family to celebrate my husband's 75th birthday and were delighted that the house was so beautiful, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. It has everything a large group could possibly need including books, games, and table football. There are wonderful views of sea and mountains and there is a lovely pebbly beach just opposite the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"All dealings with Sykes were spot on."
I was kept informed all the way from booking to arriving. I have to say the house completely exceeded our expectations, the pictures are accurate but you don't realise how lovely it is until you are inside. So much attention to detail, plenty of pots and cutlery. The position is brilliant, just across from the sea and round the corner from Criccieth Castle. We are definitely hoping to go again but in the summer this time. I cant recommend this property enough.
-
"We had a fabulous time in this beautiful property."
Great location right on the sea front. House was spacious, very well equipped and furnished and warm and comfortable on a chilly November weekend. Lovely crisp bed linen and fluffy towels. We especially enjoyed the table football.

Passing through the dining area and into the kitchen you will love the farmhouse-style breakfast table in the centre where you can all gather around with your morning teas and coffee.
The country-style kitchen units with oak work top, large kitchen table and AGA cooker will be a joy to use when you are cooking up a large family meal in the evening, hopefully with some help!
