  Ideal location for exploring Criccieth and surrounding area. Beautiful views from 1st floor window the perfect place to drink morning tea (with a cheeky biscuit!). Overall a very well equipped, clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated house the perfect place to stay with friends and family. Thank you

  Thank you so much for your generous feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed Enfys and the surrounding area so much, particularly the first floor lounge- as you say, perfect for enjoying a cuppa or indeed a drink of any kind at anytime of day!!

  We ventured into the mountains, explored the beaches of the Lyn peninsula and hung out at the house and in the town .. all in February :-) The owners went out of their way to help us with enquiries. Thank you so much for making our holiday in Criccieth perfect.

• "Enfys is a beautifully decorated large home which feels very comfortable."

  Indeed some of the photos don’t do justice to the size of the rooms and the beautiful views onto the sea. Also the room arrangement is not adequately described on the spec as part of the house (the kitchen and the first king size bedroom with shower over bath) are part of an extended back to the house. The kitchen is really well equipped, very big, everything you need, plentiful crockery and with a utility room and downstairs toilet at the back. We did use both ovens but one door on the left hand oven did start to close on you whilst removing food so needed someone to hold it open to avoid burns (we learned the hard way). The bedroom above is down a long corridor but if you ignore this there is a turn on the landing and three stairs to continue up into the main house where the smaller double bedroom with walk in shower and upper sitting room are located. This upper sitting room is the nicest room in the house due to the light, sea views and recliner chairs in the windows, plus it has no TV which allows some peace away from the melee of the rest of the household - assuming no one is playing the table football! Up again is the beautiful master bedroom and en-suite with roll top bath. Up further ‘less deep’ stairs to the top floor are two kings, one twin and a bathroom. These rooms are a little smaller and the bath does not get sufficient hot water for washing leading some of our party to need to borrow others bathrooms. I note that this was discussed in an earlier review. The heating was great throughout the house and there were some blankets provided should anyone need to wrap up in the evening. Overall the light was lovely in the house and many old fixtures and fittings preserved which added to the overall feel of the house. I wouldn’t recommend filling the house to capacity but it housed the 8 of us that could make it for Christmas very adequately. The house was wonderfully decorated for Christmas and there was a very welcome, welcome pack awaiting us on arrival. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful and were very ready to offer text support. Being right on the sea front meant that we could all get out for a breath of fresh air even over the Christmas weather with some days of rough seas and others with sun and calm. Parking was busy (a lot had the same idea about Christmas by the sea) but we didn’t have any trouble parking close to or beside the property. It will be lovely to return in the warmer months. Were it not for the hot water issue at the top of the house and the oven door I would have given 5* with no problem.

  Thank you for taking the time to provide your kind feedback. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your Christmas and New Year stay at Enfys. We are particularly glad that you enjoyed the upper lounge - our favourite space also! We are sorry to hear that you encountered a problem with the hot water on the top floor…a previous guest noted that they felt the water was too hot, and maybe in correcting that we have adjusted too far the other way. We will certainly ask our plumber to sort this issue, and apologise for the inconvenience caused. With regard to the door of the smaller oven, we have had a look, and the range was not quite sitting squarely in its space which prevented the oven door opening fully. We have corrected this, but have also decided that we will replace the cooker in the near future. Thank you again for your feedback, we would love to welcome you back at a warmer time of year!

  Perfect for our family to stay in, everything we needed was provided. We loved the views of the sea from the windows, and we could hear the sea at night too, so relaxing. Always found enough car parking outside the house even with our four cars. Cricceith is a lovely small town with great places to eat, lovely bakery and butchers as well as independent other shops.

• "The shower temperature on the top floor could not be turned down."

  The water was scalding, therefore could not be used, which defeated the idea of that floor being for families. The adults couldn't use it never mind the children. Also, the front bedroom windows could not be opened. Everyone tried! Made it very hot at night. Tried a fan, but the two in the house were very noisy. Apart from the above we had a lovely stay and would definitely come back (if the above is sorted). Fabulous location. Loved it.

  We are sorry that you encountered a problem with the shower temperature, we will certainly look into this, and can only apologise for the inconvenience caused. Thank you for bringing the windows to our attention, having had your feedback we can address this at the next turn around. We would encourage our guests to please contact the housekeeper during their stay ,so that we can respond to any issues immediately. Otherwise we are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Enfys, and of course would be pleased to welcome you back for a return visit. Property Owner

  Enfys is the perfect holiday home, wonderfully furnished, super comfy beds, sea views and so much room! The welcome hamper is such a lovely touch. It's a great base for Criccieth and the surrounding area including the rabbit farm which is just down the road in a really picturesque location. Car parking is ample in front of the property.

• "The house is fab it has everything we needed our only problem is the amount of rubbish 12 people generate while on holiday we eat and drink more and the bins only get emptied every 3 weeks and the green bin was 3/4 full wen we got there and one set of the recycling bins were completely full and the cleaning team forgot to come and put them out so we were having to go to the tip on our holiday with rubbish."

  We also left 3 bin bags full of recycling cans and cardboard the lovely Sarah said she’d take them to the tip for us. When you have up to 12 people in a house most weeks you should be paying each week for your bins to be emptied ready for your next guests. it’s only £12.50 to get a bin emptied that’s not a lot considering how much we pay to stay there. I believe this is something that needs consideration.

  Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your time in Enfys. We are very sorry to hear about the issues that you had with the rubbish. This most certainly should not have been the case and we can only apologise that the rubbish wasn’t dealt with before your arrival.

  All the en suite bedrooms spread across the floors were perfect for our large family group. We particularly love the location of the house, right by the sea, with stunning views from all the rooms at the front, and the very large spaces inside the house were much appreciated. We spent most of our time in the downstairs front room but also enjoyed the upper front room - especially the new reclining chairs! It’s such a well-equipped house as well - we did a bit of cooking, and the kitchen has everything we needed! So many games and books as well, for the rainy days.

  Thank you!! Great to hear that you enjoyed your second stay at Enfys.

• "Fabulously positioned house, and one of the best “ decorated” we have ever stayed in!"

  It’s facing a pebbly beach which was stormy most of our week, but the two lounges have beautifully placed chairs so you can dolphin spot from the windows. There is an amazing array of books about the area and relevant wildlife, huge selection of boxed games, and dvds ( adults and children’s). The kitchen is very well equipped. Huge dining room table, with smaller in kitchen. Great “ master suite” with stand alone bath ( had trouble getting enough hot water to fill) but the grandchildren loved it. A small seating area out back. We had 3 cars and never had trouble parking outside for free. We loved Criccieth- a “real” village, not touristy, but with a fabulous chip shop and ice cream place in walking distance. Lots of stairs especially to the top 3 bedrooms to walk off the food!! Great and very generous welcome pack. Having 2 Lounges would suit mixed age groups ( toddler toys and snooker table in top lounge) but plenty of comfy seating for 10 of us in the downstairs lounge. Recommend this house!

  House was well equipped and we had a comfortable stay with 3 generations of family. Front terrace was lovely and peaceful, looking directly over the sea,ideal for morning coffee and breakfast. The back court yard offered comfort and privacy late afternoon and evenings. The house was maintained well with many quirky items and pictures that showed that thought and care had gone into making your stay a happy and interesting one.

  We loved every aspect of the house - it’s beautifully decorated, really well kitted out and so comfortable. The views from the rooms at the front are awesome. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Marine Terrace is the perfect location in Criccieth, right on the sea front so a couple of steps and you’re on the beach! Excellent beach kit provided (beach chairs, umbrella, fishing nets). We were lucky enough to see dolphins and seals at sea in front of the house. There is also a lovely table and chairs at the front, where we would eat breakfast and watch the world go by. Most of the bedrooms are en suite - and spread over three floors - so perfect for mixed groups. We hardly heard a sound from above / below. Very safely conscious too - with fire doors and a pretty sophisticated looking fire alarm system. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this house and we are already looking for visiting again! Diolch yn fawr iawn!

  Very comfortable for 7 people. The kitchen was well-stocked, the oven is great, and all it was missing was wooden spoons! The owner had put careful thought into Christmas decorations, and everything felt very seasonal. We especially liked the tree with sea creature ornaments. The only note is that the top floor sleeps 6 with only one bathroom. The next publicly available bathroom is on the ground floor, but that has no shower, so full occupancy would be uncomfortable bathroom-wise.
