"Beautiful well equipped home for the 10 of us - it had everything we wanted/needed."
Beautifuls views and scenery all around and lovely village with plenty of shops, takeaways and pubs. We had a lovely week and would definitely recommend to any friends and family visiting the area. Thank you!
Thank you for your generous feedback, and recommendation. It’s always good to hear that our guests love Enfys and Criccieth as much as we do!! Property Owner

"Beautiful presented home from home."
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.
Thank you for your kind feedback, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Enfys, and that you loved Criccieth as much as we do!! Property Owner

"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

"A fantastic holiday!"
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. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind feedback and recommendation , it was a pleasure to welcome you back to Enfys. We are glad that you enjoyed the house and found plenty to do in the surrounding area. Property Owner

"Excellent seafront base satisfying all our needs."
Ideal for walking, close to Snowdonia and the Lyn Peninsula. Splendid chippies and the wonderful restaurant ‘Poachers’ on the Main Street. Great butcher and bakery, and not too far from 3 supermarkets in Porthmadog.
Thank you for your kind feedback, it was lovely to welcome you back to Enfys, and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"Fabulous holiday home, we had a wonderful week there."
Very spacious house, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, lots of board games, books and area guides, spectacular views, fantastic location. We have been staying in cottages in Wales for 16 years and this is one of the best we've stayed in, it's very homely and everything has been thought of for a comfortable stay. We had a beautiful welcome basket too on arrival which was a lovely surprise and milk and butter in the fridge. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you for a lovely week, we would love to return.
Thank you so much for your very kind feedback, we really appreciate it, and are so glad that you enjoyed your stay in Enfys. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back soon! Property Owner

"Very well equipped property, lovely welcome pack and card."
All enjoyed our stay and made good use of the pool table. Lots to do locally, beautiful coastal and inland walks. Could never tire of sitting in the first floor lounge watching the sea and the sky whatever the weather outside.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your New Year’s stay in Enfys. Like you, we never tire of the view from the upstairs lounge, be it calm or dramatic!! Property Owner

"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. We do try to ensure our guests have the best possible experience whilst staying in Enfys, and can only offer our sincere apologies again for the issues that arose. Property Owner

"Another absolutely fantastic stay at Enfys."
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. We really appreciate our guests taking the time to give us feedback- particularly glad you enjoyed the new reclining chairs- they do add to the sea/wildlife watching experience from the upstairs lounge don’t they! Property Owner

"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!
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Enfys so much, and that you loved Criccieth too-despite the not-so-good weather!! Property Owner

"A wonderful holiday home, very spacious but homely at the same time."
Well equipped kitchen, all the amenities and lots of games for little ones. The location can't get any better, beautiful sea views, easy access to the beach and 5 mins walk to central Criccieth. A perfect holiday home, it doesn't get better than this!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Enfys. Property Owner

"A great location for walking the coastal path, and visiting local attractions."
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. Criccieth itself is a hidden gem, who needs Cornwall,cafes, restaurants a castle, independent retailers and sea activities and with all this the sun shone for the whole week we had a great holiday thank you.

"A beautiful holiday house well-suited to family groups."
Lovely thoughtful touches throughout. Our grandchildren were thrilled to discover the stock of books, games and beach equipment that was in place for them to enjoy. Similarly the kitchen was a cook's delight and again was thoughtfully stocked. We were very pleased to discover the excellent and generous welcome pack of goodies! Stylish decorative touches gave a sense of the owner's commitment to creating a special welcoming and fascinating environment. A real sense of the owners wanting guests to enjoy their time in this house was apparent everywhere. Thank you so much. We hope to return very soon.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are really pleased you enjoyed your time in Enfys. We look forward to welcoming you all back soon! Property Owner

"Criccieth holds a special place in our hearts and Enfy’s exceeded all of our expectations!"
We had the most perfect stay here, Lesley was a fab host and dealt with any problems quickly, professionally and was very friendly. The kitchen had everything you could’ve possibly needed and the house had a really cozy, homely feel with lots of quirky touches throughout. All beds were very comfortable and the house was spotless throughout. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to return to this gem on the beachfront!! Thank you!
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Enfys, and look forward to welcoming you back soon! Property Owner

"Superb comfortable property, really well equipped."
Multiple rooms over 4 levels. One of the best large properties in Criccieth. Very helpful and proactive housekeeper with regards to handovers and problem solving. Highly recommend.

"Lovely property and nice band large for na big family group."
Lots of nice touches in the decoration and provided things like toys for small children. The only thing that was difficult is the leaving by 10.00am with 2 small children. l realise this is the same with most Sykes properties. I would highly recommend it and definitely go again.
Thank you for your feedback, we are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Enfys. I t would be lovely to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

"The guest notes said that the housekeeper would sort out the bins for rubbish collection but the bins were full when we arrived and only the green bin was emptied during the week."
The blue bins were full to overflowing when we left along with the 2 x waste food bins. One of which was full when we arrrived. We had a problem with the top floor shower and the kichen tap was leaking but the plumber fixed them on the Monday. But a lovely property in a great location with wonderful views.
Apologies for the delay in our response, but we have been on holiday ourselves. We are so sorry that you experienced problems with the bins during your stay, obviously this is unacceptable and we will follow up with our housekeeper. The previous guests only noticed the leaking tap on the Saturday morning before they left, we responded as soon as possible and are glad that our plumber was able to fix the issues on Monday morning for you. We hope otherwise that you enjoyed your stay in Enfys. Property Owner

"Thanks for an amazing stay!"
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!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed Enfys and Criccieth as much as we do!! Great that you saw the dolphins and seals too!! We look forward to welcoming you back to Enfys. Property Owner

"We were a party of 8 and came to Enfys for 5 days to celebrate a 60th birthday."
As soon as we walked through the door we were all blown away by how beautiful and well appointed the house was. The kitchen was a good size and was well equipped with everything one might need for a comfortable stay. The welcome pack of bread, butter, jams, milk, Welsh cakes and Prosecco was a lovely touch and a nice surprise. The house was very spacious and beautifully furnished and decorated. The pool table on the 2nd floor was great fun and the wildlife books and binoculars were great for dolphin watching through the big windows. We had a small issue with the electrics during our stay, but the owner came almost straight away to sort it out. Enfys is in a perfect position in Criccieth being right on the seafront and a short walk from the pubs, shops and restaurants. We all loved our stay and will definitely be back
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are glad that you loved Enfys as much as we do, and are very grateful to you for the care you took of our home- thank you for leaving it so clean and tidy. It was a pleasure to have you as our guests, and we hope that you are able to come back and enjoy Enfys again soon. Property Owner

"A lovely house - very well kitted out, We cooked for the majority of our stay and were very happy with the cooking facilities, cutleries and implements provided."
The location is great with the beach just outside the doorstep (literally), and many other beautiful sandy beaches within a short driving distance. The house also left plenty of walking books and information on places to visit. It was really useful to have the camping chairs and fishing nets that were left for use. The house has a wide selection of DVDs (including a large selection suitable for children), and many family games, as well as toys and reading books for the little ones. It felt like we were having a stay over at someone's home for a couples of weeks. Really thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Thank you very much for your great review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your 2 week stay so much. We have aimed for a home from home experience for our guests and are glad that you felt so comfortable. Property Owner

"Gorgeous property on the seafront; one of the nicest places we've ever stayed."
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.
-
"We had a superb long weekend at Enfys and would definitely return."
The location is perfect - what a view! And close enough to walk easily to the local shops and restaurants plus lovely beach walks right from the door. The house is beautiful, we felt so special staying in such a gorgeous home, and it had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay, we’ll be back
