"A wonderful holiday cottage, that had everything you needed."
We were very lucky with the weather and loved just sitting and looking at the views in this beautiful part of the country. We were really pleased that everything you needed was on hand, including the housekeeper who was exceptional. We will definitely be staying again. All the bedrooms and the living rooms are clean and comfortable and a pleasure to spend time in. This cottage is definitely going to be our new place to go.

"We all thought the location brilliant."
Lounge was comfy with a axing views abd brilliant for a evening of games. All rooms are a good size so we were never on top of each other, kitchen was well stocked and could easily prepare evening meals. Loved the ice dispenser. Table good size to sit around with yet again brilliant views. All bedrooms had sea views, couple who had the master bedroom mentioned that the bed seemed smaller than a double but that was the only negative comment. Procecco was a lovely touch thank. Would 100% recommend this property amazing holiday thank you
Many thanks for the lovely feedback Gladys. I've just checked and all three double beds are standard UK double bed size so sorry if it seemed a little small. The bed in the master bedroom is a very chunky wooden one so perhaps that made the mattress seem smaller? Property Owner

"Beautiful house in a lovely location."
Exceptionally well stocked kitchen and facilities. We very much enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the holiday home to others. The view is stunning. We all slept incredibly well, which is definitely a bonus with a 2 year old and 7 year old. It's been lovely Thank you xx

"What a wonderful property, and location is superb."
To wake up to those views is amazing every morning. We have all had a great time and hope to return next year. Thank you or the prosecco, very much appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful stay, absolutely beautiful view! Thank you x

"Cae’r Dyni is a wonderful holiday home."
The views are amazing, the beds very comfortable and the kitchen exceptionally well equipped. There was plenty of room for eight of us ( including two very excited young children). The owners have obviously put a great deal of thought and care into the facilities on offer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property for a lovely holiday break. Thank you Pam and family
Thank you for the lovely feedback Pam. We’re so glad you enjoyed staying in the house as much as we do. Property Owner

"Fantastic Stay."
Thank you so much for letting us stay in your amazing house. We have had a great week, walking, mountain biking and generally just chilling. We have so enjoyed looking out at the views with a cup of tea and a good book. Pete had his 43rd Birthday here and had a brill day. The only downside of our week was it went far too quickly!! Fingers crossed we will be able to come back next year as we love this part of the world. Thanks again The Yates

"A beautiful home in a gorgeous setting overlooking the sea & the castle at Criccieth."
A very comfortable & luxury home. The house is well appointed there was not a thing we could want for. The living areas were very comfortable & we loved the family kitchen dinning room. The masterbedroom & ensuite bathroom were wonderful. I would love to return again. However I feels its far to a home for big for two people. We were hoping to be joined by family members but circumstances prevented them from joining us. I would thoroughly recommend a stay in this beautiful home by the sea.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay in our house. Property Owner

"We have enjoyed our stay at Caer Dyni."
It has been our 40th/Ruby wedding anniversary, which we celebrated in your beautiful well appointed home. You seem to have thought of most things your guests could need/want. A comfortable, luxurious home which we have enjoyed very much. The setting of Caer Dyni is outstanding with wonderful view out to sea and along the coast to Criccieth. Staying here this close to the sea has been very soothing and relaxing. It has made us realise how important it is to us to be close to the sea. We had a wonderful meal at The Goat Inn, Glandwyfach, LL519LJ. We fully recommend going for great home cooked food. Thank you to all involved in making out stay such a pleasure. Harry and Elaine Gray

"This is a comfortable and well-equipped property in a great location."
It is ideal for an extended family, as we were, and in particular the downstairs living accommodation. The utility/boot room served us particularly well when returning from walks in Storm Agnes!
So glad you enjoyed your stay despite the awful weather. Property Owner
-
"Thanks for a wonderful base for our holiday."
It was perfect for a group of walkers who love cooking.
So glad you enjoyed your stay. Many thanks for the lovely feedback. Property Owner

"Lovely house and position."
Well stocked kitchen. No mention of the twin room being downstairs. Grandparents in that room not close to a bathroom. Mattresses poor, causing a bad back.3 members of our party banged their heads on utility door to exit. No warnings of its low height. Excellent wi fi. Good parking. 2 showers were very small.
Thank you for your feedback, we’re sorry your stay fell short of your expectations. However the description on line does clearly say that the twin bedroom is downstairs. The mattresses in all the bedrooms have been replaced recently and we also put good quality mattress toppers on all the beds. If they were too soft or firm then this is always a personal preference and the first time it’s been mentioned. The house is an old farm cottage so the back door is a little low, we’re sorry you bumped your head and we have now put a sign on warning of this. The showers are proprietary ones and most people seem to find them quite adequate. We are disappointed with your 50% rating as this is by far the lowest in 12 years Property Owner

"House itself is exceptionally comfortable with spectacular views of the sea."
Fantastic location. Beach a 2 minute walk downhill. Town a 5 minute walk away. Lots of walks around the area. Snowdon etc all easily drivable. Fab stay. Thank you.
Thanks for the lovely feedback Property Owner

"Great house in perfect location; spacious, comfortable inside and on terrace; lacked nothing and we had brilliant weather."
The only improvement I could suggest is a more accessible shower or at least a grab handle.
Many thanks for the feedback. So glad you had lovely stay Property Owner

"What an absolutely fabulous house."
It was just as described, and a perfect location. Went swimming most mornings so ideal to just stroll down the hill. Amazing views whichever way you turn, and small touches like having binoculars to borrow was great. We also were blessed with amazing weather so an added bonus. Will definitely return.
-
"Fantastic property."
It’s a beautiful spacious house, with views over the sea and within walking distance of the town centre. Spotlessly clean, well-equipped, warm and comfortable. We loved it, probably the best holiday home we’ve stayed in.
-
"Cae'r Dyni is the most outstanding cottage we have ever stayed in."
From the moment you step into it, it feels like home. The cottage is amazing and the views are stunning and can be enjoyed from every room. I can't believe I was able to watch the waves role in while brushing my teeth! The quality of design to the property is second to none. We are a family of 6 and there was plenty of room and facilities ( cups, glasses etc) which was fantastic and really appreciated. I am completely in love with this property and will definitely be back in the future.
Many thanks for the lovely feedback, we’re so pleased you love it as much as we do. Kind regards John & Jenny Speedie Property Owner

"Beautiful location, very comfortable and beautifully furnished."
The only negative was the check in and out times 9am leave and 5.30pm arrival - it's a whole day - it has really put me off booking again.
Many thanks for the lovely feedback. The 9am check out is a hang over from the Covid day’s when our house keeper had to do a deep clean between bookings. This should have been changed to 10 am so I’m sorry if this caused a rushed departure. Like most cottages, check in time is 4pm. We hope you’ll be back again. Kind regards John & Jenny Speedie Property Owner

"Our third stay and still really excellent and well kept The views are great ..."
Our third stay and still really excellent and well kept The views are great and it’s so suitable for our family We have booked again for next year but would appreciate an earlier check in time and a bit later leaving time as we miss nearly a day
Many thanks for the lovely feedback and for booking once again. The 9am check out is a hang over from the Covid day’s when our house keeper had to do a deep clean between bookings. This should have been changed to 10 am so I’m sorry if this caused a rushed departure. I’m afraid 4pm will remain the check in to give enough time for a good clean. This is the norm for most cottages. Kind regards John & Jenny Speedie Property Owner

"An absolutely fantastic property in a stunning surroundings."
All the rooms were very comfortable, beautifully decorated and had lovely views. Had all the facilities and more. We all wished we could have stayed another week. We'll definitely come back again.
-
"Cae’r Dyni is absolutely wonderful, perfect house, perfect setting, I could stay there forever, every window gives views of wonderful Criccieth and it’s castle."
-
"Had the best time here."
Lovely house and beautiful views. Would come back in a heart beat, from us in Canada, Birmingham and Wales
-
"Not sure where to start, and if I had time I'd be writing for hours, but we need to be out of the house in 10 mins."
This property is probably one of the best we have stayed in. Cannot fault a thing (bar no gin glasses) but we always take our own!! You have catered for everything. The property is spacious, has been well designed & the little touches finish everything off to perfection. As I write this I am staring at the at the most amazing view- and yes we will miss it without a doubt. Two families and a dog (broxton) thank you for allowing us to share your wonderful property. It truly is amazing and we will be back for sure we will. The smiths & Blacklocks from Chester xxx

"Outstanding holiday home with everything you could wish for and more!"
Maintained to the highest standard I'm a stunning location
-
"The location of this property is outstanding."
-
"A beautiful house in a beautiful location."
The best equipped holiday cottage we’ve ever stayed in
-
"Such a lovely setting we were seduced into spending 2 days at the property rather than go out for the day."
The local fish & chip shop is good but not good enough to warrant my husband’s hour in the queue!
-
"Second visit to Caer Dyni and still excellent so have booked again for next year !"
’ Good service from Sykes who dealt with any concerns very quickly and friendly
-
"A fantastic base to our walking holiday ."
Fantastic accommodation with everything that we needed to relax after busy days of walking the coast have booked a return visit next year . Would highly recommend
-
"This was our 6th visit to Caer Dyni which very much suggests that we like it."
My only minor criticism is that, for us, the bed in the master bedroom isn't big enough and is uncomfortable. We put up with that though as this is a lovely place.
-
"Excellent cottage, all amenities that you require, taste fully decorated (like the weather station), warm and cosy,plenty of space for us all,fantastic views, easy walk to get to town centre or beach (good sand when tide out), supermarkets close by, local shops good, fish and chips opposite Castle brilliant, wish we could have stayed longer."
-
"We had a fantastic stay at Cae’r Dyni and the views are wonderful ."
In fact the photos and description on line don’t do it justice !! It exceeded our expectations. The master en suite in its own wing is especially good and all very well equipped and clean So good that we have booked it already for next year !!!
-
"The fifth time we have rented this family house."
Fantastic position, facilities and atmosphere.
-
"Stunning views, beautiful and well equipped house."
Extremely comfortable.
-
"The house is beautifully decorated and the layout is excellent for a large family holiday."
The location is perfect as you can walk to the beach, which we did in all weathers. The house has everything you need from kitchen items to amazing sea views from every window. One downside if I had to have one is the WiFi signal is poor, this was not an issue for us but for some Families maybe an issue.
-
"This was our 5th visit to this particular cottage so we know it very well and love it."
We booked last year through Menai and were sad to see them absorbed by Sykes as we preferred the local knowledge offered. It was far more difficult to extend this stay and to organise next year as a result of the merger.
-
"This tastefully renovated cottage was perfect for our extended family holiday."
-
"Stunning location with amazing views of the sea and surrounding countryside."
Caer Dyni is a beautiful home offering a luxurious environment to spend a holiday. Every need is taken care of and the property is spacious and very well maintained.It is even better in reality than the illustrations on the Menai Holidays website. Impossible to fault.
-
"Beautiful well presented and stylish house."

"Beautiful, comfortable house with fantastic views and easy walk to beach through field."
-
"Excellent clean house, in fabulous position."
Few irritating things......washing left in washer, no bin liners, no dish cloths, leak in Hall with heavy rain (was noted previously apparently) Would have been 5 Stars otherwise.
-
"Lovely cottage - fabulous location."
Just a little niggle - need some small tables to put cups/glasses when sitting in living room.
-
"Supberb house and location and what a view !"
A real home from home. Quality and uniqueness throughout. Very clean.
-

The property
Cae’r Dyni is the holiday house for you if you are looking for a seaside family retreat!
Nearly all of the windows have stunning views of the sea and Criccieth castle.
This genuinely is a calming and peaceful home from home.
Being part original and part new build, the two sections are united by an amazing slate-floored room with rocking chairs that look out to the sea through a glass wall.
The staircase is beautifully crafted - in fact, hand crafted and beautiful, curated items is the common theme in Cae’r Dyni.
It’s just lovely!
The cosy sitting room has the most incredible views out across the sea.
Sitting here looking out of the large windows with a cuppa and watching the sunshine play on the ocean would be blissful, especially if you also spot a porpoise or two!
The comfortable sofas are set around a wood burner.
There are chairs which you can turn to face looking out of the windows, too.
There’s a flat screen TV, DVD player and hi-fi. The kitchen is open plan with a dining space to one end of the room, too.
There’s a log burning Esse cooker, an electric cooker and gas hob as well as an American-style fridge with freezer, a microwave and a dishwasher.
A TV always for some entertainment whilst rustling up something tasty - just don’t burn your supper!
There is a large utility room with sink, washing machine and dryer. The dining area has a table lovingly made my the hands of Caer Dyni's owner.
There are eight leather chairs, a wood burning stove and oak floors with underfloor heating.
This is a great space for family meals. There is a delightful ground floor bedroom with squishy twin single beds. On the ground floor there is a cloakroom with loo and wash hand basin. On the first floor are three bedrooms, all furnished to a good standard.
The master room has a solid wooden ‘stocks' bed.
It also has an ensuite with a sumptuous roll-top bath, a separate corner shower and an incredible wash basin which started it’s life in Marrakesh and is now in a holiday cottage in North Wales! The other two rooms upstairs are doubles.
All bedrooms have TV’s and DVD players.
One of the other double rooms has an ensuite with a loo, wash basin and shower. The family bathroom is great!
There’s a loo, wash hand basin and separate shower - the slipper bath is a real treat! Head outside and you’ll find a gravel area with seating that boasts some of the best views from a holiday house in Criccieth!
Just soak up the sea views and the sea air from here with a glass of wine come sunset.
There is off-road parking next to the property. Cae’r Dyni is not just a holiday cottage with sea views - it’s also only a short walk from the seaside town of Criccieth with a footpath leading down to the beach.
Happy holiday memories will be made in this cosy and comfortable holiday house on the popular Llyn Peninsula.
