"We had a wonderful week away in beautiful North Wales."
Having this holiday property to come home every evening made it all the more perfect. Haul A Gwynt was a real home from home, we felt so comfortable and relaxed there. The hot tub is a wonderful bonus too. We also loved the incredible views across to the castle and out to sea. The property is located a short walk away from Criccieth where we enjoyed the various shops, cafes restaurants and pubs.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a great review, we really appreciate it. We are so happy you enjoyed staying at Haul A Gwynt, soaking up the views from the hot tub! We hope to welcome you back one day. Warm wishes, Jan & Julian Property Owner

"Such a stunning, idyllic house with breath taking views from every angle!"
We fell in love with this place from the moment we pulled on the driveway! Ample space inside and outside. The owners have been very thoughtful and provided everything you could possibly need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and didn't want to leave! We had the best nights sleep in the most comfortable beds. The local restaurants and cafes are only a short walking distance and all were very good, especially Dylan's! Jan, the owner, was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any queries we had during our stay. Thank you Jan x It was a pleasure to meet you at the end of our stay. We would love to come back in the future !
Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to write your kind review! We would love to have you back again in the future and it was lovely to actually get to meet you too! It’s not often we get to meet our guests. Warm wishes, Jan & Julian Property Owner

"What more can I add about how good this house is but superb."
Plenty of room outside, upstairs and down for six adults and a small humanoid. Excellent facilities features with the hot tub well used and now a must for future holidays. Great views from the verandah and balconies The photographs are good but you have to be there to appreciate how good. The only complaint was they we were not staying longer!
Thank you so much for leaving such a fabulous review! We are so happy to hear you all enjoyed your holiday at Haul A Gwynt and really hope to welcome you all back again one day. Warm wishes, Jan & Julian Property Owner

"One of the best houses we have stayed in, the house was stunning and the views were perfect."
Jan and Julian have presented the perfect getaway property in beautiful Criccieth. We had 6 adults and a 2 year old staying and there was plenty of room to relax and enjoy the surroundings. We had the opportunity to use the hot tub which was perfect in the sun with a glass of fizz. The house was spotlessly clean, the beds extremely comfortable, and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The property was 5 minutes from the beach, and Dillon's restaurant. The town centre is a 10 minute walk with local shops and places to eat. We will definitely return to Haul A Gwynt in the future.
Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your holiday at Haul A Gwynt and the sun shone for you in the hot tub. Our house is kept spotless by a fantastic team and I will pass on your kind words. We would love to welcome you all back again soon. Warm wishes, Jan & Julian Property Owner

"We had a wonderful week staying at Haul A Gwynt."
The property was perfect and the facilities were home from home. The owners are very attentive and cater to your every need. The area is great. 5 minute walk to the beach, 10 minute to the centre where the shops and cafes are. Lovely restaurant. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your holiday at Haul A Gwynt and exploring Criccieth this Easter. We hope to welcome you back again. Warm wishes. Jan & Julian Property Owner

"Amazing- We've stayed in many self catering accommodations over the years, none like this."
Comfortable well equipped and pristine. The hosts were informative, welcoming and generous. They were imminently contactable, but we had no need because everything was already considered and catered for. Irrespective of the labile weather in North Wales, you are guaranteed a great holiday at Haul A Gwynt.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words. It was a pleasure to have you and your family stay at Haul A Gwynt and enjoy your holiday, regardless of the Great British weather! Warm wishes, Jan & Julian Property Owner

"We really can’t recommend this lovely place highly enough!"
It’s absolutely beautiful with fabulous fixtures and fittings throughout and everything you could possibly need. The views are to die for and it’s a pleasure to simply sit and take them in in such lovely surroundings. Criccieth is very pleasant, we walked up to the castle, ate out a couple of times and we also visited Portmeirion which was only a short drive away. A member of our party had to work for a couple of days while we were there which he managed with ease - WiFi was fast and reliable. We’ve arrived home feeling so refreshed and relaxed and determined to visit again. Thank you so much owners Jan & Julian - what a special place you have created! Honestly - do yourself a big favour and book Haul A Gwynt - it’s an absolute treat!
Hi Terry, thank you so much for choosing to stay at Haul A Gwynt and taking the time to leave your lovely review, it means a lot! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay here and got to see beautiful Criccieth with a little bit of sunshine thrown in! Warm wishes, Jan & Julian Property Owner

"What a fantastic stay we had at Haul A Gwynt, we were very sad to leave and it seems such a distant memory already."
The property is absolutely beautiful and exceptionally well appointed in all areas. It literally is like home away from home. The beds, bedding, towels, furnishings, kitchen, all areas, have such high quality, it was an absolute joy to spend the week here with want of nothing (except perhaps some sunshine!). The views are stunning and it was breathtaking to watch the waves during the storm and see what a difference some hours made in the weather. The hot tub was a welcome treat and made the relaxing even more enjoyable, especially after trips out in the wet. Our host Jan was amazing, very thoughtful and communicative and it was a relief to know that she was on hand should there be an issue, but there was not. Jan & Julian have put a lot of thought and effort (and from the sounds of it blood, sweat and tears too) into making this property truly outstanding. The location is also fabulous, particularly if you love trains, beaches and sea. We cannot recommend this property highly enough and we have already recommended this to all our friends and hope to organise another visit in the future. This property really is one of the special ones and if you get the opportunity to stay, it really is a must! Thank you Jan & Julian for making this a holiday to remember.
Hi Michele, The storm was pretty epic during your stay! Thank you for your lovely feedback and kind words, it means a lot, especially personal recommendations to friends and family. Thank you for choosing to stay at Haul A Gwynt and we hope to welcome you back again. All the best, Jan & Julian Property Owner

"Absolutely stunning property, in a fantastic location."
The refurb they have achieved with this house is outstanding, and it shows even more so once you're there. All the fittings and furnishings are really tasteful and of a high standard. You can tell the work that has gone into refurbishing this old house into what you see today, there's been no expense spared in the fit and finish, and they have turned this place into a real gem of a property to stay at Criccieth. Jan (the owner) was great with communication just before our stay, wishing us a safe trip, and sending us lots of info on places to eat/visit which was extremely helpful. And also on arrival, and leaving the property, she was in touch via text to make sure we were happy with everything. It was great assurance knowing she was available should we have any issues, so we could speak directly with her, but thankfully, we didn't need a thing. There were no issues during our entire stay at the house. We had fresh milk and eggs, a bottle of bubbly, Welsh cakes etc which were a nice touch on our arrival. The house was immaculate, as were the grounds outside. You'll get used to the little bunnies roaming around the garden too! Which was a nice surprise! New TV's with sky (including sports) and strong solid WiFi (around 50mbps), off street parking on the drive were all very welcome amenities too. We had sun and rain with 50-60mph winds during our 1 week stay, but whatever the weather you will have a fantastic time at this property. The views from the balcony at any time of day/night are outstanding. The beds and sofa's were really comfortable. Plenty of dishes, glasses etc for cooking. And the hot tub quickly became part of our daily routine! The only real problem I had with this house was leaving it at the end of our stay! Thanks for everything Jan, and good luck with the house for the future!
Hi Stephen, I am so happy you enjoyed yourselves, rain and shine. The wind is great for wave watching at least! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your lovely review and kind words, I really appreciate it. Hope to welcome you back again in the future. All the best, Jan & Julian Property Owner

"Just home from a week’s stay at this wonderful property."
Where to begin…the house is fabulous, beautifully furnished, with a wonderful ‘New England style’ wrap around deck and balcony overlooking the sea that we used every day thanks to the glorious weather we had all week. Two of the bedrooms have their own balconies, and given the warm weather, we kept the doors open and drifted to sleep to the sound of the sea. Cricceith is ideally located for exploring Snowdonia, Anglessey, Conwy and much more, and the biggest surprise for us were the beaches along the west Wales coastline (Harlech), with views rivalling some of those that you’d see along the Great Sur in California. Haul A Gwynt was the perfect place for our family holiday.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, your wonderful comments are much appreciated! We are so happy you enjoyed your holiday at Haul A Gwynt, with the bonus of the amazing weather too! Thanks again, Jan & Julian Property Owner

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"
A stunning, luxurious house in a beautiful location very close to the beach and the pretty town. The house, with gorgeous big bedrooms, spacious and comfortable lounge and kitchen, clean and modern bathrooms, is really well equipped with everything you could need (and more!). The hot tub and sun deck were the icing on the cake! The owners thought of everything to make our stay special - even down to suggestions for restaurants (which were all fabulous). We had an amazing holiday and this was by far the best accommodation we’ve ever stayed in in the UK
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your amazing review and for your kind words! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your holiday with us, it really makes our day! Warm wishes, Jan & Julian Property Owner
