Bed was so comfortable, loved the fizz and off road parking was a bonus. Just the relaxing break we needed. Explored the local area and found some little gems. Its the unexpected places and people you meet which makes it all so fascinating.

"Holly Cottage is a very comfortable and homely accommodation."
It is well equipped, has a beautiful bathroom and bedroom with a cosy living room and a nice sized kitchen. It is private and yet near to the main road, shops, public transport, beach and all other amenities. It is also a good base to be able to explore the wider area with brilliant accessibility to attractions further afield.

Lovely host and hostess made us very welcome. Recommend the tapas restaurant especially the sharing platter, steak, chicken, sausage, chunky chips, salad.£25 excellent value, very friendly staff, chief came out to make sure all good. Fish and chip shop on high street again good value. Definitely going back.

"Nice little cottage in a good location."
Comfortable bed and all we needed in the kitchen. Fairly comfortable sofa. The overall cleanliness of the cottage could of been better. It also needed a shelf in the shower as everything had to go on the floor.
-

The bottle of wine was a lovely touch. Close to the local shops A good base to explore the area. Would visit again.
-
"I have stayed at this site previously and it is just right for my needs."
Knowing the area well, it is ideally situated for the places I visit. I stayed in early spring when the weather is still changeable and knowing I would be going back to a warm and comfortable premises after a day out in the rain and cold was comforting. The welcome gift of a bottle of wine was also much appreciated. Will definitely be looking to stay again in the summer when I venture North again.

"A lovely cottage in a great location, close to the beach and the town but very quiet."
The cottage was very comfortable with everything you might need for a stay. The gift on arrival was a lovely thought.
-
"Fantastic location and beautifully decorated."
Really appreciated the Prosecco it was a lovely gesture. It would have been useful if there was a small vacuum cleaner and mop, also a full length mirror and access to the plug sockets in the bedroom. Would recommend to others.
-
"We happy with the accommodation, but couldn’t use the huge garden at the back as there was a sign on the gate saying Private."
It was such a glorious week weather wise we would have loved to have had tea out there. It’s not the same sitting on a driveway.
-
"Well sited near the town centre."
Nicely presented with pleasant bathroom and suitable for a couple. Off street parking offered but sometimes difficult to manoeuvre into if all visitors cars present. Major weakness was outdated washing machine with no drier, albeit a rack for drying wet clothes. At the price charged something better would be expected
-
"What a lovely little gem minutes from the beach."
Very well equipped, super comfy bed, great shower, spotless. Will recommend to friends.
-
"Holly Cottage is a delightful holiday venue with everything needed for an enjoyable stay."
All furniture and fittings are of a high standard and the relaxing ambience is enhanced by the colour coordinated soft furnishings and tasteful decorations/accessories throughout the cottage. The owners, Jamie and Eirien, are welcoming, friendly and always willing to advise and help with any queries on the local area.

"The accommodation was absolutely fine."
The location was great and the cottage was warm, cosy and comfortable. We thought that, perhaps instead of the bottle of wine, enough toilet paper, soap and washing up liquid could have been provided.
-

We would most definitely recommend.
-

"Ideally placed for touring North Wales and Snowdonia, Llyn Peninsula and coastal path."
A view of the sea and Criccieth Castle an added bonus. Shops and restaurants within walking distance. A very comfortable cottage with everything required for a pleasant stay. It was good to have a parking space close by too.
-
"Holly Cottage is so comfortable with everything you need for a home from home holiday."
We were very impressed with the lovely modern furnishings and decoration. In a great position with a five minute stroll to the beautiful beach and very close to shops and amenities. There is so much to see within a short drive in this beautiful area. We were very lucky with amazing weather and maximised it to the full but there are still places to come back and see. Great holiday.
-
"We arrived to a pleasant welcome from the owners."
The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Good location. Across the road is the beach. Also good to explore other towns. We went to Abersoch. Aberdaron and Portmeirion. Early booking essential for Dylan’s. The Poachers restaurant is now a takeaway. Very good value for money. We had a very good week. One day of rain.
-
"The driveway was awful for the parking due to a 7ft wall, narrow entrance,could not see to get out safely onto the main road, also could not see it there were any pedestrians approaching."
We'd like to point out to any future guests that the entrance to Holly cottage was extended earlier this year by over 2 ft allowing ample space in and out. We are sorry that Mr Tolmie found this difficult to do. This issue has never been reported by any previous guests. Property Owner

"Excellent location."
Less than 5 minutes walk to the beach and Criccieth town centre. Would be happy to revisit in the future.
-
"A nice well presented cottage in a lovely location for the Llyn peninsular and Snowdonia."
Very close to the beach with private parking and easy access to Criccieth makes this a superb location.
-
"The cottage is beautiful,and very clean and fresh ,the people that own the cottage are friendly and helpful, it's just a short distance to the beach and shops ,the beach is clean and family friendly."
Criccieth is an ideal place to visit the beautiful surrounding area,I would recommend Holly cottage it's a great little place for a holiday for two.
-
"Although we had concerns about the recent reviews and had emailed sykes about these and they didn't reply to us we were happy with the accommodation."
It was as it said on the box. A nice cosy cottage and clean and we had no complaints. We would certainly stay there again.

"The cottage is lovely at first sight BUT as we settled in there were one or two things that we noticed."
1. The small settee is so uncomfortable and creaky. It may be OK for very small people but not large enough for two tall ones. 2. At first sight all looked really clean but the mould in the bedroom and bathroom plus the lower down dust on skirting boards, bed frame and chairs worried me. I appreciate it is the end of the season and cleaners only have a certain amount of time to tackle main cleaning jobs but mould is not good. 3. The internet was useless. I take it this is a problem for everyone, but BT should be doing a better job.
THIS PROPERTY HAS RECENTLY BEEN FULLY RENOVATED FOR 2020. Thank you for your comments, and for staying at our little cottage we will certainly look into the points. You raised and take action to improve the comfort and cleanliness for all our guests, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

"Starting with the positives, 10 out of 10 for location, ideal for visiting lots of places and lively walks around criccieth."
The negatives the cottage isn't really a cottage it's a box. Yes we expected cosy which is fine but we wanted warm, homely and comfortable. This wasn't. The long list of do not do things didn't bode well. Damp and cold, we woke up to damp clothes even tho we had excellent weather we did put the heating on although the weather didn't warrant this. The bathroom is damp and in need of a revamp. No shelf in the shower to put anything with the sloping floor everything ended up in the shower tray! The kitchen is adequate but couldn't really cook a meal from scratch. Sorry Sykes this isn't really up to your usual standards but we did have a lovely time visiting this area despite the moans.
THIS PROPERTY HAS RECENTLY BEEN FULLY RENOVATED FOR 2020. It's very disappointing to hear that you didn't find the cottage as cosy as other clients have, and that you were unable to cook a meal from scratch as the kitchen is fully equipped to do so, if you needed any additional items they could of been provided. Thank you for letting us know your thoughts about the shower, we will look into putting a shelf in. We have not had a guest who has stayed in the lodge mention about it being damp and cold so I'm sorry to hear you feel this way, we will take a look into this further. However, we're happy to hear that you found the location and surrounding areas lovely. Property Owner

"Lovely clean cottage in a fantastic location for beach, castle, walks, eating and drinking establishments."
Only criticism was lack of towels - 1 hand towel and 1 bath towel each for a week. There was nowhere inside the cottage to dry towels - fortunately the weather was good and we could dry them on the washing line outside.
