"Property was situated in a lovely spot."
Perfect for exploring the village and very handy for local amenities. View was amazing and outdoor sitting area was fantastic. Sofa was very comfortable and we felt very at home upstairs. I've only scored it a 4 as there were some minor issues that wouldn't cost a lot that would have made it a 5 easily. The mattresses and bedding weren't of a great quality. If these were improved, it would have made a big difference. Also, there were some maintenance issues that needed addressing and again, minor but you'd expect these to be dealt with swiftly to avoid a bigger problem.

"Very comfortable and well equipped property."
Bedrooms are spacious and airy. The upstairs open plan living area is great with patio doors opening onto the balcony. The balcony is ideal for a relaxing drink after a day's exploring, taking in the view over the bay, with Criccieth Castle one way and Black Rock Sands the other.

"Excellent position for simply gazing at the sea and enjoying the sun."
Very well equipped, clean and comfortable property. Parking for two cars very useful. As two single travellers we particularly liked having a double bed each and separate bathroom facilities. Local eating facilities useful.

"We have just had a wonderful week’s holiday at Ty Glyn."
The property was spotlessly clean, extremely well-equipped and comfortable, and one of the best holiday rentals we have had. The location is superb, and we were able to make good use of the balcony and wonderful sea view. Criccieth itself is a lovely little town and a perfect base for exploring the region.

"We had a lovely holiday in a great property with fab views,the weather was very windy at times,one window in en suite room needed attention as the draft was dreadful,also draft came through patio door."
Kitchen floor also needs some attention as it creaks badly. These are things that need dealing with as they will only get worse,which is a shame for a fabulous property in an amazing spot.

"Fabulous stay for Christmas."
The house is even better than the photos. Well equipped, comfortable and the views are stunning. Thank you for responding so quickly to the heating issue.

"Update waste disposal instructions and heating switch on ."
We are sorry to hear that you had a two issues while staying at Ty Glyn. With respect to waste disposal, there are blue Council recycling bins at the back of the house, they clearly indicate paper, glass, metal and plastic, compostible food waste goes in the small brown bin (bags provided) and everything else goes in the large green Council rubish bin. The housekeeper puts these bins to the curb on the appropriate collection day. We will revisit the instructions to ensure that this is clear. With respect to heating, there are six pre-programmed thermostats for the under floor heating, they should have been on at your arrival. In addition, there are on demand wall heaters in the bedrooms, these do need to be turned on, and there is a towel warmer in the main bath, and this too needs to be turned on by visitors. We checked with our housekeeper, and she did not hear from you regarding these matters, which she would have been able to readily respond to. Again, we are sorry that you had these concerns.

"We’ve booked through Menai cottages many many times and we’ve only ever had hassle free holidays."
From booking to arrival there’s never any problems whatsoever. It was our 2nd stay at Ty Glyn and it was as good as our 1st time. Comfortable, clean, ideally located etc. The only problem we had was…that we had to leave. Thank you Menai for another stress free holiday. You could perhaps give other travel/holiday companies tips on how to treat customers!. Kind regards Simon

"I loved my stay at Ty Glyn, it had everything I needed, was clean, comfortable and the kitchen was really well stocked."
The highlight is the view, perfect in good and bad weather. Will definitely book again.

"Superb holiday let best one we’ve been in."
Kitchen facilities were spot on apart from the dishwasher not working correctly, however I managed to realise what the problem was and soon got it working properly. One slight niggle is in the separate bathroom, one of the fixings for the toilet seat needs attention, it requires tightening since the seat slides about. All in all a great time was had and will probably be back again next year. Criccieth is definitely the jewel in Liŷn peninsula thoroughly recommend a visit.

"Loved it. We'll be back."

Ty Glyn we had an amazing week there the views were outstanding a very well looked after property easy to get to will definitely go back in the future

"Lovely holiday cottage that is beautifully decorated, extremely clean and warm with plenty of utensils etc and even a slow cooker."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. The view from the lounge and balcony is ever changing, great walks directly from the door and lots of places to visit.

"Premium rental fee but unfortunately, budget IKEA furniture and Pound Shop accessories."
If you are charging rent of £1000’s per week, please furnish the apartment accordingly with quality comfortable furniture I’ve seen better student accommodation. Kitchen well equipped but overall maintenance needed of blinds and French doors to balcony as they are stuck and difficult to open. Overall - price not matched by quality of furnishings. Disappointing.
Many thanks for your feedback, it is always appreciated when guests leave their comments, it steers us and our owners in the right direction as far as what we are all are trying to achieve, namely guest satisfaction. Our owners have looked at the blind and repaired it . It was the chain that has now been repaired and the owners will check with the house keeper to make sure that she uses some lubrication on the balcony doors, as whilst affording great views, are susceptible to the prevailing weather, which was particularly inclement over the Christmas and New Year, which we feel impacted on the Patio doors. The feedback for this property has been historically very favourable and your review will help us in trying to keep our standards up. The Menai Holiday Team Property Owner

"Having been coming to Criccieth for many many years, staying at our caravan site, I've always wanted to stay in one of these beautiful places on the front - what a DREAM."
Listening to the waves crashing whilst reading a book on the sofa is the exact weekend we were after to celebrate my 27th birthday my 'boyfriend' booked the place as a suprise and shortly after arriving asked to go for a walk to the pier to stretch our legs after the two hour drive. He then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! It was the perfect weekend to become his fiance and to spend the rest of the weekend in this gorgeous home was the perfect way to spend our time during the 'engagement bubble'. It will forever be a special spot for us - Thank you!
-
"Absolutely beautiful."
. everything you could ask for .. just wished time could have slowed down our week went so quick. Hope to be back soon .. thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful house xx
Thank you so much for your kind words, of course we will be happy to welcome you back to Ty Glyn. Property Owner

"Amazing stay - great location and absolutely stunning views!"
! Can highly recommend
-
"Ty Glyn is a wonderful property to stay in."
...a real home from home. Everything you need is catered for. It is in an ideal location & the views are fantastic. So pleased with it we have booked again for 2023
-
"This was our third stay at Ty Glyn and we were again impressed by the cleanliness and condition of the house."
None of the furniture or equipment show signs of wear - a well designed and well maintained property in which it is a pleasure to stay.
-
"TY Glyn is bright, clean and comfortably furnished with wonderful views of the Beach front of Criccieth."
It has a kitchen that is well equipped with all the utensils you could need including a slow cooker if you wanted to have a meal ready on your return from a Day out. If you don't want to cook then Ty Glyn is close enough to numerous Cafe's, Restaurants and Take Away outlets for you to enjoy. Emma, the caretaker lives close by and is always available to advise and help if you are unsure how to work the Washing Machine, cooker etc. This is a wonderful property and would highly recommend.

"It was a lovely stay."
We left a message that the shower door was not fitting properly and the morning before we left it came off it's hinges totally but given the quality of the let we're sure that this will be addressed.
-
"Spacious, comfortable, warm, clean, well equipped and of course a fantastic view of the beach, castle and sea."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"Lovely property, most of all very clean"
-
"Everything we wanted."
Central position, off street parking, good WiFi, pet free. The views were wonderful and the underfloor heating a bonus. A grab rail in the family bathroom shower would be useful and a hook or shelf in the ensuite shower for putting soap/shower gel. Otherwise fabulous.

"Nice well-equipped house with mostly* great views, but unfortunately noisy at times so it didn’t make for a relaxing holiday."
If I’d known there were going to be building works next door I wouldn’t have booked, but by the time I was made aware it was too late to do anything about it so we just hoped it wouldn’t cause any problems. However, building started at 8am or just before most weekdays, and largely consisted of loud banging and sawing until around 4-4:30pm, so although we planned to visit other places during our stay we were more or less forced out of the house regardless. Although the view directly facing the sea was unspoiled, you couldn’t unsee the unsightly scaffolding when looking left on the balcony, nor ignore the traffic accessing the public carpark next door to the house, although the latter wasn’t an issue after about 6pm. Last but not least, the house backs onto a railway line, but to be fair this is mentioned in the property description. What isn’t mentioned is that the first train is 6:45am apart from Sunday’s, then hourly, and it didn’t fail to wake us up. Then we snoozed til the next one, then weekdays had to get up when the builders started. Glad to be home for a rest, although still enjoyed the rest of our stay at weekends and after 5pm...

"The view was perfect and although the accommodation is in a car park this didn’t affect us at all."
Spotlessly clean and really well equipped. We would return if it hadn’t gone up £400 next year
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Ty Glyn. Please do keep an eye out for your chosen weeks...the pricing is constantly changing. Property Owner

"Lovely house in a wonderfull location with great sea views which change every day with the weather ."
Everything you could possibly need for your self catering holiday. However be prepared for the 6.45 am train every morning if you can sleep through that your a better person than me. .Also at the moment you have the builders next door if the train doesnt wake you up the builders will as they arrive about 8.00am banging and sawing and playing loud music all day it will be nice to go home and have some peace and quiet .
We are extremely happy that you loved the house and the fantastic sea views. Criccieth is a great location with its 2 beaches, castle and wide selection of shops and places to eat and drink. We are sorry that you found yourself to be disturbed. We have made special note of certain things on the website to alert anyone who might be looking for a more quiescent setting. Property Owner

"We had a truly wonderful week in Criccieth, which to a large extent, was afforded to us by the wonderful accommodation that we had at Ty Glyn."
Everything provided was clean and tidy and the facilities met our every need. No hesitation in recommending this place and we are looking forward to booking it again
-
"I would like to say that it was terrible so no one else will go there but I have to very honest it was as near as perfect as it could be."
The view even on a very windy and wet day was spectacular. The accommodation had everything you could want. Had a small problem with the WI'FI but Emma and son where round in 5 minutes to resolve the problem. Will definitely return. Jane & Trevor

"Wonderful location and great for people watching!"
But quiet and were not disturbed. Inside the house was all we expected given the write up. Ideal place for touring around and great for walking. Have to praise the cleaning at this time.. felt very happy when we went inside and everything was spotless.

"The accommodation at Ty Glyn in Criccieth was truly exceptional!"
This is our second visit and we will be booking it again for next year. I really must add that whoever cleans and prepares this apartment for guests is just wonderful! Everywhere was sparkling clean..... something which is very important to me! The apartment is homely with nice touches and very spacious. I couldn’t think of a single negative. Thank you to Menai Holidays, the owner of the property and especially the cleaner (s)....... see you next year!!!

"Very modern, well appointed, well equipped and good quality appliances."
We loved sitting in the lounge area and looking out to sea watching the changing landscape of sea and clouds and some sunshine! The house is perfectly located for walks on the beach either side of the castle and inland.

The property
Ty Glyn is a holiday cottage in Criccieth, on the Llyn Peninsula, that commands the most incredible sea views!

Ty Glyn makes the most of the incredible sea views by having the bedrooms downstairs and the open plan living space upstairs.
You are welcomed into a spacious hallway that has lots of storage.
Stairs take you up to the amazing open living area that includes the kitchen, dining & sitting areas.
Underfloor heating in here keeps things cosy in the colder months. The sitting area is spacious and has floor to ceiling windows and doors that lead out onto the veranda.
Through these and on the veranda you can take in beautiful and ever-changing sea views!
There’s a cosy corner sofa, a Smart TV and DVD player.
You can also sign in to your own Netflix and Amazon accounts.
The contemporary kitchen has all you need for cooking up tasty meals - a micro-grill, electric hob and oven with exterior fan, 5 shelf fridge and three drawer freezer, dishwasher, washer, dryer, iron and ironing board.

An additional day bed can be made up by prior request. The gorgeous balcony comprises your outside space.
It has toughened glass sides which keeps the sea breezes at bay so you can enjoy uninterrupted sea views over Cardigan Bay.
We especially recommend sitting out here with a glass of wine and soaking up the sunsets.
There is parking for two cars outside the holiday cottage but there is a car park to the front of the house if you need it. From Ty Glyn you can walk along the promenade into the centre of Criccieth.
Here you’ll find a castle, great places to eat and drink including good old ice cream and fish and chips!
You can also browse around the shops on the high street or head to the coastal path which is almost on your doorstep.
