Everything with Craig-y-Mor was exceptional. The room, the facilities, the hosts, the food, and the bed was amazing!! I've just had the best 2 nights sleep I've had in a very long time.
I would definitely stay here again. I'm still here writing this and I don't want to leave.

Host was helpful in supplying info in advance.
Host was helpful in supplying info in advance. Cottage was well placed for visiting the Llyn Peninsula. However, although the cottage was clean, there was an extremely musty smell which hit us as soon as we arrived and proved impossible to clear. It may have been damp. Also, although there was parking, the entrance to the drive way is quite narrow and certainly difficult to access as it is right on a bend in a busy road. As others have reported, the bed in the main bedroom is rather springy and a bit uncomfortable.

criccieth is a very small quiet place and facilities for eating out are very limited, especially if you have not had time to pre book.
All throughout the area some restaurants do not do food on mondays others not on a tuesday. we often had to travel into Porthmadog to eat.
Criccieth is very scenic, there is a lovely spot down by the bay by the castle to try to spot the Dolphins.

Criccieth is a pleasant quiet town with a nice beach and some individual shops, restuarants, hotels and plenty of cafes. It is a very good place to journey out from for the day.
It is easy to walk around and the castle makes a lovely view by the sea.
We ate in the Prince of Wales. Standard pub food, nothing fancy. The scampi and chips was good and the staff friendly. Some interesting old photos in the pub as well as the history of the very old beam you can see in the upstairs dining area.
We had a birthday meal at the Caerwylan hotel. Our later (8pm) booking meant that within half an hour we were the only diners (everyone else had dined earlier). When I booked I emailed that it was a birthday celebration but was told it would depend on how many guests are in the earlier slot! I went ahead with the booking as I didn't want to drive anywhere. The food was nicely presented and the vegetables the best cooked I have eaten out for a long time,. My husband also highly rated the dessert. We were however disappointed with the lamb rump - mine was not that tender and somewhat fatty and some gristle. Little flavour. We have had lamb rump at a very good pub restaurant on Dartmoor and it had good flavour and tender. They also did not have oat milk which has become a common stock item in a lot or hotels, restaurants and cafes. We had to find a member of staff to pay the bill as we had coffee in the bar area and did not see anyone after that. We had to go and find a staff member! So Criccieth lovely but the 4 star rated hotel not brilliant.
We can recommend The Goat - recently refurbished - a lovely pub about 3 miles from Criccieth and apparently there is another one further up the coast near Nefyn which we will visit on our next stay.

While Criccieth isn't large, being based there gives you access to explore the whole of North Wales and make some excellent walking excursions in Snowdonia. Criccieth has an excellent beach and is a short drive from many other wonderful beaches. The castle is also a nice place to stop if you have a couple hours to spare.

The iris is a fantastic property .
The iris is a fantastic property . The views are absolutely amazing. Its next to the beach. Above the Cadwaladers and across from the fish and chip shop. What more could you want 😂 Parking is plentiful.
If you get the opportunity take a drive to Black Rock sands which you can drive on. The sunset from there is fantastic.
Mark and Louise were wonderful, kind, caring hosts. Very welcoming and helpful when asked about the area so we could find things to do. Breakfast was homemade by them, to order, brilliant quality of food and cooked with love. Friendly vibes, not noisy. Only a quite road between the front door and the beach. Free parking right outside. Incredibly convenient. Lovely town and people too, and lovely beaches. Criccieth Castle was good value for money too. I would def go back and I'd be using Awel Mor for my stay!
The location was amazing - lots of parking nearby with a picturesque view from the flat of Criccieth Castle. The Flat itself was modern and large with everything you could need for a lovely stay - thank you for the complimentary milk and biscuits. We really loved having tea and biscuits whilst admiring the view! There was a kitchen with pans, crockery, bathroom with towels and soap, a most comfortable bed with clean bedding.
The host was lovely and kind. It was so nice to meet her.
Location just what we expected - overlooking the sea with Criccieth castle very nearby, and a healthy amount of on road parking (out of high season at least). The accommodation was furnished and decorated to a high standard, and the basic fridge and cutlery / crockery provision assisted with takeaway meals brought back to the room. The basic tea, coffee, hot chocolate and porridge provision was appreciated. All information we needed was provided before we arrived.
Beautiful setting only a 5 minute drive to the beach/Criccieth Castle and a great base to explore north wales. The accommodation exceeded our expectations and has been refurbished to a high standard…the Netflix and board games were an added bonus as a family! The hosts were amazing and even gave us a lift to a local wedding venue. Communication prior to arrival was also excellent.
We had a fantastic relaxing stay… thank you!
The location of the property made it quiet and a perfect place to relax. However if we needed anything Criccieth and Porthmadog were close by. Our dog loved the garden and as it was fully enclosed we could let her run around freely. Everything we could need was available at the cottage and we could see that previous feedback from other holidaymakers had been acted on, which had made improvements to the cottage and the garden.
Mark and Louise infused our stay with care and quality... our room was spotless with e erything we needed for our short stay in Criccieth. The breakfast was excellent, top quality ingredients and presented with real hospitality... White linen, wonderful service and thoughtful extras like handwrapped and home made cake to help ourselves to as we left for the day... thank you both! We look forward to returning.
Room nice and clean and comfy bed. Enjoyed breakfast every morning. Guest house was good base to explore area and Criccieth was not far to walk to maybe 5 minutes. We enjoyed the Prince of Wales Pub and the curry restaurant. Plenty of places to eat. Hosts were informative on where to visit which helped us decide what to do on our stay.
The location was central to Criccieth so no car or transport needed while in town and plenty of various places to eat in town. The breakfast at the Lion Hotel was very good, hot with plenty of choices as well as their evening meal menu. A comfortable relaxing stay was had.
Amazing location, panoramic view of the mountains and sea. Spotless accommodation, beautifully kept gardens, easy to walk into Criccieth for shops and food etc. Best bit was sitting on the veranda watching the sun go down with the sea lapping at the shore.
The room was lovely, comfy beds, lovely location and incredibly clean. The hosts were so so lovely and nothing was a bother. The breakfast was also so yummy. We will definitely be staying again if we find ourselves in Wales again soon!
It was lovely and clean really friendly staff parking was great at back of hotel nice and safe as the lock it at night . Food in hotel was of a high standard breakfast and evening meal was fabulous. Would definitely stay again 👌🤙
Perfect location for exploring this part of North Wales. Spacious exceptionally clean room with lovely big bathroom. Delicious cooked breakfast cooked to order - us veggies were really looked after. Very welcoming and friendly too
The rooms were nice and big, I loved the bed, it was so comfy. Beautiful views, the restaurant made an amazing breakfast, so tasty! The rooms were spotless, so clean! The hotel was right across the beach
Great hosts, we were made to feel very welcome. Spacious, clean room and comfortable bed. Excellent breakfast. Great location near Criccieth Castle and also on the Welsh Coastal path for walking.
Big bright apartment in my favorite part of Wales, Criccieth. Stunning sea and castle views. I would definitely stay again. Off road Parking available too
