Relaxing stay

Very relaxing stay at a comfortable house. There was 6 of us and 3 dogs staying and there was plenty of room. Lovely sea views and so close to the beach. Beautiful garden which we would of used more if we had stayed during the summer.

Very relaxed holiday

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bella Vista. Plenty of room for six of us and small dog. Very comfortable and well equipped. A stones throw from Dylan's restaurant and the best bit of beach in Criccieth. Great base for paddle boarding and kayaking. Would definitely return.

A wonderful spot to feel fully rejuvenated!

What a beautiful family sized home, with the most epic view. I woke every morning and watched the sunrise and spent every evening watching it go down behind the castle. Our group consisted of a range of ages from 5 to 67 including 3 teenagers and everyone had a wonderful time. The table tennis was a perfect activity to use excess energy of an evening. The patio was a perfect book reading spot and we were in driving distance of some amazing spots in North Wales that we had on our bucket list. There are some areas looking a little tired but overall the house felt clean and cared for. We would certainly come again. Also the Oyster Holidays team were really responsive and flexible when we contacted them. That really made our stay top notch. Thanks for a wonderful holiday!

Great view from the house

Lovely short break at Bella Vista, second time staying there. Very comfortable and has everything you need. We especially loved the short walk to the beach with the dog. Would recommend

A truly stunning location

What a beautiful place this is! We had a week of stunning weather and even more stunning views. The whole family had a wonderful week. The proximity of the house to the beach, in particular, was a hit with everybody. The accommodation had everything we needed and, overall, the house was extremely comfortable. The garden is absolutely beautiful and fabulous for children and dogs. There are elements of the house, however, that would benefit from just a bit of TLC… the kitchen, in particular, was a little bit tired and could be better equipped. Overall, we would thoroughly recommend a stay at Bella Vista.

Lovely house in stunning location

A really comfortable spacious house with plenty of room for six adults and two dogs. Beautiful views over the sea and a great dog friendly beach. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and large secure garden. Short walk into the town and only a five minute walk to Dylans restaurant.

Excellent sea and castle views

Cant fault the location and views. Although we booked for 6x adults the main seating really only accommodates 5x supplemented with some large bean bags. Games room was added advantage for fun when weather was adverse

House

Enjoyed a lovely week in this beautiful house. A little information regarding bins would have been helpful. Also a guest book to enable us to leave our comments would be nice.

An excellent place to stay, but in need of a little attention.

Bella Vista is a comfortable family home in an excellent location with wonderful views, and the kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed our stay so much last year that we returned this summer, and we would happily stay there again. That said, we thought the house is starting to be in need of some attention. It is still very clean, but the staircase paintwork is well worn now, the kitchen oven, microwave and some of the tiles are due a deep clean, and some of the bedroom furniture/ fittings need fixing. We cleaned the worst of the tiles( by the dishwasher), and mended one of the twin bedroom drawers, but the rest was beyond us. We also cleaned some of the windows, but again, they could do with more attention - I imagine some of this is difficult to arrange, but it’s a shame to spoil the lovely views with dirty windows. I would still recommend this as a lovely holiday location, but with a little attention it would be perfect. And having stayed during the first heatwave, we realised that a garden shade would be welcome too!

Bella Vista lives up to its name!

The house has excellent views and couldn’t be better placed for the beach, the front and local shops and restaurants. Some small areas are showing signs of use, but overall it is a comfortable house in good condition, light and spacious. We were a party of four though, eight people might feel a little cramped around the television. We would happily return, our stay was definitely one of our best holidays.

Criccieth holiday

The house was in a great location. It was clean and comfortable and lovely sea views. A cafetière wasn’t available but customer service sorted it after a day or so. Great to have table tennis room and huge garden. A smart to would have been better as this one worked through a fire stick and no instructions left. Mostly very positive experience by whole family.

Our stay at Bella Vista

Good sized house and garden with lovely sea views. Unfortunately a few minor issues let this property down. The main one being the wifi isn't adequate enough to support the non-terrestrial tv and other devices being used atvthe same time. The main bathroom needs a toilet seat that fits the toilet as the one currently on doesn't fit properly and is too small. One bin liner isn't sufficient for a week and there was no hand soap in bathrooms or toilet. This is the first holiday let we have stayed in with no welcome pack or information pack . If these minor issues were put right this would be make the property more home from home. However, the table tennis set was a hit with the teenagers.

Lovely family house in a great locatoon

Bella Vista is a lovely family house in a great position. It is located in a quiet cul de sac overlooking the pitch and put golf course and sauna. They hire canoes and SUPs in the Summer too. There are stunning views of the castle and it is a couple of minutes walk from the beach. Sea views from upstairs are lovely and it is a warm and cosy house. Off road parking is good. Large garden. The table tennis table was much appreciated. There is not much lounge seating if there are 8 of you but there are plenty of dining chairs and some pouffes and giant bean bags. There is only one TV (fire stick channels only) - a second TV may be useful for some? Be aware there is also only one shower (although there is also a lovely bath with a handheld shower in the other bathroom). Didn’t find any information on arrival (such as when to put bins out, wifi code, suggestions for places to visit etc) as we have in other properties but we contacted Oyster Holiday Cottages and had swift and professional responses. There was no welcome pack either (not promised but again it was the first property we have stayed in that didn’t have anything at all on arrival. Most places have left a few basics such as milk/tea and coffee or wine/biscuits etc). No visitor book. Lovely walk to shops and restaurants and the railway station. Pleasant walks from the house along the coast and inland. A great base for touring locally or for days out further afield on the Llyn Peninsula, Snowdonia, and Anglesey. We hope to return as it’s a great family house for an extended family holiday. Thank you.
