The views, the privacy, the architecture, the very comfortable beds are all amazing at Cefyn Castell. We were also very grateful for the welcome pack supplied - milk, bread, snacks etc. It is a five to ten minute walk to the beach and we swam every day - the water was surprisingly warm. It's also a lovely 20 minute walk into Criccieth where you'll find the fantastic Castle Fish & Chip shop, the lovely sea front restaurant, Dylan's and Cadwaladers for great coffee and desserts. We loved our stay there and would love to return at some point.
It feels like the property isn't being brilliantly maintained and although very clean inside looked a bit tired and scruffy - especially some of the outside areas, plus exterior paintwork and some of the glass panels. Then a few interior maintenance bits - toilet roll holders hanging off walls, freezer needed defrosting, the side gate not working (the house key stuck in the lock!) We also had an unfortunate flying ant invasion in one of the bedrooms - but Finest Retreats were quick to respond. Some of the house/check out instructions also weren't very clear.
It does say in the description that the garden isn't necessarily secure for dogs or children, and there's a big drop to the beach below, but it looks like it wouldn't take too much effort to block off the small gaps that dogs or kids could get through? Just a thought.
