The property is frequently described as comfortable and cosy, with a welcoming atmosphere. However, a few guests mentioned issues with hot bedrooms and wobbly kitchen chairs, slightly impacting the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-stocked kitchen, games, and a snooker room.

Nant y Wyddan is in such a great spot. Just a short stroll from the beach, castle, coastal path and not to mention all the shops, cafes and restaurants that Criccieth has to offer. You really would have no reason to get in the car.

Staying in autumn we were comfortably warm, cosy and felt we had a home for the week. The house is very well equipped and the games room was a big bonus. Criccieth is a great base for the coast and exploring inland. It has plenty to offer in the town and still retains its traditional character. The views from the house we a special delight.
Caroline
The rooms were spacious with clean white linen on comfortable beds.Located in a nice quite position.On the negative side we found that the kitchen chairs were very wobbly and uncomfortable and so used the dining room instead.Also found that the bay window curtains nearly impossible to draw.It was also a shame that the snooker room was to small to have a decent game of snooker in the dark evenings.The worse thing was the unacceptable state of the pantry window which was covered in black mould and the items in the window it looked liked it had not been cleaned in months, very off putting in an area connected with food.
Anna
It is well equipped, comfortable and well maintained. We liked the improvements made to the sitting room with the new floor! The âlook outâ window is popular with the whole family and we love the view of the sea and castle. The selection of books was enjoyed by the children as were the games. Very nice to stay in a house which is loved and well cared for!
