Maes y Mor is well equipped with kitchen pottery,cutlery etc.

Maes y Mor is well equipped with kitchen pottery,cutlery etc.Fridge,freezer,washer all good.The cooker is very slow to heat both oven and top plates.All towels and linen very clean,the general cleanliness of the house was good but some windows and mirrors smeared(possible pets on windows).Plants in property some of which looked tired and bit brown.Small shower room needs more ventilation and shower dripped also floor in passageway has wobbly bump in it!The cottage is a good point for visiting Criccieth and surrounding areas but decor and furnishings need to be kept refreshed as a lot of bookings and so a lot of people going through and using same constantly. These comments are meant as positive feedback to help future bookers and bookings!

Lovely spacious cottage/bungalow in a great location.

Lovely spacious cottage/bungalow in a great location. The only near neighbour is Dylan's restaurant, which was fairly busy whilst we were there but we weren't in any way disturbed by its activities or patrons. Having Dylan's close by was also a bonus as we had a food delivery the first night we were in the cottage and were able to pop back to the cottage from Dylan's when the delivery tuned up early. There is a traintrack right at the back of the cottage, which I don't think is mentioned in any of the holiday cottage letting websites, but there are only about six two-carriage trains a day, so it wasn't something that was particularly disturbing, especially not as all but one of the bedrooms, and all the seating areas are all to the front of the cottage. A public footpath also runs along the cottage side of the railway track too. Given that the cottage allows guests of the four legged furry variety the standard of cleanliness was brilliant, you certainly wouldn't have known any dogs had been there, and as dog owners ourselves, we wouldn't have booked this cottage if it hadn't accommodated dogs. We were incredibly blessed that our visit to the cottage co-incided with a week of stunning weather which meant we spent most our time in the cottage sitting out on the raised patio taking in the view of the mountains and the sea. The kitchen is well equipped with a lot of what you'd need for a comfortable stay including a dishwasher, microwave and range style cooker etc. The only thing we couldn't find was something to brew filter coffee in. There was a Nespresso machine but we didn't know this until we got to the cottage and had already pre-ordered filter coffee. It wasn't a huge problem but a cafetiere would have been helpful. Bedding and towels were provided but we used our own when we went to the beach. The garden was nice for the dogs to laze in, but if you have ones that like to take themselves off on little adventures, the wooden gate to the property is fairly easily escapable from so if you have dogs that might slip between the bars of the gate, you'll either need to keep a constant eye on them or you might want to take along some garden type mesh to tie to the gate. At the outset the owner does explain that he can't guarantee that the garden is fully dog proofed. We bought 3.5 meters of mesh from a garden centre the first day we were there that we tied to the bottom half of the gate and it worked a treat. All in all, we had a lovely week in the cottage and the location right by the sea with so few neighbours around was a real blessing.
