Superb House

The house is absolutely fantastic and met all our needs. We were a party of 7 adults and 2 dogs. The house was clean, comfortable, spacious with excellent cooking facilities. The outside area was ideal for the dogs and secure. The patio area and BBQ were ideal for our stay. The view from thd house is outstanding, overlooking the bay and Criccieth Castle. We had one issue with the cooker which was dealt with in a swift and professional manner. Overall, this is the best house we have stayed in, and we are looking forward to our return next year.

Holiday with friends

We were a group of four couples and a dog. The property was plenty big enough for us all. Great location with lovely views from the front. Enough private parking for at least four cars. Would recommend.

A great stay at Pengolwg.

We booked Pengolwg for 9 of us - us, our three sons and their partners and our granddaughter. It was ideal, giving us each our own space and plenty of communal space. It was in a lovely location with a great view over the bay and Criccieth Castle. We loved sitting in the snug area by the living room window. The dining room was plenty big enough for all of us and the kitchen was well equipped. The treats left for us were very welcome too! There were good walks along the beach and the nearby hills and plenty of places to eat and have a coffee and cake. We enjoyed trips out to Mt Snowdon, Portmerrion and the nearby Rabbit Farm. I'd definitly recommend Pengolwg and would love to return.

Special anniversary holiday

Recently came home after a fantastic week at Pengolwg in Criccieth. The house had lots of space for all of us (six adults and three children), with fantastic views over Cardigan Bay. The location was great with walking distance access to beaches, restaurants, shops and Criccieth Castle. Would recommend Dylan's Restaurant and Castle fish and chip shop. Ample car parking spaces. The kitchen is well equipped with all the utensils you need. Only a couple of points, there was a lack of countertops for meal preparation and a lack of pint glasses for beers. All the bedrooms are of a good size and plenty of bathrooms / on-suits, so no concerns there. There were lots of seats outside and the front garden overlooking the sea was south facing. The reason for a score of three on the condition is because some of the walls especially in the lounge areas could do with a freshening up. But this did not deter from us enjoying the house. For a large group with or without children I would definately recommend Pengolwg.
