The hosts from the Cove were great and interesting people The place was very clean, quiet and cozy. Internet and TV was very good. Facilities were more than adequate. Tea, coffee, milk, cake and a home made car air freshener was provided. The location was exceptional and the views spectacular. The local village of Criccieth was quaint and welcoming with a good butcher and bakery.
I did not like the fluffy bed sheets. I overheat easily and found I had a rather sweaty sleep. But the rest of the family thought they were nice a toasty.

Beautiful property, quirky and fun and overlooking the sea and the castle. Beds were comfortable, the property had everything that was needed and the hosts were very responsive.
This is a minor detail but one i think should be considered. We stayed during winter and the bedding in all rooms was teddy style bedding, fleecy which was very hot and not comfortable for us in that the material is one that is like marmite, you either love it or hate it. Although my son loved it, we did not. We asked for different bedding and the hosts did do theor best and brought seperate top sheets and pillow cases however didnt have any further bottom sheets and it appeared that these might be there own personal sheets. I think that additional bedding should be provided within the property for differing reasons 1) as above as the teddy fleece material is a bold choice 2) if there had been an accident, spillage etc there would have been no sheets to change to especially given one room is set up for kids. As i say a minor detail but one that is worth considering. We however would definetely return.

Everything was just as it should be for a holiday. Even coffee tea milk and biscuits when we arrived.
The only negative for my husband was that the bed was too soft for him but that's a personal preference.( Didn't stop him sleeping though🤣)

Very clean, lots of touches/comforts of home, responsive hosts, it truly felt like they wanted us to enjoy our stay. The beds were comfortable, the location was magical… castle ruins, shoreline, restaurants all steps away. Great for our family of four.

The property was absolutely beautiful, everything we needed was there. Coffee, tea and cupcakes on arrival.
Charlotte and John, were amazing. Fully recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Criccieth. Close to all amenities and stunning views of the castle, from the seating area.

Location is fabulous, place was spotlessly clean. Hosts were just charming. Close to the best fish & chip shop in the nation. The village of Criccieth is really sweet, and a great base for Snowdownia. We really enjoyed this stay and would definitely come to the Cove again.
A rug or some other floor covering in the lounge would have given it a more cosy feel. Also the dining table was a little small for 4 people and the stools were quite basic. if you park out the back, be prepared to clean your car daily as the seagulls had a field day with mine.

loved it all.

Fantastic location, everything about The Cove was perfect. Enjoyed the seating area outside with the view of Criccieth Castle. The decor and arts around the home were beautiful. We can't wait to come back again. Thank you
Everything was perfect

Superb apartment in a great location for visiting Snowdonia. Well equipped and spotlessly clean. Fantastic views of Criccieth Castle. Private parking for 2 cars at the rear, which was great, particularly when there were lots of visitors using the on street parking. Would definitely visit and book again high recommended.
There is nothing to dislike.

Great place, close to the sea.
would stay again
Only blinds in the rooms so quite bright as soon as the sun rises
Double bed is very soft and bouncy, personally prefer something firmer.

The property was clean and modern, and was in a great location right near the beach and a short walk from the high street. There was a good amount of storage space and good kitchen facilities. Wonderful find!

Really lovely decor, the small details were brilliant, whoever decorated this property but a lot of thought and effort into it. My little boy loved the netting above the bed!

spotlessly clean, walking distance to town and beach, little touches like milk, cookies, fudge and wine
generally; the property is fine for a short stay when you’re not indoors a lot, it would feel claustrophobic for a longer stay.
specifically; thin, uncomfortable mattress and pillows, no instructions for heating so we were cold the whole time, no breadboard.

The location was great for us and the apartment is cosy, clean, has everything you need and is right by the beach.
The second bedroom is a little small although it didn't matter fir us only staying 3 nights and it would be fine for children.

Lovely location. Beds were very comfortable and rooms were spacious. Well equipped kitchen. Off road parking at the back of property made unpacking and packing the car very easy, there is street parking at the front but there are steps to go down to access the property. The Cove is very quiet at night and you can not hear any noise from the hotel above. Court yard at the front has plenty on seating and a great view of the castle. Very short walk to the beach, benches across the road from the property that over look the beach.
Short walk to the pubs and restaurants. Highly recommend the Poachers for dinner but booking is needed.
ideal location to be able to explore the Peninsula. will definitely visit again
Nothing we didn’t like

Loved the location, hosts next door were not intrusive but very friendly and helpful. Very cosy. Overall, a wonderful stay. We all loved it but the weather was superb so we were out most of the time.
Bit of a squeeze for 4 adults inside in the evening. Outdoor furniture could have been a bit more comfortable and cooking equipment was limited- though completely adequate for basic meals.

Beautiful place. Very nice a comfortable. Very clean with lots of nice touches.like shower gel, washing up stuff, and even some nice biscuits! Lovely decor too. Also a car parking place and a large private sitting out area. We all loved it.
50 metres from the beach too.
Nothing at all.

The location is excellent, near the beach and village centre. The apartment is comfortable and very clean. There were thoughtful touches such as milk and Welsh cakes left for us as well as tea and coffee sachets.
It was all good but the addition of a bread knife would be useful!

Self catering, so no breakfast. Location was ideal. Plenty of lovely cutlery, but could have done with a bread knife.
No bread knife. Sofa's could have been a little more comfortable.
