I picked Criccieth because I knew it a little and have friends that live in the area, but was very pleasantly surprised with what it had to offer, (great fish and chip shop, coffee and ice cream places)
My son wanted to cycle in the Llyn peninsula and I wanted to sight see such things as Portmeirion, so an excellent location. The house itself very well situated next to the castle overlooking Cardigan Bay. Very well appointed house with everything you need. If we get a chance we will be back.

When we arrived, we were wowed by the views from the front of the property. There is an amazing view of both the sea and the castle. Then we went inside of the property and insrantly felt at home. The house and back garden have so many quirky and individual touches that made it feel special; we loved all of the different artwork throughout the property. Everything that we could possibly need was right there for us. We had the best weekend and will definitely book for a return visit.

If you are traveling with a decent sized group and want to create lasting memories, this is the perfect house in an ideal location to explore Northern Wales. The house is situated in the charming town of Criccieth. You literally can see the castle and the ocean from almost every room in the house. Parking is super convenient and you can walk the entire town in 20 mins. You won't meet finer more welcoming people than those that reside in Criccieth. While the town is small, there are plenty of quality pubs, restaurants, and shops to keep you satisfied. We had one of the best Indian meals at the Spice Bank. There are numerous fun destinations to please all age groups that are within 30 mins to an hour away and Criccieth is a perfect central location to hit them all. The house is warm and inviting with plenty of space and has everything you need. The hosts are very kind in helping in any way they can.

Wonderful spacious house in a great location, with every room having character. Fully equipped beyond the property description and depiction of photos.
We spent a week here with family of varying ages, all who want to return.
All our self-inflicted issues were promptly and positively responded to by the owner who clearly cares for the enjoyment of her guests.

We had a wonderful family Christmas at Ardro. There were 6 of us ranging in age from 27 to 99, it was perfect for all our needs and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The house overlooks the sea, with spectacular views to wake up to. The kitchen is very well equipped with a lovely warming log fire, the sitting room, oh so comfortable with more than enough room for us all and the dinning room a great size for our family meals. We loved the town of Criccieth, and enjoyed daily walks along the beaches. Communication with Jane was easy, with any questions we had, answered promptly. For families looking to stay in this area, we would highly recommend this property.

Perfect location!
Beautiful location with lots nearby. Perfect home base for exploring Snowdonia's many walks and hikes. Lovely views of the sea from every window on the front of the house. Loved listening to the sound of the waves as we were lulled off to sleep every night! Would definitely stay again if ever in North Wales!

Overall Opinion
We enjoyed our stay one or two areas resulted in a overall 4*.
The grill and oven in need of a clean. Some of the bath towels were a bit thin.
Otherwise a nice property with a good location.

Very nice property, accommodation over 3 floors, and multiple bathrooms. Really well equipped house, with living room on middle floor so you can enjoy the views with privacy. The top floor bedroom and adjoining bathroom is superb. Highly recommend.

Family get together
The property was lovely, had everything we needed and really felt like a home from home. Lounge on the first floor for relaxed evening but also relaxing views downstairs for a quiet moment.

Lovely stay in Criccieth
We stayed here as a family of five and it was lovely. Really good location on the sea front and a short stroll to the restaurants and high street. We can recommend the Castle fish and chips and Cadwaladers ice-cream! Jane, the owner, was really helpful and responsive to our queries. They have clearly spent time making the property clean and sanitised. There are hand sanitiser dispensers by the entrances to the house. A really good base for an activity filled week, from hiking in the mountains to Segway in the forest or just sitting watching the dolphins and relaxing.

Jewel in the crown
8 of us stayed here in a lovely comfortable house in an amazing location, well stocked inside and out. Lots to do and see with lovely little pubs and restaurants in which to eat and drink. Communication with the owner was easy and answered all our questions. Hoping to make it an annual event

We were two couples and the house was perfect. The master suite looks over the sea and the castle--a perfect place to sleep, relax or have coffee. Plenty of bathrooms, closets, a large sitting room looking over the sea and a kitchen with everything we needed! We had a lovely week!Jane was very helpful, leaving excellent restaurant suggestions. The town is charming and easy to navigate. Everyone in our party was fit so the 3 story layout suited us just fine. I wouldn't recommend the house for anyone who has trouble with stairs, however. With the kitchen and dining on the ground floor and sitting room and 2 bedrooms & shower/bath on the first floor (American 2nd), the stairs might be a problem. We loved our week here and highly recommend the house to active adults and families!

We were given a warm welcome and shown around the house, and there was a lovely selection of treats left for us too.The house is clean and well maintained, and stocked with everything you need. The owners use it regularly for family get-togethers so it feels homely.The location is perfect - right next to the beach, just a little elevated. Also next to the castle and the town. You can walk to a surprisingly well- stocked garage for grocery requirements, and there are supermarkets a short drive away. We were even treated to the magical sight of dolphins one evening, swimming very close to the shore for around 15 minutes or more. The house has several pairs of binoculars, but really the view is just beautiful without them.Wifi was good throughout the house.A perfect holiday home for our two families (4 adults, children 15,14,12,11).Thank you!

Beautiful House over looking the sea
We hired this house for 7 friends to holiday in Wales - and it was perfect. Such a great base for exploring the local area. The house itself is so beautifully presented and very well stocked with everything you could need for a holiday!

Great location, wonderful house and amazing service
We arrived in driving rain, but were very welcomed by the owners. We have stayed in many VRBO's, but this was the best experience. The hosts met us on site, provided us with a welcome pack and even had the kettle on. The house is fantastic, plenty of room and very well maintained. It was perfect for our group of 8, 6 adults and 2 children. If the weather is nice, you can sit out front and watch for dolphins. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Excellent
We had a wonderful stay at Ardro - the house is lovely with beautiful sea and castle views, ideally placed for beaches and town centre.
Jane is extremely organised and welcoming and the house is spacious and very well furnished.
The town has several restaurants, pubs and cafes along with an excellent fish and chip shop and ice-cream parlour.
I would recommend the property to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday.

Fabulous place
Absolutely fabulous weeks holiday in Ardro.... lovely home with everything you could need. Great hosts that make you feel really welcome - nothing too much trouble. First class position in Criccieth, close to castle with fab sea views from dining room, lounge and master bedroom. Lots of great places to eat nearby as well as takeaways if you want... icing on cake was seeing dolphins in the sea while enjoying morning coffee in the lounge. Would love to stay again if we return to the area.

Holiday 'Dream Home'
We had literally walked in through the door and our grandson pleaded, "Can we come back here next year?" Jane and Mark have a fabulous family home and are such gracious owners. Ardro has been beautifully refurbished and offers top notch comfort. Everything we needed was at our finger tips and Jane and Mark were only a phone call way had we needed them.
We had various family staying with us throughout the week and all of them fell in love with Ardro - as seasoned self caterers in Criccieth that is quite a recommendation!
Our only concern is that Mark and Jane will take early retirement and permanent residence, then we wouldn't be able to go back!
There is so much to do in and around the area, but a highlight this year was Llama Trekking near Black Rock Sands - you need to book in advance.
The house details on the website are accurate but they can't convey the ambience of this warm and welcoming holiday home.

Very impressive

A lovely and welcoming property
A lovely house in an ideal location with cracking views across the bay. The facilities are excellent which makes for a relaxing stay in an ideal location for exploring the peninsula. Very good local restaurants and pubs within walking distance. Thank you to Jane and Mark for providing very well equipped facilities which all helped make a lovely weekend break.

amazing house, lovely setting....take us back
This house really is a home away from home, being set right on the seafront in a beautiful little village gave us the ultimate new year break! We travelled with 6 adults and 3 children and even though it was December we had plenty to do and see aswell as feeling relaxed in a fantastically looked after and cared for house, making us feel instantly welcome. who else can say they were a two minute walk from the most amazing ice cream shop on New Year's Day?! would definitely recommend this property whether you are travelling as a couple, family or small group.... We will definitely be returning! Thank you for making the experience so enjoyable.

Excellent house and location.
Ardro is welcoming, thoughtfully and generously equipped, and ideally situated opposite the beach. It accommodated our four generations with ease and comfort. We loved the sunny courtyard which provided a safe outside space for the little ones. All in all, the house exceeded our expectations. It has everything to recommend it, so thank you to the owners Jane and Mark.
