Had a lovely time at Kris Kin.
Had a lovely time at Kris Kin. So quiet and relaxing. The location and surrounding scenery is stunning. The cottage itself is like a home from home. Absolutely everything you need and so cosy. The hot tub is great. My only gripe was the bed in the main bedroom. It was just a little uncomfortable for us, that doesn’t mean everyone would find it uncomfortable. We just prefer a softer,bigger bed. But no other complaints at all. Would definitely go back.

Booked as a family.
Booked as a family. Excellent location close to the major tourist areas in North Wales. Great hot tub located close to the cottage and with its own covering and lighting. Large kitchen/Diner and sitting room. Also loved the power showers. Stephen and Monique were very helpful and responsive. Family really enjoyed it especially as it was our first time in North Wales.

We went as a group of 6 for a friends birthday and I can honestly say we had the best time! The owners were brilliant and left us to it whilst also coming to see us off! Definitely be going back again!

Great cottage in a lovely secluded location out in the sprawling fields and hills of Criccieth.
Great cottage in a lovely secluded location out in the sprawling fields and hills of Criccieth. We'll stocked and clean upon arrival. We had a few hiccups losing power on a few occasions but the owners were quick to sort it out and it had no impact on our stay. Everyone loved the hot tub, and the spacious kitchen and lounge areas meant all 6 of us had plenty of room. We all found the beds a little hard but this is probably personal preference and again it didnt spoil our time there. It's a great base to explore the beaches and walks of Snowdonia. I'd recommend and happily return.

A lovely quiet break, spacious yet cosy barn with extremely comfortable beds. A very well equipped kitchen that any budding cook would love to spend time in. The hot tub was fab & now on the wish list for all future rentals.

A lovely little cottage that is excellent value for money.
A lovely little cottage that is excellent value for money. There were a couple of little niggles: 1 being that the wheels on the dishwasher drawers have virtually all fallen off which made for things nearly dropping out of the dishwasher on a number of occasions (these may have been replaced since our stay, if not then be careful!), also the slate at the back door is very slippery so watch out for that when coming in and out of the cottage from the hot tub. Other than these minor issues, a lovely and enjoyable stay
