Brilliant property for a girls (ladies) weekend away. The house is huge. Plenty of space, places to sit, enjoy the view, and an easy walk into town. Everything is immaculately clean, beds very comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Great communication from the host too.Would highly recommend and look forward to booking again!

Great great property. Easily supports a big group. Too bad the community has little to offer for support in terms of finding restaurants, groceries, etc.

A lovely few days!

A fab few days with friends in Criccieth. Criccieth itself is a lovely, quiet place. The house was very clean and had everything we needed, it was perfect for a large group. The fact each room had an en-suite was great. It was amazing waking up to the beautiful view of the ocean and hearing the waves. Jane kept in touch and checked in to make sure everything was ok. Thanks for a fab stay!

Family get together

Excellent large lounge. Well equipped kitchen and very big dining table. Wonderful to have all seven bedrooms en suite. Good position on the sea front and yet close to the town. We knew there was not much outdoor space, but the back “yard” was very disappointing. We had a very enjoyable holiday in this property.

Superb

Bay View is a superb house right on the sea front in a quiet location. Our ages ranged from 8 months to 60yrs and the house was ideal for all of us. It is very well equipped, wonderfully clean and the fact that all the bedrooms had en-suite facilities made it extra special. The weather wasn't great but we managed to do all that we wanted to and loved coming back to the house at the end of the day. We shall certainly recommend Bay View. Thank you.

Beautiful Bay View

So pleased to find such a comfortable and homely place after a long journey late at night. Our bedroom was well-equipped right down to a hair dryer and the en suite was really clean. In the lounge we could just spread out, chill out and relax! The kitchen had more than enough crockery and glasses for everyone and we felt really at home. We were walking the Coastal Path which went right past the front door! What more could we want?!

AN EXCEPTIONAL HOLIDAY HOME!

Our family of 14 arrived at Bay View for our annual get together and what an amazing place it turned out to be. The Owner had thought of every luxury for the convenience of a large group. Two dishwashers, two kettles, two toasters, two superb fridges AND a tin with home made cake - what else can we say ..... The accommodation was spacious, beautifully furnished and quality throughtout and the position overlooking the sea was glorious. We can't recommend this holiday home too highly.

Amazing!

Had the most amazing time for my 40th birthday, a group of 12 all mixed ages! The house was superb, totally everything you needed plus more. The dining table was out of this world - well every bit of furniture was superb - totally unique and one off's. It was spotlessly clean and perfect. Jane the owner has been fabulous too. I would really recommend this place. We've been going away every year for 4 years and decided to go somewhere different every year - as Jane is opening next door in 2015 were going to there! Well it's somewhere different.
