A beautiful location in Criccieth and because of the excellent walking around. However, I (6. 0") and my wife 5' 2" both banged our heads on the sloping ceilings, in her case causing her to fall to the ground. As the ceilings and the slopes are both white the edges are hard to see and something to highlight their presence - a marking or colour band - would help avoid future injuries. On the minor point, a coffee filter or cafetiere would make the morning coffee easier to make (and less gritty!) and a couple of heat resistant table mats would protect the rather nice new kitchen table (we used plates but others may not be so careful)

There is no elevator to get upstairs, so this is something to consider if you have difficulty getting up stairs. Contrary to the listing, there was NO handheld shower in the en suite bathroom. We booked for 4 people to stay and all of us staying had to use the one shower. That said, the one shower was very good, although a fairly small cubicle. The beds were beyond uncomfortable. We had a terrible first nights sleep, and had to improvise and put cushions and pillows on top of the mattress in order to be able to get any sleep for the remaining 5 nights. Kitchen is pretty well set up, with everything we needed to cook and eat in the cabinets. Toilet paper provided not enough for the time booked, since it was not on the list of items to bring and we were told on enquiry we would not be given any more, we had to go buy more. I would suggest this be added to the list of suggestions to bring with you, and also make information available on where to find things like rubbish/trash bags in the apartment. Based on the lack of sleep due to uncomfortable beds we would not stay at the Towers Castell again. Based on the misleading information about the hand held shower option I would question the amenities listings given for other Sykes properties.

I am just over six foot and had very few issues with ceiling height, just need to be careful with doorway into kitchen/living room, otherwise restricted height was where you would expect it to be in top floor apartment. Also had no issue with lack of blinds on bathroom windows, people would need to be hanging from roofs to see in. Points noted - no Cafetiere, pictures seem to show one but it was the teapot, would have taken our own if we had realised. iI there were more mugs, glasses and cutlery dish washer would have been run less frequently. A few books, jigsaw puzzles and games may help to keep you amused on wet day, However overall really nice, thanks.
