White Sands was a lovely place to stay and perfectly located for our stay in the Llyn peninsula. Everything that we need was provided and it was warm and cosy and very quiet.Most mornings we saw porpoises in the bay from the kitchen window, which was wonderful. Criccieth had all the amenities needed and we especially enjoyed Dylans. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Whitesands is an amazing holiday rental. Very close to all amenities in Criccieth, from pubs, bars and restaurants, to the beach and castle, all are within a few minutes walking distance. The apartment is unique, being in a converted church, and is very well appointed. The kitchen contains all equipment you could possibly need (including coffee machine), although you will not really need it as the local food is fantastic!To wake up in the morning to have a view of the castle and beach out your window is amazing!
