Popped in to the coffee shop downstairs from the guesthouse on a walk along the front. Beautiful place, lovely staff and great coffee. They are also licensed. Lovely little gift shop too. Well worth a stop on the other side of the Castle. Can highly recommend it !

We have just returned from a mini-break at this beautiful guest house in Criccieth. Wow! We were blown-away by the new hosts and their attention to detail - they really do make you feel so welcome. Along with our two daughters, we stayed in one of the fabulous family rooms which are perfect if you like to have that extra bit of space. The beds are super comfy & falling to sleep to the sound of the sea was really relaxing. The sea-views are breathtaking, they even provide binoculars so that you can do some dolphin spotting and look over to the castle whilst enjoying a cuppa in the window. The tea & coffee making facilities and the fridge are really handy, but there are also plenty of eateries and cafes close by to explore during your stay. Our personal favourite was Dylans. The hosts are super welcoming and go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is an enjoyable one. Highly recommended!

10 out of 10, amazing views from my bedroom window and sounds of the sea waves at night. I visited with my friend Jane, we had an amazing time. The hosts couldn't do enough for you and very welcoming. They even dropped me of at the train station, which was so kind of them. There is a fridge, kettle and plates, cutlery and cups. They also have a pretty shop and cafe downstairs. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable. We booked a double seaview room and twin room. When you come out of the shower room the views from the large windows are just amazing. I would return back to Mor Heli if I visit Wales again. I 100% would recommend Mor Heli and you will not be disappointed. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Jess and Gaz are great hosts, they are really helpful, welcoming and kind. We stayed in a family room with a stunning view of the beach. The room is large but cosy, very comfortable and has everything you need and more. The mini fridge is a great addition as are plates, glasses, a cafetière etc The cafe bar is beautiful and provides much needed coffee and snacks. Can’t wait to visit again xx

We enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee, a browse in the cute shop and a nosy around last week when staying elsewhere in Criccieth. The owner was welcoming and engaging and I now know where we'll stay next time we're in town. We checked out the excellent cocktail list and marvelled at the charming bar/coffee area with excellent views. My guess is if you are a couple or family that enjoy a touch of relaxed sophistication and thoughtful design touches combined with a friendly host knowledgable about the local area this is the place you want to stay.

Stayed in a room on the first floor, with a sea view (visible even from the bed!) which was superb. Nice and clean, quirky decor. The bed was super comfy, the shower was great. Grateful for a small supply of kitchenware alongside the kettle and mini fridge. Situated right on the beachfront, our stay was underscored by the sound of the sea whenever we were in the room. Good location, especially if you have a car - we visited Portmeirion, Porthmadog, and some other places, each less than an hour drive. Would stay again!
