    However, it is within easy reach of Snowdon, Caernarvon, Bangor, Anglesey and many other locations. The property is beautifully presented, tidy and spotlessly clean, with high quality, modern facilities. The open plan arrangements in the well-appointed kitchen, dining area and living space work well. Although there are no wardrobes, there are plenty of drawers in the bedrooms and the owners provided a clothes rail for our use. The bathroom and toilet facilities are idiosyncratic but entirely practical. The utility room was extremely useful for drying wet outdoor clothes and washing. The table and chairs in the enclosed garden provided a nice outdoor space when weather permitted. We would highly recommend the property for a North Wales stay.

    We have had the best holiday and can’t wait to return. Only very small thing to improve our stay would be a list of the things we need to bring like soap and hair dryer.

    I was worried about the toilets / bathrooms in the bedrooms and that there weren’t any wardrobes but actually it was fine - the huge drawers in the main bedroom catered for us all. Loved the open plan living with the modern facilities such as wine cooler, dishwasher, oven etc. We loved the cottage so much we didn’t eat out once we cooked every evening and took advantage of the cosy environment. The property was quite hard to find so check the directions given ! The welcome basket was also lovely treat. We loved how close it was to Llanberis and spent lots of time exploring. We will be back!
