All the rooms were very tidy and clean on arrival. The view from our upstairs bedroom was absolutely stunning and in the morning we have savoured the first sip of coffee in bed looking into the fields and hills, saying hello to the horse and sheep. Though the weather was'nt too good in the second week with temperatures between 7 and 13 degrees and a lot of rain, we made the best of it and discovered the whole area including Snowdonia and Llandudno. The heating in the house is very good and easy to handle, so it was very cosy. The only minor remark I can make is that there are only 6 mugs in a house for 6 persons (which means washing up a lot). When our holidays finally came to an end, we didn't want to leave and now being back in Germany the thing we miss most is the view from the window in the morning. It was our first stay in (North) Wales and it is so beautiful (sometimes I thought I was in the Shire from the Lord of the Rings) that we will definitely come again.

Amazing views that I'll miss waking up to everyday. The house is well equipped, we wanted for nothing, a real home from home. The owners are lovely and there if you need them. We're already planning to come back. Thank you for an amazing week in your home.

Comfortable and spacious. Spotless. Central for getting to other places in Wales. Would highly recommend and would return in the future.
