All the indoor and outdoor facilities you could realistically want as a multi-generational family and the house itself is ideally located to explore the North Wales coast. Would definitely consider going again.

The property has ample rooms and space for everyone to sit and chill out. The hot tub is a great bonus and loved by everyone.The house has lovely views to the sea from the front. Itâs in a lovely rural area, so peaceful and quiet. The owners are very quick to help out with anything if needed.
