So relaxing and the views magnificent. Beatrice is a lovely host (hoping her husband is getting better) and the property and grounds beautiful. So much to do in North Wales makes this a great base. We will be back!

I have already booked two different weeks here next year. I love dipping in the lake, sitting on the balcony with a good book or my crochet, and watching the wildlife. Beatrice is so friendly and helpful. It is a place of complete rest and relaxation.
