Very comfortable bed and sofa. The weather was not fantastic for August but if you worry about the weather you wouldn't go anywhere. Good central base to reach a lot of the surrounding areas. Nice walking area. Step's down to doggy garden steep and slippy in the rain. Overall lovely place to stay.

The road up to the cottage (approx. 1 mile) was a single track road but not too bad. Mr Mrs Ellis were on hand with any query's we had. A lovely place to stay for touring north Wales.
