The property is a lovely quiet location with beautiful views from the front and the back. The location is an ideal base for visiting most places in North Wales and Snowdonia. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped and we loved the size of the rooms. We would highly recommend and would have no hesitation in booking again if we wanted to visit the area again.

Owners really friendly. Cannot fault cottage or location

We would definitely recommend this house. The only thing we thought would be helpful for others staying was some TV / Control instructions - as it took us a while to work it all out!
