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.
