Miss Spencer
Very comfortable and cosy, lovely views of sheep and birds in the garden. The area was tranquil and remote, very easy to relax in. The bed was very comfy, I don't usually sleep well away from my home but I slept very well here. We didn't have a car so there was a lot of walking, but it was very enjoyable. Once you get out to Y Felinheli there are great transport links to various areas around North Wales; we found it easy to get to places like Caernarfon, Holyhead, Llanberis, and Beaumaris. Owners were wonderful hosts and have really made the cottage very welcoming.
