Received a very warm welcome from the hosts on arrival and the cottage itself had everything we needed. Perfectly situated for exploring much of North Wales and Snowdonia and the views from the kitchen window and front door were stunning, especially on a sunny morning. We didn't want to leave! Highly recommend The Goat Inn on the A487, Penrhyn Castle and Gardens and a drive down the A4086 past Llanberis and through the mountains.
