If you want to stay somewhere to relax and unwind this is the place. Kathie goes out of her way too make you feel welcome. The cottage has everything you need and is situated close to Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Llyn peninsula with lots of places to visit. Have already booked again for next year.

The setting is beautiful with views of the mountains, and so quiet at night. My only suggestion would be a black out blind in the bedroom window as summer mornings are so bright and early for those that like to sleep in.
