John
Apartment is centrally located very close to many restaurants, cafes and shops, as well as the railway station (for Ffestiniog and Welsh Highlands Steam Railways). Apartment was very well equipped to a high standard and was spotlessly clean throughout. An excellent base for exploring Snowdonia and the of NW Wales.
Maggie
Extremely comfortable and well equipped. Probably the best apartment we have stayed in over the years.
