We have had a wonderful holiday staying in this lovely cottage which was very well equipped with everything we needed. The views from the cottage were stunning (we miss them so much) and it was so nice having a hot tub to relax in - a real treat! The cottage is lovely and spacious and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting to holiday in this part of North Wales - it is so peaceful.
