The cottage is generally described as clean and tidy. However, one review mentioned dirty pans and peeling non-stick surfaces, suggesting room for improvement.

Mrs Price
Cottage is both spacious and cosy with fabulous views. Great location for exploring Snowdonia and Anglesey and short 10 min drive to Bangor with many supermarkets and shops. We loved the sheep and cows in surrounding fields. Lovely walks from the doorstep. We were all sad to leave at the end of the week.

Beautiful location overlooking Anglesey and the sea. Comfortable cottage with good facilities. Great location for exploring all the area has to offer but remote enough for a very peaceful break. Our only disappointment was the 5 pm check in which we didn’t realise when we booked.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. Fantastic views. Didn't like the single track roads.
