However, comments about the lack of mobile reception, the need for better Wi-Fi coverage, and some desired additions like outdoor furniture and a BBQ lead to a slightly lower score.

Beautiful views across the lake. The house is in a fantastic position for views. A beautifully decorated property with all the equipment you need. The grounds outside the property are well maintained and lovely to walk around.

The photos don't do it justice. The views are something you never get tired of. The walks around the lake are stunning. We had the best time here. We never used the dining room as you couldn't beat the view from the kitchen....we thought this room would be better used as another bedroom or a games room or something?! Just a suggestion, maybe other guests used it. Will definitely come back of we get chance. Amazing place

Well appointed and had everything we needed. A short drive to Beddgelert which is just beautiful - kids loved the ice cream shop there, we had a lovely meal at Bistro Hebog and enjoyed our walks up the river. Would happily recommend and will miss those views over the lake
