Miss Wilson
The cottage met and, indeed ,exceeded all our expectations. It is in an ideal location to get to the mountains and the seaside. Zip World and some lovely walks were available straight from the door. It had all the amenities we could possibly have wanted and we found it very comfortable and spacious for our needs (two of us). Even the Eryri weather was very good during our two week stay so we were very glad that we were able to enjoy the beautiful garden. We only had one day of relentless rain, and were more than happy to stay in the cottage, resting our aching legs after a particularly strenuous hike and watching TV and reading. As hikers, we particularly appreciated having the utility room with washer, dryer etc and the bathroom was fantastic with a great shower, bath and lots of space. We loved staying there and would definitely stay again.

The cottage was super clean, beautiful luxurious bathroom and is in a lovely location, close to a pretty waterfall and a few min drive from magnificent lakes and mountains. We had a small problem with the heating which was sorted very quickly and efficiently by the hosts. Thank you for a lovely stay and would highly recommend this cottage.
