....even before it was revamped. The location is fabulous with the stream and the mountain views, yet only a 15 minute drive from Dolgellau....the four gates to open and shut notwithstanding. We loved the upgrades. My partner proposed to me whilst we were watching the sunset from the hot tub. I accepted, of course! But after our visit in October, may we suggest no more additions to the cottage now please. The pods are a bridge too far and interfere with natural ambience (and views from the hot tub) of the cottage. It's enough now. Most visitors now have everything they need!!!! Must give a shout out to the excellent cleaners and Roy, the property manager, who is responsive and helpful always.

The location is fantastic and a great get away from our normally busy lives. It is in no way a criticism but we thought the pod was unnecessary and not in keeping with the surroundings. We would love to go back.
