Lots of safety and local information. Everything in the cottage worked as it should, plenty of kitchen utensils, and was comfortable although be aware of low doorways at times! Minor improvements would be light above cooker, TV remote being renewed, maybe larger outside recycle bin, but this didn't prevent our enjoyment of the cottage. The views are astonishing, and local scenery beautiful whatever the weather. Easy driving access to Snowdonia north and south, and Lleyn. Did plenty of running and walking from the cottage, although be warned you'll need to be good with hills.

Views were gorgeous, lovely furniture and style, some lovely artwork, very comfortable bed , everything we needed in the kitchen and lovely welcome card and gifts. Garden was secure for our dog and as we had such great weather, we enjoyed sitting out- even in the evening where the stars were awesome! Great location for exploring, walks and wild swims close by. Thank you for a wonderful stay âºï¸
