Beautiful apartment with the most stunning views. Location was easy to get to and as soon as you open the door, you know it was worth the drive. The local pub is so welcoming and the corner shop, selling all fresh food and veg, is worth a visit. Really couldn't ask for anywhere better to stay in North Wales. Only feedback I would offer is there wasn't a broom or hoover, so wasn't able to leave the property as clean as we could have liked. Thank for a lovely day : )

Enjoyed our stay.

The location is breathtaking. With the castle right in front of you and views of the sea and the mountains all around. The apartment is beautifully decorated, modern and fresh. The bed is so soft and comfortable. If I had to find a fault with the apartment the only thing I could point out is the lack of a socket next to a mirror to dry and style my hair. There is a full length mirror in the bed room and a mirror over the sink in the bathroom. But there is no socket. In fact the only sockets in the bed room are for the bedside lights, and they are an unusual size ( not standard) I ended up doing my hair in the kitchen with a compact mirror I had luckily packed with me. Obviously this would not be an issue for everyone. The only other problem we encountered was when we arrived there wasn't an allocated parking space free. It turned out that a member of staff from the castle was parking in one of the apartment spaces. Something he continued to do every day, to avoid having to pay parking I can only assume. We were able to park every other day, but I imagine if all the apartments were full and we all wanted to be able to park during castle opening hours this could be a real problem.i must add that the castle cafe is brilliant with great staff and delicious food, the home made cakes were amazing. We will definitely be staying again, and would book the same apartment. Gwern
