After 6 hours driving and asking for an advice on finding the property weâve been âwelcomedâ with aggression. I never met a person that was running a hospitality service making money out of holidaymakers, being so rude. The cottage was very cold, some walls damp, with wallpapers bulging and peeling off. The glorious garden and wonderful views wonât make up for everything else.

We enjoyed relaxing on the terrace taking in the beautiful view. The cottage was bigger than expected and was clean and cosy. Weather was a bit mixed but it did not stop us visiting some lovely areas in North Wales. Our host's, Irene and Juliano, were excellent, very helpful and accommodating, really lovely people. Hope to see you again. Mick & Sue
