The cottage is frequently described as cosy and comfortable, with a few guests mentioning the steep stairs and sloping ceilings as minor discomforts.

The description disguised the extremely cramped kitchen/galley area and luckily there were only two of us. The appliances were of good quality and it was easy to keep warm. As agents I blame you for the lack of adequate description of the track from the pub to the accommodation, This was a steep, twisty narrow track with poor passing places. On the worst parts, uncontrolled brambles left their marks on my car. Also, I suspect it is the natives that drive too fast on this "road".

The owner has though of everything you could need. The views of the bay from it are fantastic and made me smile every day. Will definitely recommend to anyone thinking of a trip to North Wales.
