Plenty of space for family celebration and get together, even a playroom for the children. Comfortable and clean throughout. Kitchen well equipped. Everything you could want. Host got back to me straight away to answer my query and was very helpful. Great coastal walks nearby. Would definitely recommend.

Well equipped kitchen. Loved the large dinning table that allowed the whole family to eat together. The seating areas outside with view towards Llandudno with morning cup of tea was fabulous. The children absolutely loved the large garden space to run around & play. The childrenâs playroom was a real blessing to occupy the early risers! We did have problems with two showers but appreciated the quick response from Sykes holidays & the owners. The Sandy beach with cafe just 5mins drive was great for a family beach day & the coastal walk round to Anneâs pantry all highly recommended. Even the sun shone, thank you.
