Lovely holiday as usual.

The bungalow was very spacious. The double beds had poor mattresses. Settees were tired & lacked support. The ensuite shower was very poor flow & took forever to get warm/hot. Lounge could be made attractive with some colour, very bland room, not a joy to sit in. Conservatory would benefit from blinds.

The property is spacious and being a bungalow on one level which is great for the grandchildren to run about. It is on a working farm and the children loved watching the animals. The location in a lush green valley is great for quiet relaxation and excellent for getting about the area of North Wales. Megan and family are really friendly hosts.
