Welcome goodies appreciated. Wifi wasn't brilliant, may benefit boosters. Ideal location to visit North Wales. Bonus off road parking, we found it was easier to reverse in, rather than drive in and try to turn. A couple of times next door parked over drive, however this wasnât an issue as moved when knocked. Would benefit with information on the recycling/general waste days, bins nearly full when we got there and we missed the recycling collection so full when we left. Overall enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Large kitchen with extra toilet downstairs. The wifi needs updating. Hit and miss. Wifi most important these days. Otherwise had a fantastic stay. Thank you for the milk and snacks.
