Guests enjoy the conservatory, garden, and proximity to a local pub with good food. The location is ideal for exploring North Wales, with stunning scenery and a friendly village atmosphere.

The location is frequently described as peaceful, with beautiful views and a good base for exploring North Wales. The proximity to a friendly local pub is also appreciated, although no negative comments about the location were noted.
Comfort is generally rated highly, with mentions of comfortable seating and beds. However, there are a few remarks about the main double bed's comfort and steep stairs, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are well-regarded, with the kitchen being described as very well equipped. The conservatory and garden add to the positive experience. Maintenance issues are minimal, with only a single mention of an oil smell.
While the reviews reflect a welcoming and helpful host, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
