Mr Wilsher
The cottage is cosy, clean, comfortable and warm. The location is perfect - not only is it quiet and isolated, it is close to all the attractions of North Wales. The hosts are a lovely couple who were extremely welcoming and helpful and made us the most delicious lemon cake on arrival! Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. We will definitely be returning.

Mr Pass
A fantastic little place just outside of Bangor, Wales. You may find the narrow farm road a little intimidating but don’t let that put you off. This is a beautiful combination of modernised decor and traditional Welsh atmosphere. The house has all the amenities needed and our stay was marked by a rural feel, far from the rat race without feeling isolated. The hosts were top-notch and even gave us the choice of a freshly homemade cake to greet us on our arrival. Friendly and accommodating, they welcomed us without intrusion and gave us a good send off at the end. I can’t praise this place enough. We will be staying again!
