Guests say
Guests consistently praise the cottage for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location for exploring North Wales. The property is described as cosy, well-equipped, and beautifully finished, providing a homely base for holidaymakers. The garden and outdoor space are appreciated, and the proximity to attractions like ZipWorld is a highlight. While minor issues are mentioned, they do not detract from the overall positive experience.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as spotless and well-maintained. Only one mention of leftover food in the freezer suggests a slight oversight.
The location is highly praised for being quiet, peaceful, and central to local attractions and amenities. It is deemed perfect for exploring Snowdonia, Anglesey, and the surrounding areas.
Comfort is frequently commended, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable. However, a few guests mentioned issues with mattresses and sofas, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and excellent shower. Some minor feedback includes the lack of baking trays and a toilet brush, and one mention of a gate that didn't lock properly.
While some guests mention thoughtful touches like a Christmas tree and a bottle of fizz, there are not enough references to consistent thoughtful gestures across the reviews to accurately score this category.

Plenty of space, available parking and the property is located in a very central area to drive for many of the Castles and local attractions in North Wales. It was located in a quiet area and amenities and shops close by and a lovely little pub a short walk away.

Beautifully cared for and lovely to return to after a day of walking. It is situated perfectly for so many places to visit in north wales. I would return but now have a dog so sadly cannot use this cottage. Would highly recommend

Immaculately presented and maintained. Super outside space for handling dirty gear after outdoor activities. Great off road parking. Safe and secure and quiet. We really enjoyed it
