The cottage's location is highly regarded for its quietness, convenience for exploring North Wales, and beautiful views, despite some comments about the local pub being closed.
The property is considered comfortable, with cosy blankets, good quality furnishings, and comfortable beds, though some guests suggested improvements like thicker curtains and better mattresses.

Louise
The property has mountain views, and is close to Caernarfon. The Vestry is an unusual property, ideally for fit guests as stairs are steep and in constant use as it has no toilet on the living, kitchen area floor. The single room and bed are very small, more suitable for child/teenager.

We requested that the wine cooler be looked at as it did not work, the owner visited and promised to come back the following day to sort, but never returned

The house was clean and very inviting. With 3 kids it was spacious and had no issues with WIFI which was great with still having to work during our stay. The house heats up quickly and lovely hot showers! Definitely be booking again next year!
