Perhaps some better quality pillows and pillow protectors. A bath mat would be useful for when bathing little people. We loved the cottage and it was our second visit ,hoping to be back again next year as it offers our 3 generations and the dogs a great base and room for everyone to spread out.

The cottage is set in a great location close to Caernarfon and Snowdonia to name just two. We were amazed how large the cottage is with lots of areas to wind down and relax . It was spotlessly clean and better equipped than my own house! The owner left us chocolates, milk and complimentary biscuits and teas which was very generous of them. He was helpful and accessable. The weather was quite mixed and coming back to the cottage after high winds and rains was very relaxing and homely. Having a play room and football goal post was a five star plus for my grandkids. Plenty of TVs for us to be able to watch our own choice of programme. Very comfortable beds and excellent bathrooms. Lots and lots of outdoor seating which was lovely on the sunny days. Try Ainsworths Chip Shop in Caernarfon brilliant, Curry Scene if you fancy a curry. All in all this was a perfect cottage and location for us and would highly recommend.
