Near to every thing we wanted to see. So nice to be up close to the farm animals. Hot tub was a bonus and we used it every day. Ioan works tirelessly and it was a real eye opener of how hard farming can be, but he loves it and always had time for a chat. We had some goodies when we arrived, thank you, and there are supermarkets in Caernarfon , just about 10/15 mins away. Would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay after a difficult year. It had a nice spacious room for the family to enjoy and mix. The location is not too far from Llanberis or Caenarfon. I would recommend and would stay again. The owner was also approachable and friendly. Thank you
