Laura
.. other than fantastic! Best cottage we have stayed in. The proprietor Jane was lovely and welcoming. She had baked a Birthday cake for me upon arrival amongst some other welsh goodies ... Welsh cakes and Bira Brith. This really made my Birthday and stay one to remember. The location couldn't have been more perfect for us. The living space was superb ... cosy and inviting, the log burner on an evening was wonderful, loved reclining in the leather chair with a glass of red wine watching the flames flicker away. Our Springer Spaniel Biscuit loved been cosy after our long walks and exploring during the day. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we required to cook our meals. The bed was so comfy and we had amazing night's sleeps after exploring snowdonia national park. Absolutely loved the jacuzzi bath to unwind and soak our legs after some long hikes. Highly recommend anyone to stay here, super dog friendly and just perfect. I can't wait to go back infact, we were really sad to have to leave! Thank you for an amazing and memorable stay at Hafod cottage .
