Visitors to this lovely region are spoilt for choice, with stunning Snowdonia, the beautiful Llyn Peninsula, or the sandy beaches of the Isle of Anglesey all within easy reach.

..So comfortable and love the views from the balcony looking down to the Menai, sunset s where amazing, very clean all through out, loved the upside down feel of the home, popped over to Anglesey to see the Red Squirrels again , Bodnant gardens great place to visit and lots more to explore...could do with more cleaning items ie. Sweeping brush or a vacuum...and can't forget the resident Peacock family loved seeing them every morning ...definitely be back again

Everything you would need for a perfect stay. Just a couple of points that would possibly be of benefit, an iron and ironing board would be useful and either a free standing or permanent toilet roll holder in the bathroom. Having said that we would definitely recommend the property and it is a credit to the owners

..BUT a number of aspects where this could be so much better When we arrived there was no welcome pack of information at all. We were unable to find the Wifi information - we contacted the number and were then given the wrong wifi password and no details as to the correct network to join.... we eventually found the router hidden under a table in one of the bedrooms ... The stairs are very steep and my husband nearly had an accident as when using the banister it was not securely fastened to the wall and came away in his hands... thankfully this was fixed fairly quickly after a further call. No information about bins, recycling etc or heating - the bedrooms were very cold despite the warm weather and had to sleep in extra clothing... The info does warn about the shower being very slippy - it is but the tiles are also quite sharp and there are no door hooks anywhere which is not great when using the bathroom This could be a really lovely house if a little more attention to detail
