Hilary
The town had some great outdoor spaces for children and easy access to other towns in locality. Cottage very comfortable. Some great pubs on footstep for walking too and eating out in the evening. Swellies cafe next door to property ,did great breakfasts. Children enjoyed crabbing by the harbour walls.

Ideal base for family with dog for exploring North Wales. Cafe next door and bar just up the road. Kitchen facilities great, dishwasher, seperate freezer and plenty of utensils. Beds comfy. Would have liked curtains in the main bedroom rather than just blinds to stop the daylight waking us up early.

The property is spacious and in excellent condition. It feels like a home, nicely decorated with a well stocked kitchen. We've stayed at the property twice and hope to stay again!
