Comfortable, clean and wonderfully located for our needs. Its is quite and ideally placed to be able to explore north Wales and Snowdonia. The hosts were available on request but left us to our own devices so privacy was not an issue even though they live less than 100 yards away. Overall a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend and intend to go again soon.
