The enclosed garden and the warmth of the cottage received special mentions, making it a hit with families and pet owners.
The majority of guests found the cottage clean and tidy. However, there were isolated comments about kitchenware cleanliness, which slightly affected the score.

Guests frequently mentioned the cottage's cosy and warm atmosphere, comfortable beds, and spaciousness. The efficient heating system was appreciated during colder evenings.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-stocked kitchen and efficient heating. However, comments about water pressure issues, the lack of a property handbook, and the need for more kitchenware for larger groups have been noted.

Mrs Longhurst
The views are utterly stunning. And it’s very peaceful!! Enclosed garden, great for the dogs. Small stream at the end of the garden. Plenty of parking. Great water pressure and a brilliant shower for a holiday let! With the heating on it’s lovely and warm. Lit the fire one night, it’s a very good log burner. Characterful thick walls. It’s in the middle of nowhere, yet only minutes from civilisation. Welcome milk, and Welsh cakes, never expected but always appreciated. Lovely touch! As a couple we literally used only half the property, we slept in the central bunk bed room as it was a cosier space. Hardly used the lounge as kitchen/diner so big. So this is in fact an awesome family cottage all one the ground floor, lots of space! Thoroughly recommend this unique stunning location and solid large cottage.

Lovely private location and waking up every morning with views across the Menai Strait could not be better. We really enjoyed our two weeks stay.

Cottage is both spacious and cosy with fabulous views. Great location for exploring Snowdonia and Anglesey and short 10 min drive to Bangor with many supermarkets and shops. We loved the sheep and cows in surrounding fields. Lovely walks from the doorstep. We were all sad to leave at the end of the week.
