The property has everything one would need in a holiday home. It's a clean property, spacious downstairs and sufficient space upstairs. A wet day was made easier with large TV and WiFi, and there was plenty of space outside for the car and a garden to enjoy too. The property makes for a short trip to both Harlech and Barmouth as well as being a short walk from an excellent butchers and a cafe. Owners provided a nice care package of Welsh goods and there were staples in the property so we could function on arrival. Key instructions were nice and simple too. We wouldn't hesitate to book again. We had a fantastic week.
