Beds were really comfortable; furniture and furnishings are good quality; and the food items left for us, (especially the home made bara brith, which was delicious!), were very much appreciated. The village is very close to Llyn Trawsfynydd which is really picturesque. Plus there are lots of interesting places to visit not too far away. Really enjoyed our stay - thank you
