Perfectly situated to explore Snowdonia. Bed was very comfortable, loved the garden with seating at the front and the back garden to enjoy the sunshine.

The cottage was comfortable and had most of what we needed. We were warned about the bathroom, but I didnât like the floor which got quite wet when using the shower and the water didnât drain from the shower tray which left you standing in dirty water. Yuck. A better mop would help. Overall we were happy with our stay.
