Only negatives were: WiFi speed was very poor. Water pressure was too low. Not enough hot water for four people to have a shower in the mornings.

Lovely apartment, great location for exploring Snowdonia However it just seemed to lack natural light making it a bit dark but you could catch some sunshine by moving the patio furniture onto the lawned area Shower a bit lacking in pressure
