The kitchen was well equipped with all we required. Everyone found the bedrooms and beds very comfortable. You might want to checkout the electric Shower, couldnât seem to get any hot water, But other than that, everything else was fine. Handy for the station to visit Barmouth and Aberdovey, both a short train ride. We were lucky that the local pub had reopened the week before. Would definitely return here.

We weren t sure how it would be when we booked it. Everyone thought it was very good. The beds etc were clean and comfortable. All the equipment we needed. There were a few cosmetic tweaks that could improve it but they didn t make any difference to us. It was very good
