It was warm and comfortable. It is well situated for getting to the beaches and other attractions in Colwyn Bay and Llandudno.

The house is well presented although the sofas differ from the photos and the main bed was damaged which meant you couldn't sit at the end of it! A couple of other small drawbacks were how loud and creaky floorboards were upstairs (when trying to creep out after putting a toddler to bed!) and the decking was lifting up in the garden. Also the kitchen was very nice but only had one baking tray which was a challenge at times. It should also be noted the garage was full so that couldn't be used as a parking space and we did find the parking out front totally full twice over the week and had to park a short distance away- which was fine for us but probably worth noting for those with disabilities etc. However whilst i've mentioned some 'negatives' we really did enjoy the stay, the house was really very nice, and the location was fantastic.

E. everything a "home" would have. We do have one slight reservation from the female section though, and that was the Bathroom ought to have a "Blind/Curtain" fitted as they felt a little loss of privacy in there when taking a Shower etc. Apart from that it was a hassle free holiday and within places to visit as well.
