The property is a lovely quaint cottage we certainly would love to retire to. As a base for North wales itâs perfect, we visited Llandudno, Conwy, Betswy coed, Barmouth, Harlech (Slate Caverns) and Rhug estate as all are within easy reach. And donât forget The Crown pub for an evening drink and meal. The weather was fantastic for October, we were very fortunate. Looking forward to hopefully returning. thanks

The owner has kept just the right balance of old and new throughout the property, so it is easy to find yourself transported back in time whilst still enjoying all the necessary modern amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the neighbours who are âdeadly quietâ and thankfully kept to themselves. It added adventure and excitement as we imagined their histories and how many of them may have once lived in the house. We enjoyed candlelit evenings listening to the owners CD collection and playing Perudo and Linkee from the board game selection. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. Thank you Jill xx

We were a party of five adults and dog so the large bedrooms were very much appreciated. Loved the shabby chic interiors and functional bathrooms. Only thing we struggled with was living room sofa was too low for our creaky joints. Owner kept us informed of arrival details and we knew she was there should sometime up - it didn't!. Son and daughter made good use of the Crown Inn too. Definitely would recommend this property
