It would have been nice to have had some some oven gloves, perhaps a tea pot and maybe more than three tumblers - there were shed loads of enormous wine glasses but nothing to drink juice, water or beer from. That is not supposed to be a complaint. We had a superb time and would recommend the house to anyone. When we weren't walking the dogs, we spent most of our time in the games room or sitting out on the decking.

We are a family of 5 with 2 cockers. The dogs are very much welcome in this property, beautiful home from home with absolutely everything you need. The games room was a game changer and my teen boys spent a lot of time together laughing and joking and didnât go on their Xboxâs ! My daughter had the en suite bedroom which she absolutely loved! We had the room which opens up on to the garden area with beautiful views. I was unsure of where we were allowed to walk in the surrounding fields etc so local information would be helpful as I was worried I would be trespassing. The washing machine wasnât working but the owner organised an engineer to repair it asap and offered to do our washing in the mean time. It is very apparent that a lot of love and care has gone into this property and the facilities. I really didnât want to leave and will definitely be coming back. I cannot recommend this property enough. Thank you for Sharing your wonderful house

Clean, light and very well equipped. We really appreciated the games room and enclosed garden (great for the dogs), comfy beds, great showers and a generous supply of crockery and the dishwasher. The property was very quiet and a great location as we were able to drive to Bala and the White Water Centre easily and Snowden within an hour. Being summer we would have preferred much thinner duvets but everything else was spot on.
