We stayed at this cottage for 5 days and really enjoyed our time here. The place was cozy and peaceful, a little far from the city and high street, but that made it wonderfully quiet and relaxing. The cottage was well equipped with some board games and cards to enjoy, along with basic but useful kitchen appliances for our stay. The heating worked fine, keeping us comfortable throughout. A lovely touch was the complimentary wine and desertthank you for that! The checkout proces was smooth as everything was clearly explained in the instructions provided. This is a great spot for families or anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and just enjoy some peace and quiet. Wed definitely recommend it.

Excellent place for the price. Well equipped, friendly hosts, short drive to climb nearby mountains (we had a beautiful day to climb Tryfan!). Stunning views. The interior could posibly do with a little TLC if I'm being picky but it was perfectly adequate and very comfortable. Overall great value and would love to stay again next time I'm in Eryri ️ Thanks!

Lovely cottage with good facilities only 15 minutes from Tryfan and Cym Idwal lake. We also made a trip to Anglesey to walk around Holyhead mountain. It was very useful to have a washing machine! Large Tesco nearby too for a food shop. The owners were communicative for check in and left us some wine, milk, and sweets for when we arrived which was a nice touch. The only thing to note is that the two single beds were a little shorter than normal sized, so may not suit taller people.
