The adjoining utility room provides a handy space to wash your clothes following an enthralling afternoon walk, before freshening up with a long soak in the bright and airy ground-floor bathroom. At the end of the night, retire yourself to the pretty and accessible ground-floor bedroom with king size bed. The steep staircase leads up to a quaint twin children’s bedroom exuding character from the exposed beams and sloping ceilings. This area is perfect for bike rides and hikers or those who want relaxing evening walks. There is a bike storage shed available at the back. Parc Glynllifon is only a short walk away, the Grade I listed historic gardens has a diverse collection of rare trees and plants.

It has some lovely characteristics and it has a real homely feel to it. Upon arrival the only disappointment we had was it had a few damp patches in areas and with having a baby the cleanliness wasn't up to par but the place generally is beautiful it wasn't anything we couldn't sort ourselves. We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket and the dog had treats too. I do recommend this cottage

we were so lucky with the weather. The cottage was spotlessly clean, comfy and cozy. There was everything in the kitchen that we could possibly need and a bonus for us was the air fryer! (1st cottage we have stayed at that provided one) Garden was looking beautiful with the pink anemones and was secure for our 2 dogs. This is a great base to explore the local area and the beautiful beaches. would love to return soon, at least when the local pub reopens! thank you
