A lovely holiday home, not far from snowdon or the beach. We all had a great stay and would recommend the barn to anyone.

Excellent accommodation in a beautiful part of Wales. The conversion is exceptionally well done to a very high standard. The provision of equipment is of the highest standard. I would like to think we will be able to return someday and we look forward to renewing our acquaintance

We had a lovely holiday at Kris Kin, the house is very comfortable and we felt so at home here. The beds were very comfortable, the house well equipped and the hot tub was a great addition! It’s covered over too so even when you get a shower you can still use it! Great tranquil setting but only 10 mins drive from the town with a supermarket. Would highly recommend!
