The beds have had new mattresses and pillows, so are comfortable. The facilities are great and the working sauna is a massive bonus. Would stay here again for sure

Nice to see some work has been done (a few new beds and possibly some painting?), but the same old issues, extremely damp smell downstairs, questionable cleanliness of all crockery etc ( the plates are too big for the dishwasher so don't bother trying to wash them in there), filthy glasses and grubby cutlery. Dishwasher filter was revolting and needed scrubbing well. Fridge needs labelling that the bottom shelf will freeze your salad solid. Kitchen really needs a very deep clean. Still got a very dodgy loose tile on the kitchen floor which bites you if you aren't careful. Not offering towels is a mystery to me when most other houses do. Sauna is fab, but the downstairs bathroom really needs some TLC - grubby and very sad looking. But we'll keep coming back for the value spread over a group of 12 people. Don't expect luxury and you won't be disappointed. Oh, and bring your own sharp knives, the ones there are absolutely hopeless. Wifi needs some extenders to get it reliably throughout the house too.

There was ample parking space, the conservatory was ideal for storing wetsuits, life jackets etc and the fact that the lake was just 5 mins walk away was amazing. There were plenty of places to walk to and also many interesting places within reasonable driving distances. Some of our family enjoyed the challenge of climbing Snowdon. We look forward to returning next year.
