The two bedrooms have comfy beds with loads of wardrobe space and the bathroom has a shower over the bath ... and Yes, the shower works. The kitchen / diner / lounge is vast and everywhere is spotlessly clean. The hot tub was popular and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Mrs Roberts was very welcoming and keen to ensure that we were comfortable in every aspect ... without being intrusive. We shall certainly stay there again.

We appreciated the ability to wander (& bike!) in the fields. It felt isolated up in the hills but only a few miles to town was the best of both. Will absolutely returnâ¦

Great location for exploring around Snowdonia, although the farm was difficult to find at first (I think better instructions are needed for locating the farm when coming from the South). Owner was super friendly and even left a birthday cake - which was such a nice touch. Great communication with the owner throughout and I cannot speak highly enough about the Hot-Tub - this was such a welcomed pleasure after hiking the mountains. The cottage itself is really well setup, loads of space and very comfortable to stay in. Some of the doors can be a little noisy to close due them scrapping on the floor, but it adds to the character of the place. Would highly recommend this cottage - lovely stay, excellent owners and we would definitely look to stay there again if and when we return to Snowdonia.
