A beautiful idyllic cottage high in the hills, surrounded by sheep for neighbours! The cottage was spotlessly clean with some lovely welcome biscuits. The owners are on hand for any concerns or advice. We had a great stay!The single track road to the cottage is very steep and narrow, but worth the views when you get to the top.

A spacious property, with large airy rooms. Plenty of places to sit outside. There was a large parking area.Very close to the Gwydyr Bike Park. The nearby lake has opportunities for swimming, paddle board, canoeing. I think you have to bring your own equipment.The views from the House are stunning. We spent a lovely week there with daily walks from the house in all directions.

A very nice house in a beautiful situation, with views and walks all around. Clean and well-equipped, with all facilities. In a fairly remote and peaceful situation high above the Conwy valley, reached by a steepish single-track road through woodland (which is fine as long as you take it carefully). but shops and services within a couple of miles. Nearby are beautiful lakes and the oldest church in Wales (reputedly). Great for a restful holiday, with sea and mountains not far away.
