A lovely location (literally a stone's throw from the Llanberis path). Plenty of space (we closed off a few extra rooms). Nice to have a garden for the dog.Weather could have been better, but early March in Wales what did we expect... First night I didn't realise how close the waterfall was, so we awoke on day 2 and thought it was still raining!!User manuals for air fryer and microwave would have been good, and we would have preferred a little more freezer space....However, very happy... Thanks

would have been better if they made cupboard by front door into down stair toilet as you have to keep going up stairs and if 2 people want to go at same time then be problem

Not terrible, but the central heating had no timer and wasn't great. Didn't get a very positive impression. Fridge obstructs the kitchen. Location is good for Snowdon and the waterfall.
