We have visited north Wales many times and this is hands down the best place we've stayed for so many reasons! The cottage itself was very clean, tidy, lots of space, everything you could possibly need- cutlery, plates, washing up items, towels, the list goes on. Best shower ever! All the beds were very comfortable, the main bed being exceptional! Very lovely decor, nice and cosy, and love the little homely touches around! It is also situated on a working farm which was lovely, our 5 year old daughter loved seeing the animals around and the tractor! Hot tub outside was just glorious to unwind in after a busy day! There was also lots of things near by, shops, food places, Harlech castle! And a wonderful beach pretty much opposite, our daughter enjoyed collecting many shells from there, as well as me and my partner of 10years getting engaged whilst there!! Was a wonderful day with exceptional views all around! Highly recommend this property and we will be back for definite, thanks for a brilliant stay!

Well equipped, silent all the time, close to the various walks. The powerful hot shower and hot tub was wonderful to return to after a long day hiking. The bed was very comfy.

We enjoyed staying on a working farm and especially liked the visits from the chickens, cat and dog. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our week away. Thank you
