Had a lovely week stay here , would state this as a detached bungalow not a cottage though , rooms were ample big enough , I found the bed a little hard but that’s just my opinion 😊 , garden was great , ideal at the front for throwing ball for dog , only concern was the barn gate as our dog could easily fit underneath so be mindful if you have a small dog , didn’t use hot tub , due to weather,This didn’t affect us enjoying the stay though,plus no side gates had to keep dogOn lead in garden, the beach was a 10-15 minute walk right at end of road, very clean , the cafe is right on the car park had a lovely coffee there before they closed , lovely scenicDrive to Barmouth 20 minutes ,Ample car parks there , very dog friendly .
