We were a family of 6 who stayed & it was spacious enough that we wasnât all on top of eachother. It is well equipped with everything you might possibly need. It is a little off the main route, but thatâs what we loved about it as we werenât disturbed by noise or light pollution. We were close enough to everything we needed, we know the route to Harlech off by heart now. We loved the peaceful mornings of sitting with a cup of tea listening to the stream & the birds sing. Local sheep were very friendly too! Ben & Sandra were excellent hosts, they were very helpful when it was needed. We would 100% come back here again.
