The cottage was warm and there is loads of hot water. Wi-Fi good. The views and location are great. Owner helpful and provided extra towels for an additional guest when requested. Some wear and tear to white goods which owner made us aware of. Overall a great place to stay.

The cottage itself was dressed for Christmas, including a lovely basket filled with goodies and a Christmas card from the owner, which was a lovely touch following are long journey from London. I loved the layout and size of cottage it felt so roomy, and the log burner at Christmas time was simply wonderful. I could not recommend this cottage highly enough and hope to return in the summerâ¦.

Since our last visit 3 and a half years ago Arenig has been updated with a new Kitchen, bigger TV & excellent New seating in the lounge. Excellent weather for October - we were able to eat several meals outside on the Decking. Itâs lovely to wake up in a place where some mornings you are greeted by cows over the garden fence and other days sheep. If I was to make one change to Arenig it would be to update the Bathroom & put a large walk in shower rather than have the bath tub set up but thatâs just personal preference. We will for sure stay here again - Thank you Very Much.
