The cottage was really comfortable and homely. The owner Lis was really helpful and friendly. We can't wait to stay again.

Furnished with everything you could possibly need and with such a homely feel what more could you want. In the heart of Snowdonia National Park wonderful scenery wraps itself around you in an embrace of everchanging beauty. The quiet of the surroundings is wonderful but, you are also in touching distance if you do want more with all the beautiful seaside resorts to be had in the region. There is only one downstairs bathroom but this was a small price to pay. We found it had the right mix of authenticity and comfort that made for a lovely break.
