Comfort received mixed reviews. While the garden and outside space were appreciated, several guests reported that the mattresses and lounge sofa were uncomfortable, indicating room for improvement in this area.

Great Dog friendly garden. Everything you need for your stay to be comfortable. Great base for exploring North Wales.

Friendly environment and lovely and kind neighbor. Quiet and peaceful serene. A pure get away environment to recoup orate from noisy environments. . We had fun coming to North Wales. The property was as described but the mattress in the bunk bed needs to be changed and the toilet seat needs to be fixed. Every other things were in order.

We enjoyed the outside space too, very secure and lots of space for the dogs to play. The only small negative was the hand tool part of the hoover had no suction, so when we came to clean the soft furnishings before we left we had to do it by hand. Definitely would like to stay again soon.
