What a beautiful location this cottage had. Very spacious and extremely tidy. Perfectly situated for hiking into the heart of Snowdonia. It was in a very quiet spot, full of local charm, and the kitchen was very well-equipped! Comfortable beds, and it was lovely to be able to light the fireplace after a rainy day.

What a Gem!
What a gem!! We had an excellent time at the cottage and would absolutely stay again. The cottage has excellent facilities, the location is great and we feel like we've been very well taken care of during our stay. The kitchen is really well stocked, the lounge is incredibly cosy and the bedroom is very comfortable. Definitely a very special place, with an amazing view out over the Menai Straits.
