Guests that stayed at this property said
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it immaculate upon arrival. The attention to detail in maintaining a clean environment contributes positively to the overall experience.
The location is highly regarded for its quietness and convenience for exploring North Wales. Proximity to Snowdonia and local beaches is a highlight, although the closure of the nearby pub was noted.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the living spaces cosy, with some suggesting improvements like thicker curtains for better sleep. The upside-down layout is unique and generally appreciated for the views it provides.
Facilities are well-received with a few areas for improvement. The hot tub is a favourite feature, though its accessibility and the lack of a view from its location were critiqued. The slow Wi-Fi and quality of kitchenware were common concerns.
While some guests mentioned a welcoming bottle of wine and the provision of essentials like towels and dishwasher tablets, there are not enough references to gifts or special touches to accurately score thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.

The house was clean and very inviting. With 3 kids it was spacious and had no issues with WIFI which was great with still having to work during our stay. The house heats up quickly and lovely hot showers! Definitely be booking again next year!

Well equipped with everything you need for a conforrable stay. Amazing views and the location makes it a perfect base to explore the local area. Only down side for us was the mattresses, especially the one in the main bedroom, it was springey and uncomfortable. If the mattresses matched the high quality finish of the rest of the house, it would be a 10 out out 10 accommodation for us.
