Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be beautifully clean, with high-quality furnishings. However, one review mentioned the presence of spiderwebs and spiders, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
The location is celebrated for its quietness, proximity to beaches, and suitability as a base to explore the Llyn Peninsula. The scenic river and garden add to the charm, although one review mentioned limited nearby dining options.
Guests are very satisfied with the comfort provided by the cottage, highlighting the powerful shower, comfortable beds, and the relaxing sound of the river. The spaciousness and ease of access are also appreciated, particularly by those with mobility issues.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and a great welcome pack. Some guests noted the lack of a washing machine and issues with Wi-Fi, indicating some areas for improvement.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is a standout feature, with numerous mentions of a welcome pack that includes homemade cake, fresh flowers, and a handwritten card. While these gifts are warmly appreciated, they are a gracious gesture and may vary with each stay.

Could not have asked for anything more, stream at the bottom of the garden was relaxing, garden furniture to sit back and appreciate the peace and quiet. Upon arrival we were left a delicious chocolate cake, bottle of wine and tassimo pods, all of which were very welcome, loads of info on surrounding area, lovely shower, comfy bed and a few board games to keep us amused. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we look forward to returning sometime soon.

The cottage has everything you could need and is like home from home. The area is beautiful with walks and historic little villages to visit. We would definitely stay here again.

It was very thoughtful to leave some basic store cupboard things to start us off - eg tea, coffee, milk etc. the only downside is the local area doesnât have nearby eating places or many convenience stores - just a small one in the village which would suit basic needs. Would recommend this cottage though as it has everything you would want for your stay and more.
