Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage clean, particularly the bathroom and kitchen. However, a few mentioned the presence of dog hairs and a need for deeper cleaning of soft furnishings and rugs. The overall impression is of a well-maintained property with minor areas for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its quiet setting with stunning views and convenient access to local attractions, beaches, and walking paths. The proximity to Snowdonia National Park is a significant highlight for many guests.
Guests generally find the cottage cosy and well-equipped, though some reported the beds and sofas to be uncomfortable. The steep stairs were noted as a challenge, particularly for night-time bathroom visits. The snug room was appreciated for its cosiness.
The cottage's facilities, including the kitchen and bathroom, are well-regarded. However, guests have suggested upgrades for the TV and streaming services, and some experienced issues with the projector. The lack of a washing machine was noted, but the presence of a dishwasher was appreciated.
While guests have not specifically mentioned gifts, they have noted the provision of starter logs for the fire and a cleaning pack. The lack of explicit references to gifts or additional thoughtful touches means a score cannot be provided in this category.

Sensitively restored, we particularly liked the bathroom (great shower with plentiful and immediate hot water). The owners were super helpful and quick to respond to the couple of questions we had. We also got lucky enough to have sunshine allowing for two evening meals outside listening to the birdsong.

We did find the bed a bit hard and pillows flat, but thatâs a personal preference. Some beautiful walks from the cottage and not far from snowdon. We loved our stay and canât wait to rebook in the near future, when hopefully less rain, to explore north Wales further. Owners are lovely and the information folder they have made is great help.
