Bedrooms are a good size and our bed was king-size and very comfortable. There are 2 on suites and a shared bathroom, from experience ide say the only downside is there is no loo on the top floor which means a long creaky walk for a night time toilet visit. There is a lovely barbecue and plenty of wood for the stove ( We never needed it as the house is plenty warm enough ) your pretty much in-between Llangollen and Betws y coed there's a large Aldi and a home bargains in Llangollen and a realy good pub 5 mins walk away in Rhydlydan that does food. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did, Thanks Glan nug we all loved it.

Only had a slight problem, with the back yard and the fact there is no grass, one of my dogs refused to go to the toilet on the concrete, but there is lots of beautiful walks near by. Location is spot on, beautiful view out the back, lots of cows and sheep and the pub over the road is fab. Doggie friendly too. Cottage is on the main A5 but didnt disturb us atall. Great comfy cottage in a fab central location. Thankyou to the owner!!
