Petra
It was the perfect get away with 3 generations of family (6adults, 2teenagers &10m) lovely peaceful location with views of the sea across the fields. Beautiful presented garden areas. One with a BBQ & seating areas. Plenty of parking for 3 large vehicles. The other garden area included the hot tub which was a massive hit from which are lovely views. Lots of outdoor seating space on the decking which stretched across the back of the property. Lovely for chilling in the mornings with a coffee & evenings with a glass of wine overlooking the views. Interior is extremely well furnished & beds were so comfortable also the bedding of fantastic quality. Also sea views from some from the beds you really donât want to move! There is ample dining space again with picturesque views from the table & plenty of separate rooms so if in a large group you can be doing different things, especially teenagers (& dads) in the snug playing on their PlayStation. Then in the evenings we enjoyed quality time playing games from the vast amount supplied in the study although we didnât use the dvds beware there a vast amount also with lots of books about. The large conservatory was another hit esp for Grandpa to hmm rest his eyes! The kitchen where to start! Every single thing you can ever need also an air fryer. Delyth the owner has really given thought to everything you would need like at home. Delyth popped by to say hello & was absolutely charming & helpful. The property is warm, cosy, lovely & big and makes you feel very homely. Well catered for the dogs with loads of bowls & throws & some treats left for them too. Also we had plenty of towels left for us all. Itâs a perfect base for Nth Wales, Snowdon, slate museum, Anglesey etc. We ordered fish & chips from Ainsworth at Caernarfon & collected them. Also had curries from Sopna & had it delivered. We have made some lovely family memories & would love to return! Everyone really loved our stay. Thank you so much Delyth for an incredible stay at your beautiful home!

The house has everything you could need so you don't have to over pack, eg. every kitchen utensil you'd need, french press, camping chairs, dog blankets and dog towels. The house felt like a home from home, we were quick to feel relaxed there and the dogs loved it too. The gardens are lovely, the scenes were gorgeous and very much enjoyed from the hot tub! Thank you for a wonderful time, we're already thinking of when we can return!
