Spotlessly clean and very tasteful and stylish property with superb views of Snowdon to the rear and Anglesey to the front (from the bedrooms and the low windows frame the view perfectly) it could not be in a better spot. It is dog friendly but the rear garden is not secure so we took a long tether. The kitchen area is very well equipped and all items appear to be new and high quality. Lovely welcome pack provided. Good communication with friendly hosts in the main house. The walk to the local pub is down a very steep hill. Ok going down but you need to be super fit to get back up! Definitely going back next year if itâs not fully booked.

Itâs very clean and well equipped. Would like to thank Edgar and his wife for providing us with a dog crate. It save us some space in the car not having to bring our own. We appreciate it very much. Also, Edgar is a lovely guy, communicated with me clearly even before the start of our holiday and made sure that we are alright. Will definitely book this holiday house again in the future.
