The house is great, the views are beautiful. The only one thing that needs updating is the sofa bed, not a great mattress but other than that itâs an amazing holiday. Will be booking again.

The pictures hardly ever look like the reality but in this case, real life surpassed the pictures. We stayed for a week with friends and our dog and had an amazing time. The location is spot on with so many things to do so close by, even the ability to walk to a beach. Weather was lovely too and the log burner was fabulous to take away the evening chill. The fellas enjoyed the games room! Loved every minute and will be booking again. Thank you for this gem of a cottage.

A lovely little complex of cottages, where a lot of thought has gone in to creating private views from each of the properties, and the quality of the furnishings was excellent. The location was brilliant, just a short drive into Porthmadog or down to Black Rock Sands. We were lucky and had excellent weather, just cold. Only comment would be, some reading lights in the conservatory area would have been useful. Would thoroughly recommend,
