The roads to the house are very narrow and steep and the directions on sykes are wrong, it takes you to another house up the hill. There is a short track to the house, with eggs for sale at the start of the track. The house is on a small hobby farm, and there are a number of farm dogs that are roaming free, the dogs seemed friendly enough and only barked every now and then when we pulled up the drive then run back to their house. One liked to visit us in our garden jumping over the wall, we kept our dogs away as one was nervous of other dogs. The owners who lived on the farm were so friendly and helpful. We fell in love with the house and the views were just beautiful, the beds were super comfy. There was a few things that were broken in the house like the dining table chairs but it has most things you would need. We had a lovely roast at the pub nearby Y Bedol. Would love to stay again, its a great base for lots of attractions, bodnant gardens is a must see, just amazing.
