Everything was clean, tidy and well equipped and an excellent location to explore Snowdonia. The local pub, Y Pengwern was also really welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!

This is one of our favourite cottages in the area. We have stayed in over 30 different cottages and visit this area approximately every 2 months. The standards, comfort, facilities, cleanliness and provisions are superb. There was no concern with heating unlike some cottages that have limits on timers and low thermostat settings. The heating was really great, no restrictions to set temperature and remained on as long as you desired. So very comfy and warm. Very generous supply of logs and the wood stove was very effective (unlike some places) . The kitchen facilities has all one could possibly need for our stay. Comfy bed and plenty of space. Overall an amazing place to stay with wonderful views and parking right outside the cottage. Highly recommend

The owner has considered their visitors needs well and we thoroughly enjoyed it. If you are looking for a cottage a little off the beaten track (but only a little drive to get to local spots) then this is perfect. Everyone we spoke to was polite and pleasant and the parking is right outside the cottage. Lovely little stay, we will definitely be back again!
