The owners were welcoming and available as necessary. The kitchen was well kitted out with all you could need and the seating and beds were comfortable. The standard of everything is very high. It's in a great position for travelling to various parts of North Wales. We enjoyed Bodnant Gardens on the way home too, its only 10 minutes away.

The cottage has everything you could need and the setting is just lovely. Our grandson had a great time playing with the cats and watching the chickens and sheep; this was his first trip to Wales and it could not have been better. Thankyou so much for such a perfect stay.
