Nice cottage with comfortable beds, very good showers and nice garden. Only issue was the horses have gone from across the road. :(

The house is well equipped with all the essentials, along with little extras like hand-wash in all the bathrooms, toilet rolls and some washing powder etc. The only small niggle was that the bath water only runs lukewarm, definitely not warm enough for a bath. The views over the Menai Strait were gorgeous, I think we watched each sunset from the living room window! The village is very quiet with no shops, but has a lovely slate walk through the countryside and village. We spent a few days exploring and there is lots to see and do in the area, we explored Bangor, Caernarfon and went up The Snowdon Mountain Railway. We would definitely recommend staying here, thanks again Michael.
