Spacious bungalow with a lovely view from the conservatory. Two quibbles - firstly the matress of the double bed is quite uncomfortable and needs updating. Secondly there are only four seats in the conservatory. This was the room we used the most and either involved two people sitting on the window ledge or bringing in the wooden chairs from the kitchen. We still very much enjoyed our stay and exploring the general area.

Great location for the many delights of N Wales. The bungalow itself is very spacious,clean,warm& well equipped with gorgeous views over the valley,with added advantage of only being a 10minute drive to the coast. Owners live just a little further along the drive & are helpful but unobtrusive. Gill & Mike. March 24

Beds very comfortable. Had to do a bit of sprucing up when we arrived, but apart from that, we had a really good stay. This holiday home is very central for many great places to visit. Wonderful log fire and huge tv which was fab.
