Really spacious, clean, comfortable and a fabulous location for us with beautiful views if you love the green countryside. We went into Bala, a local little town and did the steam train which was lovely and then had fish and chips at the local chip shop there. It rained on the Saturday and we were all happy to stay in and play games, do a jigsaw and the men watched the football while my mother watched Frozen in the other living room. The rooms were all lovely and the facilities in the house were fantastic. The hot tub was a great hit even for my 80 year old mom. We will definitely go back again.

Isolated. We were lucky with the weather. Dull, wet conditions might have made it less enjoyable as there aren't many attractions within an hour's drive. Facilities would have been improved by some medium-sized saucepans and large drinking glasses. Pints, say. Purists might prefer champagne flutes to the generic wine glasses. The dishwasher seemed to be full of crumbs or coffee grounds, despite several attempts at cleaning the filters and heads. A huge compacted plug of felt had to be poked out of the vacuum cleaner before it worked. That must have taken weeks to accumulate!
