There are more outdoor shops here than you can shake a stick at, plus the amazing Zip World Fforest where you can experience several different adrenaline experiences, including the exciting Fforest Coaster and the ever-so-slightly-terrifying Plummet!

Shop, pub and restaurant 3 miles.

A great base for exploring North Wales or activities in the Snowdonia park. Welcoming owners providing a comfortable cottage. Hot tub great for relaxing after a busy day, however can be tight if more than 4 or 5 are in. Would definately use again.

Wonderfully peaceful former farmhouse! The place is huge and well-equipped for larger families, groups of friends, etc. The kitchen is exceptionally-well resourced with all you could need.The living spaces are massive and, although I didn't use the log burner, am sure it would make the space cosy.Hot tub is an added bonus after a day out - the only thing I would suggest is for there to be some plastic cups to enjoy a little drink!The 4 bedrooms are very individual and the en-suite a welcome addition.If you like cows and sheep and birds, this is the place for you and your loved ones to come!
