Super comfy bed and bed linen. Blackout curtains. Great sleep - no noise at all. Friendly, accommodating host and £100 cheaper than the Travelodge a few miles away. There is a shower, although no bath, but the cosiness and comfort of the flat, and bed and coach made up for it. Effective heating and constant hot water. Everything you need in terms of kitchen utensils and cooking facilities. Decent sized fridge and freezer. Reasonable sized TV. Very peaceful, just about heard the stream nearby - beautiful area, and lots of trees surrounding the flat. Outside seating and table for 2 people. Situated in a pretty village with no motorway traffic within hearing distance. Also, just a mile or so away from an Asda garage for all essentials, and about 6 miles from Llanberis and Mt. Snowdon. The host (who sings in a Welsh choir which tours the world!) kindly left us a big loaf of delicious, Welsh fruit cake. He does this for all arriving guests. A nice touch, and made us feel really welcome. One bit of advice - the apartment was quite difficult to locate initially, however, if you use the app 'What three words', then the exact location is:- 'Vibrating, Perfect, Piper' (ooer, lol). Overall, a perfect retreat for 2 people; comfortable, peaceful, and well-thought out.

It's great for just the one person - room to spread out but not so roomy that it feels enormous. The owner was very helpful and friendly, and the barabrith he made me was delicious! I will definitely consider coming back if I come to the area on my own again. (Did have to buy my own chopping board and peeler; would be good if these could be provided, but other than that, everything was great!)
