Great location for exploring north Wales. Fantastic host who greets you on arrival with a warm welcome. Located on a working farm, the cottage is approximately 20mins walk along the costal path to Caernarfon. We found an excellent restaurant called Wal that allows dogs so that was a bonus!Thank you for having us!
