First of all Glenn and Ann were brilliant hosts who welcomed us to their cottage. The cottage is set in a very quiet area with a small gated off area for our dog which was very useful. There are also 3 paddocks/fields we could use to let our dog run around in which were excellent for early morning and late evening. The cottage was very clean and tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. There is a smart TV in the living room area and the bedroom. The shower is excellent with either a normal hand held shower or you can change it to the waterfall type shower if you prefer. The bed is super comfy and has no wooden end board where you crack your ankles if you are tall. I'm 6'5" and it was perfect. There is also a wood burner but we didn't need to use it. Yes we had to drive to supermarkets or the beach but these are only 10 minutes from the cottage which was ideal. Overall we had a fantastic week and would highly recommend this cottage if you are after some peace and quiet along with comfort.

Lovely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Slept well and the shower was powerful. Use of the adjoining paddocks was a lovely treat for the dogs. Friendly host who were very helpful. Great location for exploring the north coast of wales
