Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with most guests finding it clean upon arrival. However, a few guests noted the presence of dog hairs and a need for deeper cleaning of soft furnishings and rugs, slightly lowering the score.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, proximity to walking paths, and ease of access to local attractions and amenities. The scenic views and peaceful environment contribute to a high score in this category.
Guests find the cottage cosy and well-equipped, with a comfortable bed and a lovely bath. Some guests mention the steep stairs and firm mattress as less comfortable aspects, which affects the score slightly.
The facilities are generally appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the wood burner. However, comments about the need for a better TV setup, issues with the projector, and suggestions for a washing machine indicate room for improvement.
Many guests are delighted by the thoughtful touches such as starter logs for the fire, dishwasher tablets, and coffee pods. While these gifts are warmly received, it is noted that such amenities are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

We did find the bed a bit hard and pillows flat, but thatâs a personal preference. Some beautiful walks from the cottage and not far from snowdon. We loved our stay and canât wait to rebook in the near future, when hopefully less rain, to explore north Wales further. Owners are lovely and the information folder they have made is great help.

We stayed here for 5 nights 2 adults one child and two dogs. It is small and compact but when you are only in it for a short while it doesnât matter. There is a co-op in Penygroes which is great for all food and has a cash machine. We also got Chinese from the Beijing which was brilliant. It cost £ 20 to get to the centre of Carnarfon, we got a lift there with friends staying near by! Best place to eat is Black Boy, food is fab and filling. Thank you
