The cottage was lovely and very quiet and safe. 10 to 15 minute drive from most places including supermarket and beach. The enclosed garden was ideal and had a hot tub which was lovely although it did turn my hair green! The sofas weren’t what we were shown on booking so we were disappointed with those as they weren’t comfortable at all. We weren’t given fresh towels, new toilet paper and the hot tub wasn’t checked during the week we were there so that was again disappointing. Overall a nice stay and trip to wales with beautiful scenery.

Lovely barn conversion cottage, chosen because it really is out of the way. Feels very remote on an evening watching the sun set from the hot tub. Porthmadog 10 minutes away with some good spots to eat. We had an extremely chilled 4 days and would go back again, was a little sad to be leaving, thats when you know, you picked the right place.. The hosts were dead friendly and complete pleasure.
