The cottage is just beautiful, finished to a very high standard. There is everything that you would need for a comfortable, peaceful and enjoyable stay. The log burner was the icing on the cake, especially enjoyed by our little dog Ned! Communication with the lovely owner and her team was exceptional, and the bottle of bubbly and chocs on arrival were very much appreciated. The cottage is short walk from the beautiful beach, shops for essentials and a lovely community pub (doggy friendly). We wished we could have stayed longer, it was just what was needed after a hectic Christmas. I would imagine staying here in the summer would be great too, as thereâs a lovely secure garden with furniture to use. We would love to return to Arwel at some point in future and look forward to doing so!

It was a last minute booking so didnât have time to do much research but the Arwel turned out to be perfect. It was spotlessly clean, plenty of space for us all and it had a really lovely, cosy feel to the place. We had a gorgeous New Yearâs Day walk to the beach and we stopped off at the local (dog friendly) pub which was great too. I would definitely recommend a stay at the Arwel and will probably return to it ourselves at some point.

The walk along the headland to the Ty Coch Inn was spectacular and the house was welcoming and cosy to come back to. The house itself is clean, beautifully furnished and well equipped if you are planning on catering for yourselves. If you are looking for a cosy getaway in North Wales, I would thoroughly recommend Arwel.
