The cottage was in a beautiful location, it was very clean and the hot tub was lovely! The stairs were very steep but we were aware of that from previous reviews and the driveway took some practice. The only issue we had was that the tin opener in the cottage was broken and the saucepans were very small to cook for 4 adults. We had a lovely week we enjoyed being right out in the countryside, we had beautiful sunshine and the cottage stayed nice and cool. We would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful week here and the cottage is gorgeous and perfect if you are having an activity week like we did. So well located for 3 of the zip world centres and also Snowdon etc. Hot tub is lovely and the welcome bottle of wine, milk, bread and butter was a super surprise and very much appreciated. I would however, note that the stairs are rather steep and i would not recommend them for anyone with walking difficulties. the rest of the cottage is gorgeous. I would also advise taking care when parking at the cottage if you have a large car (as we do) as it is a little tricky but with practice you soon get used to it. All in all i loved it here and would definitely recommend anyone to this place. Thank you. x
