Driveway and parking a nightmare! Entrance too tight, drive too steep, gravel went everywhere. No other parking options. Large cars would really struggle.Hot tub never got hot enough. Television was really difficult to watch from settees due to them being 90 degrees to each other. Stairs way too steep. Light switches in odd places, bathroom switch in stairs bedroom switch behind door. Kitchen was nice, well equipped.

Stunning modern, stylish and clean cottage in a blissful setting, yet only just over a mile from the A470. The cottage is tastefully decorated and well equipped.We stayed with our 11 year old who loved the cottage (and Smart tv / strong Wi-Fi!!!) and the area - we visited Llandudno , Portmeirion, King Arthur’s mines, Llandudno mines and the lovely Conwy and Betws y Coed - plenty to occupy a week. Zip world is close by too.Hot tub was a real bonus which we all enjoyed.As others have commented the driveway is a slight challenge however we soon learnt to reverse on and park at the bottom section so it wasn’t an issue.

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.
