Lovely little cottage in a stunning location. Perfectly placed for venturing out to the touristy areas, in all directions, most within 30 minutes. Lovely pub at bottom of lane. Really was a home from home. We had a fantastic relaxing holiday and the dog enjoyed the secure garden. Lovely walks straight from the door, and the locals were all incredibly friendly. Great communication with the owners. Beautiful area with fantastic views of North Wales.
