Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, though a few mentioned areas where cleanliness could be improved, such as cobwebs and stained sofas. The majority of reviews, however, reflect a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful countryside, and proximity to Snowdonia National Park. It is considered ideal for a peaceful retreat, with many guests appreciating the remote setting.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with generous room sizes and a cosy atmosphere. Some guests mentioned issues with mattresses and a lack of shower mats, but these were not widespread concerns.
The facilities, including the hot tub and wood burning stove, are well-liked, but some guests reported maintenance issues with appliances and outdoor furniture. The lack of Wi-Fi was noted, but not always negatively.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored, and guests should not expect gifts as part of their stay.

Well presented and comfortable inside. Reasonably well equipped kitchen. We had an issue with one of the showers but this was resolved quickly. Remember to take your own toilet rolls as very little provided.

Loved going to to the river and using the hot tub. A new experience for us all. Great wee pub close by and some good local walks and cycling. Would love to come back at some point.

It's very clean and comfortable and the scenery is breathtaking. If We were to suggest anything it would be to put the name sign at the top of the driveway as it's tucked away so we'll and easily driven past.
