If you want stunning views and have right on the doorstep both mountains and the sea then this is the right place. You can drive 20 minutes east to get to Llanberis and 20 minutes west to Caernarfon for the town, the castle and the beaches. The cottage itself has everything you need (although some kitchen scales could be a useful addition) Paul was really helpful when we arrived and showed us where everything was and how to manage the heating system. We were here for a very cold weekend and the log burner was an added bonus. There is plenty of room for 4 people and lots of space for your dogs to run and play. The back garden is secure if you have bigger dogs, but if your dogs are smaller then you will need to keep an eye on them or keep them on a lead.

We were pleased to see our previous comments of a poker for the fire and side / coffee tables had been acted upon so swiftly. Hope to return again.

Very peaceful setting. Easy access to a wide selection of activities, a nice area to visit. Owners on site if needed, warm welcome but not obtrusive. We all relaxed and enjoyed meeting the horses. Have already rebooked a longer stay. everything we needed in the kitchen and beds were super comfy. A real gem.
