    The cottage was really lovely, well equipped, immaculately clean and a great cool, quiet place to relax in after a day out exploring the local area. There was lots to visit including lovely walks from the cottage and we actually had amazing weather. The food at the pub at the end of the road was very good and well priced. We would definitely recommend Moelwyn Cottage.

  • Janet

    The beds were so comfortable and high quality, lovely to have a little garden for my dog and parking was great. Would highly recommend would definately return if we come back to north wales. Felt like staying at a friends x

    The location was simply stunning, and very peaceful. The cottage itself is in the middle of a long terrace with several properties on the road. In some situations having frequently changing holiday guests in such a quiet residential street could be seen as an issue, but this was clearly not the case; the owner has clearly developed a good relationship with her neighbours and provided excellent instructions to her guests so that issues of disturbance are unlikely to arise,. An unforgettable, 100% positive experience! Nikhil and Mathilde
