It was extremely well furnished and extremely clean. The beds were spotless and comfortable. What more can I say, it was a great stay. We were also pleased that there were three toilets. It's an ideal spot to visit North Wales. We had a fantastic Sunday Lunch in the Portmeirion Hotel. You don't pay admission to the site if you have Sunday lunch, which makes the meal very unexpensive. It was so good we wanted to go back the next day for a meal but you have to pay admisson charges in the week. We went to Anglesey and to Ynys Llanddwyn and Traeth Llanddwyn. It's a fabulous beach and you park really close to it. There is a half hour walk to the island and you have to watch the tide. Then we went to Plas Newydd, which is just down the road from the beach, and had a red squirrel guided walk, which was a thrill, as I haven't seen any for seventy years. It was an excellent short holiday and I hope this info helps

Close to where we wanted to be which was the Slate Caverns and easy access to Snowdon area. Only stayed 3 nights but could have stayed much longer, had everything we needed and more. Will go again if going back to that area.
