There's also delightful wood beams and a modern open plan kitchen with breakfast bar, opening into the cosy sitting area. Ideally placed for exploring the majestic mountains, along with the fabulous footpaths of Snowdonia, which trail from the doorstep, this cottage nestles in a peaceful part of North Wales, making it a wonderful place for a rural romantic retreat.

The cottage was lovely such a home to home feel which is great with a child who likes routine and a puppy. The cottage was clean and stunning. Comfy beds and our boy loved his little bed for the week. Views are stunning. Ben will tell you the best walks around you donât have to climb Snowdonia if youâre staying there. There is a big mountain behind you to climb! Sheep for miles and water falls! The road leading up to the cottage is single but amazing views and rarely meet other cars. If you do there are places to pull in. Just had the best time. Thank you again and I will be telling everyone about your cottage.

Lovely cottage with everything you may need inside. Great host who is very friendly and makes sure all is OK. Lovely area and plenty of information and maps for the many walks on the doorstep. All the previous reviews were right. One of the best places we have stayed in.
