A stone spiral staircase with oak steps lead upstairs from the lounge, complete with slit window reminiscent of an arrow hole.

Wonderfully situated, perfect for trips throughout North Wales. Very cosy and venerable old house. It was a great week and we felt very welcomed by the owner Mari. The little forest behind the garden with the little creek is lovely and especially our kids enjoyed it a lot.

Comfortable cottage, slightly quirky style but that adds to the appeal, the host was friendly and welcoming and we would happily book again when we next want to visit the area.

Just spent a lovely weekend at this chocolate box cottage, which was brimming with character. Kitchen had everything you needed and it was so lovely to spend cosy nights by the fire.

Beautiful and quirky, this property has so much history obvious all around it. Would have liked more storage in the main bedroom but there is ample in the twin bed room. Kitchen well stocked. Located in the middle of so many areas to visit in all directions, it felt like a good base to be. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and paid for 2 weeks what weRead more had to pay for 1 week in Somerset a couple of years ago, excellent value for money. The host is lovely and on hand to help if its needed. Theres an extended garden section, with trees, a stream and lots of fun for our children and the dogs. Hide
