Along the corridor,  there is a comfortable double bedroom which leads to a stylish en-suite shower room one step down.

Up the private drive, past the owners home, the property nestles on the gravelled courtyard with superb countryside views. You can enjoy alfresco dining in the patio area with table, chairs, charcoal BBQ and pretty borders with lovely views. There are also a number of shared spaces to sit and relax in the nine acres of grounds. Maybe picnic by the standing stones or at the top of the garden near the trees. If you are bringing your bike there is lockable storage and an outside tap with hose available. Plenty of outside space for your canoe or kayak. The shared, spacious, vaulted ceiling games barn is also accessible from the courtyard and offers a wide range of fun activities to enjoy, including Free View with large wall projection, darts, table tennis, slate bed pool table and high quality hi-fi system. Ample private parking on site, within walking distance to the property. Please note that the path from the car parking area is quite steep.

The owners have also wilded seven acres of the grounds to make a small sanctuary for wildlife with the creation of a large natural lake, new copses and wildflower meadows. Guests are welcome to walk around the lake but swimming and fishing are prohibited, but a wander through the wildflower meadow on a summer's evening is a real nature lovers treat.

This place is even better than it looks, you can tell Gail and Jerry are very passionate about it. The cottage was clean and tidy with everything you could need. A peaceful sleep, followed by relaxing mornings to the sound of bird song and sheep and a hot tub plus games room for evenings. The location is quite rural but that's part of the charm. ThRead moree air and drinking water is fresh and it's within an hours drive of all the cool stuff in North Wales. We'd love to go again and we highly recommend. Hide

We had an amazing day at Owl Roost cottage, Spotlessly clean, it had everything you could ever need, they have thought of everything, from cotton pads to take make up off, to a drinks carrier to bring your drinks with you to the hot tub! We loved sitting out in the garden in the morning, listening to the birds and the lambs. The hosts are so kind, Read morewe broke down an hour away, and they picked us up AND dropped us back off at a garage after check out, We would have been really stuck without them! Hide

We arrived to a festive, cosy but spacious cottage with a lovely welcome gift, thank you. Waking up to the views each morning was a blessing. We had some sunny days which meant a sky full of stars at night. The cottage has everything you need to feel at home. We particularly enjoyed the wood burner to unwind after being outdoors. We would recommendRead more the Precipice Walk (thanks Gail), Llyn Brenig and Bala. This was our 3rd Stay and we will definitely be back. Thanks Gail and Jerry, perfect! Hide

For a north wales holiday/getaway there is no better place. Cottage is situated near to all the link roads but it is totally quiet in its placement. Awesome views, nice grounds, modern appliances, comfort throughout. Gail and Jerry are on hand if needed and greeted us on arrival however do not interfere with too much which is a lovely balance. Hot Read moretub is a great added bonus to what is an already excellent property Hide
