This is difficult because the weather was so bad during our stay that for the first time ever we came home a day early; which alters your view. The cottage comes with a large enclosed garden which was good for the dogs and nice to sit out on the two dry afternoons we had. The stairs were difficult for me as I only recently had a knee replacement. WRead moree didnt need to use the electric radiators or log burner. The bedrooms were large and the beds comfortable, an upstairs loo would have been welcome. Hide

Just perfect for us! Situated in a beautiful area of North Wales. Ideal for dog owners with the walks/breaches in close vicinity and the secure, private rear garden. The house has everything you need for a holiday in Wales. Have to mention the steep stairs to the bedrooms and some low door frames, but this is all part of the old traditional buildinRead moreg, and you soon become accustomed to them! Hide

Lovely, comfortable and well equipped cottage with a great garden (very secure for dogs). Just a few steps away from the cafe at the community centre where the breakfasts are first class, and from The Railway Inn for a warm welcome and delicious, home cooked food. Great base from which to visit Tywyn, Aberdyfi and Dolgoch Falls.
