My daughter and I had a wonderful week here with our dogs. The owners met us at the cottage, they were so welcoming, heating was on, wood burner lit and much appreciated as it was raining when we arrived. Very well equipped kitchen, it had everything you needed. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms-in short, a very cozy holiday home.

A very clean , comfortable and convivial cottage. Fantastic location means you don't have to spend half a day driving to enjoy the best that North Wales has to offer. Nice to chat with Mr.Thomas who was very friendly and helpful. Tip : If you want to see the little church , avoid going across the fields where there are cows. Go back to the crossRead moreroads TR and follow your nose along a coastal stretch which will take you virtually to the front door. Hide

A comfortable cottage with a lovely welcome from the owner. We had terrible weather so didn't benefit from the garden . The adjoining fields were great for our dog to run off steam . A very good selection of toys in the house which were enjoyed by the grandchildren. An excellent location as not far from good beaches and attractions.

We only stayed at the cottage for one night therefore it doesnt seem appropriate to give feedback. We were ill when we arrived and felt worse the next day so decided to pack up and return home. Original cottages were excellent at dealing with our booking.
