  A lovely cottage, and beautiful setting, quiet and with lovely views both sides.

  All was clean and well maintained. Pros and cons to all 3 bedrooms: Loft bedroom has the best views and best bed, and black-out blinds in the window, but the steep and uneven staircase is unenclosed with no door so less private and hard to block out light and noise from the rest of the house. Being a loft room, much of the space is too low to walk upright in. Our kids loved hanging out in there. Small double bedroom (middle floor) has a useful built in cupboard and is fine except for having the bathroom macerator the other side of the thin internal wall from the bathroom. The macerator is about as subtle as a pneumatic drill when in use. Twin bedroom has lovely views but mattresses are not great (very wobbly). Living-dining room is comfy, but sofa seating seats 4 comfortably or 6 at a squash. Piano is a nice extra, if you are not fussy about the tuning. WiFi worked well (no phone reception in the area). Kitchen although small is well equipped. Although I have outlined some niggles above, we had a lovely stay here. There was lots to do within a reasonable drive (and despite the apparently remote location, a fabulous coffee shop within walking distance!) and the cottage was comfortable for hunkering down in when rain stopped play.

  We were warmly greeted by our lovely hosts Ron and Glen even though it was quite late when we arrived.

  They live next door and looked out for us arriving. We were given a tour of the 4 bedroomed property which was very clean, spacious and warm and didn't take us long to settle in. The garden was perfect for our 2 dogs and well secured. Only one improvement I'd recommend is in the single room next to the living room which would probably be better suited with a small double bed as ample room for one. It was the perfect base for us, we walked to the Menai Bridge, visited Bangor Pier and the stunning Aber falls, popped over to Llandwyn in Angelsey and walked to the lighthouse, visited Llandudno's Pier and shopping centre which is huge. The weather on the whole was great. Lots of pubs and restaurants are dog friendly and even bring a bowl of water over for them. We visited the Bridge Inn, Antelope Inn, The Castle, Tap and Spile (but now got a new name) with a chippy attached, the cafe on Bangor Pier and The Skerries. We would highly recommend this lovely house and great for visiting the many nearby attractions. Thank you for having us.

  This was a nice house in a very beautiful location.

  Check in and out were very easy, and lots of detailed information was provided for guests. Our only issue was that we have small children, and the only room where a travel cot could fit was the attic room. We weren't expecting this, as the booking suggests that children can be easily accommodated. Going up and down an extremely steep and narrow-stepped stairway with a baby and a two-year-old was treacherous. Also, as it's the attic room, you can hear absolutely everything from below and also everything going on in the room, so the other people we were staying with could hear our children throughout the night, and as they are also early risers, this was disruptive. Also, do bring your own hand soap and toilet roll, as these were in short supply and we needed to replace these in the house on day two. If we didn't have children with us though, this would have been an ideal place to stay as it really is lovely.

  We stayed at Number One The Granary (for 4 weeks) It’s a lovely place, just as the photos show, very well equipped kitchen (able to cook full meals no problem), good size bathroom, comfortable beds and sofas.

  Excellent dog proof garden, our Westie was very happy with the garden. We arrived to flowers, some nice sweet treats including Welsh cakes and a bottle of wine - these were unexpected and absolutely delicious, a lovely touch that we appreciated. Made our arrival very welcoming. The hosts are a lovely friendly family. We got to know them over the 4 weeks. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and easy. The property is very well set up for families with dogs, a dog exercise area and lots of grounds like the orchard you can explore (if the horses are not using). Also close to dog friendly beaches, supermarkets and of course good pubs! I can highly recommend this as a place to stay. We would definitely return for another visit.

  We had a lovely stay in this great cottage.

  Felt like going from home to home, in a beautiful location. Wish we could have taken the views back with us. Well equipped cottage, the only downsides were the loft bedroom is very noisy during bad weather/rain especially at night; the toilet seat was not attached in upstairs bathroom making it practical impossible to use that toilet; and each bed had a different hardness of mattresses and pillows which was fantastic for chosing which one suited you best, but due to steep stairs to loft, it limits who is able to access that bedroom. However this is entirely understandable. We had an amazing time during our stay with lots of brilliant places to visit nearby. A great location for walking and exploring, but also travelling to surrounding areas.
