It's beautifully decorated and well looked after, very comfy beds and sofa with a huge TV and plenty of pots and pans for cooking. We would really reccomend a visit to Plas Newydd house and grounds and a ride on the steam trains at Llangollen station.

This time, we didnât feel it was quite as clean as in previous visits but this would not stop us from staying here again. Location perfect. Bed comfortable. Great shower. We would love there to be a washing machine! Perfect place for a couple!
