Nicola
It was a super cute cottage and perfect for our needs. The garden was fab for our 2 cocker spaniels and very safe and secure with a view over the coast and a sunset to die for. The log burning stove was a very welcome feature too and the Welcome folder had lots of information including some great walks from the cottage which was handy. Pam and Rob were fab hosts too - very knowledgeable about the area and on hand if you needed help with anything but never intruded on our stay. Would definitely return!

Very clean and comfortable and a superb base for all things outdoors. I would would highly recommend this if youâre looking for somewhere to base yourself to explore the mountains, and itâs not too far if Anglesey is somewhere youâd like to visit.
