It was very clean and warm. We stayed last year and enjoyed it so much that we booked again. This time, however, the bed was quite uncomfortable. The foam mattress seemed to have collapsed at the sides. Also, we think that the settee and chair upstairs should be renewed as they are quite worn and uncomfortable to sit on. The bathroom got steamed up as the fan didnt work. In general, the lighting could be improved as its either very bright or dark. There needs to be more ambient lighting, or dimmer switches.

steep twisty lanes through YFelinheli to get to it but a lovely spot. nicely laid out with everything you need for self catering, the memory foam mattress appears to have lost its memory though. I found it a great base to go exploring from,easy to get onto Anglesey or into the mountains or along the coast from here.
