The location is highly praised for its beautiful scenery, proximity to walking routes, and good access to local amenities and the train station, making it an excellent base for exploring Snowdonia.
Guests find the beds comfortable but frequently mention that the sofas are old and uncomfortable. The cottage is described as cosy, though some guests noted it can be cold in the living room despite the fire.
The cottage is generally seen as well-equipped, but several guests noted the need for modernisation and maintenance, particularly regarding the sofas, TV size, and heating efficiency. The mixed feedback on facilities suggests room for improvement.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

I had a very enjoyable stay at this cosy cottage. The kitchen is small but as I was on my own it was perfect. The cottage was exactly what I needed for my trip exploring North Wales with my camera and nowhere was too far. The bed is super comfy.
