A lovely cottage in a great location with some special little touches that make all the difference. Great views, comfy beds, a well-equipped kitchen, milk in the fridge and the fire set ready to go ... thank you so much.

A great location for walks in the local area including forest tracks from the cottage front door. There is a shop, pub and hotel in the village and the villagers are very friendly. There is a train station so you can go and explore areas across to Llandudno and Blaenau Ffestiniog easily without getting in the car. The cottage is cosy, well equipped, has a parking space and has a lovely garden which is secure for dogs. The owners are quick to respond and helpful if needed.
