We had a lovely week at this cottage over Easter. Had everything we needed and was cosy and comfortable. Loads of walks and a short drive to vist local attractions. Climbed Snowdon via the rangers path and views were amazing. Local pub had good food and staff were friendly . Good local bus service if you don't want to drive ideal base for walkers and for anyone wanting to experience Snowdon and North Wales.

A pleasant cottage at the base of Snowdon, the living area has a log burner to supplement the central heating making the whole place quite cosy. There are some steep steps into the back garden and stairs to the first floor bedrooms, which mean you have to be quite physically able and mobile. This is a perfect cottage as a base for walking the local area with footpaths running from the back of the property. When we visited (March) there was on street parking available outside the cottage, or further into the village, the road is quite narrow outside the cottage.

A fantastic little cottage at the foot of Snowdon in a pretty little village a short drive from Caernarfon. The house is in good decorative order and was spotlessly clean. Kitchen was well equipped and everything worked perfectly. Bed was very warm and comfortable. Parking is on the street but most is unrestricted so was not a problem for us. Good local pub serves great food and was only 1 minute walk away.
