?????????
Itâs a very quiet and peaceful place, and the fireplace is absolutely wonderful. A big thank you to the hostess for the delicious cake that was waiting for us in the cottage when we arrived â it was such a lovely and thoughtful surprise, and very tasty. The house has everything you need for comfort and coziness

Absolutly quiet and perfect calm area. Just what we wanted and were looking for, in the middle of nowhere but easy access to somewhere. The cottage is in very need of refurbishment. The mattresses are outdated and when one turned the other were jumping, as well after a week our back were hurting. Don't know how it works out if you are with 4 person as e.g. the hot water of the shower last only for 1 and then the 2nd has to wait half a day for its shower. Some spiderweb and dust all over and none of the doorlocks were working either. The main door nor utility room door. The owner (or son) tried to look at the locks, but said its like weeks/months not working and couldn't and didn't solve the problem. I would go there again this year if all issues been solved as it is exactly what we were looking for between xmas and after new year.

Close enough to small or larger towns but also a great place to hid away and relax. Harlech isnât far so l had plenty of time to practice my Welsh with some very very patient locals
