    “Lovely cottage with lots of charm.”

    A welcome tray with essentials like tea, coffee, sugar etc was a lovely touch as were the flowers. We liked having a comfortable place to come back to in the evening with nice comfy sofas and the tv. A well equipped kitchen with all the utensils and utilities you’d need. Comfy beds! A lovely big bath for a nice soak after a long day exploring. It is right in the town so the shops are very close as are the restaurants and cafes. The garden is beautiful with the stream at the end and sounds ...

A lovely big bath for a nice soak after a long day exploring. It is right in the town so the shops are very close as are the restaurants and cafes. The garden is beautiful with the stream at the end and sounds lovely. Parking is super easy especially being in the town. The internet was easy to connect to and worked well. Things we’d like to have had or known: an extra shelf in the oven as cooking for 4 or more is tricky on one shelf. The Royal Mail sorting centre next door start early, so if you’re not an early riser, you may well hear them. If you would like to use the wood burning stove, you need to buy some kindling as it’s not supplied. The cottage is charming but a good clean into the corners would make it even better. We had a a great stay and would recommend here to anyone wanting to explore this area of Wales.

This small, beautiful market town is located in the heart of southern Snowdonia, between the imposing Cader Idris mountain range and the sea.
