    “Hosts were very friendly and helpful.”

    Accommodation was clean and comfortable. We were there in a wet December, if you're going walk in the hills you need some waterproof boots as the ground can be boggy. If you are there in winter and using the wood burner then bring some logs they are expensive at the local Tesco. The accommodation is ideally situated to explore the local hills (quiet and potentially challenging), the beautiful beaches or for a visit to Portmerion.

    Accommodation was clean and comfortable. We were there in a wet December, if you're going walk in the hills you need some waterproof boots as the ground can be boggy. If you are there in winter and using the wood burner then bring some logs they are expensive at the local Tesco. The accommodation is ideally situated to explore the local hills (quiet and potentially challenging), the beautiful beaches or for a visit to Portmerion. There's a lovely shared garden with tables and seating at the property that we did not use due to the weather but would be lovely in the warmer months. We have some very challenging weather conditions but we still had a lovely time.
