    “This cottage was truly idyllic; the complete peace and isolation in the area was just what our weary souls needed.”

    The facilities were simple but ample, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped for the home cook. We really enjoyed not having access to a tv; it led to such quiet in the evenings and the log burner was a welcome focal point. We also really enjoyed exploring the area and walking up Moel Tryfan; there are some remarkable vantage points that are begging to be explored!

    The facilities were simple but ample, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped for the home cook. We really enjoyed not having access to a tv; it led to such quiet in the evenings and the log burner was a welcome focal point. We also really enjoyed exploring the area and walking up Moel Tryfan; there are some remarkable vantage points that are begging to be explored! We had a couple of troubles during our stay (related to heating and hot water) but between the Housekeeping team and the owner, they were dealt with well and the issues resolved. We wanted to extend thanks for the promptness and communication through these maintenance works! A great holiday and one which will help keep us afloat until we can book to come back.
