I found the shower a little neat.
The access to the cottage and parking is tight. I coped with this for the week, right up until we were leaving when I scraped the rear sill and wheel.

"We absolutely loved our little cottage, we had everything we needed, the extra large bed was particularly comfortable and the bedroom plenty big enough to house our puppy pen."
Be careful driving as the lanes up to the house are extremely narrow and we did scrape our car on both sides, despite taking extreme care. Our host Robin next door was absolutely lovely and was there if we needed anything but totally unobtrusive. Gorgeous cottage with incredible views.

"The cottage was clean and comfy ,warm, and had everything you could need during your stay."
The garden was a plus and our dogs loved it, but it was Also nice that it was enclosed and secure. It was lovely after a day out to come back and sit in the garden with a coffee, and watch the world go by. Seeing the harvest moon rise was a sight I will never forget ~it was spectacular.
The bed was absolutely huge and extremely comfortable, and the furnishings were within keeping of a cottage of that age. Carrying our luggage up from the village car park was a struggle initially, as the lane is VERY narrow just before the cottage, and we didn’t feel confident enough to drive up the last part to get to the private driveway, however by the next day we had learned to master it with care.
The kitchen had plenty of cooking equipment in it and plenty of crockery. It also had 2 frying pans which were true to their description of being non stick! We were also gifted a Bara Brith plus tea coffee milk and sugar for our arrival. There were also lots of other kitchen items such as cling film, washing up liquid, fabric conditioner, work top spray, dishcloths, foil ,kitchen towels and tea towels ~ all provided for us !!!
The cottage is really close to some lovely places. Penrhyn Bay, Llandudno, The Great Orme, Rhos on Sea, and Colwyn Bay are minutes away, and we visited all of these several times. The village pubs are literally 2~3 minutes walk away, and very welcoming. There’s another pub about 1mile away which also does food too.
Anglesey, Bettws Y Coed, and Llanberris are all stunning and well worth the visit, and there is so much more to see and do. For rainy days there’s a small book library or dvds at your disposal, plus cards and other games.
The owners Robin and Fiona live next door to the cottage, and are there on hand for any problems you may have-but you are given total privacy to enjoy their property, which is really nice. It felt really homely there.
All in all it was a peaceful relaxing break, spent in a beautiful part of Wales.

"Positives:- beautiful views, clean kitchen and bathroom, spacious bedroom, owner friendly and helpful with lots of helpful tips
Negatives:-driving up to cottage not for the faint hearted and the alternative option not very feasible i."
E parking on village hall - full most of the time only four or five spaces in any event and parking on the road unsuitable as narrow roads and residents parking. The living room tired and not much space - for 2 adults & 2 dogs
Lack of things to do unless you drive - two pubs within walking distance both lack atmosphere neither do food so unless you want to cook yourself you have to drive for a meal out

"The living room was too cramped and very disappointing."
The sofa & matching arm chair we very soft and took up too much space, in fact most of the space. Siting on a dining chair was not what we expected to have to do on holiday.It was difficilt for one person to sit at the table & the other to try & get past to get to the bedroom. The table was smaill and no lighting near it to do jigsaw or read a book. Lighting in the living room was very low and inadequate.
It seems the cottage is loved by dog owners and by those who eat out or sit on the sofa in front of the log fire & watch TV.
The bedroom was excellent and the shower/toilet/wash room.
The kitchen well equiped except for the old cooker, the grill and oven were unacceptable.
Owner was very nice. The road up to the cottage was challenging and the owner guided us up there. It was single track, very narrow with tight bends. That should be mentioned in your description.
On the plus side: It was very near our family who we were visiting, and friends at a local church. Hilltop walks from the door. Lovely prom walks & beach at Colwyn Bay.

Everything you could need for your holiday.The owner even left us a small selection of delicacies to taste. The views from the kitchen and patio over Penrhyn and local area including the sea makes this holiday special - a set of binoculars for use would have been really useful.
All in this is one of the nicest cottages l have stayed in.

"Nice cottage, in a good location."
Our first experience of North Wales. The cottage was very pleasant and the bed was the best we have ever experienced in all the years of self-catering cottages. The basin in the bathroom would benefit from being an inch or two deeper and with a plug that seals. Kitchen well-appointed but a more modern cooker (with better temperature control) would be better. Anyone who likes old pubs would love the Old Penryhn Arms, which is in walking distance. All in all a very positive experience.

"This lovely cottage provides a peaceful retreat with amazing views and is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding coastline."
It is not far away from a quiet beach in the bay, perfect for winding down ( or cooling off if you are a dog ) after a busy day sight seeing. We were welcomed with everything to make that first cuppa and slices of the best Bara Brith. Safe patio area for dogs and a warm welcome at the Cross Keys pub only minutes away from the cottage where dogs are welcome. The cottage on the hillside means you have to embrace the adventure of driving up hill with tight corners but the shared parking is a plus. We managed it with a Landrover Freelander 2. Our hosts were very helpful and knowledgeable about the local area.

"Lovely cottage with loads of plus points but here are a few things that took the shine off it."
The sea view is obscured by the owners hedge so a little disappointing as this was one of the reasons for choosing this cottage. I expect it is for their privacy at the expense of the cottage's view.
The sofa is old and very uncomfortable. Shame, as sitting in front of the log burner on the cold rainy afternoons would have been idilic.
Leaving a cottage in a clean and tidy condition is a given but being informed on where all the cleaning materials and hover are and requested to clean the cottage for the next guests is not what I expected.
