“A simply delightful cottage in the most wonderful of villages - largely unspoiled by modernity.”

Every conceivable facility is provided in the house and you lack for nothing at all. It is clean, airy, warm and extremely welcoming - even if the weather is not especially kind to you, you are at ease and quite at home here.

Every conceivable facility is provided in the house and you lack for nothing at all. It is clean, airy, warm and extremely welcoming - even if the weather is not especially kind to you, you are at ease and quite at home here. All around you is the most beautiful countryside, mountains, brooks, walks, wildlife and so forth. Without a shadow of any doubt it is the nearest place to heaven this side of the Promised-Land! itself.

“The cottage was spacious, comfortable and well equipped with everything we could need - even down to hot water bottles in the bedside cabinets.”

The welcome pack from David and Janet was a lovely surprise and useful. The cottage is simply furnished but warm, comfortable and very clean and there wasn't anything we thought we could have done with, that wasn't provided. David had warned us that the parking at the rear of the house was a 'bit tight' but as we have a Skoda Fabia it presented no problems at all for us, although if you have a bigger car it could. The area is very quiet, with a nice pub and shop in walking distance (shop is well stocked) and makes a fabulous base for day trips around this part of Wales. Loved it so much that we are hoping to go back again next year with two of our grandchildren, and will definitely be looking to book our stay in this property if available as it felt very much like a home from home.

“This lovely cottage was ideally situated for discovering the Snowdonia National Park, just perfect.”

Gorgeous cottage. Warm and cosy. Cute little back yard? garden with views of the mountains.

- Mrs Aitkenhead, August 2018
“Fab homely cottage.”

Welcome pack was a lovely surprise . Everything had been thought of by the owners. Even changed our bedding and towels etc in middle of our 2 weeks. Would love to return.

- Mrs Butters, July 2018
“We experienced a week of dry weather and warm sunshine temperatures which was perfect for walking and exploring The Slate Trail and local countryside.”

The cottage location in a quiet town gives easy access to Port Meirion, Port Madog and Blaenau Ffestiniog for the Steam Train. The cottage was well appointed and we loved the original slate flooring.

“Lovely little cottage in a very quiet street.”

Parking at the back is a little awkward and we did almost bump our car trying to get the turn on the first few attempts, we have a people carrier maybe a smaller car would be fine. I would suggest the owner levels the parking area at the property to make it easier. We did not manage to park on the street as it was always very busy, it was half term holidays though. The back garden isn't suitable for anyone that is unsteady on their feet as it is very overgrown and has lots of different levels. It would have been nice if there was decked area or larger area for you sit and enjoy a BBQ. The cottage contains almost everything you would need. I missed having a tumble drier as it was hard to dry the washing when it was a slightly damp week. Other than that we found it catered for all our needs. The lounge is very small and if there are four of you, then you would struggle to watch the TV, my son sat on the floor. Thankfully we were out enjoying the beautiful surroundings too much to sit around watching the TV! The Oakley in the next village and the Grapes were excellent for local ales and food. Blaenau Ffestiniog is just up the road and has an excellent Co-op store and a scattering of local shops. I recommend going to the mines and doing the underground and army truck tours, lots of fun had by all.

“loved it”

really lovely house in a lovely location with some excellent views close by. very clean and excellent base for a small family and 2 jack russells!. First time we have stayed in a holiday home and didnt know what we needed to bring etc, in short you dont need to bring anything as everything is there and ready to be used etc. After a hard day walking an excellent place to come home to relax to. Will Definately revisit
