“Well what a beautiful part of the world!”

Without doubt, a magical place set in magical grounds. It's very enchanting which starts the moment you drive down the rural driveway. So much to do in the local area.The kids loved the peacocks and ducks.The living room was really cosy, and the fire place was something we couldn't wait to light every night! Ideal location to explore snowdonia national park.I wouldn't hesitate to go again Thanks.

“Just missing some items such as a mop bucket, dust pan and brush, sufficient mugs, only one shower.”

Otherwise a lovely cottage and a great stay
Miss Richards October 2018

“The grounds here are spectacular, we visited in October and it was amazing, something different round every corner, the peacocks, the ducks, in summer i can only imagine how stunning it will be.”

The owners told us they are licensed for weddings, the grounds here would be the ideal backdrop for any wedding photos, such a beautiful place. The main house/hall has also been beautifully restored, with the owners carefully maintaining the old features of the place. Will definitely be back.

“You need more teaspoons.”

There were not enough to go round. I would also suggest you look at the crockery/cutler/cooking utensils/pans situation to confirm that it is all adequate for the number of beds. A bit more of everything and larger pots would not go amiss. Otherwise a lovely property and venue.

“Beautiful characterful warm property”

Fantastic property with everything you could possibly want. Lovely open log fire with wood provided. The bedrooms are superb. The grounds are lovingly kept with plenty to see. There are woodland walks leading to the river. The owner is a lovely personand nothing is too much trouble. I cannot wait to go back again. Thank you for a lovely break. I will miss the daily visit from the peacocks. My husband and I took my elderly parents and two dogs. There are two bedrooms downstairs which were just right with a bathroom and shower room also on the ground floor. The master bedroom is superb with a dressing area and washroom..fabulous

“Magical”

Peace and quite, just back from a week staying with family here we so didn't want to leave! Amazing place for anyone wanting to get away from it all. Lovely walks. Yes the tennis court could be done up a little and a few small things could be sorted out but these lovely people that run and work there are doing a grand job. Get booking today!

“Well equipped, attractive accommodation in lovely setting, offer”

The service given by Roger, the owner, was friendly and welcoming, without being intrusive. The kitchen was well equipped as was the rest of the house. The location was in an Estate that was a bit unusual and therefore interesting, with a tennis court, and above a narrow river that was delightful. The only minor criticisms that I could make was that I found the directions slightly unclear, and the tennis court could do with resurfacing, but this is to cavil at what was a very enjoyable week away.
