  • "We had a great stay at this comfortable and relaxing cottage."

    We loved the peace and quiet, the beautiful views and the sound of birdsong. Sitting on the balcony was blissful. There are wonderful walks locally, around the river and on Llanllwni mountain and plenty of places to visit a short drive away. We very much hope to return.
