The location is wonderfully quiet & peaceful with glorious views on every side. There are plenty of walks from the door up to the lake & the hills. The house is spacious, warm & comfortable with the large, well equipped kitchen especially appreciated by this family of enthusiastic cooks. The beds are very comfortable & there is constant hot water. Read moreOur hosts were lovely people, really friendly & helpful but not at all intrusive. Darn Isaf is a perfect place to enjoy a holiday in beautiful countryside; a red kite patrols the fields nearby, stonechats sit on the fence posts in the lane and there were loads of blackberries for crumble.

This was a lovely place to stay. We were there in a cold and wet week in July, and it was great to have fuel for the stove so we could dry our boots by the fire. The kitchen was particularly well equipped, the place was really homely and our hosts were great.

A lovely large house on a working farm in a hidden valley. Two bathrooms was a bonus, lots of space to relax in. We enjoyed a nice all up the valley from the property. Well placed for exploring Snowdonia and the coast. Fabulous hotel sets thank you.

Minor issue really but TV in lounge needs to be able to receive HD i.e. Sky box would not receive BBC because all BBC programs are now HD not SD. Also would be great if upstairs bathroom had a shower curtain. These were minor issues and did not bother us at I offer these as suggestions only.
