Great property retaining original layout levels from its time as farm buildings. We had good weather during our stay and views across the surrounding terrain is a real bonus of this property. Property is insulated and heated to a high standard - I suspect its real toasty during winter months. Sun room looking over field, complete with its own smallRead more flock of sheep, is a relaxing place to relax with a glass of wine. Owner is really friendly and helpful, and also readily contactable. Location is a couple of minutes drive from A5 (historic route) so its easy to get to though traffic levels seem really minimal. A really handy base location to explore many of the attractions and scenery of North Wales. Hide

The view from the conservatory "sold" the cottage to me, along with the internal photographs and it was as good as I had hoped for. The kitchen, particularly, was well equipped and the welcome basket was well received. I also enjoyed the paintings and photographs on the walls. Thank you.
