Head outside in the fine weather, and you’ll find garden furniture and a BBQ, making this the ideal spot for alfresco dining.

The local history and culture surround you, and nearby Conwy (12 miles) is must-visit destination.

The cottage was as described and ideal for two people. The owner was in touch during our stay to check we were comfortable and had no problems which was appreciated. Good location close to Bodnant Gardens and just south of Conwy, so ideal.

Ideal cottage for a week away from the pressures of daily life. It has everything that you need to self-cater and is not far from Conwy or a couple of local pubs if you choose to let somebody else do the cooking.

Lovely cottage in a prime position for visiting NT Bodnant garden and Llandudno. Every thing you need as a base to explore the area and the welcome, bread, milk and Welsh cakes an added bonus. Off road parking with easy access. Village pub a brisk fifteen minute walk away. Locals very friendly, even the two sheep that turned up at the front door!

Charming cottage, good location, around 0.7 miles from the centre of the village, great view from the bedroom window. The cottage was cosy for our stay and comfortable. At night it was quiet and with a comfy bed, a good nights sleep was had. Weather was too nice to use the log burner, maybe next time as it would truly set the cottage off. Handy forRead more travel to Llandudno/ Conwy and the A55 to the north and down to Betws-y-Coed and the national park to the south. Recommended for a chilled stay. Hide

Lovely clean, tidy cottage for two. Parking is a bonus . No garden as such, but a small seating area to the parking area. A long walk to the pub if deciding to walk. The pub wasn't serving food the evening we went to visit even though it was advertised. A comfortable cottage in a quiet location.
