This place is even better than it looks, you can tell Gail and Jerry are very passionate about it. The cottage was clean and tidy with everything you could need. A peaceful sleep, followed by relaxing mornings to the sound of bird song and sheep and a hot tub plus games room for evenings. The location is quite rural but that's part of the charm. ThRead moree air and drinking water is fresh and it's within an hours drive of all the cool stuff in North Wales. We'd love to go again and we highly recommend. Hide

We had an amazing day at Owl Roost cottage, Spotlessly clean, it had everything you could ever need, they have thought of everything, from cotton pads to take make up off, to a drinks carrier to bring your drinks with you to the hot tub! We loved sitting out in the garden in the morning, listening to the birds and the lambs. The hosts are so kind, Read morewe broke down an hour away, and they picked us up AND dropped us back off at a garage after check out, We would have been really stuck without them! Hide

We arrived to a festive, cosy but spacious cottage with a lovely welcome gift, thank you. Waking up to the views each morning was a blessing. We had some sunny days which meant a sky full of stars at night. The cottage has everything you need to feel at home. We particularly enjoyed the wood burner to unwind after being outdoors. We would recommendRead more the Precipice Walk (thanks Gail), Llyn Brenig and Bala. This was our 3rd Stay and we will definitely be back. Thanks Gail and Jerry, perfect! Hide

For a north wales holiday/getaway there is no better place. Cottage is situated near to all the link roads but it is totally quiet in its placement. Awesome views, nice grounds, modern appliances, comfort throughout. Gail and Jerry are on hand if needed and greeted us on arrival however do not interfere with too much which is a lovely balance. Hot Read moretub is a great added bonus to what is an already excellent property Hide
