Liz

We had a wonderful short break with friends. The location is incredibly beautiful and the owner was warm and welcoming. If youre lucky with the weather, like we were, the view is breathtaking. Its very convenient for Snowdonia and Anglesey. A great tonic for the soul, highly recommend for groups of friends or family.

This cottage was just right for our annual family meet up. We have one week away each year with the four young cousins, their parents and grandad. Fron Isa is remote enough to let off steam and yet in the heart of the most beautiful country but within easy reach of fabulous attractions.

The house is absolutely beautiful & is surrounded by the most stunning views. The house was decorated beautifully & you could see a lot of thought had gone into it, as there were so many lovely little touches & details. All of the rooms are lovely, spacious & all have ensuites. The views from the hot tub are amazing. Its a great holiday let for gro ups of friends (which we were) but would be equally as good for a family. Finally, the owners were great, very friendly & helpful. We would go back!
