We absolutely loved The Yard, beautiful, quaint, super clean and it had everything we needed.
We absolutely loved The Yard, beautiful, quaint, super clean and it had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and the patio doors opening onto the beautiful sea view in the living area and bedroom were just perfect.. The location was stunning, just a few metres from the most beautiful beach with Mountain View’s. Our host Kirsty was so friendly and so knowledgeable about north Wales and gave us many many options of places to visit and things to see and do. This is the best by far of all of the places we have stayed and we will revisit as soon as we can. If you want sea, mountains, peace and quiet and the best host then you really should book The Yard.
