Beide waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Apartment liegt im ländlichen Raum und man hat kurze Anfahrtswege zu tollen Wanderrouten, in den Bergen oder an der Küste entlang. Kleine Supermärkte findet man in den naheliegenden kleinen Ortschaften, mehrere große Supermärkte und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten im ca. 20 min. entfernten Caernarfon. Das Apartment "The Annex" ist sehr gut ausgestattet und sauber. Uns hat nichts gefehlt, wir waren rundum zufrieden. Wir wollen auf jede Fall wiederkommen und können "The Annex" vorbehaltlos weiterempfehlen! Danke Julie and Geoffrey! :) ##### Ursula P.

Very well equipped apartment and very comfortable bed. The farmhouse is very well placed between Caernarfon and the Lleyn peninsula so you can either head for the coast or head for the hills i’ve been visiting the area since I was six months old and I re-visited a place where I had my picture taken at Llangwynafl little beach when a child.. I don’t think the area has changed since 1965. A great place to stay, thank you for letting me fly my drones. ##### Richard M.
