Welcome hamper was a good really lovely touch. Great base for exploring North Wales. ##### Karen This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Anthony 19 Oct 2023 #### We had a very nice week in this holiday house in North Wales with the whole family The family house has a lot of space, including a separate bedroom and bathroom for another couple. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the view on the surrounding Welsh countryside is fabulous, especially from the window at the front! The shower and the tap in the kitchen did not always provide warm water. ##### Anthony ### 6/10 Okay #### LUCY P. 28 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good to a point... Quirky property - plenty of living room downstairs for our party of seven. But there is no outside space to speak of - the property sits right on the very fast A-road so no pleasure in sitting out front, and an oil leak from the CH system made the back yard unusable. Extra steps and odd angles at the top of the stairs & in the back bedroom waited to clunk unwary heads! Luckily, the less-mobile member of our party was safely ensconced in the downstairs suite. Everywhere we wanted to visit seemed to be an hour's drive away! So the location was good in the sense that we were handily placed for lots of things, but we clocked up plenty of mileage. Highlights were Great Orme, Portmerion and tobogganning through the forest! ##### LUCY P. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kerry J. 10 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location #### Perfect for a large older family Pleasant cottage, roomy & perfect for 8 people. The road outside is 60mph so pulling out of the property can be hazardous. Wouldn’t recommend to families with younger children or dogs. The stairs upstairs are not ideal for older occupants or toddlers, however there is a stair gate fitted but feel one would be needed at the top of the stairs also. The cottage was clean and kitchen equipped with everything we needed. We struggled drying clothes as only one towel rail in wet room and the cottage had a dampness to it, even our bread left out and in the bread bin was wet after a couple of days. The cottage is in a good central location but a shame no local convenience stores. We would recommend but if we had been made aware of the road before booking we may have looked elsewhere. The hosts were lovely and so accommodating. ##### Kerry J.
