Lovely quiet break.. We & our two small dogs fitted right in. Several walks, right from the front door, which suited us fine. A great base for exploring the area. We even managed a day trip to & around Anglesey.

Mr Lavender

Very handy location for most of north western Wales attractions/towns.. A bit more precise distance from the A5 would be helpful 'A Country Mile!' The owners were friendly and unobtrusive, but available if needed. Very secure garden for dogs with local paths available from right outside the door. Very comfortable cottage for a couple/very good friends!.

Lovely place to stay very quiet surroundings.. ..friendly host...lots of places within easy reach. One downside...the conservatory is a wasted room this time of year because the heater is not sufficient enough...so this room was permanently freezing...which was a shame..would have loved to have been able to sit and watch views from in there.

The cottage is in a very good location for walking, both from the cottage and in the surrounding area.. It is well placed for visiting Bangor, Caernarfon and Northern Snowdonia. It has lovely views. It is a good place to take a dog.

Mr Elliott

June 2018

I was a bit sceptical about booking this holiday cottage in this area, however to my amazement there is a lot to see and do you will not be disappointed.. It became a excellent choice and we really enjoyed our time together in North Wales.

Mr Davies

April 2018

Easily found and ideally situated with easy access to areas of interest.. Location up a country lane and great for dog walking. The owners, who lived next to the property, were a very friendly and helpful couple.

Mrs Whitby

We were disappointed with the accommodation,it had been very neglected and cleaning not at a good standard especially the kitchen which my husband spent a good hour cleaning! We could have complained at the time but didn't want to cause a scene as the owners seemed genuine and really nice people. Moyra did actually give the impression that it was too much and was thinking of cutting back on the rentals. We couldn't understand all the positive feedbacks in the guest book,they were obviously seeing something different to us! We have been self catering for well over 20years in various areas and properties so we do know there are sometimes difficulties. We have decided that in the future we'll be sticking with what we know,there are 2 properties we go to on a regular basis.

July 2017

Great cottage, well equipped in a great location with great hosts.. So much to do, from beaches, to places to visit, or a walk / run into the Llanberis range. Nothing beats Wales, just the finest place on earth. Cymru am byth!

The sun room/conservatory was a lovely room to eat and relax in. A peacefully relaxing break in an ideal place to tour the area and watch the buzzards circling overhead.

The cottage was perfect for us and our dog; we could not fault a thing. The location was peaceful and the property had a lovely safe garden for our small dog to be in. The owners were so welcoming and helpful to us if we wanted to know anything. The views were outstanding and we were close to all the walks we wanted.

The owners were very friendly helpful. Could not find fault in this beautiful place, it was a perfect place with a lovely safe garden for a dog to play. Had very peaceful walks from the door, but was a brilliant location for walking in Snowdonia Anglesey.

A lovely little cottage in the small village of Pentir which is close to the mountains of Snowdonia and the beaches of North Wales and Anglesey. This property had all the ammenities and facilities required for our holiday. It has an enclosed garden, which was ideal for our two spaniels, it also has off road parking. The owners Moyra & Barry were great hosts and nothing was any troble for them. We would go back especially in the summer when the weather is warmer.

Liked everything, from the very warm welcome given by the Hosts, to the beautiful cottage and the welcome pack of essentials. The fact that the hosts were always on hand for help, advice and suggestions. The proximity of the cottage to so many attractions was a bonus and the fact that there were dog friendly places all around. We went to celebrate our Pearl Anniversary and can honestly say that in those 30 years we have never stayed anywhere better. We will be happy to recommend to others and to return when possible. A massive thank you to the owners for their kind attention throughout.

This is a great cottage in the perfect location for exploring Snowdonia and Angelsey.

Very good,clean,well equiped,friendly. And very good location for non car driving immediate access to mountainous terrain. Also good location for getting to local places plus good view

December 2009

The cottage was brilliant for two people. in idyllic surroundings and so close to so many places to visit. A lot of thought and care had gone into preparing the cottage with many homely touches. Just one nitpick - the couch was a little short for tall people.

Although the property was a little off the beaten track, it more than made up for it. The accommodatiion was ideal with every mod con provided. If the weather had been a little kinder we would have made full use of the outside facility to sit and look at the views across to Angelsey and enjoy a nice glass of wine, however it was an ideal place for easy access to the surrounding countryside and a cottage we would recommend to anyone to visit.

Ms Forsythe

November 2009

Lovely walks straight from the door. Excellent secure garden for the dog and the owner very accommodating to our needs without being intrusive. Cosy and remote, yet near to the coast and Anglesey and very quiet.

Mrs Beech

The fact that we were able to 'come and go' made it feel like home from home. It is an ideal place from which to explore North Wales and also if the weather is inclement it's a nice place to escape the 'rat race'. We were greeted on arrival, told all we needed to know and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We would certainly recommend this to our friends.
