    “A little gem of a cottage with fantastic outdoor facilities and glorious woodland settings one of the best we have stayed at , the narrow spiral staircase could be a problem for some as was the drive to the cottage, but the advantages were that we were in the heart of North Wales, short distance from the George 111 Hotel that provides excellent food and drink , we could have done with a small heater or radiator downstairs as not convenient to light the log burner before breakfast overall an excellent place to stay, hope to go back.”
