Beautiful stay

An absolutely incredible home with the most beautiful view - we had the best 4 days here, it was a perfect place to relax and recharge. We didn’t need anything whilst staying, and it was in a perfect location for Bodnant Gardens and the coastal towns. Can’t wait to come back!

What a lovely place

We had the most amazing stay and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Gorgeous house, setting and location and there is nothing we can say was negative. There were 3 adults and 2 children in our party and all of us loved it. Would definitely recommend and stay again if we were in the area! Thank you for helping us make some lovely memories

Absolutely stunning property

This was our first visit to the UK and Wales. The house was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The view out back was just stunning. We enjoyed time spent in the sunroom as well as outdoors since the weather was sunny and warm. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen along with the books and games. The location was perfect. We enjoyed our visit to Bodnant gardens. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Spectacular views

We had a really good stay at this property. The house was clean and all as described in the listing. We were very lucky and had amazing weather (the fans were very much appreciated) and I just couldn’t stop admiring the views. Only thing that could’ve made it better was a bit more garden furniture, missing the picnic bench in the pictures, down the bottom of the garden, but that’s just being picky. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the property and would definitely stay again.

Beautiful House with stunning view!

Had a brilliant stay, the house is lovely with a beautiful view and a large garden which our Golden Retriever loved! House is well equipped with everything you could need and beds are really comfy and the view from the main bedroom is stunning! Added bonus of a tv to watch in the bath which was a highlight for my partner! We would definitely return. Make sure to check out the Bodnant estate for the restaurant, cafe and farm shop which are all great and just around the corner.

Lovely property with fantastic views. Would have given 5 stars but strong smell of gas in lounge and loud rattling noise from boiler once the heating had been on for a short while.

beautiful views

gorgeous views from rear of the house, peaceful and quiet. lovely home with great kitchen with every utensil you could think of. beds very comfy. We took our 2 labradors with us who loved the garden for a morning run but the only thing is that there are very few places to take dogs for walk without driving and the conservatory leading in from the garden and main lounge has cream carpet for flooring so you have to be extra careful with the dogs paws not to mark the carpets, probably a good idea to fit laminate flooring throughout to make it stress free. Would definitely return as close to all local amenities

Comfortable house in wonderful location

The house is warm and comfortable, perfect if the Welsh weather is not playing ball! The location is perfect - both in terms of the wonderful views but also for visiting the many local attractions. During our week’s stay in April we visited the Zipworlds at Betws-y-coed and Penrhyn Quarry as well as the steam train at Blaenau Ffestiniog and Conwy castle. All within 15-35 minutes drive. Even South Stack at the far end of Anglesey was only an hour away. Bodnant gardens National Trust is only 5 minutes away and was stunning after the heavy rain we’d just had. The view from the conservatory and the master bedroom was wonderful, ever changing with the weather and tides. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Wow

This house is amazing! We stayed for a week and I can honestly say this house is the best house we have ever stayed in! Beautifully furnished, super comfy beds and sofa. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. This house is luxurious.. the view… wow.. but combined with the house and every need met and more inside it, it made our holiday the best one ever! Even down to having extension leads next to the beds, a box full of games and sky in every room. Totally amazing! Thank you.

We returned this year after a brilliant stay here last year. The house is lovely and the views are beautiful. The only reason I have given it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the toilet in the upstairs bathroom was not clean. We bleached and cleaned it ourselves but I think for the amount of money we paid for the property we should have a pristine toilet! I reported this to the owners with photographic evidence and they said they would contact the cleaners so hopefully future guests won't have this issue. In fairness the rest of the house was spotless.
