Great stay, everything is lovely and clean and I hope to return. Deborah made us feel very welcome. The house enjoys large grounds, quiet, looking out to open fields which is very relaxing. I did have trouble finding it at night, as it is well set back and would benefit with an illuminated sign at its entrance.

Enjoyable 2 night stay in a beautiful large house in a country setting and just 2 miles from Harlech and also near to Portmadog, Portmeirion, Blaneau Ffestiniog and Snowdonia National Park. Deborah is a sweet and gracious host. Spotlessly clean en-suite rooms and excellent breakfast. Large level car parking area adjacent to the house. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.
