We have just got back from a fab week at Is Helen Cottage. The kitchen was super well-equipped and the rest of the house was lovely. The only downside was the lack of signal on the TV. Not the end of the world, but with a teenager and a nearly-teenager, it was a struggle 🤣The location was lovely - quite a narrow road to get there, but was lovely being near the sea and walking to Caernarfon was very easy - about 15 mins. The owner, Grace, could not have been more responsive and helpful. Especially when we had a (minor) doggo injury. The garden was lovely and very secure for our two dogs.
