Pen Y Groes was a beautiful cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was absolutely immaculate, and Nicky, the owner, made every effort to ensure we had everything we needed. She even left a basket of delicious locally produced goodies for us on the kitchen table. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the bath was enormous. Perfect for a good soak after a long day!
