Lovely little place in the mountains. Perfect for a short break away. The secure garden was brilliant for the dog and we also enjoyed getting to know the horses who came over and watching the sheep and lambs climbing the walls. Hosts were friendly and welcoming.Not far from the Greenwood family park, Anglesey beach, a walk to an amazing waterfall as well as Snowdon. Perfect location.
