United KingdomBeautiful surroundings, beautiful house and amazing breakfast. Great hosts
United KingdomFairy Tale cottage in the heart of Snowdonia , breathtaking views and total peace and quiet . what’s not to like ! Jane and Robin make you feel like family , nothing is too much trouble . I went for my 50th and was met on the morning of my birthday with a rendition of Happy Birthday and a lovely card 😃 Breakfast was incredible and Would put most “fancy” restaurants to shame ! If I had to niggle it would be to say the door on our room had a sizeable gap between the frame and door (it is an old historic farmhouse ) so we plugged the gap with a blanket . As with most period properties expect creaky floorboards and lots of quirks ! The bed was blissfully comfortable and waking up to the view of Snowdonia as an ex North Walian who grew up with that view .. I felt like I was home . there’s a serenity here that just can’t be measured here in words , it has to be seen .
United KingdomEverything was amazing! Very atmospheric house and the area around it: green hills, river, sheep, geese and chickens. You will recognize that you're in a special place at the moment when Robin and Jane serve you an incredible royal breakfast (or dinner if you want). Location is great! We traveled all over Snowdonia, we did a lot of trails, we were on rivers, lakes, waterfalls, stunning sandy beaches. It was a truly amazing trip for us and our dog! We will miss it very much and will recommend this place to all our friends!
RussiaRobin was an exceptional host and chef. The breakfasts were extremely good - particularly the lava bread and cockles! Robin's evening meals were a tour de force matched only by his personal knowledge and interest in what he was serving.
United KingdomThe location was beautiful, lots of picturesque walks from the door, pubs and restaurants close by, short drive to other towns (through beautiful mountainous landscape), 30mins from the beach. Robyn and Jane were the perfect hosts, we wanted for nothing! Locally sourced and organic food, varied selection, all presented to restaurant standard and each one delicious! We’ll definitely be back!
United Kingdomgreat location, surrounded by nature, delicious breakfast
United KingdomA wonderful place in a quiet location surrounded by beautiful scenery. Robin and Jane could not have made us more welcome. The accommodation is a 15th century farmhouse with a 200 year old extension There are three guestrooms and much has been done throughout to keep the furnishings consistent with its historic charm and character. Robin's cooking is superb. Breakfasts and dinners are turned into an art form, with enthusiasm, imagination, pride, and a desire to please, and have the ambiance of private dining. This has been the most pleasant few days' break we have had.
