    The heater in the bedroom was on during the night and we were too hot. We didn't want to fiddle with heating the system as there were no instructions. There is no aux lead for the stereo and the "tuner"/radio didn't work. It would be nice to be able to connect our phones to it and use it as it looked great quality. We thought the connection lead between the TV and DVD player needed attention as there was buzzing when we tried to play a DVD of which there was a brilliant selection. All of the above are quick fixes and we would stay here again.

    The kitchen is very well equipped. I have never used a Ninja oven before but it was really good. The big fleece blankets were lovely. The water in the shower was super hot and the towels provided were great

    The bathroom radiator was supposed to come on morning and evening but didn't so it was a bit difficult getting towels dry. Guess it was good for the planet though! The beds were OK but mattresses should probably be replaced in the near future.

    The property was clean and spacious and the kitchen was the best-equipped I've ever seen in a self-catering property! We'd brought some stuff from home (expecting the usual) but didn't need it. Gorgeous surroundings - went on a wonderful walk with stunning views all round. Had a very prompt response to our one query.

    Nothing really but it will help if the rooms have black out curtains :)

    The cottage was very cozy. Instructions were laid out and easy to understand. Host was very responsive. I like that the cottage was warm at arrival and stayed warm during our stay . It is comfortable especially after a cold day out.

    The location of property was very good. Not to far from Bala. Alos the property was clean and well organised.

    The bird poop on the outdoor furniture and BBQ. The road - traffic goes by very fast, most people don't adhere to 30mph speed limit. And finally, you're not guaranteed a parking space, I couldn't park outside the property when I arrived, but with kerbside you can never be certain as sadly you don't own the road!

    Loved the contactless check in/out. The cottage is really quirky and snug, I felt nice and relaxed, surrounded by nature and beautiful views. Nice walking on your doorstep (watch out for traffic!!) and I enjoyed having a go on the swings at the playground! Great selection of DVDs to watch and free Wi-fi is a bonus.

    The hot water tap in the kitchen needs looking into. The water is just a trickle.

    It was clean, Quiet and a good location. I think the size was OK for the 2 of us.

    Although the cottage was in a beautiful countryside setting - on this occassion (we were with our 14 yr old!) it was a little too rural and quiet.

    It was a lovely, comfortable, quaint cottage . No fuss in accessing or leaving the property.

    We were not happy to recieve an email on arrival informing us that the internet wasn’t working and the engineer was due 5 days later on the day of our departure, this was very inconvenient for us.
