Snowdonia...with SPA!"

Review Rating: 5/5.
"We stayed at this property over the Easter holidays and would recommend it to anyone.
we were greeted with homemade bread, fresh eggs from (Paul and LLiwen's own hens) and a bottle of wine - a good start that got better!
The property appears compact, but we were here with our two children (a bouncy 7 year old girl and a beefy 13 year old boy) and had ample space (helped by the open mezzanine, which the kids loved). The cottage had everything we needed, was beautifully maintained and in a wonderful location with very nice owners on site.
The hot tub was fabulous, as was the sauna - the only problem was it was so good that some of my more ambitious excursions had to be curtailed as I couldn't get the wife and kids out of the darned thing!
We visited South Stacks (near Holyhead) to see the puffins- well worth doing if you are willing to face the 400+ steps, Bodnant Gardens (which were stunning) and Penrhyn Castle (the victorian kitchens were well worth the visit). Beaumaris was surprisingly upmarket, with some lovely shops (particularly liked 'Sarah's' deli) and we had a go at crab fishing off the pier.
The highlight for me was going up into the mountains - the drive over to Capel Curig then down the Llanberris Pass and back up to Bedgellert before ending up in Caernarfon was truly stunning.
All in all, a fabulous break at a lovely cottage and definitely to be repeated in the near future.
