  : The location although difficult and kinda scary to drive to is gorgeous. I absolutely loved waking up and hearing sheep and being within such beautiful scenery. The hosts were very thorough and gave clear direction on how to get there. When we arrived there was popcorn, cookies and prosecco which was a great treat. Kitchen had full amenities such as a full knife set, kettle, toaster, chopping boards, utensils, crockery and cutlery etc. Also had salt and pepper and oil. In the fridge there was a small milk and some water bottles and also tea coffee sugar on the side which was fantastic. Book with how to work the TV and the hottub etc which was really helpful.Location is a short walk to a beautiful waterfall and also to the start of the snowdonia slate trail which is fantastic and really helpful. There was WiFi which worked perfectly and had no issues with.The hot tub was gorgeous and again clear instructions on how to use it.The hosts were also brilliant with us and allowed us to lock the gates so we could keep our dog safe as the garden area is the drive way so we were able to let her out without worrying about the road etc.There was also bedding provided which was lovely and toilet roll, soap, cleaning supplies etc.Would definitley stay again, think some areas just need a little TLC but there's no huge errors.
  : The main thing to note before booking that this is a converted garage up a very steep road. It had a bathroom and kitchen, lounge and bedroom so was well kitted out but is still ultimately an old garage which has been self done from the looks of things so some cupboards were a in need of a bit of repair and the kettle and toaster could be updated as they looked extremely old and battered. There isn't a lot of space for clothes, one very small clothes rail and a small slim set of drawers so ensed up living half out of cases. The road is very steep so if you were going with someone who was less able to walk or a pram etc you would find it very difficult.Part of its charm is how remote it is but that also means you are relying on either cooking or driving a while for food so be prepared before you go.Also, due to location there are lots of insects.However, main concern was that the house that the garage belongs to had CCTV which looked straight at the hot tub.once you're in the hot tub you wouldn't be seen but didn't like walking to and from in bathing suits tbh.

  : the property was clean and as described, the pastries, strawberries, milk and prosecco were a nice touch, bed was comfy and the property had everything I expected. I thought the proactivity shown in terms of directions and useful info about the route in etc were very helpful.
  : the parking was a little tight for a big car. Unfortunatley the hot tub seemed very 'chemically' we could only stay in for about 5 minutes due to eyes and throat issues - this could be a personal thing so please don't be put off but wanted to mention in case it needs revision.

  : Very cosy, isolated feel, even though it's essentially a garage attached to a small row of cottages.Welcome gifts were brilliant and very welcome.Plus a lovely hot tub all ready to jump in to. And a private parking space off road was really good too.
