The property was comfortable and clean. There was everything we needed in the kitchen. Super location. Some windows very stiff to open - perhaps a bit of oil on the hinges? Recent comments made in the visitors' book mention disappointment with the welcome hamper. We would concur with this. Although the items in the hamper were of a high quality, it would have been nice to have basics included, i.e. bread, butter, milk and a packet of tea. This would be helpful , particularly as there are no local shops for these items. In all the other Rural Retreat properties we have visited, basic items have been included in the hamper, which has been very helpful.

Beautifully presented cottage in a idyllic peaceful location. Welcome hamper an excellent addition with all the essentials catered for. Cottage well stocked with everything you might need. Bodnant Gardens are incredible, you could easily spend the day and still not be able to admire it all! We also visited the Bodnant Farm Shop..several times, a real credit to the manager and staff who were working so hard over a busy Easter weekend. Delicious selection of food, my vegetarian selections were better than most restaurant quality! Thank you Rural Retreats.

The cottage is in a beautiful quiet location, with stunning views across unspoilt countryside to the hills and mountains. The sunsets were amazing. The location is a perfect base to explore North Wales from, lovely beaches, forests and castles galore. Within easyreach of Llandudno if you need shops and facilities. There's a good butcher and food shop on the Bodnant estate for good quality meat, cheese, bread etc We and our dog enjoyed the peaceful setting, the walking was great. The cottage itself has everything you need, comfortable bed, a spacious bathroom. There's a woodburing fire if needed. The cottage was clean, and nicely furnished.

Cottage brilliant with everything needed on hand. In respect of location we found it a little remote for our liking and the single track road was an absolute pain my car almost touched touched both sides of the hedge, thankfully we did not meet much traffic. The welcome pack was top notch and real quality. Overall cleanliness was pretty good but the shower had some grubby grout and you did not need to look far for a few cobwebs. The smoke alarm close to the cooker was a pain in the butt, we have recently had two fitted by the Fire Brigade and were told they never placed them in kitchens but on the threshold. Did we enjoy our stay, yes we did. Bodnant Gardens should be compulsory for all visitors, fantastic!
