    Beautiful location. Easy access to activities and places of interest in the region. The location and facilities were exactly as described. Charging for an electric car was an added bonus. Zero carbon footprint.

    The location was awesome, bed really comfy, shower consistent hot water. John and Ceilia very welcoming and friendly. Had a wonderful weekend exploring. The main reason was a prebooked walk up Mount snowdon so location was just perfect.

    We had a wonderful stay at this eco home in Blaenau Ffestiniog. The house was incredibly comfortable, spotlessly clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing family break. The views from the property were absolutely exquisite...

    The location was perfect and great spot to have as a base. From here we could travel out and explore. Unfortunately it was raining most of the time we were there.
