The farmhouse-style kitchen/diner is kitted out with everything you may need to cater, as well as a large wooden dining table nestled next to the large patio doors out to the garden. Back through the cottage, you’ll find a twin bedroom and double bedroom enjoying far-reaching views, as well as a further two double bedrooms with plenty of storage space, with one benefiting from a useful wash basin. Two contemporary bathrooms, one shower room and one family bathroom, complete this well-appointed cottage.

Patio doors in the kitchen/diner open out onto a large patio with panoramic views towards Cader Idris, making the perfect spot to catch the sun or dine alfresco. Beyond, there is also a spacious enclosed lawn area with plenty of mature trees and foliage for you to enjoy.

We enjoyed a very good week at Holly Bank. The bungalow is spacious, well maintained and spotlessly clean; the location is delightful and the grounds are beautiful. Communication with the owner was very good and her suggestion for Sunday Lunch, The Brigands, was excellent. With so many of us using SatNav I would like to see the directions to all cRead moreottages include the map reference / what3words to make life easier especially in more remote areas where postcodes con cover large areas. Minimal downsides but there were no instruction leaflets for any of the appliances / heating; no broom/mop (not all of us can get down on the floor with dustpan and brush) and departure by 9:30 is somewhat unrealistic for a family of up to eight persons.
