The cottage is located in a perfect place for relaxing, walking and exploring the fantastic beaches of North Wales. The cottage was very comfortable, well presented, very clean and a more than ample size for 4 persons. Getting around by car was so easy, Snowdonia, Caernarfon, Anglesey are less than an hours drive way. Conwy (and is lovely restaurants and castle) is about 35 mins away. And don't forget the lovely sand dunes at Prestatyn. The Owner's have left a good "handover book" with lots of local information, restaurants and pups. Castle House was a great find.
