Catrine's place was fantastic. The cabin itself is very clean and tidy in a quiet, pleasant location with plenty of seating outdoors for relaxing on warm summer nights. We were looking for a place to relax for a few days after an eventful few months and this place didn't disappoint.
Catrin kept us informed and made sure our stay was perfect, a great host. Would stay again.

If you’re looking for a getaway, this cabin is the perfect place to do so. It’s exactly as shown in the pictures, very cozy and comfortable. It’s situated 20 minutes from the seafront and about an hour drive to Snowdonia.
Catrin, our host was very friendly and answered all our questions fast. She even left a basket with all the essentials that we might need.
We will definitely be back here soon.
Eleana
