It has been a pleasure to stay in such a gorgeous, comfortable and grand home. We have had perfect weather (except no surf!) and the house has been a perfect backdrop for the Halloween season. We hope to return soon. We recommend Portmeirion, Caernarfon Castle, Cadwaladers and the Lion Hotel (fast, yummy and lovely). As well, The Ty Coch â pub by the sea in Porthdinllaen).
