Guest Feedback:
HL (September 2023): 4.8 STARS "For a large family this was an excellent choice. Baby to Grandparents plus 3 dogs - plenty of space for all. The pool table went down well too. The house had plenty of essentials particularly in the kitchen. The dining table on the mezzanine above the main room encouraged sitting down together rather than the more normal TV trays. The garden was huge great for the kids to run around in, plus garden furniture. All in all a great hideaway, very little noise, but in the centre of lots of well known places in North Wales"
AF (August 2023): "You won''t be disappointed with this property. Can't fault the property. Everything we hoped for was there. Very spacious. Very comfortable...... if only the Welsh weather was as reliable"
The R Family (Feb 2023): "My family and I have just got back from a weeks holiday. The owner of the cottage was fantastic and was never far if needed as she lives next door. The accommodation is located in a secluded area off the main road. It was so peaceful and the views were lovely from the cottage. Very spacious and was spotlessly clean. The log burner was a massive hit and warmed the place up in no time. Overall I would highly recommend this cottage - lots to do within a 10-30min drive time and look forward to coming back in the near future.​"

Visit Wales Comments: November 2019
"Zig Zag Cottage offers guests comfortable accommodation in what was once a film studio that has been represented by the owners and set close to the village amenities. The high ceilinged lounge with wood burner and pool table and its galleried dining area creates a wonderful initial impression. The quirky up/down nature of the proeprty adds to its charm. The high standards of housekeeping is a credit to the owners."
