  • "Although we had what we needed for the weeks' stay, a few things were not as expected."

    The road leading to the property is a single track, very bumpy with overgrown hedges for a couple of miles. So this property won't be for you if you have a large car, unless you mind a few scratches. The property was average, a few broken bits when we arrived, blinds not shutting properly, towel rails and door handles hanging off. Sofa not comfortable, we were out most days to be fair, but the last day decided to chill, the wifi is non existent. The bonus was the hot tub though.

  • "Anwen, was a great host & was available to answer any questions."

    The only drawback to the cottage was the poor access road which needs attention from the local council. That said it did not spoil our holiday.

  • "The cottage is spacious, well-equipped and the downstairs bedroom and shower room made it easily accessible for our elderly mum."

    The location is fairly remote and very beautiful - the view from the terrace and the upstairs double bedroom is quite gorgeous, You do have to drive down narrow, winding, hilly, single-track lanes to reach it, but we got used to that. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Only negative is that dogs aren't allowed, meaning that the whole family couldn't stay. We would stay here again if we were returning to the area.

  • "We had a lovely couple of days staying at the cottage."

    The house was extremely clean and well-equipped right down to extra games for the children. The house was warm and the hot pool wonderful! No complaints on that score at all. One suggestion of better information on finding the property itself. Given that I had the owners mobile number I was unperturbed when we got lost -until I discovered we had no mobile signal. However, the local Post Office soon put us on the right track. Would definitely recommend this property and would be happy to return.

    Which we got but that takes away from the accommodation. It was a lovely farm cottage with everything we needed. Clean and well equipped so we felt like we were on holiday, but relaxed enough to feel at home.

  • "Anwen was a really nice and please host."

    From before we got there Anwen text us directions of how to find the cottage that were excellent, as I wouldn’t have stood a chance without them. The cottage was ideally located for visiting local attractions and the scenery breath taking. My wife and kids enjoyed the hot tub. The only small criticism if you could call it that was the sofa was very hard so you couldn’t relax, the chair next to the sofa was fine so I sat there, but we were out 90% of the time so only a little moan. Amenities in the cottage were great. I would highly recommend the cottage.

    Anwen gave us lots of information about the local area and things to do further afield. We are a family of five my wife and I, our daughter and partner and our four year old grandson, the cottage met our needs perfectly with a ground floor bedroom and bathroom for the old folks and the younger ones upstairs in two bedrooms with a shared bathroom. The cottage is on a working farm in the middle of nowhere, the only noise came from the farm animals and the occasional tractor. That said it is only a five minute drive to Abergele with a good selection of shops and a large Tesco, fifteen to twenty minutes takes you Colwyn Bay with its super beaches. In thirty minutes you can be in the beautiful Victorian seaside town of Llandudno or Conway with its thirteenth century castle and Thomas Telford bridge. All in all this cottage has it all and we would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful break but with lots of attractions close by.
