"A fantastic place- great location being only a few minutes away from Conwy by car."
Owners were really lovely and the place was fully equipped with everything we needed!
The hot tub was prepared for us each night which was an unexpected bonus. We’d definitely stay here again.

"One of the best - maybe the best- self catering properties we've ever stayed in."
Comfortable, clean, and well cared for. Really well located: only a couple of miles from Conwy/A55, yet with the quietness & rural location that we enjoy.
Really lovely & helpful owners as well.

"We came to stay here last week to get a short break away and it was fantastic."
Janet and John were brilliant hosts. Helping with the hot tub, putting on the heating for us on cold mornings and great communication if we needed any help with anything at the cottage. The cottage was spotless, cosy and felt like a home away from home. The hot tub was a great addition to the holiday, using it most nights. A perfect location for a relaxing break away with great access to historical sites and day trips around North Wales.
Thanks for your lovely review Sophie. We're always happy to help out with the hot tub - we'll give you a lesson next time

"We have just come back from a 6 night stay in the Old stable."
What a beautiful cottage. Everything was perfectly in place and of high standard and taste. The owners were away but had family down to look after the house and cottage. They made us feel very welcome and arranged the hot tub every evening. We enjoyed meeting them and were quite sad to leave. The town on Conwy was a 5 min drive and the castle is well worth a visit. We went for a jazz evening at The Hayloft at Bodnant foods, this was beautiful and the food was amazing. Lots of great places to visit and walks to explore. We shall definitely be returning to stay at the Old Stable and can highly recommend.
Sounds like you had quite a busy time Nicola! So sorry you had to leave early so we didn't get to meet you but hopefully you will be back. Thanks so much for the cards as well. I know Deb & Mike appreciated your feedback. We are so lucky to have them holding the fort for us when we go away x

It was lovely to have you both Wayne and Mandy. We are always happy to help with the hot tub if people are a bit wary of the wood-fired element - it's nice to see it being enjoyed. Tilley keeps asking me when you are coming back.

"Sykes
Far and away the best experience we’ve had holidaying in the UK."
Janet and John are incomparable as hosts- warm, kind and attentive (without being intrusive) and the property is simply stunning- perfect for a couple. Everything is very well maintained with all the mod-cons you need and the cottage is charming with a very cosy feel. The location is great as it’s not far at all from Conwy, meaning you are tucked away but also in easy distance of transport links, as well as Bangor and tourist spots like Snowdon if you are driving. Most days we could have just stayed in the cottage as it was like a home away from home. Absolutely recommend.
What a lovely review from a lovely person. We really enjoyed meeting you and seeing you enjoy the hot tub and getting out and about to explore. We look forward to welcoming you and Alex again in the future Ben xxx

"This cottage is the nicest cottage we have stayed in, a credit to the owners, who are a lovely couple very helpful and nothing is to much trouble."
The cottage is spotless and all the essentials are on hand
They respect your privacy, but also very helpful if you need them and we enjoyed talking to them.
The cottage is beautiful, we had 3 lovely nights sleep, very peaceful surroundings. The hot tub was very nice with a relaxing glass of wine and if you want total privacy just draw the curtains.
Location perfect, short walks or longer to enjoy the surroundings. Conwy is about 2 mile drive away, nice pubs and restaurants. Two pubs which serve food 20min. or 40min walking distance from the cottage.
We used the local taxi company one night, very good and reasonable.
Yes we will definitely return.

They were on hand if needed but left us alone to do our own thing, however, if they were around they were only too pleased to offer advice on where to go.
The cottage itself was immaculate and the hot tub was easy to use. The location was slightly too far to walk into Conway and back but the taxi service was excellent. We’re definitely going to return the near future.

"The details of this cottage are misleading, the photos of the large garden are not for your use, this is the owners private garden, you only have use of a small courtyard garden."
Also the hot tub is not included in the price, we were asked to pay an additional £50 to use the tub, which is also overlooked by the owners house, not very private!!!
Very disappointing…….
Hello Elaina. We're really sorry that you were disappointed with the Old Stable. I think the issue here is that you booked before we had enclosed a private garden for the guests so that the images you viewed at the time would not have reflected this . We apologise if this caused you distress. Current images are now accurate. Also, the hot tub was not fitted at the time of your booking so the price you paid at the time did not include it. This is why we asked for a contribution for water/logs etc. if you wanted to use it. I did explain this in my email before you arrived. I agree there is an element of overlooking but we have fitted curtains inside the hot tub building for the privacy of our guests when they are using it. We have only been operating since April this year and are therefore still evolving. We have had some lovely guests stay with us who have been happy to engage with us and help us shape our offer. The one decision we have made since your visit is that we will no longer accept dogs. I think you will understand our reasons without me going into them here. We hope you find a property more suited to your requirements the next time you visit North Wales.

"We have found our favourite hideaway place in North Wales."
The Old Stable felt like a luxury to place to stay. The pictures on the website do not do it justice, as the cottage is far bigger than what it looks! The place could not be any cleaner. Everything feels new and so comfortable. you have everything you need as gif you were in your own home! The kitchen is stunning with a great dining table with beautiful views to the garden. Location is absolutely perfect with main towns at a 10-15 minute drive and a great variety of nearby hiking experiences. The cottage is very easy to find and it has a little carpark right opposite.
The hosts, Janet and John go far and beyond to provide their guests with a very positive and pleasant experience. We were greeted with lovely cakes and we were given some homegrown fruit and vegetables. Janet and John are so a great and friendly couple!
We look forward to visiting again and I have already recommend the place to friends. Thanks you so much for such a lovely stay! Peter & Blanca Grindley
