  • "We recently stayed with our two dogs, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience."

    The cottage was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail was evident in every corner, making it feel like a true home away from home. Our host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, going out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. They made us feel right at ease from the moment we arrived, and it was clear they genuinely care about their guests' comfort and enjoyment. Our dogs absolutely loved it here. The surrounding area was perfect for walks, with plenty of space for them to explore and enjoy the outdoors. It was good to find a place that was not only dog-friendly but also clearly understood the needs of dog owners. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and relax. We’ll definitely be returning for another stay. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with their furry friends.

  • "Weeds in the patio area with dog poo still there."

    No mention of owner being a breeder with her dogs having access to the fence of the secure dog field attached. This was also not very secure, dogs can easily jump over or if small enough like ours they can fit through the gaps. Also breeders dogs barked alot and antagonised customers dogs. Fence between patio should not have gaps so dogs cannot interact unless owners want them to. The field should not extend around the side of number 1 as it gives clear view into bedroom and kitchen with no blinds or curtains in the kitchen. Should not ask customer to do recycling at the end of the visit as it was very confusing.

  • "The place was fabulous."

    The bed was super comfortable which is always hit and miss and holiday homes. There were all mod cons and the host Ann Marie was wonderful she couldn't have been more helpful. Wonderful area and plenty of walks and fields for the dogs. Would definitely go back and would highly recommend. I wish we we had booked longer, maybe next time.

  • "We enjoyed our stay, the property met and exceeded our expectations."

    A strong positive for us was the EV charger. We would have liked a drier to put washing on that could not go into the tumble drier, but that is a small point. Overall this is definitely a five star property

    Thank you for your kind comments- glad you enjoyed your stay . There is a boiler room to hang coats etc which can’t go on tumble drier, please just ask. We try to accommodate all requests- within reason!! Regards Annemarie Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at 1 Barn Cottages despite having to leave early due to a death in the family."

    It is well set up for even the smallest of dogs and that was a huge relief to us - our dogs will always find the weak point in a fence or hedge and there just wasn’t one. The owner’s dogs were a worry but she kept them away and generally out of “our” paddock - except for when they came to visit the folk staying next door. The secure patio area was very helpful. We found all the furnishings and fittings to be of the highest quality and were very comfortable indeed. We loved the remote control shower! Probably the only issue for us was noise from next door - it carries very easily and stopped our dogs from settling, which in turn kept us from fully relaxing. We would go again but would hope that the adjacent property was empty - if you are booking both together then you will have a wonderful time with zero issues!

  • "Fabulous accommodation in a lovely quiet area, so relaxing with wonderful bird song, the hosts are lovely and so helpful."

    Perfect for anybody with dogs. We have been twice with our cat, and it worked out very well for him, as Anne-Marie provided a barrier, so we could have the doors open and still keep him secure without his harness on, he also enjoyed exploring the paddock with his harness on. Will definitely return and would recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    Comfortable and warm. The main plus for me was the outside area, a paddock that I didn’t have to go down the road to. My dog was safe. The countryside around the property is peaceful and the birdsong superb. The local facilities great and friendly. I would definitely recommend the property, and thank you to the owner for making our stay relaxing and welcoming.

Resting in Iscoyd, in easy reach of all of the amenities that Whitchurch has to offer, there's no better choice for a rural retreat. The original house of the property was constructed in the mid to late 19th century, and was used as a farm and dairy before the property was extended in the 1960s when the barns were originally built. Two historic cottages offering a group of six a flexible sleeping arrangement encompassed by a sleek, stylish interior, they make the perfect choice for your discovery of North Wales. Both of the properties are very similar in style, with their open-plan living spaces making the perfect space to come together to toast to your celebratory escape, the wooburning stoves bringing a welcoming warmth in the winter months, or sit out in your own private gardens where you can dine alfresco as your canine companions make the most of the shared enclosed paddock amongst the stunning countryside surroundings.
