  • "If you want a relaxing quiet break this is the place to go."

    We didn't see a sole all week. Lovely visit from the friendly cows every morning though which was great. Very clean and comfortable accommodation in a lovely part of Wales. Just a short drive into Ruthin. Just a few things to note for anyone looking to book....the place gets quite warm and no fans provided so maybe take your own especially if its warm weather. Also it states towels provided....it is just 1 large towel each and no hot tub towels so again take your own. Lastly if you are a smoker or indeed vape...please be aware you aren't allowed to do either even outside.....not even vape sat in the outdoor space which we found a bit too strict and we dont even smoke or vape......but could spoil the holiday for someone that does as this isn't made clear on the listing...it just says smoke free which one would always assume meant inside the property which goes without saying

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the relaxing surroundings at Elliw and found that everything you needed was within easy reach. I’m sorry to hear that the no-smoking/vaping policy felt restrictive. This is in place to help protect the property and to ensure a clean, fresh environment for all guests. Unfortunately, we have experienced issues in the past where this hasn’t been followed, so it’s important we maintain this standard for everyone’s comfort. In relation to the hot tub towels, we do provide basic towels for your stay. However, we completely understand that some guests may prefer to bring additional towels specifically for hot tub use. We will make this clearer in our information for future guests so they can come prepared if needed. In relation to the fans, we provide fans to keep guests cool and comfortable during the summer months. Thank you again for your feedback – it’s greatly appreciated. Thanks again Property Owner

    Everything we needed was there and the morning and evening views while relaxing in the hot tub didn’t get old. I honestly couldn’t recommend this stay anymore and we will definitely be back in the future. Thank youu so much!

  • "We stayed at Elliw in April & had the best,most relaxing of stays."

    Can't add much more to the previous positive reviews (there are even more in the guest book). If you are looking for a combination of solitude & luxury but still being within easy reach of a number of interesting places to visit, then don't hesitate to book Elliw.

  • "Everything was perfect!"

    We have stayed in many cabins and cottages around England and Wales and Elliw surpasses them all. The cabin was equipped with everything you could need, clean as a pin and warm and welcoming. There was even a welcome pack of crisps, welsh cakes and a bottle of prosecco! The hot tub and the views were incredible. Definitely our happy place.

  • "This was our second stay and we were not disappointed."

    The care and attention given to the cabins by the owners is exceptional. On arrival, the cabin was spotlessly clean. A lovely welcome basket, fresh milk in the fridge, tea, coffee and sugar ready for a brew. The cabin is beautifully decorated, to a very high standard. Crisp white bed linen, fluffy towels, toiletries provided, just perfect. The hot tub is wonderful after a day out exploring. Sitting looking at the stars, heavenly! We have really enjoyed our stay and are returning home completely chilled out, relaxed and refreshed. All in all a really wonderful break, just wish it had been longer! Would not hesitate in recommending Wern Meadow, it really is a little piece of heaven.

    Really well built lodge. Would be handy if there was a large bin for general waste and possibly a couple of fans for bedrooms over summer months. Other than that we can't fault anything! Will 100% be recommending and hopefully returning. Thank you so much :)

    The hub tub was a really high light - perfect for unwinding and soaking tired mussels after a day out on the trails, all while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. the location was ideal for MTB, with easy accesses to great spots. what really made it special was how helpful and friendly the hosts were - they even kindly help us out when with had and issue with our bike rack. It is those thoughtful touches that makes a place stands out. we would stay again and again and we highly recommend it to any one who are looking for a great place to stay. thank you so much we will see you next year!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "We had an amazing time at Elliw."

    We had a lovely welcome pack upon arrival and a lovely warm lodge to step into. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. We loved waking up the the stunning views and saying hello to all the animals who came up to greet us each day. The hot tub was lovely way to end the evening before cosying up in front of the log burner. We thought a lovely cosy corner sofa would work really well in the space too.. and just elevate the cosy and comfort of the lodge.

    The property was fantastic with wonderful views and very quiet and relaxing, being only the birds and farm animals you can hear when outside it was very well equipped and the furnishings were very nice and homely it was great to relax in the hot tub and very cosy with the log burner on a cold winters evening some shelves in the bathroom would be a great help as there is no where to put your toiletries other than that the property was perfect

  • "Just returned from our short stay at Elliw which provided the perfect retreat after a busy Christmas."

    The lodge was beautiful and looked just like the photos, spotlessly clean with lovely furnishings and a cosy feeling throughout. The underfloor heating ensured the place kept warm despite the cold winter weather, and the hot tub was bliss to return to each day. Elliw is set in a rural location, on a working farm, with a lovely unspoilt view of the fields. The postcode provided took us straight to the lodge although some of the country roads aren't for the faint-hearted! We're so glad we chose Elliw for our 'twixmas' family break - we'd recommend it to anyone!
