Cwmalis Hall

Superb accommodation in a lovely rural setting, everything our party of 13 + a dog required.

Loads of parking also helped for our 5 cars.

Great communications.

Easy to find location. Would definitely recommend for a family get together, home from home.

What can I say?

! Book this accommodation, don’t look any further we stayed here as a family to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. 13 adults, 2 children and a great big dog. Cwmalis Hall is absolutely stunning, even better in real life. There is so much space. The bedrooms are beautiful and so comfortable and each of the bathrooms are stunning. Our favourite area was the large family table with a small snug/lounge just off it and right next to the kitchen. This was the perfect central point for us al. The huge table was perfect for our family games. The snug area even had boxes of toys for the children they loved the wooden train set! The kitchen is gorgeous and very well stocked with so many pots, pans, glass wear , everything you need and more! There is also a larger lounge with lovely big sofas , a fire and tv perfect for relaxing. We visited Llangollen for the day too which was minutes away by car and absolutely stunning well worth a visit. Back in the house there is also a pool table and darts board and a table top football game in the beautiful conservatory. We stayed in November so didn’t use the outdoor area much but we did go out to look and it was beautiful all lit up with fairy lights and lots of seating areas and of course the hot tub! There are a large selection of games and books in the house too they really have thought of everything. Owner Emma is incredible too and was on hand quickly by message with any questions we had to help us. It really was the most perfect stay and we cant wait to come back and visit again. Cwmalis will always have a special place in our hearts now.

We were looking for a large property near to Llangollen and this ticked all the boxes.

Nicely laid out with everything that had everything we wanted. Space and facilities. We particularly liked the two lounges as it allowed some of us to work while others relaxed. Everything about the place was just brilliant. Excellent contact from the owner before our visit to confirm final details. Would certainly recommend it.

Lovely property with loads of space, seating, storage and facilities.

Really well equipped - much better anywhere else we’ve rented, especially in the kitchen. Very clean and interesting pictures, books etc dotted around the house. Friendly and helpful owner too.

Cwmalis Hall was the perfect location to celebrate my 70th birthday with all my family.

The hall has an old world charm, plenty of space, rooms and facilities were of an excellent standard. The games rooms, hot tub were great for my five grandchildren to get together. The location is private but not remote, altogether a pleasant setting. The communication from Emma (the owner) was very good with information on small but needed to know detail. Enjoyed our stay at Cwmalis greatly.

Excellent stay, kids loved it, great area, owner lovely

Stayed for a long weekend for 2 friends birthday celebrations.

9 of us altogether so plenty of space and bedrooms. Emma left a lovely welcome pack which was appreciated. When we had a problem with one of the showers I messaged Emma and she came round and sorted it out quickly. House was very clean, plenty of towels and the kitchen was very well stocked. The log fire was a perfect end to the day. Had a nice time walking around Llangollen and the house is very central for this. Hot tub was perfect and fitted 7 adults in easily with no problem. The outside space would be stunning in the summer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in recommending the place to anyone.

House is gorgeous and very comfortable for max capacity.

Beds were very clean and comfortable. Cooking facilities were great, lots of utensils and crockery to make dining in the house very easy. Stayed for the weekend as a family of 13 and everything ran smoothly!

Wonderful property with plenty to satisfy!

Great space and very welcoming. Everyone felt very at easy and definitely at home! Perfect place for a nice group retreat!

Lovely house for a big group to get together.

Very cosy and comfy beds. Great hot tub. Great facilities

The accommodation was excellent, everything that we wanted for our family weekend.

The kitchen was equipped with everything that we could possibly need even the latest air fryer. The children ( and the adults) loved the hot tub , the temperature and the lights. Lovely rooms to sit and relax in. So many games and books available. And a very thoughtful welcome pack on our arrival. Emma was very helpful and we appreciated her kindness. Would highly recommend this lovely house.

This is a beautiful house and was exactly what we were looking for, for a girls weekend.

Has everything you need plenty of bathrooms and space. Hosts are great at communication and we had no issues whilst staying, would definitely recommend.

This was a great place for a large family gathering.

The facilities were excellent and the location great for sightseeing in the area. Emma was very helpful and efficient in dealing with a few problems. Thoroughly recommended.

We had a fantastic stay at Cwmalis.

It was so well equipped and comfortable. The welcome gifts and beautiful flowers were very much appreciated. There was so much for the children to do. They loved the croquet and archery. The hot tub was a great hit with the grown ups. We loved the huge dining table indoors and patio table outdoors where we were able to eat together. Cooking facilities were great. Would recommend this for large groups. A fabulous house in an idyllic setting. Emma was a lovely host too.

Lovey house in a great location, everyone loved it.

Everything was as expected and the owners communication was fantastic with good recommendation on what to do and where to go in the area!

We absolutely loved the stay at this property.

We met the owner on Saturday morning when they arrived at the property to fill the hot tub up for us. Very friendly and gave us lots of info/help about the surrounding areas for food etc etc. Would 100% recommend this property and we will definitely be returning at some point in the future.

We had a lovely stay at Cwmalis Hall.

The hosts were very communicative and flexible. It’s the perfect house for a large get together such as Hen Do’s. Lot’s of amenities in the Kitchen to host a Taco Night for 9! Hot showers, hot hot tub and a warm house all you need. It got a spacious lawn and a garden with furniture to sit outside. Everything was clean and tidy, cosy beds and fresh linen. I would recommend you staying here. Thanks a lot! Kind regards, Gudrun

We had the most amazing stay at Cwmalis Hall – the house is beautiful, very spacious and private with stunning views!

You have everything you need in the house which feels like home. The owners were very helpful with directions and all the info we needed :) thank you so much! Will definitely stay again!

Cwmalis was the perfect place for a group of 16 adults to celebrate lots of significant birthdays, close to Llangollen but peaceful and quiet, set in beautiful grounds.

Emma was quick to respond to any questions prior to our stay and the directions were spot on , she helped massively with our Saturday meal by making suggestions for caters etc and was on hand with any queries during our stay. Cwmalis is warm cosy but with loads of little places to sit and chill read a book etc . Bedrooms beautifully presented and comfortable. The kitchen although smallish was well stocked with all the utilities needed to cater for a big party, we spend lots of time here chatting etc .The dining room comfortably seated us all. Plenty of books and games and the hot tub was a welcome addition ofter long walks. Cwmalis is a perfect spot to relax unwind and chill whilst celebrating with family and or friends. I would not hesitate to recommend a stay here .

We have just got back from spending the bank holiday weekend at Cwmalis Hall.

Which was built in the 1700’s and is a listed building, situated in the country side. There were sixteen of us altogether and the first time that this side of the family had been away together since they were kids. Before arriving at the hall Emma sent us a very detailed welcome pack, including everything you need to know about the hall, how to get there, how things work, to walking maps of surrounding area, and places to visit and places to eat. I found this very helpful, and made things so much easier when everyone arrived at the hall. I wish every property owner did the same? On arriving at the Cwmalis Hall we were greeted will a lovely welcome pack, and flowers in vases around the kitchen which was a lovely touch. The hall turned out to be above and beyond all our expectations and accommodated all our groups requirements and more. Emma has done an amazing job of refurbishing the property, whilst retaining a lot of the halls old features. We have never stayed in a property with so many kitchen utensils, books and games. The pool table and bar football game was a lovely surprise and everyone enjoyed playing them. Also the outside area was great with enough space for everyone around the outside table, but still giving privacy to those who wanted to relax in the hot tub. Emma has also provided lots of outdoor games that you can play, including a life size chest board on the lawn, which kept us entertained. Inside the hall it was large enough to accommodate everyone in our party, with a large living room at the front, and a dinning area with a smaller cosy living room off it, which was ideal for us all to join in together, not once did any of us feel cramped at Cwmalis Hall. The hall has great sized bedrooms and enough bathrooms for everyone. I cannot recommend Cwmalis Hall enough for anyone wanting somewhere to stay with a large party that ticks all the boxes. We had an amazing time and will definitely be rebooking.

Furniture not exactly as in pictures.

Hated the pool table and football table additions Uncomfortable metal chairs in the dining room instead of the wooden one in the pictures Pictures depict a very bright house, clearly professional lighting was used as this house is very dark inside. We had lights on all day. I chose this house for a family weekend away and I was apologising before anyone stepped over the threshold. We needed to stay outside with the dogs and children as there is no gate on the garden to the main

A comfortable property with a good hot tub which was enjoyed by everybody who used it.

It was unfortunate that the Rayburn was not working, but Emma gave us access to the neighbouring property to use the oven there (the single working oven in the property was not adequate for our large group). We were disappointed to find that the dining chairs were metal (rather than shown in the pictures) which members of our party found cold and hard. We would suggest that fitting a door bell to the conservatory entrance would be useful as otherwise it can be difficult to attract attention when the door is shut.

We stayed at the Cwmalis Hall for three night and had a lovely stay despite the rainy weather.

Our previously booked holiday cottage was cancelled last minute and we had family coming over from the Netherlands and Ireland. So I booked this property last minute on the day of arrival ( thanks to Sarah from Sykes Cottages who stayed ). The host Emma was very helpful the prepare the property for us last minute, she is very friendly and helpful with a quick response. The property was specious with lots of bedrooms just perfect for everyone. It's well equipped, nice garden with an amazing, large, private hot tub. Although the property needs some reparation and renovation as it's on the old side, with some cracks in the walls and moulds. When we arrived after couple of hours we had no warm water and the heatings kept going off at night which made the bedrooms cold, this was unpleasant as we had small kids with us. I would recommend staying at this property.

We had a fantastic time at Cwmalis Hall.

The house is great - good size communal areas, comfortable bedrooms and an excellent location. And the hot tub is amazing! Emma gave really clear info about the property and the area, and communication throughout was brilliant. I’d highly recommend Cwmalis Hall to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in a beautiful place. Thanks Emma!

Lovely comfortable place for a family get together.

Hot tub was kept perfectly clean and all the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Loved that we had a choice of sitting rooms and loads of books and games for all ages. Lovely area with lots to do

Lovley house great chilled out break would highly recommend

We had a lovely stay at Cwmalis.

House is absolutely gorgeous, loads of room and everything you need for a stay. Emma gave loads of great tips and suggestions for walks and places to eat. We definitely plan to return!!

Fantastic house, grounds & location We have no complaints, it was perfect for us & the attention was there when we needed it.

Emma was great communicating Nice welcome package too, thank you!

Excellent location,very private and spacious property with excellent facilities.

Owner was very helpful.Would certainly return.

Absolutely lovely property, very comfortable for our party of 13.

The owner responded very quickly to a couple of queries. I would certainly stay here again!

Cwmalis Hall is a perfect retreat for a larger family/friend group to spend time together.

The kitchen facilities were all we needed & more. The house layout allows for 'all-together' time as well as opportunities to escape for a bit of quiet time. The garden is lovely & we loved watching the grey wagtails skimming the lawn for food to take back to the nest regularly. The hot tub was a welcome treat after a day of exploring. There is a large selection of board games & books, to suit all ages. Cwmalis Hall is near enough to Llangollen to nip out (in the car) to collect forgotten items for dinner - thank you Aldi! We stayed for a week & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The location is great for getting out & about & exploring some beautiful parts of North Wales. We met Emma & were very grateful for her quick response to a plumbing issue (it's a beautiful old house, these things happen). If you're looking for a large, quirky & charming house in a great location, we would definitely recommend Cwmalis House & thank Emma for giving us this opportunity.

Fantastic property!

Very clean and excellent information regarding the local area. Very kind host who was willing to answer myriad questions.

A great place in a fantastic location close to all amenities and great for an extended family get together plus we got to take our dogs.

This large property was perfect for our stay in Llangollen.

The property owner was extremely helpful and sent extra details about the property and more specific directions. She also came straight to the property when we had a query and she solved it immediately. The bedrooms were perfect with a range of double and single beds. The bathrooms were very clean and decorated beautifully. The hot tub was extremely inviting after white water rafting! I would recommend this property.

the property was lovely!

very cosy yet spacious, set in lovely grounds and great location to Llangolen town! stayed for a family weekend away - 60th, 2 x 30ths, 2 x 70ths etc. Was the perfect house for it, the hot tub was a great fetaure that we used a lot! Doorways a tad low so banged my head a few times, and oven not the most powerful, but there was an Aga-type stove that we figured out how to use. very happy with the stay and would definitely stay here again! thank you Emma!

We had a lovely time at Cwmalis hall, I would definitely return and recommend.

The owner was happy to help with any questions we had with regards to the property, Thanks for a great weekend x

We had an amazing time - a lovely oldey worldly feeling - bedding all spotless clean - bathrooms very relaxing - hot tub checked daily - emma the owner lovely and helpful We all had an amazing time and already thinking about coming back 10/10 from us x

Loved the house and we all had a great time.

Warm, very well set out, nice feeling and obviously fairly recently refurbished. Could do with a dust pan and brush and some moaning about uncomfortable bed second from the drive end . Could do with a handle on wall by big hipbath ( its actually quite hard to get out! )The piano is not really up to scratch with 3 pianists on board but apart from that we all really enjoyed our stay.

The house was comfortable, clean and exceeded expectation.

I would highly recommend to friends and family and would be keen to rebook on a future date. We had a very pleasant stay.

Lovely place to stay plenty of space.

Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Amazing stay, close to a beautiful town.

Very unique property, spacious and well equipped with lots of original features. Beautiful views from bedroom windows. Easy and communicative host who will go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. Thank you! I hope to come back to stay again.

Thank you to Emma for a lovely stay!

The house was perfect for our university reunion weekend, the log burner made for warm and cosy friday evening of games in the living room. The large dining table was great for social eating and all the other facilities in the house were ideal. Hot tub was fantastic, great for relaxing in. Some of the group enjoyed a game of croquet on the lawn, and the sheep that wandered down off the fell enjoyed the grass too! Location was really good and allowed us to easily drive to visit the famous aquaduct and also go on a lovely 5 mile walk from there to the castle dinas along the panorama road - would reccommend. Excellent local pastry shop in Llaongollen and enjoyed a trip on the steam railway, including joining the driver in the engine! A fantastic weekend.

A great place to stay.

We had wonderful family time. Would definitely recommend. Nice touch with the welcome pack.

Fantastic break.

We will be making this an annual trip for sure.

The house is as perfect as it looks!

Emma stayed in touch in case we needed anything and made sure we were all settled in. Perfect for a family holiday.

We were a family group of three generations and the property suited us perfectly.

Enough space for everyone inside and outside without feeling on top of one another. The hot tub is a particular highlight and was well used by our group. The house is very comfortable and well equipped, though one bath/shower was out of action during our stay (which Emma had told us about) hence the slightly lower rating for facilities. Emma was a fab host and was on hand if we needed her but left us to enjoy our holiday. The house and gardens are so beautiful and we enjoyed the setting of the Dee valley. Emma also left us a very generous welcome pack- the ginger and chocolate biscuits were a particular hit! We walked to Llangollen twice - the more adventurous route is a beautiful hike over the surrounding hills (highly recommended) with a pub stop overlooking the river at the end. We also ate at the Three Eagles in Llangollen during our stay and can recommend. There is plenty to do in the area (mostly a car ride away) and Llangollen is a good base from which to explore. Note- if you have a dog be prepared for them to be on a lead outside as the garden isn’t enclosed and the house is on a very busy main road. The road also needs to be navigated to get to any dog walking areas (or a short car ride). The wooded area at the front of the house is very special- we didn’t have any small children in our group but i suspect kids would love this addition. We would definitely rebook Cwmalis Hall and have already recommended it to others. We hope to return!

We loved it here!

Beautiful house and location. Emma was a great host, super friendly and flexible and had even left us a little treat upon arrival. Thank you!!

We enjoyed our stay ,it was a good location ,with plenty of room for twelve people .

The one main concern was the lack of wardrobe space in the rooms. We were staying for a week and in most rooms only draws were provided no wardrobe space .We also felt the property could have been cleaned more thoroughly for example dust under the beds and a grill pan that had not been cleaned. I fully understand with a a quick turnaround things can get missed. The owners seem nice people and were very kind in sending my daughters keyboard she accidently left behind . A welcome pack was also provided which was a nice touch .

We were a 3-generation family group of 15 all ages from 12 upwards plus two dogs.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our week in Cwmalis Hall- the feel of a genuine country house with room for everyone, a lovely warm kitchen and space to play, read, play the piano, prepare meals. The weather was brilliant and we had picnics outside and used the gardens , the games and the hot tub. Emma was available if needed and had left us a very generous welcome pack. Many interesting places to visit and walk without having to go too far so suited us all.

Wow what a fabulous cottage!

We stayed early March for my hen do and it was just perfect. 16 girls in 8 bedrooms and we fit comfortably all throughout the house. The large living room was great for entertaining. The kitchen was so well equipped and to an excellent standard too. There were plenty of bathrooms too. The hot tub was the extra touch- great for a spot of bubbly in the evening. Perfect location with a small drive into Llangollen, beautiful scenery and great restaurants. The owner was helpful, pleasant and very discreet when treating the hot tub, she even allowed the bridesmaids the sneakily dress up the cottage before arrival! We will most certainly be back!

This is a fantastic cottage in a great location, that is well equipped and appointed.

Emma the owner was also on hand with any minor issues and was also very helpful with restaurant recommendations. We all had a fab week so thanks.

Cwmalis Hall was very spacious for 16 people, we all enjoyed our stay at Cwmalis, the hot tub was brilliant one of the best we have used

The property is a bit tired.

A few faults were experienced but quickly fixed. No wardrobes in some of the bedrooms meant there was no where to hang clothes. Emma Wass lovely and helpful. We enjoyed our stay.

We were absolutely delighted with all aspects of our stay at Cwmalis Hall.

The location is great, kitchen well-equipped and more than enough space to chill out, dine and explore outside for our large party of 6 family groups. The self-contained lounge with a wall-mounted TV was ideal for entertaining the smaller children and the snug/dining/kitchen area worked well for spending time together as a full group without being in each other's pockets. There were more than enough mugs, glasses, plates etc to meet the capacity of the house, and the quality of appliances and kitchen equipment was much better than the average holiday let. The hot tub was straightforward to use and I can imagine the terrace area being very well-used in warmer months. The owner was very accommodating and helpful, with quick responses to email contact. There were sensible accommodations to ensure the property could remain Covid-safe should legislation or guidelines change. We did not need to use these at the time of our trip, but at the time of booking it was very reassuring that this had been thought through and that our holiday would go ahead in most cases, short of full lockdown and travel restrictions. All in all one of our best finds in almost 20 years of self-catering stays as a group.

beautiful house in a great location, even though on a busy road the noise was minimal.

Location near to Llangollen was great aswell. Emma the owner was lovely very helpful letting us in early to put up decorations and calling to see us with her gorgeous dog to see if we had enjoyed ourselves. House was very clean, warm and had plenty of space for my daughters hen weekend.Loads of towels for the hot tub although we had our own aswell. The only couple of things I would say could be improved is the signage at the entrance as it is not very clear and as you are turning off quite a fast road it can be tricky, and the downstairs bedroom has no where to hang clothes. We are definately thinking of coming back next year. Thank you Emma

Lovely house, helpful host in a great location Perfect holiday

We had a fantastic time on holiday.

We had booked it for a Family get together and it was a fabulous time. The hall was great and suited our needs perfectly. The log fires were very welcome and the hot tub well used. The owners were helpful and friendly we couldn't have asked for more. Would recommend

Lovely old house.

Quirky mix of Welsh Farmhouse and Georgian. Lots of well equipped indoor space for 13 of us so we could all be together or separate as desired. Warm and cosy with endless hot water for showers etc. Plenty of room for dining indoors and out. Big lawn for games, we played football and had an inter-generational croquet match with the children; also adventure wooded area for exploring and bug hunts.Hot tub a big hit all round, nice and warm even in the evening and easy fits 4-6.Good parking and easy access to and from Llangollen. Parking in Llangollen is busy so go early or be prepared to walk from the outer parks such as the Eisteddfod site. Can recommend the Three Eagles for lunch, Pontcysyllte, Forest Coaster at Betws-y-Coed, and Plas Newydd. Welcoming and helpful owner. Worth a visit

We loved our stay at Cwmalis Hall!

! Great location with easy access to Llangollen and other local facilities, yet away from it all. The Hall layout is perfect for a big group and Emma the owner was responsive to any needs / questions throughout.

What a magical place for a staycation!

The hall itself, Its facilities and the location were absolutely what we needed. There was plenty of space for us all to hide away from each other and chill in the way we most wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and the little woods to explore. My eldest son and daughter loved having a grand piano to play. From quiet morning "panads" in front of the Rayburn, to noisy family takeaway banquets at the enormous dining room table, Cwmalis Hall gave us the perfect holiday! Thank you. It was very much needed.

We booked a last minute stay cation at cwmails hall!

We loved every second!, it was just like a home from home! Absolutely beautiful, will definitely be returning!

We had a fabulous time the property was excellent in every way and we highly recommend it.

The owner Emma was lovely and very helpful we can’t wait to go back.

From start to finish this was one of the best family holidays we have been on in a very long time.

Lovely place in a lovely are! Highly, highly recommend.

We had a great time at Cwmalis Hall.

The property is well laid out and equipped for a large family or group. Being able to let the children explore in the woods was an added bonus and the hot tub is one of the best we've ever used. The area is fantastic with great outdoor activities and loads of activities for all ages and abilities. The owner Emma lives close by and is friendly and helpful without being obtrusive. We will definitely book again.
