Hillcrest

We had a lovely holiday in Hillcrest.

There was plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children and although it was a heatwave the place stayed relatively cool. The upstairs bedroom did get very warm but fans had been kindly made available which made it possible to sleep. The kitchen is lovely and big with everything we needed and there's lots of space to eat and relax, including a room upstairs with books and jigsaws. The garden is lovely, with a lot of seating choice and various birds to watch. I would love to go here again.

We really enjoyed our stay this weekend.

The house is very well equipped, and has everything you need. We did find the 1st floor bedroom very hot, due to the heatwave, but fans were provided - so that was great! A lot of reviews say about the parking and narrow roads (which I hadn't read.. oops.. silly me) - so I did come in the larger of our 2 cars - and wished I had brought the smaller one - but all we used to do is drop my 84 year old Mum outside, and then park on Hill Street (easy enough for my Mum to walk to as it was downhill). Chirk and Llangollen are beautiful places - and we would recommend the boat trip over the aqueduct - it's a fantastic way to spend the day! Wrexham isn't far (we just went bowling and eating out) but the shops etc looked great too - and not far to drive. All in all - a fabulous weekend was had my all of us! Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Hillcrest.

It’s situated in a quiet area with lots of things to do in the surrounding area. The property was lovely, clean and comfortable. We stayed during a heatwave and thankfully downstairs remained pretty cool. The upstairs loft room was incredibly warm but that just comes with the territory of being in the roof during a heatwave! Because of this, we opted to use the 2 bedrooms downstairs which worked completely fine for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again ☺️

What a great find!

This was a perfect place for the May Bank Holiday weekend - we had such a fabulous time! Easy access to Llangollen and the aqueduct. One thing to note: The roads are quite tight (especially if people are parking badly) but luckily the house is accessible from different directions so it shouldn't be an issue even for a biggee car like a Tiguan

Home from home!

Everything catered for. Beautiful property set in a very peaceful setting. Dog friendly garden with lovely neighbours

Lovely comfortable cottage in a quiet setting.

It was very relaxing to sit and watch the birds feasting on the bird feeders in the garden, bird food was available for us to refill them. Everything we could need was provided. My two granddaughters loved the fact that a small playground was very close by. The only thing I would draw to visitors attention is the fact that the parking space in front of the garage is very small. We had quite a bit of shunting to do to get our estate car completely off the narrow road. Obviously a smaller car would be fine. Great family time and everyone loved the cottage, in fact my daughter said she would be more than happy to book it again.

Hillcrest view is in an ideal location for visiting Llangollen and surrounding areas, the local park Ty Mawr is an asset and you can walk to the aqueduct if you want or able too.

The place was lovely except for the parking , you can park behind the premises but you need to be able to walk up steep road. I would suggest maybe opening part of the front garden into a parking area ! The satnav has a problem finding the place. But saying that we had a lovely time and with the park being near by was ideal with walking the dog.

Lovley well keep cottage very comfortable Lovley garden we enjoyed our stay

This was such an amazing property, the photos do not do it justice.

It is so homely and very well presented. Extremely clean. There are brilliant information signs all over the property letting you know how things work and there is an excellent welcome folder. The internet/broadband is brilliant. The garden is so lovely and well kept. Definitely recommend.

We really liked the house and give it 4/5 stars.

It was spacious and light and had ample space for us. The garden was lovely and as the weather was hot and sunny we could use it. We would definitely come back and recommend it to friends and family. A couple of things would have made it even better. Firstly there was no hot water. The timer was set and scheduled to come on twice but it didn't happen even after trying to reset it. Luckily the showers were electric so we could wash. There was also a miniscule amount of hand wash in the ensuite bathroom and only half a toilet roll in the downstairs bathroom. There were no little bin liners for the bathroom bins and the bin lid in the kitchen was dirty. These things were relatively minor and didn't spoil our stay. Regarding getting to the property, Google maps couldn't find it. The directions in the email helped but we couldnt find "Jolly Bank". However we did find Middle Street and Cross Street. The parking space outside the house is very tight, especially if you have a long car.

Lovely house and back garden with lovely bathrooms and good facilities but parking was very tight.

. Had some problems finding it because of the bridge closure. Perhaps a note in the joining instructions that one should avoid sat nav use.would help.Proximity to the country park was a bonus for early morning dog walks

Beautifully appointed cottage and well equipped for self catering breaks.

Externally could have done with some attention and the provision of an umbrella or a shaded area in the garden would have been most welcome in the very hot weather. There is no mention of the very steep access to this property and if needing to park in the lay-by because of car size , the walk back up could be very taxing for an elderly or less able person. All that being said we had a very enjoyable stay and Karen was most helpful when contacted with any queries.

Our third visit to this property.

Spotlessly clean, well equipped, roomy & comfortable. The fully secure garden is large and loved by our Boston terrier - Ness. Ideally located for the Llangollen area and for our favourite canal side spots at Trevor & Chirk. We recommend The Chapel Tearooms at Trevor for parking for the aquaduct area and for a reasonably priced meal with excellent service & friendly staff. After 3 visits I have finally mastered the art of parking our medium sized car on the driveway in front of the garage !

The bungalow was super homely and comfortable with everything you need to self cater.

We had a lovely stay at Hillcrest.

House was comfortable well equipped and v clean. A big plus was the comfy beds! Garden was great to sit out in and enjoy the sun any time of the day. Our dog loved it. Really good base to explore beautiful north wales and we had a fab holiday. Managed the front parking ok with our smallish car.. tho it would be awkward with a large car. There is extra parking at the back layby.

Lovely property in a quiet area with wonderful views from the rear of the house.

Beautifully decorated inside with everything needed for a warm, comfortable stay. Loved the fact that you could feed the birds with the bird food provided. Although the garden is sloped, it was great for the dog as it is completely enclosed. Convenient location for visiting nearby towns & walking distance to the nearby Country Park was a bonus.

The house was lovely and cosy and had everything we needed.

It was good being able to feed the birds. Parking wasn't a problem as we used the lay-by at the back. The location worked for us as our daughter is at Uni in Wrexham.

Very clean and cosy.

We had everything we needed. Lovely garden for our two small dogs. Parking in front of the property was a challenge because of our large car, but enough room around the back. Would definately recommend!

Fabulous property and have already recommended it to friends.

Family really enjoyed location and walks.

Our 2nd visit to Hillcrest, and hopefully not our last.

We were delighted to find a fence has been erected on the low wall on back garden patio, making it safe for our dog. (it wasn't safe last time we stayed). Very well furnished and beautifully presented. Full marks for comfort, cleanliness and facilities. Everything we could possibly need for a week's stay, especially as we don't go out in the evenings so need to cook meals. The location is excellent for us being so close to the places we love to visit. Thank you.

Excellent property - possibly the nicest place we have stayed with Sykes.

The home is spacious, clean and in exceptional condition. All amenities are in excellent order. Even tho the garden is on a slope it is well laid out with lots of seating areas to capture the sun. The garden is so dog friendly and secure. Small area for parking at front of property, but thats not an issue as ample parking behind the property. Lovely and quiet location, and located to easily travel to local attractions in no time at all. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely look to book again.

We had a fabulous stay at Hillcrest.

The property was clean, comfortable and warm and is so close to a lovely country park for dog walks and other places for trips out. Thank you so much. As others have mentioned, parking can be a bit tricky - the bungalow is in a small housing area with steep, narrow streets and no pavements - but once you get used to it it's fine. We highly recommend the Teddy Bear's Tearoom in Chirk - lovely friendly staff who couldn't do enough to make my 83 year old Mum feel very welcome, fantastic food with generous portions and excellent prices.

This is a lovely property but a visiting friend found the downhill access challenging, it is very narrow but approached from the other direction we found it fine.

I would have liked a cafetiere as I'm not a fan of instant. Our dogs loved having their beds by the patio door to watch the many birds and squirrels. All in all a lovely place to stay and Ty Mawr Country Park is just a short walk away

Lovely place, as described.

Well done out and maintained. Beds very comfortable. Lovely walks nearby. Be aware that the adjoining neighbour is deaf so has the TV on loudly which can be heard in the downstairs king bedroom and in the living room, but not the other rooms. Make sure you take your own supplies of tea, coffee and milk as there is no welcome pack, however, there is an Aldi just down the road, so easy to get some.

We had a lovely stay at Hillcrest.

The property was, like previously stated - very well equipped, clean and modern. Fully enclosed back garden, which the dog loved to explore in. Good location for great walks, local attractions and amenities. Thankful for the layby at the back of the property, as my car (Audi A6 Estate) would not fit on the driveway.

Was a lovely clean and well equipped property, was warm and cosy and has a great garden but was a bit steep in places.

The area is ok near country park and close to Llangollen.

Very comfortable bungalow .

Very clean and lots of space inside. Well presented. Lovely garden with steps down into it. Parking was an issue outside with only room for a small car . Larger vehicles would struggle to fit in the space. We loved the bungalow and hope to visit again .

Lovely property - light and airy with plenty of space for our family and dog, very comfortable beds and very clean throughout.

Country park right on the doorstep with beautiful riverside walk and views of viaduct. Lots of interesting places to visit - the countryside is beautiful. Would definitely recommend - we had a great holiday!

The property itself is lovely, just what we needed.

..to get away and have peace and quiet. Little difficult to find with road closures and i didn't realise there were narrow roads where the bungalow is set. This is not a moan. Lovely walks to have and the views where the bungalow is situated were fabulous! We hardly saw anyone, other than the elderly neighbours that popped out into their gardens for 5 minutes. The bungalow itself...no complaints. The weather was great so we spent alot of the time sitting and talking in the lovely garden. Had everything, was clean and tidy, my mother didn't want to leave. Thank you for letting us stay.

Just returned from a wonderful stay at Hillcrest.

Clean and well maintained and in a beautiful location. The country park just a few minutes walk away was magnificent and the perfect walk for the dog. Will definitely be back for another stay

The house was excellent for our needs.

Suitable location. Good facilities, comfy beds, hot water when needed. I miss a bath, but that's a personal thing and didn't stop it feeling like home for 10 days. Nice Christmas tree. Enjoyed our stay very much and would book same place again.

Hillcrest was very extremely comfortable, there was only two of us so we didn't need to use the upstairs.

There was plenty of room downstairs and it was very well laid out. All was very clean and modern and everything we needed had been provided and we felt instantly at home when we arrived. The large bathroom with walk in shower was great. It is situated in a very quiet area and we only saw a couple of cars pass all week. The quiet enclosed garden is a great asset and even though it was October we managed to sit out in it. The car parking space at the front was fine for us with a medium size car. All in all we would highly recommend this property and hope to return for another visit.

A beautifully renovated house.

Immaculate in presentation, and very comfortable and warm. It had everything we could possibly need, although a grill pan handle or oven gloves would have been helpful. The parking on the front drive was a challenge, but we managed without mishap. Excellent location for visiting the attractions, very close to the Llangollen canal at Trevor Basin, and 10 minutes from Llangollen itself.

This isn’t a complaint, we couldn’t find anywhere to hang coats if they were wet , we had a lovely stay at the property

The property is extremely clean and well furnished.

It has everything needed and is well thought out. The area is really quiet and peaceful. There are plenty of walks and a country park very close by. Our Huskies loved it. We enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful bungalow, all amenities required for a family of 5 and garden safe for our dog.

Beds were soooo comfortable, hot water very responsive! We stayed during the heat wave so brought our own fans with us. Needed for room in loft space. Beautiful surroundings, dog and teens loved all the Wrexham country parks and access to rivers. We have 2 big cars but able to park in lane behind house as drive tight. Highly recommend this bungalow for a fabulous holiday with lovely walks on your door step!

Lovely renovated bungalow.

It’s airy and spacious with all mod cons. Garden to chill out in and relax. Excellent location for touring. Bungalow close to country park and wonderful riverside walks. Llangollen just a short drive away. Owner Karen very helpful and easy to contact. Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would recommend.

Lovely, well modernised property, nice sized garden too.

Super clean with everything supplied. Brilliantly situated just a few minutes walk away from Ty Mawr Country Park, plenty of walks and trails available and perfect for those who have taken dogs on holiday. A suggestion for dog owners, and this is by no means directed at the property owners to rectify, if your pet is older or unsteady there is a lot of laminate flooring on the ground floor. I had already anticipated needing some runners from the pictures supplied so brought my own from home but still needed to pick a couple of others up on the second day as my 10 year old Staffie was like Bambi on ice! Throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to family and friends.

A lovely cottage with all you need for a good break

A great stay at Hillcrest.

A nice quiet location, however close to many walks. Hillcrest was very clean. A nice little touch of welcome biscuits and milk. Do not be put off by the outside of the property, as the inside is modern and up to date. Thank you for a great mini break.

The house was amazing.

Beautiful and clean, with great care taken to make sure that the facilities were first class. We stayed for 2 weeks then booked for another 1 week as we were so pleased. Lovely quiet area, great walks and although in a small village, Tesco for all of your supermarket needs was only 3 mins drive. The house really was beautifully finished, open plan kitchen worked so well for the family. The garden was lovely and perfect for pets too. Super comfortable beds and modern bathrooms, all very new and gorgeous. This is a hidden gem and a top tip book quickly I think this is going to be an extremely popular property. Bravo to the owners. 12 out of 10 !!!
