"Since discovering Cwn heulog a few years ago we do not stay anywhere else in North Wales now."
Spacious, well furnished, quiet, equipped with everything you could need for a holiday. Good views, especially in the snow! The new ensuite is lovely, though the water pressure is low and takes along time to heat the water in the shower. (I only mention incase the owners are not aware of this.) We will be back next year for our next stay
Thank you for visiting Cwm heulog again this autumn, and we look forward to welcoming you back. The shower pressure has now been resolved. Property Owner

"This was our fourth visit and it was as excellent as ever."
Great location, great views and great accomodation. Would highly recommend to anyone.
-
"En-suite was lovely but shower not very good, new supports under mattress would help single beds, everything else fine."
Lovely holiday as usual.
Thank you for informing us about the single beds. Both single beds have now been replaced with new bases as well as new mattresses in both double bedrooms. Property Owner

"This is the second year we have stayed as a family at Cwm Heulog."
The property is spacious and being a bungalow on one level which is great for the grandchildren to run about. It is on a working farm and the children loved watching the animals. The location in a lush green valley is great for quiet relaxation and excellent for getting about the area of North Wales. Megan and family are really friendly hosts.

"We enjoyed the location."
The bungalow was very spacious. The double beds had poor mattresses. Settees were tired & lacked support. The ensuite shower was very poor flow & took forever to get warm/hot. Lounge could be made attractive with some colour, very bland room, not a joy to sit in. Conservatory would benefit from blinds.

"We had an amazing stay at this well appointed bungalow which happily went with stunning weather !"
The advertising really does not do the property justice as it really is superb for example we had a dvd player and laundry room (washing machine etc) plus a third toilet off the kitchen which weren't even listed. The property had everything we needed right down to fresh milk and eggs which were left for us on arrival. The views from the conservatory are truly astounding and the proprietor was more than happy to tell us about local events and where we could walk and so we enjoyed following the salmon filled river over the fields to the local village on a truly magnificent 2 mile ish walk. Very happy and would return here again !

"Lovely property."
Well equiped. Clean. Fantastic location with great views. Perfect for exploring North Wales.
-
"Fabulous stay."
Very comfortable accommodation in a delightful part of Wales. The views are spectacular with amazing views. We know this area quite well but have never actually stayed here before. The village is very pretty with picnic tables by the river. We had a really nice meal in the Black Lion and a delicious breakfast in Olivia's cafe, both well recommended. Will stay here again in a heartbeat.

"Our second stay at Cwm Heulog and very enjoyable."
Spacious bungalow with a lovely view from the conservatory. Two quibbles - firstly the matress of the double bed is quite uncomfortable and needs updating. Secondly there are only four seats in the conservatory. This was the room we used the most and either involved two people sitting on the window ledge or bringing in the wooden chairs from the kitchen. We still very much enjoyed our stay and exploring the general area.
-
"This was our 3rd visit to Cwm Heulog& sure it won't be our last."
Great location for the many delights of N Wales. The bungalow itself is very spacious,clean,warm& well equipped with gorgeous views over the valley,with added advantage of only being a 10minute drive to the coast. Owners live just a little further along the drive & are helpful but unobtrusive. Gill & Mike. March 24

"Smashing bungalow in a great location."
Would definitely recommend
-
"Very easy to find and some beautiful eggs waiting for us as well as some milk in the fridge."
Beds very comfortable. Had to do a bit of sprucing up when we arrived, but apart from that, we had a really good stay. This holiday home is very central for many great places to visit. Wonderful log fire and huge tv which was fab.
-
"This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property for our Christmas shopping weekend."
Perfect location being close to A55 and a nice drive to Chester and Cheshire Oaks and then spending a lovely day in Llandudno. Property is spacious, clean cosy with the log burners. Also provides everything we need for a perfect break.
-
"This was our 4th stay at our ' Winter Retreat ' and was as good as ever."
Fab property with everything you need in a fab location with stunning views.
-
"On returning home i have just booked our 4th stay in the cottage for next year."
It is absolutely lovely. Quite location, spacious, well equipped, clean, stunning views and lovely owners who are there if needed but not in your face which is a great bonus. My one tiny complaint is the small double beds, although comfortable king size would be perfect in my view
-
"An exceptionally spacious property - like a Tardis inside!"
Large comfortable bedrooms, spacious kitchen/dining area and we loved sitting in the conservatory playing cards and enjoying the beautiful view. Enjoyed an evening meal at The Black Lion in the village. Would definitely stay here again.
-
"Really clean and well maintained."
Spacious rooms beds comfortable. Well equipped kitchen . Owners very friendly and helpful Decor little dated and a few pictures or mirrors may make it a bit more homely ,otherwise a great place to stay and highly recommend.
-
"This was one of the most stunning locations we have ever stayed in."
The bungalow is very spacious is ideal for families and couples alike. Everything we needed was provided including some lovely fresh eggs . Our only suggestion would be to make the directions a little clearer however once found it’s easy.
-
"It is not mentioned on the site that there is a freezer, that would have been helpful."
Whilst there was a dvd player, there didn't seem to be any dvds...we have stayed at other cottages and there has been a small selection of dvds which is helpful. WiFi was good. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. The cottage is well placed for exploring North Wales. The location is lovely and quiet on a farm. There wasn't a lot of information on staying at the cottage, for instance details on recycling, or how to use cooker...we did figure these things out but some written information on the basics would help. The double bedrooms could use a vanity mirror, I'm quite petite and I couldn't see in the bathroom mirrors as they were small and quite high up, a mirror would be useful for drying hair etc. The cottage is very spacious and with lovely views. We did enjoy our stay and would return if we wanted to visit this area again.
-
"Lovely property with amazing views."
Great for family holiday, the kids loved watching the tractors going along the lane. Rooms are spacious so plenty of room. It’s about 20 min drive from the coast but the village down the road has a nice pub and river for picnics.
-
"I have just returned with my family from Cwm Heulog after spending a really enjoyable relaxing holiday."
The bungalow was spacious and excellent for the gran children to run around. The conservatory was loverly to sit in with a coffee and take in the incredible views of the field and hills. Megan and her family were really friendly and helpful, showing the children the farm and animals and explaining how they farmed. The location was great for Snowdonia and the beaches of Colwyn bay an Llandudno. Would certainly look to go back again.
-
"Comfortable and spacious cottage with excellent views."
Good base for exploring Snowdonia and the North Wales coast.
-
"Lovely property in a lovely location, which was ideally positioned close to so many places of interest that were only 30 - 40 minutes away."
Brilliant stay, will definitely be booking there again.
-
"Lovely quiet relaxing place to stay."
Great location, easy for us to plan our day trips out & about Really clean & tidy Thank you
-
"Spacious, comfortable and well equipped property set in the beautiful countryside of North Wales, with Snowdonia on the doorstep."
Quiet and peaceful, it was perfect for the rest and relaxation we were looking for but it was also located within easy driving distance of Llandudno, Conwy and Bangor for anyone who needed retail therapy. Thanks to Mrs Lloyd for her help with information...and new-laid eggs! We had a great holiday and hope to return next year.
-
"Such a wonderful bungalow, has everything you need for a really comfortable and worry free holiday."
Excellent location, and what a view from the conservatory
-
"2nd stay in this beautiful property, very sad to be going home."
We will be back and recommend it highly. Pictures dont do it justice! Beautiful surroundings, pure bliss to sit and relax in the sun room. Owners are very friendly and lovely. Farmers were great with our 2 kids, always happy to answer any questions from them and gave a friendly wave when passing. Little touches like this made theirs and our holiday THANK YOU xx
-
"Perfect property for a family holiday - spacious and comfortable."
We thought it great value. We appreciated the treats left for us and the care and cosideration of the owners. Great location for all the attractions of North Wales.The views from the cottage are spectacular and the little one enjoyed watching all the farm activities and animals from the window. We would be very happy to book this property again.

"This is terry here I was in cwm heulog in north wales ref no(1064723) on 24/3/23 to 31/3/23."
I've rented loads of properties over a 25 year period and I can honestly say this is by far the best property we have stayed in exceptionaly clean ./ tidy./beds comfortable./exceptional veiws from the conservatory across the hills/owners very freindly and property was very warm and relaxing and not to far from the major tourist attractions we were so impressed with this property that we have already booked again for next year whilst we were still in it so 10/10 and can't wait to go in it next year
-
"Our 2nd visit to Cwm Heulog,very much enjoyed& look forward to future visits."
This spacious bungalow is ideally situated for the many attractions that N Wales has to offer. An added bonus of Cwm Heulog for us are the beautiful views from the conservatory& an easily accessible beach walk that goes on for miles,only being 10 or 15 miles away.
-
"This is the very best holiday home we have stayed in."
Superb location with amazing views, spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean.There was a welcome pack which was much appreciated and the owners could not have been more helpful. The house was warm and the bedrooms comfortable. We were a group of 4 adults but this is a wonderful place for family holidays. Highly recommended. Jean Chinn M.B.E.
-
"Second time we have stayed here and just as good as the first."
Nice and comfy with fab views from the sun room. Highly recommend.
-
"Loverly place to stay would recomend will be going back again great pub food 5 mins away"
-
"This was our second stay at the cottage, although further away from the places we like to visit than a lot of places we choose to stay as the cottage is almost perfect!"
Spacious, well equipped, comfortable, lovely views, quite, lovely unfussy decoration, owners are friendly but not "in your face" which I consider to be perfect! Just one tiny thing we did not really like are the small double beds in both main bedrooms. Just a personal preference but a bigger bed would be prefect. Although small they are comfortable! We will be booking again for next year soon
-
"Throughly enjoyed are stay here,excellent location views are amazing,Property has everything you could need,felt so relaxed would definitely return."
-
"A lovely house in a lovely location."
This property was well equipped with everything you need for a good self catering holiday stay. Larger than photos suggest too.
-
"Wonderful property, had everything we needed, comfortable, even more room than we required, rural accommodations yet close to everything."
We loved the sun room with a view. I appreciated the quick check-in by the owners to make sure that we had everything that we needed. A hint for travellers: use the GPS coordinates provided to locate the property, they are spot-on when used with Google Maps. The fractional mileage directions didn’t work on a rental car that only shows full miles.
-
"Brilliant location and very comfortable."
-
"Just stayed for a week at Cwm heulog and I can throughly recommend it as a perfect place to stay."
Ideally situated for the towns and countryside with most places no more than 30 minutes away. The bungalow itself has everything you could possibly need. And the conservatory with its view of the Welsh hills are fantastic. The owners are very friendly and accommodating in every way. We would have no hesitation in going back and hopefully will do so next year.
-
"Cwm Heulog was perfect."
We loved it and the views from the conservatory was amazing. We thoroughly recommend it.
-
"We’ve just come back from a week at Cwm Heulog."
It was a lovely cottage. It had everything you needed, it was a home from home. The house was so spacious. The surrounding land is lovely. It was nice to sit in the conservatory in the evenings and take in the views. Down the road is a nice cafe and a small shop. Would 100% recommend staying here!!
-
"Just perfect"
-
"The property was amazing and the views superb."
Sykes operators need to be more understanding of the requirements for Disabled guests. Whilst this property was excellent for a wheelchair users once in the premises, it was not very suitable for someone is unable to stand or walk as there were large steps to maneuver over. The owners of the property were amazing as they volunteered to opened up the Garage so we could gain access easier.
-
"We had an absolutely lovely break in beautiful Cwm heulog cottage - spacious, well-appointed and so beautifully situated with such stunning views and lovely walks."
We've stayed in many cottages around the U.K. over the years, and none beats this one!
-
"Beautiful house idylic views and surroundings."
The pictures do not do it justice. The house is very spacious and was immaculately clean. Lovely welcome from the owner on arrivial. The sun room was so warm and we enjoyed many a morning in there with a coffee watching the animals. We are already looking to book again and would highly recommend!
-
"Very spacious and extremely clean!"
This property was perfect for a family holiday of 3 generations. Views are outstanding. All the facilities you may need. Black Lion pub nearby was really good food and picturesque location.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay here."
The house is comfortable, spacious and warm, and the sun room is a real bonus. The main road down to the village is busy and has no path, but you can walk through the fields instead, along the river. Although the location is rural, it's very handy for Abergele, and access to the rest of the North Wales coast. The best of both worlds. Just one small thing that someone else also mentioned, a visitors' guide would be useful. We'd definitely stay there again.
-
"Well presented ,spacious comfortable bungalow with a glorious view over the valley."
Cwm Heulog is ideally situated,being a short drive from coast or Snowdonia National park. Very helpful unobtrusive owners living further down the farm drive. We look forward to future visits.
-
"We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend to anyone."
Everything you need is provided, lovely comfy beds and view's from the sun room are fantastic. Only little niggle we found is the height of the step into the property, we had my 90yr old mum with us who found it a struggle to access the property just needs a grab rail and maybe a smaller step added. Will definitely be back.
-
"We had a fabulous time at the property."
Its in a stunning location, and has everything you could need for your holiday. We spent a lot of time in the sun room, which even in chilly January was lovely and warm (even for my 80yr old mother in law) and the views are specatcular. The fresh farm eggs and milk from the owners at the farm next door was a lovely touch, and Megan was very welcoming when we arrived and then left us to have our holiday without interruption. Feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, but actually you're less than 10mins drive from the North Wales coast and all its facilities so an ideal location. Definately on our favourites/will return list, and have already recommended to friends and family.
-
"As a family group of 3 generations we really enjoyed our time at the farm house and the amenities were just excellent."
Hugh and Megan made us feel so welcome and were excellent hosts and we will definitely be back next year.
-
"A couple of issues that occurred during our stay were dealt with extremely quickly by the owners."
-
"We had an absolutely super stay!"
! The cottage was brilliant, so clean and tidy, everything we needed and more. Key collection was simple, communication with the owner was easy. We honestly couldn't fault it and will highly recommend it to anyone.
-

The property
Cwm heulog is a delightful, detached bungalow set on a working sheep farm, just off the main road that runs between Abergele and Llanrwst.
Enjoying a rural location, the property benefits from picturesque views down the valley and towards the River Elwy, encompassing local farms and cattle in all directions.
Surrounded by countryside walks and an idyllic atmosphere, and within a mile of two pubs and a Post Office/general store in the village centre as well as a café serving local delicacies, you can enjoy a varied getaway with friends or family.
Make yourself at home in the sitting room where you can relax and unwind upon the leather sofas as you catch up on your favourite TV shows, keeping warm from the heat of the woodburning stove.
Move into the country style kitchen/diner and utilise the range of appliances on offer, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and even a dishwasher so washing up will be a breeze!
Dine at the dining table or head into the warm and welcoming conservatory as you admire the far-reaching valley views.
As the evening comes to an end, retire to one of the three bedrooms with crisp white bed linen and neutral tones, comprising of; two double bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities and a twin room which is ideal for younger guests.
Kick start your mornings with a refreshing shower in the bathroom, before popping on your walking boots and waterproofs to tackle the surrounding fells.
Benefitting from the owner’s fishing rights, guests are welcome to cast their rods into the River Elwy in the hope of catching some trout or salmon.
The bustling town of Abergele is within easy reach and offers a wonderful stretch of sandy beach, perfect for sunbathing, swimming and water sport activities, along with the impressive Gwrych Castle, which featured on 2020's series of I'm a celebrity...
Get me out of here!, where you can brush up on local history.
For a family day out, head to Llandudno and stroll along the famous promenade whilst the aroma of fish and chips sparks your hunger, before browsing the concessions of Wales’ longest pier and enjoying a tramway up the Great Orme.
Those feeling adventurous should take a scenic drive to Snowdonia National Park, which can be reached within 30 minutes, to hike the formidable Mount Snowdon, Wales' highest peak, which offers breath-taking views and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
For even more fun, travel further afield to Colwyn Bay, where you'll find attractions like the Welsh Mountain Zoo, a theatre, and a variety of historical landmarks; there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
At the end of day, return to the comfort of Cwm heulog and recharge your batteries for the next adventure.

Abergele 5.1 miles; Llandudno 17 miles; Bangor 32.2 miles
This small Welsh village is situated on the River Elwy, some five miles from the beautiful North Wales coastline and playing host to a few handy amenities, including a Post Office and two pubs. The seaside town of Abergele is within easy reach and is renowned for the impressive Gwrych Castle, which overlooks the town, along with its enormous sandy beach. Choose to ride the coastal cycle path, which runs along the Abergele seafront, while the Offa's Dyke pathway, the Clwydian Hill Range and Betws-y-Coed are all close by. The Victorian town of Llandudno makes a superb day out, with its two waterfronts, abundant shops, pubs and restaurants, and its two headlands, the Great Orme and the Little Orme.
