  • "Great location for walking and exploring the area."

    Good communication on booking and fantastic hosts. Highly recommended.

  • "Overall our stay was ok."

    Great location for exploring the coast, spacious ground floor apartment with a nice big bed and plenty of privacy with the windows being so high. It does make the apartment a little dark and gloomy but we didn’t mind that so much. We didn’t have the best start to our stay, no welcome pack and The Red next door - a coffee shop and event space owned by the same owners as the apartment - has a late night opening on a Friday with music playing until midnight and then the Saturday night there was a 21st birthday party so lots of noise and people chatting until late for the first two nights. The windows are a little awkward to access, we stood on a kitchen chair to open & close them, maybe provide a wooden pole with a hook? The bathrooms could have been cleaner, the grout needs some attention and the chrome of the fixtures and fittings wasn’t polished. The clothes hangers were so irritating, they’re the suede/fabric ones that are meant to stop your clothes from sliding but you can’t actually get your clothes on!!!! We would return but would opt for a shorter mid-week stay and bring our own hangers!!!!

  • "We stayed here in July 2025 with our young daughter."

    We had an excellent time, it's in an excellent location, just a short drive from Rhyl and with the waterfall across the street. There are lots of things to see and do in the vicinity - all within an hour's drive. Facilities were great, was really handy to have a washer/dryer in the kitchen. The only downside would be the noise from the upstairs apartments. It's an old building so there are limitations to soundproofing but be aware that if you are unlucky enough to have a heavy footed upstairs neighbour during your stay, it may keep you awake. That being said, it wouldn't stop me from returning. Overall we had a wonderful trip and would recommend.

  • "We had a lovely stay here."

    Whilst we were happy with most things I personally found that the style of sofa was not comfortable to accommodate 4 adults. Also when I viewed the photos I noted the lovely garden. As the property was listed as dog friendly I was disappointed to find we couldn't sit in the garden with our pet. We were told by a gentleman in the rear flat not to take our dog into the garden. Other than those 2 minor points we loved our stay and would recommend to others

  • "This apartment is extremely clean with very modern fittings."

    The beds are huge and very comfortable. The garden is really beautiful but Sykes hadn’t made it clear that dogs are not allowed in it which rather spoilt our stay as the only place to take the dog after 7.30 p.m. until 9.00 a.m. is the waterfall car park. The apartment is definitely more suited to slimmer, younger people as the shower door is very narrow and the sofa is very difficult to get up from for elderly overweight people!

  • "What a beautiful village, everything you need and more."

    The village residents are so welcoming and helpful. Strength rooms are perfectly positioned at the bottom of the village opposite the waterfall and seating area, which is very well cared for, The apartment is perfect. We were in dog friendly ground floor appt 2 of which there are 2. The upper floors are not for dogs. Everything you needed was in the apptment. Beds were comfy, bathrooms modern and both had showers, one over bath one cubicle. The only thing that was uncomfy was the low settee with no headrest. We used pillows off the bed. It had Alexa, smart TV and the history of the owners group alarm all over the appt was great to see. Gail, the manager was wonderful and also available in the licensed cafe, the Red, next door, just a putty it wasn't open over tea time, but great coffee and cake, the pub a bit further on opp the church served great food though. We had a great stay, wished we had booked longer, and will be back. Thank you so much for letting us stay

  • "The Strength Rooms are amazing - and even better than hoped for."

    The supporting info was accurate - but sometimes the reality doesn’t always match up! But not in this case! Really outstanding. And Dyserth is a great little place to stay. Away from the crowds but close enough to amazing beaches and great walks. Don’t miss out on eating next door in The Red! Another amazing place - THE best toasters we’ve ever had. All of the above comes with the friendliest and most helpful staff! Highly recommend. Thanks to everyone.

    The manager, Gail, is so kind and helpful. She made us feel at home straight away. Dyserth is a beautiful little village and the apartments are right opposite the waterfall. The garden at the back is gorgeous and a lovely sunny spot to sit in. 110% recommended.

  • "The Strength Rooms in Waterfall Apartments is unquestionably one of the best holiday rentals we have ever stayed in, and definitely the best in the UK."

    It was immaculately clean and incredibly comfortable, equipped with everything we needed (and we're quite demanding!). It is a stunning chapel conversion with a pretty garden at the back, and the other apartments in the building (we had a peek courtesy of Gail, the manager) are even more impressive, especially the gorgeous penthouse. Dyserth is a charming village and a perfect location for exploring North Wales, set in proximity to both Snowdonia and the sea. My husband and I spent a fabulous week walking and mountain hiking, from what is the perfect base for that. Both Gail and Jules, the owner were fantastically helpful and lovely. Completely recommended!

The Waterfalls Apartments

The Waterfalls Apartments are beautifully finished inside a historic chapel that dates back to 1823, (owned by local couple Jules and Mike Peters), situated opposite the stunning Dyserth waterfalls. Mike is the lead singer of The Alarm, the renowned Welsh rock band, appearing on stages around the world with U2, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and many more. The Alarm Chapel is also the site of many recorded Alarm albums over the years and when The Alarm are not touring the world, you will find Mike and Jules pottering about the village of Dyserth where they reside (and where Mike was born) with their two children, Dylan, Evan ap Michael and Golden Retriever, Ziggy Stardust. The Chapel has been lovingly developed by Mike and Jules over the last few years, transforming this special holy place into five modern apartments with Italian furniture and finishings. All the apartments come with off-road parking as well as flexible sleeping arrangements, for extra convenience. The village of Dyserth, which was once recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086, lies below the slopes of Moel Hiraddug - designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty since 1985; its wildflower spaces harbour such rarities as white violets and orchids while overhead you may see buzzards wheeling and, if you are very lucky, peregrine falcons. The name Dyserth has evolved from the original Dissard which means “hermit’s cell”, the village is steeped in history and the remnants of previous dwellers are dotted around the landscape - from an ancient pre-Roman hill fort on the top of Moel Hiraddug to the industrial heritage of quarries and lime kilns. Visitors have been coming to Dyserth since the 18th century to enjoy the fresh air as it is situated several hundred feet above sea level. The village is renowned for its spectacular waterfall (situated opposite the Waterfalls Apartments) which cascades seventy feet from the River Ffyddion in the centre of the village near the Parish church of St Bridget with its superb stained glass windows. Within walking distance from the Chapel, you can visit the local Waterfall Shop as well as local pubs, The Red Lion and New Inn, whilst further up the hill in the upper village is the Bod Unig Pub (where Mike was born) and Frankies Coffee Shop (all favourites of the Peters’ Family). An award winning butchers is situated on the High Street as well as a chemist, beauticians, hairdressers, gift shop, barbers, 2 convenience stores and Post Office plus a Chippy and Indian Takeaway! Nearby there is the dramatic ruins of the 13th century Rhuddlan Castle, where Mike and Jules promoted Rhuddlan Castle Rocks, a concert featuring The Levellers and Ocean Colour Scene as well as being the location for the award-winning film Vinyl, filmed at the Castle and the Chapel, featuring acclaimed actors, Phli Daniels and Keith Allen; in Rhuddlan there is also a stunning golf course (discounted green fees on request as the Peters Family play golf). A short drive or walk takes you to the coast, (the Peters’ Family are avid hikers), and you can explore the local seaside towns of Rhyl and Prestatyn which boast miles of golden sandy beaches and stunning new hip beach bars, including the KiteSurf Bar, The Pavilion 1891 Restaurant & Theatre and the funky Nova Beach Cocktail Bar where you can watch the sun go down after a memorable day spent between the mountains and the sea. Further afield, the Chapel is the perfect launch pad to enjoy the scenic majesty of Snowdonia National Park plus the gateway to adventure and all that local firm Zip World can offer, be it Treetop Nets, a Forest roller coaster, or the fastest zipline in the world; not to mention Surf Snowdonia where you can enjoy the surreal and invigorating experience of surfing in the mountains! The island of Anglesey beckons in the distance, less than an hour’s drive away with sandy bays, rocky coves, windsurfing and the best parts of the North Wales Coastal Path which leads you all along the coastline from The Chapel and beyond. Head inland to the lakes and the market towns of Denbigh and Ruthin, set against a backdrop of castles that have to be seen to be believed. Whichever direction your staycation takes you, the Waterfalls Apartments are a splendid base whilst you explore the beauty and diversity of all that North Wales has to offer. The Peters’ Family tour the world every year but have a passionate love affair with their local Village and are excited to welcome you to share in all their favourite experiences of Home entwined with their experiences from distant shores. There is a welsh word called ‘hiraeth’ with no direct translation other than a ‘longing’ or a ‘desire’. We hope that The Waterfalls Chapel will stir this feeling in you and create a holiday of a lifetime.
