Garreg Wen

Beautiful property in lovely grounds in a nice quiet rural hamlet, bonus was the local pub being about 20 yards away - very friendly made to feel welcome with good home cooked food.

We had a wonderful stay at Garreg Wen.

The house and garden were spacious and comfortable and the hosts extremely helpful. Welcome pack and provisions were a lovely touch. The area itself is beautiful with plenty of wildlife on your doorstep. Would definitely return for a second visit and recommend to others. Thanks so much.

We found the accommodation to be an excellent base for a week’s holiday.

There was plenty of room in the house for five of us and the two dogs. We made a lot of use of the gazebo and provided perfect shelter from the sun, which shone every day.

Amazing property and beautiful garden with gazebo.

Lovely location in little village set in the hills. Would highly recommend.

Top notch quality accommodation with consistent attention to detail - clearly well planned out finishing touches offered; including a full basket of welcome goodies by the hosts - Dave and Jules.

Location was perfect, close to mountains, coastal visits and neighbouring Chester - The Fox Pub in the village is a warm, and friendly experience, great pub grub too! Communication was great. Thanks both, for making our international visit comfortable and easy. Loved our stay!

Having been to Garreg Wen previously, we were not disappointed.

This was our 3rd stay at Garreg Wen.

We love this place! As always, the house was immaculate, with all the facilities you would need and comfy seating and beds. The garden is large and well maintained and our dogs love it. The area is peaceful and quiet. At night we are usually lucky enough to hear the local owl and always look forward to this! Dave (owner) is always so friendly and helpful, on hand for any queries but otherwise leaves us to it. Always a lovely and generous welcome pack with extra goodies this time for Christmas! Dave and Jules even looked after our dogs teddy which he had left behind last time. Teddy was sat waiting for him on our arrival (and we think he might even have had a wash!). Thanks again Dave and Jules for being great hosts. Another fabulous and relaxing stay had by all. We have already booked again for next year.

This property is an absolute gem.

Made a last minute booking in November, and wow, it was absolutely lovely. It was comfortable, beautifully finished, the attention to detail was wonderful. There was everything you could possibly need, a proper home from home. The hosts were also so friendly and helpful. The next time we are in the area we'll definitely be back.

We had a great week at Garreg Wen - spacious, comfortable, with everything we needed in a good location.

Dave and Jules (owners) attention to detail is spot on, combined with a comforting/reassuring level of comms without being imposing. After 25 years of UK rentals we rarely go back as there is so much more of the UK to see - we might just go back to this one!

This was our second visit to the cottage - I did try and find somewhere else for a change but nothing could compete with this place.

The cottage is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Finding somewhere like this that also allows dogs is a rarity. The garden is large and secure for a dog too.

We had a superb week at Garreg Wen, the property and the garden were top class, couldn’t fault a thing.

The village pub opposite was lovely and the playground outside was great for our grandchildren and our little dog thoroughly enjoyed the large garden. The surrounding area is stunning and we hope to visit again and would thoroughly recommend it.

Garreg Wen benefits of a great location, a quiet village and with easy and spacious parking - it's very dog friendly and a beautiful home that's very well maintained with everything provided for.

It's very easy to access the Public House across the road which provides good food. Looking forward to an early return.

Garreg Wen is a beautiful property in a great location and we will definitely be returning.

We loved cooking and spending family time in the well equipped kitchen. The garden is amazing and perfect for dogs. The only negative was that the property is listed as having a BBQ and although it is brick built, it is requested that only disposables are used which was disappointing as we like a good BBQ. That aside, we would highly recommend this property if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing location that is convenient for exploring North Wales. We visited in summer so didn't use the log burner but I can imagine it would be lovely and cosy in the cooler months.

WOW!

Was our first impression of Garren Wen, and WOW was our final thoughts when leaving. Just perfect. Immaculate housekeeping all needs catered for. Our dog loved the beautiful big garden. Our host Dave and Jules wouldn't think twice of going that extra mile and did.We didn't want to leave and will definitely be returning next year.

Beautiful property with a very homely feel, in a peaceful setting.

A delicious welcome pack and lovely flowers on your arrival, doggie treats too! Garden is safe and secure with plenty of room for the dogs to run around. The outside seating area is a lovely spot for al fresco dining. All in all it was a great place to stay and sight see around the stunning scenery’s in North Wales

Wow !

What an amazing cottage, very clean, everything you need and owners were very good too! Responded to questions quickly! Even thinking about booking it again next year

Loved our stay, beautiful house with excellent gardens - the dogs loved it and it was secure.

Ideal for both dogs and children. Fabulous location for exploring north Wales - highly recommend.

Excellent stay at Garreg Wen.

Brilliant for dog owners, superb for people wanting a truly peaceful location. We’ve stayed in a lot of cottages and this is one of our top three

Beautiful cottage in a picturesque village.

Brilliant facilities, everything you could wish for and more. Perfect location for exploring North Wales. Local pub The Fox very good and very handy. Lovely welcome pack of local produce. Enjoyed our week in June enormously, will definitely be back, and the weather was incredible.

Garreg Wen was the perfect location for our 3 generation holiday - and our lively spaniel loved the garden.

The kitchen was impressively equipped for home cooked meals and we can also recommend getting a takeaway from The Fox just down the road (best to pre-order). The owner Dave was quick to respond to any queries and we really appreciated the welcome hamper and flowers. A lovely house in a delightful village with amazing views of the Clwydian hills.

Avril: Lovely well kept cottage in beautiful surroundings.

Tranquil setting and pleasant locals. Lots to see and do and nice pubs. Dog friendly beaches

We really enjoyed our week at Garreg Wen.

It’s a gorgeous, spacious property set in a very friendly little village and ideally located to explore the best of North Wales. Our two dogs loved the garden and exploring the bridleways and footpaths in the surrounding countryside, including Ysceifiog lake. Dave and Jules are great hosts, with good communication and they also left a really nice welcome pack of traditional Welsh treats. Highly recommended.

Lovely property in a lovely village.

Yet again it was an extremely enjoyable holiday for us adults and the two dogs.

The welcome pack makes a great start and the weather was far better than we could possibly have hoped for. Add in the local pub, for either just a social drink or lovely home cooked food, and of course all the beaches and superb places to visit, what more could one wish for. Many thanks to our hosts for allowing us to share their home. Absolutely great.

Beautiful property, very spacious and everything you needed to make your stay enjoyable.

Food at the Fox Inn was well worth the visit. Very friendly people. Welcome pack was lovely.

Garreg Wen has the wow factor from the moment you arrive!

The large garden was perfect for our kids and dogs—plenty of space to run around while we enjoyed the stunning views of the hills and mountains in the distance. Inside, the cottage is incredibly spacious, which was a huge relief as parents of energetic children. It allowed the kids to be themselves without us worrying about feeling cramped. Another lovely touch was the welcome goodies left for us by Dave on the kitchen table—Welsh cakes were a firm family favourite! The location is fantastic too, with so much to do within a 20-minute drive. During our stay, we visited Talacre Beach, the National Catholic Shrine, and Wepre Park, climbed Moel Famau, and even discovered the unique Pet Cemetery. There’s truly something for everyone nearby. A big thank you to Dave for such a wonderful experience—we’ve created some truly special memories. Highly recommended!

Exelent garden for family bbq and kids to run about and play

Beautiful location.

House and garden was amazing. Very clean and homely. Had everything you needed with great hosts. Planning to return next year.

Excellent cottage large, roomy, very clean and excellent value, enjoyed the welcome pack and loved the spacious outdoor area to the rear of the cottage.

Absolutely stunning property and beautiful location.

The space was perfect for 4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Garden was beautiful and playground nearby was quiet and plenty to do. Great location for exploring Flintshire and Conwy. Would happily go back for more weeks, Dave and Jules go the extra mile with comfortable and practical touches within the house. Thank you for a lovely welcome basket and fresh milk

The cottage is beautiful and was spotlessly clean and one which allows dogs too is a huge positive.

There was a lovely bonus of a welcome pack and so many lovely touches even bowls and biscuits for the dog. The garden is big and the play park directly opposite is a bonus for anyone with children. The Fox Inn is a few steps away and highly worth a visit - great food and a friendly welcome from the owners. Would we stay again - most definitely!

beautiful house, homely and welcoming

This property was amazing!

We had such a great time and the house was better than we even thought! Great hosts, super accommodating and really helpful with any questions we had.

Amazing property, very clean and well equipped, great location.

Very generous welcome pack and fresh flowers were a lovely touch. Owner Dave was extremely attentive and helpful.

Lovely property.

Cleanliness first rate. Welcome pack etc very generous. Five star A little more information on places to visit with your dog would be helpful as would places of interest. A word to describe our stay would be fabulous, great hosts always on hand to help.

Garreg Wen is an outstanding cottage located in the most peaceful and quiet area (but still within a stones throw of the pub!

). Both the outside and interior of the cottage are just beautiful. We fell in love with it immediately! Everything was spotless. Everything we could have asked for was provided. The sofas were so comfy, as were the beds. The kitchen was a dream with plenty of space to cook and eat. The garden is a great size and the dogs loved it. The owners are clearly animal lovers, evidenced in the pictures and little ornaments around the house, which we loved, and a lot of thought had also been given to what doggy visitors might need such as dog bowls and treats. Communication from owner (Dave) was great and I felt reassured that had we needed anything/had any problems we would have had a prompt response. We found Garreg Wen to have a very peaceful and happy 'vibe' and we all felt able to fully relax and enjoy our stay. We loved it so much we have already booked again.

Excellent property to stay in, would certainly recommend .

We appreciated the goodies basket and the milk and butter in the Fridge. The owner Dave asked us if there was anything we needed just to let him know. We would love to stay again if in the area.

Absolutely fabulous place, everything you need is catered for.

Huge garden for the dogs. Lovely seating area outside. Nice peaceful area. Eating at the fox inn is a must. Dave popped round to check if everything was to our satisfaction. Nice chap. Definitely a good place to go to again. Thanks for the use of your cottage...

This is a beautiful cottage in a perfect setting & everything we needed was provided & more!

Beautiful furniture & accessories, very comfy bed & lovely good size shower cubicle. The cottage was spotlessly clean & set in a very pretty garden with plenty of furniture for outdoor dining. There’s lots to do in the surrounding area & plenty of local pub restaurants that are dog friendly. There’s also a small pub just over the road from the cottage which serves food & good beer!! The owners checked in with us on arrival & were happy for us to call them if we’d needed to. I can’t recommend this cottage enough…it’s stunning & we will definitely be going back!!

Cannot recommend this cottage enough.

Great hosts, stunning cotttage and location. Great little pub with excellent choice of food just a hop, skip and a jump away! Colwyn Bay beautiful sandy beach 30 min drive and totally recommend Penryn Quarry Zip Wire for a fantastic experience.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely village setting, with a friendly pub nearby.

The owners had thought of everything including fluffy towels, vases of fresh flowers and a very good welcome pack. The garden was extensive with good seating for eating outdoors and enough room to play lots of ball games. Would thoroughly recommend!

We had a fantastic week at Garreg Wen.

The cottage was beautiful, and had everything we needed to make our family holiday a comfortable and memorable one. The village is lovely with some great walks, and everyone we met was very friendly. A trip to the local pub is a must, and the park was an added bonus! Dave, the owner, was really helpful and the welcome hamper was much appreciated. Thank you.

The cottage is truly beautiful, with a wonderful garden, ideal if you are looking for some peace and quiet.

It has all the amenities you could need.

Fantastic cottage.

Very clean & comfortable. Good quality furnishings, linen & bedding. Home from home. Host very attentive. No negatives

We absolutely loved this cottage.

It’s warm and welcoming, spacious and very well equipped. It’s a lovely tranquil setting and take away food from the pub was delicious! The owners couldn’t be more helpful. They’ve thought of everything! Great walks in the local countryside. We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you

The property is fabulous with an extensive garden, really spacious and decorated beautifully with great little added details like cushions and lamps that all tie in with the original character of the house, the welcome pack was also amazing .

The location is quite secluded but everything is within reach by car . There are x2 lovely and charming local pubs and lots of local walks . I travelled with my little dog who absolutely loved the freedom of the garden ,local walks and the close by beaches, Finally the hosts are outstanding and genuinely nice people nothing was too much and everything was thought of to provide you with a brilliant stay. I have already started looking for my next visit .

Beautiful cosy cottage in a fabulous quiet location, perfect for walks and relaxing.

Nice pub with good food down the road if you can tear yourself away from the fabulous kitchen! Great hosts who made us feel very welcome through clear communication and a lovely hamper at the property, would highly recommend.

Stayed at this beautiful cottage for one week, the cottage is so warm and comfortable everything was perfect and everything that you can think of was provided by the owner, Dave messaged us to see if there was anything we needed which was a lovely touch , we will definitely be back and highly recommended anyone having a stay here , thank you Dave and Juliet .

A lovely cosy cottage in a quiet little village, with beautiful surrounding countryside and great views.

The cottage was decorated to a very high standard, and was very clean, with a welcome basket which we appreciated. There is a very large, secure garden which our 2 dogs enjoyed exploring. The local pub (literally a 2 min walk away) 'The Fox Inn' is small and cosy but full of very friendly locals who enjoyed chatting with us. We ate there twice and it is good pub food. You need to book in advance though as it is popular with the locals. We enjoyed local walks from the cottage with our dogs, including through woods beside the local lake. The single track lanes around were very quiet and easy to walk on, with only the occasional local driving past. Dave, the owner, contacted us before, during and after our stay and was very helpful. Would definitely recommend - in a perfect location for visiting both Chester and North Wales.

This is a lovely, homely house.

Lots of space and wonderful attentive hosts. We had a fabulous stay in North Wales.

This is a fantastic property in a location which is exceptionally friendly with amazing accommodation and a fantastic local pub.

Dave and Julia were very attentive and wanted us to have an great stay, which we did. This property is beyond value for money and is ideally located for local attraction in NE Wales. This was a home from home and we will be back!!! Thank you Dave and Julia! Simply brilliant!

A beautiful, comfortable cottage in a peaceful location.

We enjoyed the lovely welcome basket, the friendly local pub and exploring the surrounding countryside.

Beautiful house and gardens, very well presented with attention to detail.

Comfortable and welcoming. Location is quiet but with pub a very short walk. Super countryside with footpaths on doorstep.
