Minafon

What a lovely cottage for the 6 of us to stay.

Nice 10 minute walk along the river into town. Had everything you needed and is surprisingly spacious considering the look from the outside. Place was clean and tidy and it was great having 2 car parking spaces reserved next to it. Would definitely stay again.

To say we were dissapointed is an understatement.

On arrival there was a terrible smell from all the drains. Then in the lounge the lamp has not been cleaned for a long while with cob webs above the lamp.Then in the the twin bedroom we tried to use the lamp but could not switch it on as there is no switch. On moving the matress from the bed to have access to the plug we were no happy with thw wall plug point being loose and a huge hole where another socket should have been and we felt this was too dangerous to try anything, The main carpet in the corridor was badly stained in two places which was not a good shight. On trying to cook wand set the table for six there was only 4 missmatched forks only 3 teaspoons and about 8 knives all different is size and matches. The bunk bed should be for children only as all the slats on the lower bed collapsed when an adult tried to sleep on the bed. There are also cracked tiles in the bathroom off the main lounge.The skirting on the main stairway is all comming away from the walls, In the kitchen there are problems with the kickboards as the are very loose in ineffective

We stayed for 2 nights to attend a wedding at Tyn Dwr Hall.

There were 4 of us in our party, we found the cottage easy to access, there was parking allocated and we collected the key via the keybox, nice and simple. The cottage was only a 5 minute drive from the Hall which was very convenient for us. The accommodation was absolutely fine, clean, well appointed and good value for money. We did not spend a lot of time there in all honesty as we arrive late evening on the first night, spent all of the next day at the wedding and then left early morning on our last day. No complaints, everything as expected. Side note, we highly recommend The Three Eagles restaurant for a nice meal out, we had dinner there on our first evening and the food was absolutely stunning... we will be coming back soon to eat there again.

We have stayed in all three of the cottages, but was a little disappointed this time.

This was because the upstair bedroom door was broken and handing off, washer door had fallen off and the drains were blocked and smelt awful, to the point we did leave early. This cottage was more worn than the other two we have stayed in.

A good location for the town but has an ongoing issue with blocked/overflowing drain by the back door causing a smell.

Broken cabinet door in the kitchen and a broken bedroom door. Damp in the downstairs bathroom both of the bathrooms need the floors re-grouting. The rendering is coming off near the front door, overall the photos do not reflect the tired nature of the cottage.

Lovely cottage only problem was 2 toilets were blocked and a bit of a smell

We stayed in this property from Monday-Friday.

The accommodation is in a great location with scenic views and a short distance to the local town and supermarket. The property was well equipped, clean and comfortable, however there are some areas in which improvements could be made. * the element of the grill is not working * unpleasant damp odour in the downstairs bathroom * drainage issues, resulting in the shower tray not draining quickly enough * Handles on sauce pans need fixing (no screwdriver available to do this) * more games would have been welcome, 3 board games available, however “operation” did not work as had no batteries, “frustration” game broken, “pictionary” parts missing. * slats on the bottom bunk kept slipping out. * parking was tricky, our party had 2 cars and there are limited parking spaces (2x per property) a van parked in one of our spaces throughout the duration of the stay. * could not locate a mop bucket, or a floor mat for the shower overflow. Despite the above recommendations of areas to be addressed, we had a lovely comfortable stay and would recommend this property and return to this property for future breaks in this area. Thankyou

All good, we enjoyed our stay - thank you

Lovely cottage in great location - 5 mins from Llangollen high street/town centre.

Has everything you need in well equipped kitchen with tea/coffee/biscuits and hand wash/dishwasher tab/and basic condiments. Recycling bins outside too. TV has good variety of channels. Bedrooms and furnishings decorated to high standard and extremely comfortable. Bathrooms and showers and en-suite fab. Only gripe would be none of the fans/extractors seemed to work in bathrooms - which would be easy to fix. Beware of the well marked drop/step in hallway. Want to stress what a lovely, hospitable place it was and we had a very comfortable short stay there. They have obviously spent a lot of money on high quality decor/furnishings. Highly recommend. Was only 10 minute walk to music event by the river. Be sure to visit the Corn Mill pub/restaurant which has a great menu and you can watch the canoeists take on the rapids! Slept very well - hard to get our 18 and 20 year olds up as bedrooms so comfy. Very close to Aldi and home bargains for quick shop. Parking to side of the cottage is good. Key instructions easy to follow for check in/check out. Thanks for a great relaxing stay!

One or two little issues but nothing to spoil the holiday, would definitely go back again

Really lovely cottage with excellent facilities.

Had a lovely long weekend and the location was great as our 4 teenagers were able to go over to the park and down to the river to entertain themselves, with a short pleasant walk into the town. The Wi-Fi was not working when we arrived, red light on the router box and asking for admin approval when we tried to connect. With no phone signal in the cottage it did mean that to look for places to go we had to go and sit in the car or to the park for data. This of course was a huge inconvenience to the teenagers who had to accept that their “snap scores” were ruined or get fresh air at the park to access their data, and a minor one for us parents, who spent our evenings conversing, playing cards and generally “torturing” the kids with games and family time. We had a lovely time, and whilst some guests might feel the Wi-Fi needs fixing, actually I’m not sure it does.

Lovely large cottage, well equipped, comfy beds with lovely quilts and bedding.

Good location. Only issue was it is on a main road which we were aware of but having children with us we found the door locking system unsafe as it was just a catch to turn at an accessible height for little hands. Could be easily rectified with a high up bolt or a key lock. Stairs could do with a lick of paint but overall we loved it.

On entering the property I was initially concerned as the carpet was dirty, as was the paintwork,but the rest of the property is fine.

The entrance really does let the property down. The cottage was well equipped for pleasant stay and was a good size for 5 of us. The property is literally on a very busy main road so great care was needed when entering or leaving due to having dogs with us,I dont think I would stay here with small children. The stairs are quiet steep and would not suit anybody with mobility problems . The property is centrally located,ashort walk into town,supermarket and parks,reaĺly no need to move the car if only staying local. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and would stay again if holidaying in this area .

We had a lovely time.

Only one negative. The temperature of shower in shower room was not adjustable. This is probably easily fixed. Just thought you should know.

The property Minafon at Llangollen met our needs perfectly.

Llangollen town centre is only a few minutes stroll and has an array of shops, pubs, cafes, and restaurants. The surrounding area is beautiful and is great for outdoor activities. Minafon is situated on a busy main road, which wasn’t an issue for us but may be for families with children. Generally the house was clean however the stair carpet and maybe lounge furniture could do with a clean. A lick of paint here and there especially on the stair walls is needed. The facilities in the house were great even though we didn’t use them all. There is parking at the side of the property and access to Minafon on our arrival was easy. Overall Minafon is great value and I would definitely use it again.

Great location, fabulous facilities and very clean.

It is right on a busy road so good to be aware of this and the parking is next door but involves reversing in on a busy corner. However, this did not affect the enjoyment of our holiday

Lovely cottage.

Everything you need and very clean plus everything on your doorstep. Park and shops over the road and only a two minute walk to the village centre.

Lovely property with bonus parking and close to town and supermarket.

Unfortunately we had problem with handover as it was obvious there had been a problem with the previous tenants. The cleaners had left washing in the machine, dish washer running and a mop and bucket of dirty water in the kitchen. The oven was also very dirty. We were unable to get into the downstairs bathroom as the lock was stuck, luckily our friends had a small tool box in the car and we were able to take door handles off the door and gain access but it did mean we couldn’t shut the door. We did speak to the owners who were very helpful and apologetic. The main knob on the fire in the lounge had also been broken off so this was unusable too. Apart from this we loved the cottage.

The general facilities and location of the property were ideal.

However, we were extremely dissatisfied with the overall cleanliness of the property. The photographs were misleading, and upon our arrival, we found underwear under beds/behind bedside table, carpet stains, chewing gum on the toilet roll holder and hair balls.

An ideal location for visiting Llangollen and for the Eisteddfod.

Although on a main road I chose the property for proximity to the Eisteddfod. The cottage is clean and tidy and despite some previous reviews suggesting the beds were uncomfortable we all found them very comfortable. The hallway/stairwell walls and carpets could benefit from stain removal as this is a high traffic area and some guests clearly don’t remove their shoes upon entry.

The property was a good size and very comfortable.

Only a small hiccup was the bathroom being next to the lounge.

Just spent a week at this lovely cottage.

only niggle was the matress's my single bed was soft and it felt like sleeping on something wobbly....my sister said the same about the double...but hey after a few bevvies it was no problem....hope to stay there again....

This cottage and it's neighbouring terrace boast the most idyllic setting and views one could hope for, right on the river with hill panorama.

Everything you need is within walking distance including cafés, restaurants and supermarket with small businesses to explore too. The accommodation is of a high standard and generous size but there is no garden. No problems for us though as we visited off season. Traffic noise is noticeable however and I would have been much more concerned about this had we visited in the summer with windows open. There were a few scruffy bits here and there. Toilet roll holders falling off the wall, a cracked bath and loose radiator casing. Cleanliness was mostly consistent except for a load of dirty water left in the bath. Oh, and do go prepared to visit Aldi when you arrive because toilet paper and dishwasher tablet will not see you through the first night. Overall a lovely base to explore north Wales from.

Minafon was very impressive.

Clean tidy and well equipped. Double bed extremely comfy. Location is brilliant. We missed our TV in bedroom but this isn't a must for most. The only minor concern...... . Shower too hot in upstairs walk in. Didn't know how to turn it down. Other than that shall definitely stay again. Thankyou so much for a pleasant comfy stay.

Great cottage , fantastic location no garden but beautiful park straight across the road

We had a very enjoyable stay at Minafon, comfortable accomodation, great facilities and good parking.

Location was wonderful just a quick 10 minute walk into town. We will definitely stay again.

Clean, well maintained property.

Surprisingly quiet environment given the location. Would certainly consider staying here again.

The cottage location is superb.

It's a 2 minute walk to the river and a 5 minute stroll to the bridge in the middle of town. There is dedicated parking next to the cottage. The main road is quite busy with slow moving traffic but we couldn't hear it from inside the cottage. There are 3 bathrooms and lots of beds. My personal preference would be for a firmer mattress but I slept fine. The downstairs rooms are fairly small, it's an old building, but we all had enough space. The kitchen is well equipped and has a dishwasher and washing machine. We had contact with owners a couple of times and they are nice people. The price for our stay was really reasonable.We had a great holiday in Minafon in Llangollen and I recommend it for families.

Great location

We enjoyed it that much we've already booked again

We had a fantastic family stay.

Shops, children's play area and even the river for a bare foot paddle all minutes from the property. The owner is very friendly and helpful when needed.

enjoyed the holiday a lot .

i will definately look again next year.

Lovely walk along the river to town centre.

Very family and dog friendly. Beautiful countryside.

Lovely place and we would stay again

We felt that the description of the traffic noise as being "minimal" was somewhat misleading as the cottage was less than a metre from the A5 and, it being summer, we felt the need to keep the windows open.

However the proximity of the cottage to the town centre via a Riverside walk was a real advantage for our family. We felt that the provision of 4 dishwasher tablets for our use was insufficient for a weeks stay in a cottage that accommodates up to 6 people. 7 tablets would be a more appropriate number. We enjoyed our stay very much and would be very happy to stay in the cottage again. Thank you

+ We really enjoyed our week at Minafon and would stay again.

Great location with 3 bathrooms, spacious living areas and good sized bedrooms. Llangollen was beautiful and there are plenty of things to do to pass the time. - Check in time was changed only 2 days before arrival to an hour later which altered our plans last minute. There were at least 5 spiders in every room upon arrival which was more frustrating when the cleaning checklist in the kitchen had a tick next to the cleaning of high up areas. Communal outside bin was full upon arrival on Saturday and replaced on Thursday. Was full again when we deparred- it may be worth investing in a second communal bin. I would recommend and definitley stay again.

Lovely little house, perfect location & the owner was always on hand to help if any issues.

He went above and beyond to help us. Perfect family holiday. Have already recommended it to friends

Brilliant location plenty of space for a family we had a wonderful Time

Excellent location and lovely accommodation.

Family of 2 adults 4 teenagers and a dog. Walking distance to all amenities even Aldi! Llangollen is a lovey place highly recommended.

The cottage was beautifully presented, with good quality furnishings throughout.

Great views of the river, short walk into town. Perfect base for restaurants shops and bars.We had a wonderful time at the cottage with our family of six adults and two babies , Would definitely recommend it ,and will be returning next year .

First the good points; nicely situated near park, nicely decorated, has parking (though could do with some tarmac putting down), and freesat available was handy.

Now the bad points; not clean! Upstairs had obviously not been hoovered (and no hoover provided), though bedding was clean. Downstairs was the worst. We had to sweep the floor 5 minutes after arrival, leaving it in one corner of the room as no dustpan provided, crisps from previous occupants still on floor and just under settee, dirty hand towel in bathroom, long hair in freezer drawer, dirty cuttlery, thick dust on skirting boards - it was quite gross. However, bathrooms were nice and clean, which was surprising due to the state of the rest of it. Seemed like the cleaner had given up after changing the beds and cleaning the bathrooms! Would have been perfect if only it had been completely clean.

The outside particularly the back entrance and car parking space was very mucky as we had a lot of rain and using mainly the back door to access the cottage due to it being on a main road we were treading dirt in most of the time.

The accommodation itself was excellent.

Lovely place

Beautifully decorated cottage in a perfect location for all amenities.

It was a last minute booking and Sykes couldn’t have been more helpful! Highly recommend.
