“The Barn is NOT fit for larger than average adults.”

Also there is potential of tripping up at the bottom of the stairs in the kitchen area.

“Accommodation is extremely clean and tidy.”

All the facilities you could need are there.The owners are very nice welcoming, dig friendly people. The surroundings are very pleasant and peacefull. The Cottage is lovely and cosy and warm. There are negative comments to be made. Lovely holiday is wonderfull accommodation and surroundings.

“Good location.”

Nice but small holiday cottage. Extra touches included dog bed and bowls, dog shampoo and towel, brew making kit and milk in the fridge.

Mrs Knight August 2018

“Fantastic and relaxing break.”

Set in lovely part of the country the Barn made an excellent base for exploring the area. Spending time on the farm was enhanced by the friendliness of the hosts. Ideal accommodation for 2 adults and a dog.

Mrs Maytum July 2018

“Heather and the rest of the family were friendly and very helpful.”

The two resident dogs were a joy and very well behaved. The cottage was just as we expected from the description and served our purposes well for the fortnight. The welcome tray was appreciated (milk, eggs, and brownies!) on arrival. A nice touch was the tea, coffee, etc. which were also supplied at the cottage, as well as items such as kitchen roll, foil etc. In addition there were a few essentials in the bathroom (shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and soap etc.) for those who may require them. There was an iron/ironing board/clothes airer which was very useful to us in particular. A nice quiet place to spend some time and I would definitely recommend to friends.

Mr Edwards July 2018

“Very nice, small and cute terraced cottage.”

Ingenious in many ways there was two of us and our dog aka Thor (bernese mountain dog) and was still enough room for us. Loved the location so peacful and quiet. You had no idea you were on a working farm. The little touches were great fresh eggs, milk and chocolate brownie! Everything worked fine the Wi-Fi was super fast to say you are on the side of a mountain. Perfect few days.

“The cottage was not as we expected.”

It was adequate. Hundreds of flies, 10 cannisters of fly relent and 10 hanging fly traps purchased just to try and get some sort of freedom from these intrusive beings. Had to walk to the top of the hill or drive to civilisation to get a signal. To say this was the back of beyond is an understatement. Heather and her family and fellow workers were good and we enjoyed their company. But, never again will we returning to here and were wondering what was instore at another Sykes Holiday?

- Mrs Pay, June 2018
Mr Jones June 2018

“Beautiful location - rural setting on edge of farm.”

Cottage small but cosy, well laid out, in excellent order, with good facilities and very clean. Facilities for our dog were excellent. We appreciated the dog bed, blankets, towels and ball and the use of a field opposite for exercise. We also appreciated Heather's warm welcome and the provisions left for us to get us going. The Internet service was really fast, though we had occasional problems connecting. Sound insulation between the cottages wasn't great but we had quite neighbours so no problem - hope they thought the same of us! Location very convenient for exploring the Dee valley, and Eglwysig mountain. Local pub at the end of the road very friendly - be prepared for the banter! - and serves good beer and food at very reasonable prices. All in all it's a 5 star rating from us.

Mrs Brandreth May 2018

“Heather was so friendly and welcoming.”

She provided a dog bed, blanket, towel, food bowls and toy for our dog. And she provided tea, coffee, sugar, milk and eggs for us as a welcome. So unexpected but lovely. The Barn was perfect and a great base for venturing out. Loved it

- Mrs Brandreth, May 2018
Mr Betts April 2018

“Heather was brilliant most helpful.”

Did not expect eggs on arrival. Will be even better when broadband eventually arrives for the wifi David & Jennifer

Mrs Heenan April 2018

“We were welcomed by the host Heather, who was a warm and friendly person.”

On entering the barn we found waiting for us eggs from the farm, brownies, fresh milk,tea coffee and sugar a lovely touch. We felt we were at home and enjoyed our stay very much and will definitely be returning soon. A beautiful place to stay

- Mrs Heenan, April 2018
Ms Mcnally March 2018

“The barn had everything you could need for your holiday including small incidentals that other places don't supply like kitchen roll, foil etc.”

Also a lovely little welcome pack.. Bathroom had toiletries and tissues as well. It's small and compact which made it warm and cosy. The only downside was the stairs to the bed were quite slippy and I had a fall coming down them. I spoke to the owners about it and this is being sorted out right away. So with that addressed I would highly recommend the barn and other cottages they have as a great place to stay. Secluded yet close to shops and attractions and perfectly placed as a base to explore North Wales.

- Ms Mcnally, March 2018
Mrs Webb June 2017

“Lovely comfortable cottage in great location.”

Highly recommended

- Mrs Webb, June 2017
Mr Roberts January 2017

“Loved it! Charming little property, had everything we needed and was very cosy.”

Lovely friendly owners who made sure everything was fine. Had a great time.

Mr Smith October 2016

“The Broadband did not work at all.”

Whilst this was not a disaster it would have been easier to plan days and book tickets etc and to generally find out about the area. Unfortunately this facility has become part of life. From what I was told the owners are trying to get Talk Talk to fix the problem. I think they will end up with another company Holiday was realyy good Local pub Duke of Wellington excellent

- Mr Smith, October 2016
Ms Greenaway August 2016

“Owners are super friendly but not intrusive to your stay.”

Beautiful countryside within minutes by car. Canal walks galore. Enjoyed chilling in the shared patio area and using the field opposite to exercise Winnie. All in all a very relaxing break. Will definitely recommend and definitely revisit.

- Ms Greenaway, August 2016
Mr Jennings May 2016

“The Barn was cosy, comfortable, quiet and situated in a scenic and rural area.”

The owners were friendly.

- Mr Jennings, May 2016
Mrs Williams September 2015

“The Barn was well equipped and spotlessly clean.”

Was very pet friendly and we were very impressed! The owners were very welcoming and we couldn't fault anything.

- Mrs Williams, September 2015
Miss Larter August 2015

“This was our second stay at this cottage and it was just as fantastic as the first time.”

Lovely farm with really friendly people. Already recommended this place to family and friends, we can't wait to come again!

- Miss Larter, August 2015
Mrs Hawthorn July 2015

Mr Mitchell July 2015

“The Barn was a charming little cottage which formed a great base for our travels around Wales.”

- Mr Mitchell, July 2015
Mr Pritchard March 2015

“Liked the friendly reception and the amount of care taken to ensure we had a memorable visit.”

We had our dog with us and he could not have been better received - he had a large field to exercise in. We cannot praise The Barn highly enough and would recommend it to the Queen if she wanted a quiet break! We will definitely be back.

- Mr Pritchard, March 2015
Dr Millward December 2014

“The location and accommodation were fantastic.”

The crowning glory were the keepers who made us and our dog very welcome. The secure field made our dogs holiday, as she was allowed to run free.

- Dr Millward, December 2014
Mr Pritchard November 2014

“The Barn is very dog friendly, as was the owner.”

There were numerous walks in the area and the owner provided a book with alternative walks. In addition, there is a field where dogs can interact.

- Mr Pritchard, November 2014
Mr Pitt October 2014

“The owners were very friendly, we liked the location and setting.”

It is handy for many attractions.

- Mr Pitt, October 2014
Mr Lloyd September 2014

“A great location for country walks with the dog.”

Lovely, thoughtful hosts who own the property - we had a warm welcome and the property was very clean. Plenty of good local information provided in the welcome pack. Captain's Bed was a novelty and the opportunity to buy fresh eggs from the farm was great. The dog was very happy to meet the farm's own pets and the opportunity to roam in a field.

- Mr Lloyd, September 2014
Mr Coney July 2014

“The owner's could not have been more welcoming.”

Excellent level of hospitality and the location was also perfect for our needs. 10/10!

Tyn Celyn Cottages

Llangollen 4 miles. This is a group of four stone-built terraced barn conversions, part of a development of six properties, which stand in a lovely location on an 80-acre working livestock farm on the slopes of the Berwyn Mountains, close to the World Heritage Site of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Llangollen Canal. Dating back to the 17th century, these cottages have all been carefully restored to offer a range of accommodation that will suit most small parties. Where possible, local materials have been sourced for the use in their renovation and many of the windows have been handmade on site from oak reclaimed from the farm itself. The cottages are supplied by purified spring water and free-range eggs are readily available to purchase from the owner's farm. There are scenic canal and hill walks, and canal boats can be hired daily for a memorable voyage across the aqueduct or through the Vale of Llangollen into the town. The Panorama walk is one mile away, from which on a clear day seven counties can be seen, or visit the world-famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, which is just two miles away. Enjoy day trips to Snowdonia, historic Chester, or Lakes Bala and Vyrnwy and then return to one of these cosy holiday cottages to relax.
