“Lovely cottage close to lots of amenities”

- Mrs Bardsley, November 2019
“The welcoming bottle of wine was appreciated but would have appreciated more a carton of milk and a few tea bags!”

- Mr Mawby, September 2019
“We were most impressed with both the facilities and cleanliness upon arrival at Scotch Hall Cottage .”

It exceeded our expectations as a property and its location adjacent to both a great pub and the Pontcysyllte aquaduct were the icing on the cake. Highly recommended.

- Mr Lovell, September 2019
“A fabulous cottage in a unique location and within easy reach of local amenities and attractions.”

The owners are lovely and most helpful too.

- Mr Bayfield, August 2019
“We had an amazing family holiday at Scotch Hall, Trevor.”

The owners of the cottage went above and beyond to ensure we had what we needed ( travelling with a small baby) and we were welcomed with a bottle of wine and a lovely clean house with a nice quirky layout. The location was also a winner, right next to the canal and the stunning aquaduct. Having a baby meant early nights in though, so our only negative point was the tv situation was quite basic, no ability to watch catch up/ sign in to Netflix etc. However, there was good Wi-Fi . We would definitely stay again and recommend it !

- Mr Liptrot, August 2019
“Really good, just be aware of a few things”

Booked through Sykes holiday cottages which was easy. Key in keysafe on arrival Clean and tidy with all that you'd need including dishwasher etc and pub (a nice one with good food and friendly staff) next door! Brilliant location for the Aquaduct and walks nearby. A few issues however. Soft furnishings/decor inside a little dated/tired. Only one bathroon/toilet so we formed a queue every morning (there were 5 of us) Plenty of scope to bang your heads in the upstairs bedrooms where access was small 'ish. Third bedroom had to be accessed through second bedroom so not ideal if it wasn't a family group (could be a privacy issue?). No recycling facilities at the property (VERY disappointing) Not a great deal of outside space. We do appreciate the cottage is limited by planning issues (It's listed we believe?) Car safe and secure in pub car park. Local shop 5 mins walk. Easy access to Llangollen via a 10 minute drive where you can find the steam train/horse drawn barge trips etc All in all would I recommend it YES but you need to be aware of the minor issues as mentioned An information book in the property would be a nice touch

- Stephen M, August 2019
“The cottage is good for families but with the third bedroom being accessed through the second it wouldn't be ideal for other than family members?”

?? Only one bathroom/toilet isn't enough for 3 bedrooms and a queue formed in the morning! We appreciate the restrictions on a listed property. No recycling facilities (didn't like that) Not much outside space actually on the cottage site but brilliantly placed for the Canal, Aquaduct and pub! Great Wifi Soft furnishings and decorations a tad dated Low ceilings/doorways so be aware of 'head banging'

- Mr Molloy, August 2019
“The cottage was very old and quirky but plenty of room and a great location.”

There are some lovely walks into Llangollen and Chirk along the canal plus some more shorter local walks. We took our dog and he loved it. The cottage is dated inside but it suits the age of the cottage and as a base it was great. The pub next door is an added bonus and the food there was delicious. The pub owners were very welcoming and gave us lots of information about the local area and things to do and see. If you are after a luxury cottage this isn’t it but if you want a good, clean, comfortable base to explore the area then this is it. We had a really lovely time.

- Mrs Hipkiss, June 2019
“This cottage has a superb location if you're mad about narrowboats and canals!”

We believe that, in this day and age, only one bathroom for six people is not acceptable; and this property does have the room to provide en-suite facilities, just needs the money spending on it.

- Mrs O'keeffe, May 2019

It is a grade 2 listed, 220 year old building therefore cannot alter the building structure. Unable to add any en-suite facilities on this basis. Money is spent on property wherever necessary. Sykes owner relations
“Scotch Hall Cottage was the perfect place to spend a couple of days prior to setting out on our narrow boat holiday.”

The setting beside the canal is lovely and the pub next door makes eating out easy if you don’t want to drive somewhere.

- Ms Snodgrass, May 2019
“Excellent cottage in a fantastic location.”

Really appreciated being able to book for 4 nights as this was all the available time we had as a family to go on holiday. Good price for the cottage.

- Mrs Dewire, May 2019
“How good is this cottage ?”

We stayed there last year & have already booked again for next year. Can I say more ?

- Mr Briggs, March 2019
“The cottage was clean and warm.”

Food at the attached pub was good value pub grub. We’d love to come back!

- Mrs Keenan, March 2019
“Wow what a wonderful cottage perfect location very clean and the bedrooms where ...”

Wow what a wonderful cottage perfect location very clean and the bedrooms where so much bigger than i expected i would definitely book this cottage again owners even left us a welcome gift of wine and biscuits would recommend anyone to stay here

- Mrs Mitchell, December 2018
“Fantastic location with stunning views.”

A very cosy dog friendly cottage with good WiFi and lots on your doorstep - would definitely return

- Ms Barrett, October 2018
“What a wonderful place to stay”

We have been to the cottage many times and have always found the cottage to be extremely clean and lovely, you could not wish for nicer owners who could not be more helpful and always goes the extra mile to make sure everything is okay for your stay but are not intrusive. We have stayed in many cottage/houses over the years but we just love this wonderful cottage, it is in an ideal location and hopefully we will enjoy MANY MORE visits to our favorite place.

- Sheltiegirl35, August 2018
“This is an old, unusual, quirky property in a glorious location!”

10/10 for the location. We’ve fallen in love with canal life! It’s also handy being right next to The Telford Inn, with good food. The layout is on 3 Levels, with plenty of space in each of the rooms. The bedding was clean and overall facilities basic. A visitors book and tourist information would have been handy. Thankfully, the WiFi was strong enough to plan our own activities and find the nearest supermarket. Although we will definitely visit the area again, it will not be in this property. For a holiday property, it just wasn’t for us, due to a number of issues which have been passed on to Sykes and the owners.

- Mrs Evans, August 2018
“Very quirky cottage, in a brilliant position,not very good for people with disabilities because of steep stairs , next to pub ( almost on their car park) food there is good.”

Out of the door and you are on the canal bank.lovely canal boat trips or just sit and watch the others manageing the barges.great holiday but be wary of the steps.

- Mrs Stratford, June 2018
“Excellent cottage located in an area we love.”

Friendly owners & bottle of wine much appreciated. Only, small problem was none working gas fire. However this won't affect future hirers as the owner had it replaced as we were leaving. Central heating very efficient which meant it didn't make life uncomfortable. Pub next door had lovely friendly owners and excellent food. The quality of their steak pie isn't exaggerated ! Can recommend this let to anyone - particularly if you like canals. Easy access to Llangollen and other interesting places. Will be returning.

- Mr Briggs, March 2018
“It was a great place to stay”

The owners were very patient as we got seriously lost and mobile batteries on low. And very late as the Pub had shut. We were made very welcome by the owner and we had a very warm time in November. We hope to go there again very soon. Nothing to do with the Telford Inn literally next door where the Hosts were very friendly. Very relaxing place. And everything you need. The only traffic is the barges. Don't go sleepwalking as the canal is a few yards away from the front door.

- David W, September 2015
“BRILLIANT”

Lovely location and you can take dogs, Owners lovely and just next door to lovely pub, been a couple of times and would love to go back soon.

- Sheltiegirl35, June 2015
“Amazing”

The cottage, location and everything was just amazing, loved everything about it, the Telford Inn next door was so nice and the people could not have been more helpful, Food also fabulous. Quiet at nights and the Owners made the collection of keys so easy and was on hand if needed and so helpful.

- Sheltiegirl35, March 2015
“welcome break”

perfect weekend break with friends,ideal location and base,great little cottage,cannot fault it.added bonus,the owners left us a bottle of wine to start the wind down------ very nice

- Dave S, December 2014
“Fantastic place to stay.”

Phoned to arrange collection of keys and was told we could get in early and pick up the keys in the pub next door so we were able to drop off the luggage and get a nice cold cider to sit in the sun with as soon as we arrived. The owners popped in later with a bottle of wine which was a nice touch and checked that everything was ok. The cottage itself was lovely and cool even though the weather was the hottest few days of the year so made a nice place to retreat to when sitting watching the canal boats and walkers in this beautiful setting. The rooms in the cottage are all well equipped and comfortable, the shower is excellent with loads of power and kitchen contains everything you could imagine should you want to get cooking (but if you try the steak pie in the pub next door you wont want to bother cooking again). There are plenty of places to walk around the area direct from the front door although if you don't like heights the walk in the Chirk direction will get an extra mile or so added as you avoid the aqueduct which is the main feature of the area although its well worth walking over it for the view alone. Although the cottage is next to a pub (well its virtually in the beer garden) there is no noise at all that can be heard inside the cottage which makes the pub a bonus as you can have food or drink whenever you want to relax, and if the beer gardens full its quite nice to step into your own garden and sit at your own table and chairs as the world passes by. Would I go back here.......I'm thinking of booking it next year as well.
