"Booking was very straight forward."
Property was as described, clean and comfortable with an effective central heating system. Only problem was TV in bedroom could not get Freeview channels. Pub staff very friendly and plenty of areas close by for dog walks. Have already booked again for later in the year.

"We loved this property."
We chose it because of its location by the canal. It is also right next to the top of the aquaduct. The house was a quirky layout which added to its charm. The beds were super comfy. The owners left us a bottle of wine on arrival which was a lovely welcome. There is a pub literally next door which does great food. Parking was in the pub car park. Once we sussed out the locks on the pub gates we had no issues getting in and out during times that the pub was closed. There was also a lovely chapel tea room over the road which also did great food. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would recommend it to anyone.

"We chose the cottage because of it's location adjacent to the canal as we were planning a canal walking holiday."
It was perfect for that purpose. However, there was a lack of basic information (wi-fi passwords, refuse arrangements etc.) and no apparent recycling opportunities which were minus points. But generally very satisfied.

"Fabulous place to stay."
The Aguaduct is amazing and a lovely walk through to Llangollen all on your doorstop and a pub which was very quiet and not disruptive but served good food and of course beer. Idicic location.

"A lovely, old former canal toll cottage."
Fully equipped and comfortable. Stunning views of the canal and a very short walk to the viaduct.
Furnishings could be a little better especially bedding. Duvet didn’t fit the bed and duvet cover didn’t fit the duvet and was ripped.
Overall, a homely cottage with a lovely pub next door with delicious food.
Not really suitable for dogs as there is a gate straight on to the canal path that belongs to the pub. The gate is left open from 12pm until the pub closes. We had to wedge a piece of fencing just outside the front door to keep our dog enclosed. No pet food bowls either so not very pet friendly.
Overall, we had a lovely stay but sitting in the garden feels like you are sat in the pub beer garden which is fine mostly unless you just want some fresh air and quiet time.
We would stay again for the location.

"Cottage is in a prime location, there was so much to do around the area, we stayed for 4 nights and had so many local activities to do, having the pub next door was ideal, because they serve great food, so we had no need to cook ourselves ."
It was a lovely break and would definitely go back

"We love the scotch hall cottage it is a gorgeous cottage."
The only thing negative is you have to watch your head on the low ceilings in the bedrooms, but that is shown on the listing. The owners even came round to ensure everything was ok and to bring oven gloves that the cleaner had forgotten to leave. Owners left a bottle of wine on the kitchen as a welcome gift which was very thoughtful. Will definitely be back again.

"The path/yard wasn’t enclosed meaning children and dogs were not safe as we were next to canal."
There was an old gate laid down which we tried to wedge but didn’t work.
The 2 single bedded room had a very low ceiling arch and number of times we bumped our head really badly and it needs a warning sign there. Also really difficult to seat six people at the dining table.

"We had a lovely weeks stay and the weather was great, the cottage is in a fabulous location and so many walks to go on."
Of course the pub was closed but the owners were very friendly and loved our dog Digby. The cottage was nice and warm as the nights were chilly, and we slept really well the bed was very comfortable. We will definatly return in the future, and the wine was very welcoming. Thankyou for a fab holiday.

"Spotlessly clean, and Coronavirus safe."
The owner has gone overboard to make the cottage safe including the purchase of a fogger machine to spray the whole cottage after cleaning between guests, special arrangements for the bedding, towels etc and the removal of ornaments, books etc. Only one drawback is the garden is not dog safe. It needs a gate between the pub entrance from the wharf and the private garden. Our little dog escaped once onto the canal wharf. However, this has not put us off as we have been to this cottage several times and will be booking again. Brilliant location, full of interest.

"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'

"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 !

"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.

"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.
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. Property Owner

"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.
