"We have had a lovely week staying at The Brambles."
The bungalow is very spacious, clean and comfortable and Zarina, the owner, welcomed us warmly. It's a very peaceful location, off the beaten track, but is central for touring round to local National Trust properties, Llangollen for the Horseshoe Falls and viaduct, and Chester itself for sightseeing or shopping. We would certainly recommend it.

"We had a lovely stay at The Brambles."
Facilities there covered what you needed, providing a nice cosy stay. It was also cool for the dogs, as they enjoyed regular countryside walks, plus there's also 2 large private fields to use. Numerous birds visited the garden each day.
It was nice to be in a quiet location, with no traffic noise. The owner was fantastic and very polite when me met her.
We'll definitely be back.

"This is a beautiful little cottage."
Perfect in every way. We’ve stayed at dog friendly cottages before, that have struggled to meet this criteria, so I’m always dubious, but this cottage is excellent. With an enclosed secure space, with outside hose and tap.
Off road parking is a must for us and this has it.
The cottage is a home from home, clean and with everything you need,
The area is perfectly situated for travelling to various destinations and Llangollen is a must.

"The Brambles is a lovely clean cottage."
I’ll get the negative point out of the way by saying the settee and two chairs in the living area are very uncomfortable and need replacing. The rest of the property is amazing. Very comfortable bed, clean and spacious bathroom and the kitchen/diner living area has lovely views of the countryside. Everything is there that you’ll need to enjoy your stay. Would definitely return.

"Beautiful place, clean and bright."
Lovely helpful owners. One of the best places we have stayed in. We would wholly recommend Bramble Cottage. Lots of lovely places to visit including Llangollen, and other places along the canal. Beautiful countryside. Very friendly. To see the Pontyscyllte Aquaduct at Trevor is a must. We have been over it several times on a canal boat, but is really worth a look at from walking over.

Although out in the countryside everything was in easy reach by a short car ride. Ideal for exploring the Welsh countryside and within easy access of Chester and surrounding countryside.
The peace and tranquillity experienced enhanced our holiday. We could have easily stayed another week.
We will definitely stay again.

"This property looked good on the photographs but was still able to surprise, it was absolutely wonderful."
It is extremely well appointed in decor, furniture and appliances. There is plenty of parking off road and a nice little patio area. The owner was extremely pleasant and helpful without being intrusive. Common Wood/Is-y-coed is a lovely area close to the town of Wrexham and the villages of Bangor on Dee and Marchwiel. The common is large with very little vehicular traffic so our dog could roam free and expend some of his energy. Slightly further away is Chester but it is only 30 minutes drive. A car is a must because public transport is nonexistent. I would highly recommend this property and if there was anything negative to say it would be a very minor point that the top sheet on the double bed was to small for it.

"Our holiday commenced on 30th April and was a change of date holiday from the first Covid lockdown of 2020."
The Scottish, Welsh and English governments had just allowed cross border travel but in England and Wales restaurants, licensed premises and most visitor attractions were open for outdoor activities only. As my wife is disabled I emailed Sykes to enquire once more about date changes but the slight travel rule change meant Sykes were now looking for £109 more for the dates I was interested in. This sort of profiteering is shameless and in such difficult times for us all, completely unnecessary. We felt we were being forced into an almost use it or lose it situation or at best be required to pay considerably more for our holiday. Needless to say the weather was atrocious for almost all of our holiday and there was next to nothing to do locally. We had several glitches with the facilities within the cottage itself but the owner, Zarina, was most helpful and although not completely successful, she had each issue looked at very promptly indeed. I think you need to remember that however beautiful, a cottage is, it is only a base for a holiday and in current times you surely should be more proactive in ensuring that customers ability to have a decent holiday is paramount and not seek loopholes to increase holiday costs.
