“Linda and Ian are great hosts and made us feel very welcome, particularly important in my partner's case as she is handicapped.”

Great place to unwind yet within easy reach of supermarket etc, sadly the local pub is no more however. Very comfortable accommodation and a well equipped kitchen, all very clean. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.

“Lovely cottage, just the ticket for r&r weekend.”

Great location for getting out and about too. Mr & Mrs Robert's so friendly and helpful. Loved waking up to the chickens, geese & horses.

The family are very friendly, the cottage is peaceful and relaxing, it’s all a bit dated and would benefit from an update, but all still working, No dishwasher as described, good wifi and heating,

“Mr & Mrs Roberts where very friendly and welcoming.”

Cottage was perfect for what we needed. Lovely to wake up and see the chickens running around. The Cross Keys pub was only a short walk down the road , locals and landlord where very friendly. Ruthin town was full of history. Will definitely be staying again. Highly recommended .

“The cottage we stayed in was rather dirty.”

There were dusty items within the living room. The rug was stained and dirty so we had to roll it up as it was horrible to look at. There were dead bug marks on the wall. The toilet seat was broken. There was a hole in the floor that had been covered by carpet just by the kitchen door nearly twisting my ankle on numerous occasions. There was no safe place to allow the dog to wonder outside without a lead. There were bags of rubbish left outside for 5 days of our stay with flies around it. There was also washing left just by these bags of rubbish on the rotary line for the entire holiday (the same washing come rain or shine) I do have photos showing all of these. In my opinion they need to stop people visiting this cottage until much needed clean up work and diy is completed to make it a much cleaner and safer place to stay.

- Mrs Cooke, August 2018

I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay in our cottage. I was away on holiday this week and used a contract cleaning company, who I have taken up your issues with and I will not be using again. It is my policy not to have dogs loose on our property as we have various livestock, and this is for the safety of your animals also. I am happy for guests to walk dogs on a lead through the sheep. I organise annual repair work/decoration over the winter months as this is the only time I can get into the cottage other than to clean & can organise tradesmen, other than emergency repairs. The toilet seat is now replaced, I was unaware of this before. The floor is not covered up and hardly moves but we will investigate further. Sykes owner relations

“We don't think you described the cottage well enough - it was lovely.”

We loved the daily visits from the cockerel and his hens and the free eggs.

- Mrs Wright, June 2018
Mrs Eastwood May 2018

“The cottage is very compact, comfortable and warm.”

We received a welcome half dozen lovely fresh eggs from the hens in the field above. Mrs Roberts was very helpful. We only had a short stay over the weekend but would certainly stay there again.

“Nice welcome from owners.”

Cleanliness wasn't much sadly. Some rooms wasn't cleaned. A mop would've been handy to clean the kitchen floor as outside was muddy. Bought sink cleaning equipment. Location was pretty good. Animals where unique and good to see. Area was beautiful. Would reconsider the place again. Overall would describe the place as cute, comfortable and great for a wind down.

“A lovely cosy place to stay, in a wonderful area.”

Everyone so friendly, and made us so welcome, including the dog. Weather could have been better, but still enjoyed the scenery and food in this area of North Wales. Mr. & Mrs. Roberts made us very welcome, and we always there to help when needed. (had flat tyre on car and Lynda made one phone call, and within an hour job done, I call that service.) Thanks too all for making it such a pleasant stay. Peter

Mr Niemiec August 2017

“Had a great week there.”

The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. Nice comfortable cottage within easy reach of lots of places. Even on a rainy day you can sit in the cottage and watch birds, rabbits, squirrels and even the chickens outside. We are looking to going again next year.

- Mr Niemiec, August 2017
Mrs Bell September 2016

“A lovely comfy home away from home owned by very nice helpful people in a lovely location, perfect for exploring beautiful north Wales.”

Our only complaint was that we had to leave! We would recommend this cottage to any couple wanting a relaxing holiday or an energetic walking holiday. We had chickens knocking on the door, sheep in the field behind the cottage and horses in the field next to us. My husband spent a very pleasant couple of hours catching fish in the owner's pond, with geese and ducks around him.

“Wonderful oasis of calm”

After a stressful spell at work we spent a week recuperating in this lovely cottage. Mrs Roberts and her family went out of their way to be warm and friendly - it was more like spending a week with old friends. For animal lovers this is a delight with hens and a cockerel roaming - horses in the fields, rabbits running around. After chatting about the animals I was even lucky enough to be taken out on Linda's pony a trap around the local lanes. I highly recomment this clean peaceful home and will definately be back. Kath

- Kath H, July 2016

We are so pleased that you had the relaxing week you had hoped for at Tyn Y Minffordd, thank you for taking the time to tell us about it. Being surrounded by all the animals sounds wonderful, especially the horses! We certainly hope you return the next time you need to relax and unwind. Sykes owner relations
Mr Armstrong October 2015

“A lovely little converted cottage close to owners property.”

Perfect for two people. The owners are very friendly but not intrusive. There are lots of excellent walks in area. The whole of North Wales is opened up from here.

- Mr Armstrong, October 2015
Mrs Gil August 2015

“There was a relaxed atmosphere, and the owners were welcoming, friendly and helpful.”

An excellent cottage for people who like animals and appreciate simple country life. The cottage is simply perfect for a couple who want to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscape of Wales.

- Mrs Gil, August 2015
Mr Miller June 2015

“This is a lovely comfortable single story cottage set in stunning tranquil surroundings just outside the town of Ruthin in North Wales.”

The owners are friendly people and are extremely helpful. The cottage has the benefit of views of the Clwydian mountains which are just a few miles away. There is easy access to the town of Ruthin and the busy market town of Mold. For the keen angler there are several course and fly fisheries within easy reach of Ruthin and there is a small pond with golden rudd, perch and roach just a short walk from the cottage within the grounds and gardens. A perfect getaway for anyone who loves the beauty of North Wales. Highly recommended.

“excellent cottage”

The cottage was excellent and situated in a good place for travelling around North Wales. Mr and Mrs Roberts went out of their way to help our stay in the cottage easier as my wife has a walking disability and for that we are very grateful. If we do go back to North Wales again we will try and book the cottage again.

“Lovely Little Cottage”

Just returned from a weeks stay at Tyn Y Minffordd and have to say had a really lovely time. The accommodation is actually on the same property as the owners so you do feel you're trespassing a little bit but the family are lovely and left us to our own devises whilst still being approachable if we needed anything. The cottage is small and simple but perfectly adequate for what we needed, there is a fully fitted kitchen with oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge a freezer, a bathroom with shower cubicle (hot water aplenty) a double bedroom and living room with TV and DVD player. The property is a 20 minute stroll into Ruthin, which we did a few times to go for dinner or a few drinks and drivable distance to almost all of North Wales, Wrexham, Chester etc The only few negatives i would say that prevented a 5 star would be there are some areas inside that are a little tired and couple do with either a lick of paint or replacing (the shower screen for example is a little wonky) i also think that the living room could do with a more comfy sofa (a corner sofa would be ideal) as although there is a chair and 'sofa' in there, it feels very much like conservatory furniture rather than a nice comfy sofa to sink into after a long day walking. It is also advertised as coming with wifi via a cable but we couldn't find it - saying that, we didn't ask, and it wasn't an issue! All in all though we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone!

About the location

RUTHIN

Llangollen 12 miles; Bala 18.5 miles; Chester 25 miles; Betws-y-Coed 30 miles.

The hilltop town of Ruthin lies to the north of Llangollen via the breathtaking Horseshoe Pass. The town is picturesque with attractive half-timbered buildings, mainly clustered around St Peter’s Square. There are many interesting shops and buildings, whilst the Nant Clwyd House (the oldest timber frame in Wales), Ruthin Gaol and Ruthin Craft Centre, which houses work by internationally recognised artists and craftspeople, are also worth a visit. Beautiful countryside is on Ruthin’s doorstep with Lake Brenig, Moel Famau Country Park and Clocaenog Forest close by. Further afield, but still within easy touring distance, are the coast, Snowdonia National Park and historic Chester.
