  • "We had a wonderful break at the Farm House."

    Claire and Steve were excellent hosts and very welcoming. The Farm House was great and met all our needs. We really enjoyed being able to be involved with the Alpacas and feed and take them for a walk. Would thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay.

  • "Lovely owners who spent a lot of time with us making sure we were happy and showing us there farm."

    Many thanks for feedback we will speak to Sykes re listing and I am sure they will revert back to you . In meantime we do trust the family (including extra adult guest to booking whom arrived ) all enjoyed the time we devoted to enhancing your stay by the time spent with alpacas, herding, feeding meet and greet etc which all seemed to enjoy. This of course was not in listing and was additional “ to listing” and of course at no extra charge. Hope to see you again soon Property Owner

  • "We have just returned home from a fantastic stay here."

    Clare and Steve are the most amazing hosts. They even let us spend time with their wonderful Alpacas, feed them, and take them for a wonder. It was an awesome experience that I don’t think we would ever be able to get anywhere else and they are amazing animals. The accommodation was immaculate and well appointed throughout. All rooms had beautiful views and were very comfortable. We felt very well looked after by Clare and Steve and we look forward to returning again in the future. Thank you Clare and Steve we have had an amazing stay :-)

  • "We had a great time at the Colomendy Farmhouse."

    It has a really spacious, light, stylish and well-equipped family-sized kitchen/dining room. Having also the equivalent of two reception rooms (a cosy farmhouse style living room and a separate games room) is a bonus for people staying here with children or a larger group. When the weather turned cold and damp, it was lovely that the house (including the two bathrooms) warmed up well. The hosts were second to none in being welcoming, friendly and helpful and introduced us to their alpaca herd and the other 3 farm animals. We were smitten with the droll presence of the alpaca "girls" and "boys" just across the drive from the house. A peaceful and relaxing setting and a well-looked after accommodation with very good road access to North Wales, the Wirral and - when using the Metropolitan train network - also Liverpool.

    Many thanks for your kind words we hope to see you again Kind regards Clare and Steve Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful stay at the farm house."

    Received a warm welcome from Clare and some generous groceries to get us started. The property was peaceful and spotless with everything we needed. Comfy bed, soft towels and a lovely kitchen. Clare also went out of her way to provide an office chair at short notice when I had to work unexpectedly. The alpacas provide a lovely peaceful atmosphere and the kids enjoyed them. Note that there is no downstairs loo and a few flies make their way in but also that there are no farm smells which is a huge bonus. An iron and ironing board would’ve been good but I’m sure would be available upon request. Great location to explore north Wales and Liverpool. Would love to visit again.

    Many thanks for feedback Indeed ironing board and iron readily available as is tumble clothes dryer and large overflow fridge freezer. Welcome pack provided with groceries Down stairs loo not in property and not described in property Note. There are two bathrooms one en suite in three bedroom farm house . Listing accuracy will be discussed with Sykes properties as narrated by Sykes based on thorough inspection - Facilities as description which include no charge Alpaca trekking and interaction with Alpacas miniature shetlands and bill the goat to guests by arrangement.

    The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. They were also so helpful if we needed anything and my children loved chatting to them every day. My children also adored seeing the alpacas everyday and having a chance to feed them too. The farmhouse was well equipped and very comfortable.

    Beautiful cottage in ideal location for North Wales as well as city visits in Chester and Liverpool. The icing on the cake and the stars of the show (barring fantastic couple owners who couldn’t do enough) was the alpacas which we took for a walk/trek. Best place we’ve visited.

    It’s beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and the owner is lovely. The children had the best time, they didn’t want to leave. I’m surprised one didn’t try to sneak an alpaca or a goat into the car.

  • "We had a wonderful stay at the farm."

    Steve and Clare were extremely kind, generous and welcoming hosts. The house is super well equipped and had everything we needed to enjoy a lovely stay over Christmas and New Year. It was so nice to wake up to see the alpacas in the fields, and is a great place from which to explore the North Wales coast and Chester and the North West. Even the grumpy teenagers enjoyed themselves as there was plenty of space and games to keep them occupied on rainy evenings. I do hope we will be back to stay soon!
