    Beautiful property, every room has incredibly comfortable beds and each en suite was a joy to have. We loved the outside space with lots of areas to sit in the sun, the hot tub was very popular! Absolutely amazing primate location, but lots to visit and do within 30-60 minutes away! Highly recommend Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall and Oswestry for any shopping! The best walk is directly behind the property, with absolutely amazing views at the top of the mountain! (Tough, particularly in the what but well worth it!)

  • "Lovely property, so peaceful and beautiful views."

    Owners were very accommodating. Beds were very comfortable and lovely that all rooms had en- suite bathrooms. Kitchen had everything you need to cook for 6. The only negative is the living room T.V is very small making it hard to see if sitting in certain spots and the settees are very low, but both manageable. Also the garden isn't totally secure for the bigger dog our dog got out onto the neighbouring field a few times.

    All 3 bedrooms are ensuite which was definitely a bonus. Everything there that you would need for cooking although the nearest supermarket is 15 minutes away. If you like your holidays in a beautiful rural setting then I would definitely recommend. And if you got the legs and energy walk up the hill behind the barn for amazing views for miles.

  • "2 couples , 2 dogs and we really enjoyed our peaceful post xmas and new year break."

    Easy check in with great comms. Felt at home as soon as we walked through the front door. Lovely cozy converted barn with a log burner gave it a nice cottage feel but spacious at the same time. Didn't feel like we were under each others feet, Each bedroom had a nice modern en suite bathroom. Beds comfy with extra pillows if needed. Kitted out well with everything you'd need for a weeks holiday. Decorated to very high standard. Kitchen could do with more food storage and a decent sharp cutting/cooking knife. Hot tub was huge. We've used many hot tubs in holiday homes and this is by far the best - very impressive .Nice and private with fantastic views. Only gripe is there could be more lighting walking to the hot tub in the dark , and the decking can get very slippy when wet. Dogs loved the outdoor space but felt our dog being a smaller dog could of got out so we had to watch him all the time. Not a complaint but it isn't secure for a small dog , maybe some chicken wire at the bottom of the front and back gate would help. It did make us a bit on edge with it being onto the road and obviously fields. Beautiful walks on your door step. Gryn Moelfre mountain literally at the rear the property, great leg burn (my other half made it look so easy) Trig at the top to add to our list . the views were amazing and well worth the climb. Nearest pub is 1.9 miles away - The Wynnstay Inn. Took about 40 minutes to walk down a quite country lane. Lovely warm welcome from staff & locals . Didn't eat there so cant comment. Pictures really don't do this place justice as its a lot nicer in the flesh. Considering re booking for the summer so can take advantage of the lovely out door space. Thank you for welcoming us at your beautiful barn " Plas Moelfre Hall Barns" a great start to 2024.

  • "We would definitely recommend staying here."

    It’s nicely furnished, cosy, and spacious; our party included four adults, two dogs and a toddler but we didn’t feel cramped. The garden is large and ideal for dogs/kids to run around in, and has several different seating areas to appreciate the extensive stunning views. There were lovely Welsh cakes and eggs provided on arrival, and brew kit, as well as thoughtful features like dog bowls/treats, and double towels for showering and hot tub use. We arrived with some basics for tea and planned to do a bigger shop the following day; that worked well as it’s a bit of a drive to the nearest shop- not a complaint, as the peace and tranquility of the local area was just what we wanted. There are lots of outdoor activities within a 30 min drive; our favourites were Lake Vyrnwy and the National Ironworks Centre / Sculpture trail. We have already recommended the barns to our friends and we’d love to come back and explore the area at different times of the year ourselves. Thanks so much for a perfect stay.

  • "We absolutely loved staying at the property."

    It was very clean. The garden was fully enclosed for our dog. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. We booked her based on its location and the hot tub and games room. Every box ticked :). However the only point that sadly spoiled our holiday was the last night when the adjoining fields around the property were suddenly busy with, what we assume was farmers, driving up the tracks where sheep were to the top of the hill before sounding horns and releasing dogs to chase foxes and the sound of shotguns. This was so upsetting as we believed fox hunting was banned. it distressed us and the neighbouring cottage and ours and their dogs. When it was finally over the vehicles returned to the road with the occupants stating that the fox had not been killed, just been made lame to die painfully over time. This is just sick and should be banned.

    Spotlessly clean with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Hot tub was also spotlessly clean (emptied after every stay) & was lovely especially at night with the lights . Such a peaceful location , with access to the hills & walks around the area. Games room also an added bonus. Only slight negative was that although dog friendly, and fenced, our Labrador was always getting out under the fence - which was not a problem as the area was quiet , but there were sheep in the nearby field which could pose an issue with some dogs. We loved the stay & would definitely book again next year. Diolch Lowri for the welcome in your amazing place !

  • "Rhianwen is a beautiful barn conversion in a stunning rural setting."

    The owners are very attentive and answered all queries we had very quickly. We were a family of 6 and 1 member of our family had a disability. The barn access catered for disabled users and two of the bedrooms. The bedroom with wet room could do with a grab rail in the shower and a dressing table for sitting whilst getting ready. The owner brought down a high backed chair to add to the lounge seating for my Mum and I was very thankful as the sofas are very low. The beds are super comfy and all of us agreed on this. We had a few issues with mice being noisy at night in the attic but the owners acted upon this the very next day. The hot tub is a bonus but our girls were disappointed by the games room as it's more like a garage and they didn't feel comfortable spending time in it but the men of the family enjoyed a game of darts. Overall, I would highly recommend the barn as we had a very relaxing break.

  • "We had a lovely weekend at Rhianwen , the barn far exceeded our expectations."

    Spotlessly clean , very well equipped with lovely bedding and fluffy towels. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very spacious with very comfortable beds , powerful showers and light up make up mirrors in bathrooms. It was great to have separate towels provided for hot tub use. I met the owners by chance on my arrival and they were very friendly and helpful . Farmer Jack drove past us a few times in his Land Rover and always had a wave and a quick word . It was a lovely touch to have milk , welsh cakes and fresh local eggs waiting for us. The under floor heating kept the whole place very cosy and warm though we did also light the log burner ... logs and firelighters were also provided. The hot tub was very large and easily seated six of us. We also used the games room one evening for table tennis and darts. There are lots of scenic walks nearby and also on the farm owners land .. full details are provided in a guest handbook. This is a beautiful barn conversion which I would thoroughly recommend .

  • "Enjoyed a fabulous and relaxing week at Moelfre Hall Barns."

    The family have converted a wonderful and well equipped barn to meet everyone's needs. My husband really enjoyed his regular chats with Famer Jack and we would definitely return for this reason only. One suggestion would be to leave bags of logs for the fire either at the side of the barn or in the games room to use and then leave the money at the end of the stay. Overall we have a great stay and would definitely return.

  • "Lovely people and lovely welcome."

    The cottage was beautifully presented and went beyond our expectations. The area was stunningly beautiful and the access allowed on the estate was wonderful. The only slight niggle for us, as dog owners, was that it was really suitable for pets as the garden was not secure. We love our dog and knowing that we could not allow him out of the cottage on his own was a constant worry.

  • "Stunning location and sympathetic renovation of an old farm building, that has been transformed to high specification holiday home."

    Central for touring round a picturesque and interesting part of Wales, that's if you can leave the 300 acres of land that is at your disposal ! To sum our holiday up, we didn't want to come home.

    The barn is just so peaceful and relaxing and the hot tub was just a great way to end the day. The barn is exactly as described and has everything you will need for your stay. The hosts were really welcoming and friendly and we would definitely go again if it's not fully booked. This place will book up really quickly!

  • "We had such a fantastic time at Rhianwen we were sad to leave."

    The property has been beautifully renovated and had everything you would want and more. The owners are very kind and thoughful and genuinely care about their guests. We've had some lovely summer walks up the many mountains and up to the top of a waterfall with the whole family and our dogs. The hot tub was a favourite with everyone and even better at night with all the lights off, we enjoyed watching many shooting stars, it was magical. Would love to return if it's not fully booked as I know this will be a very popular cottage!
