• "Sorry for the delay in writing a review!"

  We had a wonderful time. Lynn and Guy were excellent hosts: warm, friendly, and helpful. Place was spotlessly clean, and everything you could possibly need, and more. We were lucky to have had a couple of unique experiences during our stay! We had a massive thunderstorm with a huge bang overhead (very exciting!) which knocked the power and heating off temporarily - nobody’s fault! But the owners sorted it out immediately! And we also saw the northern lights! The house is really in ‘the middle of nowhere’ - not a single noise, nestled within a protected almost cozy valley, which is fantastic if all you want to see are the sheep and the garden wildlife (variety of tits, squirrels, magpies and many more). We sat watching the wildlife for hours, with large French garden doors open. It was so quiet at night, we heard lots of unfamiliar rustling, animal noises we had never heard in our lives before, including a woodpecker. The house has a magical feel to it. We have stayed in many Welsh rural cottages, but this one felt comfortably familiar as if we had always lived there! Our only disappointment is that it is booked for a long time ahead! Not a surprise however, but we will definitely book again once there is a space! Alison & Andy xx

  Wonderful feedback. Thank you Property Owner

  The cottage as everything you need and the beds OMG amazing! Listening to the stream as you have a glass of wine.. Perfect.. If you want a quiet relaxing cottage then you won't be disappointed. There is wonderful pub down the road at Llanarmon, the food is lush.. The walks and the places to visit are only a short drive away if you want days out. A wonderful thank you to Lynn and Guy

  We found the house to be comfortable, cozy and met all our needs. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was a good size.

• "Our stay at Pen Y Bont exceeded all of our expectations."

  The cottage is beautifully set. I was able, each morning, to sit on a couch looking out through a glass wall over the patio to a stream and beyond that to a hill and watch birds coming to feed, squirrels scurrying around, a hare bouncing through the field and sheep and lambs grazing. Then during the rest of the day, there are numerous walks, heritage railways, former mines and castles to explore or one can sit at the patio table and eat and drink. The cottage is incredibly well equipped and generously proportioned. We were a party of three adults and there was never a feeling of being 'on top of one' another. The final bit of praise I have is for the owners, Lynn and Guy. They were so welcoming and generous (they ended up taking our shopping delivery in and putting the refrigerated and frozen food away for nus since we were running late) and, at the same time, we never felt that our privacy was intruded upon. In fact, quite to the contrary.

  Oh my goodness. What extremely kind feedback. We are so pleased that you all enjoyed your stay & hope to welcome you back again. Thank you Property Owner

• "We had the best week ever at Pen Y Bont."

  The cottage is spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped with amazing views across the valley from the 360 degree view window with an abundance of wildlife and walks from the doorstep. It's so relaxing and a real get away from it all spot, with loads to do and see in the surrounding areas, to then return to the cottage to chill and watch the wildlife. We were lucky to experience the lamb and daffodil season which was a big plus for us. The local pubs are terrific - friendly serving amazing food. I recommend The Hand at Llanarmon - the best and tastiest Sunday lunch we've ever had. I could go on and on, but go experience it for yourself and you will see what I mean! Thank you Lynn and Guy for a warm welcome and much appreciated welcome pack, we can't wait to return!

• "We had another amazing week at Pen y Bont."

  We were here 2 years ago and had another hot week this year. It was lovely to have good weather but the cottage is exceptional. It is very peaceful and away from it all. The high land around it makes phone reception non existent but it is so quiet and the wildlife is a delight. From the birds in the garden, we had a pheasant wandering around in the evening with his family, and often buzzards could be seen circling the valley. The stream running through the garden was so relaxing in the evening with a nice glass of wine. Most days we took our hound for a walk up the hill past the farm on the track through an old quarry. You need to be aware that there are sheep in this area so a long lead is a good idea unless you have an exceptionally well trained dog. We only went out once for a meal and that was to The Hand hotel which is very popular locally. The meal there was one of the best we have had and there was definitely service with a smile and very dog friendly. We were made very welcome when we first arrived with milk, butter, welsh cakes and fresh farm eggs from the hens. Altogether a very relaxing break and Lynn and Guy are a most welcoming and helpful couple.

  The only thing that wasn’t quite the same was taken from a few of the reviews...which say the garden was great for dogs as it was fully enclosed. The cottage description hadn’t said that so it’s not the owners fault but just to point out that the stream isn’t enclosed so once in the stream, the dog can just walk along it and put onto the farm road. The rest of the garden is fully fenced but we couldn’t leave our golden retriever out in the garden without constant supervision as he would just walk alongside the stream and out! Saying that, the cottage, garden and surroundings were just so super relaxing and stunningly peaceful that the enclosed garden thing didn’t matter really. Everything was well catered for and really clean and there was enough broad band to keep our teen son happy! Would definitely recommend Pen Y Bont for a rural getaway.

  It is simply gorgeous, so warm, inviting and tranquil. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with lots of walks. The little stream just running through the garden and by the side of the house just adds to the peaceful beauty of the place. To sit outside (in a jacket - it was February after all) having my breakfast with the noise of almost nothing other than the stream is such a lovely way to start your day. Had a great week playing games with the kids, watching the winter olympics and taking the dog on long walks. The outside hose and boot room are perfect for giving the dog a wash down and being able to dry him off in the boot room separate from the rest of the house.

• "Location was out of reach for us, in a very good way, it was off the beaten track, the standard of accommodation was extremely well finished and to a very high standard."

  The patron's, Linda and Guy were only a stones throw away if we had had any concerns, there is only one thing that we would change and that was the comfort of the lounge area seating, it was very hard, small and we needed to rest up on this Holiday, the stream running alongside the cottage was a thrill for our King Charles Cavalier Broghan, he had so much fun, we all had a great time on some of the popular walks nearby.

• "A beautifully renovated cottage in a lovely area."

  The cottage is well planned to cater for people with dogs, muddy boots and wet coats but also to make the most of the sunshine and views.

• "The cottage and location were both excellent, plenty of space inside and out and we had the use of the owner's fields to exercise our dog."

  Couldn't have wished for more! If you have a small dog then the garden is more than sufficient for exercise as the size of it is really quite deceiving and fully enclosed, if your dog likes water they'll be on cloud 9 :) Our boxer adored it and spent time playing in the stream in the garden and also in the river that runs through the fields. We had a very relaxing week and would like to return, the dog is already counting down the days til his next holiday! The owner Lynn is very friendly and made us feel welcome, with lots of little touches throughout the property. We arrived to find some afternoon tea laid out, fresh towels and all the little things like shower gel, kitchen roll etc that you tend to forget provided for us. If you're considering this property, just get it booked, you won't regret it!

• "We had a fantastic break at Pen y Bont, clean, comfortable and stylish cottage."

  Very quiet picturesque location with lots of walks from the door which he dog particularly enjoyed. Loads of attractions within a short distance, would recommend Chirk Castle, Erddig and Llangollen Canal.

• "This cottage is of a very high standard and the owners were very accommodating and friendly."

  I was looking for a cottage in Snowdonia but due to last minute booking there was nothing available. This cottage is roughly 1h drive from Snowdonia but the quality of the accommodation and surroundings easily made up for the additional travel time. Everything was very clean and the cottage has everything you could possibly need.

• "The house is quite simply idyllic."

  The house itself is immaculately clean and well maitained, with lovely little like the herb garden, a little stream that run through the back garden with such a peaceful sound to the floor to ceiling glass wall in the kitchen giving you views out to the beautiful garden and surrounding countryside. The cottage is out from the village but is in easy driving distance of several little towns and villages. There are several walks that can be taken from the cottage around the surrounding fields and hills. We will definately be coming back and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
