• "Clear communication with owner."

  Great house. Suited our needs. Clean and welcoming. Plenty of space for our family of 10. Living room and snooker room are fully separate and not part of the open plan. So able to take time out to chill if needed. Lovely pool and gardens. Will definitely be back. Thanks

• "We had a fabulous break at LLYS OFFA, the house is homely comfortable and well equipped."

  The swimming pool was a huge success as the children were in it every day. The gardens are well maintained, but whilst our large dog had no desire to get through any gaps it might be a consideration for other guests with smaller ones. Other comments have mentioned that maybe some of the furniture is dated but as its all comfortable it really was not an issue The owner sends detailed instructions prior to arrival which are useful in navigating around this big house and advice for using the facilities. We would definitely book this property again and hope to return soon There are some lovely places to visit such as Alyn Waters Country Park and Erddig National Trust Property all within a 10 mile radius of the house

• "Lovely property in a peaceful location."

  We were about 10 or 15 minutes from Llangollen. Plenty of garden for our little dog to run around in. The older kids took a walk through the stream with the wellies that were provided. The swimming pool was clean and great fun. The snooker table was great as well as the other board games that was provided. Lots of little extras incase you forgot (much appreciated) such as hand wash in each bathroom, towels for each bedroom, tea towels, a few dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid. There was a swimming pool inflatable and noodles. Had a great family break. We will be back!

  Snooker table and swimming pool were a welcomed added addition. If we lived a bit closer we would definitely use this venue more often.

  The out door pool and the snooker table made all the difference. The property size is perfect for large families. However, the general appearance and decor could do with updating. The kitchen facilities were very good and instructions very clear. All guest commented how comfy the beds were. There was wasp nest on the side of the house and the owner dealt with it straight away. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

• "This property was not as advertised in the pictures when booked they have since been updated after a complaint."

  The property had many faults, lights hanging off walls, door handles hanging on for dear life, dirty and ripped furniture, the outside area needed some tlc. And the floor boards were all chip or raised making them a danger to children or someone with mobility issues as a trip hazard. The owner thought our complaints were laughable and knew about all the issues with the property for several years doing nothing about them, but didnt think any problems with letting people stay. The owner claimed to be contactable during our stay, we asked for a light bulb to be changed a simple request as not working and never heard back from him. Be warned you wont receive your good housekeeping bond back within a week this was delayed and then excuses made. Skyes have investigated all the issues raised and have said they are now rectified. Skyes have been amazing throughout keeping us informed would recommend them for any holidays but i wouldnt recommend this property.

• "We had an absolutely fabulous stay at Llys Offa for my husbands surprise 65th birthday."

  As a family of snooker players this property was perfect everybody enjoyed spending hours playing the game. The property is large so even though there was 10 of us we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. The house is in a perfect location, ideal for exploring Chester ( we went to the Christmas market) or for going on long walks in some beautiful countryside. We didn’t use the swimming pool because of the freezing temperatures but it looked great for a summer holiday. The owner had put up Christmas lights outside and a tree indoors which was really lovely and made it very festive. Will definitely book again sometime; great place for a large group of family and friends.

  The owner gave us lots of tips of places to go, walks and sites to see. There are National Trust places nearby also and not too far to drive to the sea. The snooker table and swimming pool were used every day (although we did have to top up the pool from time to time). Would definitely book this amazing property again. Thanks

• "Llys Offa is a beautiful house in attractive grounds which accommodated our family of 11, in comfortable rooms throughout."

  The kitchen was massively well equipped ( although requiring some order in the storage of utensils, glasses etc) making for easy cooking, and the dining room enabled the meals to be served easily to the whole family. The snooker room and pool kept everyone happily occupied on site and the location was very convenient for local shops, buses and the railway station - 4 minutes in the car to the supermarket and station. We had a minor problem with the television, but Julian, the caretaker helped within a half hour of our contacting him, and the owner was very helpful in resolving the problem. I would highly recommend Llys Offa to any multi- generational family.

• "We had a wonderful family holiday ay Llys Offa."

  The house is very comfortable and the swimming pool and snooker table were well used. The kitchen is really well stocked with cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils, which isn't always the case in a holiday let. There is a lot to do in the area and we would particularly recommend a walk hrough the woods opposite the property and The Boat at Erbistock for a fabulous meal. Local people were very friendly and helpful. Altogether a great, relaxing holiday.

• "The property was very comfortable with good facilities that enabled the family to have a good holiday."

  The kitchen was well stocked but you had to search cupboards for utensils etc as there was no order as to where things were kept. The oven worked well but is in need of a good clean. When we did have a problem with the hot water and contacted the caretaker, he was at the house sorting it out within 5 minutes an amazingly good response. The swimming pool was great and used throughout the week. It would have been nice to have had more information about the local area, such as walks and facilities. The internet was very good. The snooker table was in constant use a great leisure facility. Our dog and family enjoyed the large garden area. Overall I feel I can recommend the property for family get together, just the few points I raised stopped me highly recommending the property..

  We required a house that could cater for our elderly grandmother plus 3 babies. This house did everything. The downstairs bedrooms and bathroom were ever so helpful. There is lots of space to spread out and allow everyone what they need. The games room was a hit! We didn’t use the pool but it appeared clean and tidy. The kitchen was well equipped. The instructions for accessing the property were detailed and easy to follow. It meant we could all arrive separately but still be able to get in. The location is beautiful. Lots of walking around the local area and although lovely in November, it would be brilliant as a summer location. We’d definitely visit again.

• "The house was really great, so much space for our family of nine, comfy beds and the pool was great - warn enough to spend a decent amount of time in but strong smell of chlorine, however if you leave the door open for a bit it subsides."

  Sauna was broken for the first half of our stay but they got it fixed while we were there and it was really good - enough room for three people at a squeeze (I had to coordinate with the handyman a few days). Would stay again as the location is great for tourist attractions like the aqueduct and Chester zoo. Be aware that the return of the housekeeping bond was over a week and a half late from the owner despite chasing a few times (you pay the owner directly, not through Sykes). Sykes had said they would reimburse us if it was late but then I could never get through to them on the phone!

  Sky TV in several rooms, a full size snooker table, a piano and a heated pool are brilliant extras. The listing on Sykes does show the swimming pool with a retractable roof which the owners don’t allow so I think this should be corrected.
