• "Our second stay here."

  It’s just lovely and comfortable. We loved the walks and had the most restful, relaxing weeks. A bit of peace in a whirlwind world. Would highly recommend and would visit again. Thank you so much.

• "What a beautiful, charming cottage."

  We were impressed the minute we arrived. It was so bright clean and airy. Julie the host had thought about everything, leaving us a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine, although the cottage was lovely and toasty we had hot water bottles and slippers provided. My dogs loved the huge garden. A very enjoyable relaxing holiday. Thank you Julie

• "An absolutely fabulous cottage with everything that you could need to make your stay perfect."

  A great garden for the dogs to run round in and an ideal location for exploring the area. Add to that a host who went the extra mile to make our family get together outstanding and it is easy to see why people keep returning.

• "What a fabulous cottage."

  Julie tge owner has thought of everything you would want to make your stay very enjoyable. She even had slippers. A lovely touch weas tge welcome Wine & Chocolates. Garden was brilliant for the dogs. The grass had been cut too. Which is helpful when you have dogs to see there poops. I have been to other cottages and the grass had never been cut. Do need a car to get to doggy walks as you can't just walk from the cottage. We googled and there are great walks that are not too far. Overall a fab stay and would definitely recommend

• "A nicely decorated modern holiday rental, it has a large garden ideal for dogs and a well-equipped kitchen."

  After reading the review in May about several problems especially with the oil boiler in the twin bedroom I contacted Sykes as no information was provided to say these issues had been addressed by the Owners. Sykes confirm they contacted the Owners with our concerns. Other reviews encouraged us not to cancel the booking. On entering Commonwood Cottage the smell from the oil boiler was overwhelming. It was a very hot day so we opened windows and doors. During the night my Husband who is asthmatic developed a cough. The smell was lesser in the main bedroom and hall but still present. We tried unsuccessfully to sleep in the living room as we didn’t want this to affect his health further. After contacting the Owner the following morning we decided to vacate the property. An offer to come over was provided but we no longer wanted to be in this environment or have an anticipated serious disruption to our holiday.

  I can confirm that the boiler is less than 12 months old. It was serviced at end of May following the last mention of an oil smell, it was found to be fault free. I called the engineers to come & check the boiler again upon your departure, & they have confirmed it is working fine & could not detect a smell or fault of any kind. There is a carbon monoxide detector in the boiler room & this has not detected any issues either. I can assure you that every comment/feed back is heard & dealt with appropriately whether that be positive or negative to assure my guests have the best stay possible. We were sorry that you felt you had to leave the property early & that it spoilt your holiday. Property Owner

  The cottage is bright and modern inside, very comfortable and has washing machine and tumble dryer along with other facilities. The owner is very friendly and approachable too. A private secure setting, the dogs love the location as much as us.

  Large secure garden which our dog loved. Julie was on hand to deal with any issues you might encounter but gives you the privacy which has not always been the case in previous holiday lets we have had. There are not any real negatives but the option of a portable ramp for disabled guests or people with mobility issues would be a welcome addition. We will be booking the property again in the future

• "This place is our new favourite, it's just simply perfect for us."

  The cottage is very clean, lovely decor and finishing touches, the garden is more like a small paddock and our dogs absolutely loved it. We got to sit in that wonder garden quite alot, so lucky, so many birds, it was just blissful and peaceful. Your not overlooked in this property or garden so the privacy aspect of it was great, but the owners house was just behind if you needed her at all (which we didn't as we had zero problems). A great base or explore the surrounding area, lots of lovely dog walks and dog friendly pubs if you are taking your dogs. Thanks you for a wonderful stay, we have come home so relaxed and already planning our return visit.

• "Written instructions on using dishwasher & dryer would have helped, this is one of the reasons for a 9 out of 10 score, the other reason was the local pub/hotel was quite a walk on an unlit road, a bit of a dangerous walk at night given the speed of some of the traffic."

  Apart from the two reasons above, the cottage is lovely and owners really friendly, plus ideal for dogs!

• "When we turned up at the property and walked in, we were initially impressed."

  However the next morning after sleeping in the twin bedroom with the door closed ( on arrival this was open) there was an overwhelming smell of oil. When we opened the small door where a clothes rail is, we found the cause as the oil heating system is located here. We ended up putting towels at the bottom of this door to try and stop the smell. We had to keep the door open all the time even at night when we slept! This was not ideal as we had gone there with our friends. We then went to cook breakfast and the 2 frying pans were dirty and so was the cooker hob (I took photos of both) so had to clean these before we could do breakfast.The outdoor space while perfect for dogs as very secure the grass needed cutting! The owners grass area was in great condition. The outdoor furniture had seen better days and look’s like it has been left out all winter as was rusty and dirty with green mould and bird poo all over them and the table has a broken leg part that holds the glass top on. So we ended up washing these as best we could to be able to sit out. Luckily we took our own little barbecue’s as wouldn’t have used the brick built one there. Also while the wine and chocolates was a very nice touch and appreciated. We would have preferred for the host to have popped over to see if everything was ok. So I can’t comment on whether they were nice or not as we NEVER saw anyone our entire stay. We will not be returning because of these issues! Which is a real shame.

  Fabulous location and views, very clean and had everything you could need for a stay away from home. Whilst you do need to drive to all locations it is central to all of the tourist hotspots so not far to drive to any of them. A major bonus is the huge garden which my 2 greyhounds loved! If you go in autumn/winter or when its raining take extra dog towels as it is soft ground. Use of washing machine and tumble dryer though so not a problem if you forget! Highly recommend.

  The bottle of wine and box of chocolates was a nice touch! The garden really is as good as the other reviews say and made the holiday for us - it’s huge, fully secure and chicken wired across the fences and hedges so I didn’t have any concerns about our greyhound escaping. The property is in a decent location as it’s quiet as there’s very little passing traffic, but only a short drive to nice walks (Erddig was our fave) and supermarkets. There’s also a dog friendly pub at the end of the road. We’ve already booked to come back again next year which probably says enough about how much we all enjoyed our stay!

• "An absolutely beautiful stay!"

  The cottage is a home from home, incredibly well looked after and we'll thought out. It has everything you could possibly need and as gorgeous as it looks in the pictures, they do not do it justice! We were really lucky with the weather and managed to BBQ everyday, finding great produce at a couple of fairly local farm shops. Our dogs loved the garden and it was lovely to be able to relax knowing they were safe and the garden was secure. We didn't try walking them straight from the cottage but there were some really nice walks within about 10 miles drive. We tried Alyn waters, Moss Valley and Errdig. Errdig was by far the favourite! The other 2 were small and didn't take much time to walk around, having to force ourselves to get any sort of distance from them. Our dogs, all a little older (German shepherd 11, westie 10 and husky 9) still require a good walk and we struggled to get 3 miles of the the Alyn waters and Moss Valley. Errdig was great, loads of woodland, a river and bug open spaces. We loved it so much that we tried to extend our stay whilst we were there but unfortunately and understandable it was booked up! Looking forward to returning! All we can really day is thankyou, it was lovely.

  It has a lovely big, fenced garden which is a huge advantage for holiday makers like ourselves, who have dogs, but also very pleasant just to sit and relax in. The cottage itself felt very secure being within the owner's grounds accessed through electric gates at the entrance. Being able to park outside the front door of the cottage made it very convenient for ease of unloading and packing up. The cottage really does tick all the boxes and we had a very enjoyable stay visiting family in Chester and days out in North Wales.

There is plenty of space inside the cottage in the bedrooms, kitchen and dining area and in the living space watching the television and reading books while relaxing on 2 comfortable couches.

Looking out of the french doors it was superb to see many birds including a woodpecker and a hawk feeding from fat balls and smaller birds eating food that we put inside the bird containers on the fence. We found the location of the cottage is excellent just a few miles inside the Welsh Border and very easy to travel to villages in Snowdonia, coastal resort of Llandudno and the fabulous town of Conwy in Wales and in England it’s a real pleasure to visit places like Chester and Liverpool.

Real home from home with fabulous little homely touches like providing slippers, cosy hot water bottles, plenty of towels and tea towels. Even provisions (bin) for disposing of doggy waste!! Only one thing I would change, would be the ability to control the heating/hot water times, but, admittedly, it was very cold weather with gale force winds, rain, hail and snow whilst we were there!! I'm sure if we had asked, the owners would have obliged as they were very approachable, but we didn't feel it was a sufficient drawback to have any adverse affect on our holiday. Would most definitely go again, absolutely delighted with the property and congratulate the owners on a well kept, comfortable home.

  Everything was as stated in the online information, if not better, The laundry facilities were excellent, the kitchen had everything you could possible need and the furnishings were lovely. The two bedrooms were beautifully presented with extra little touches here and there. Excellent accommodation.

• "Our key requirements for a holiday home was that it was quiet, clean, comfy, had nice views and had internet access."

  This cottage met all of those requirements and went beyond our expecations. The internet worked well (but was a bit patchy depending on where you were in the building) and the cottage was located in a lovely quiet rural area. It was quiet even though it is set back just a few yards from a fairly well used road but on the other side of the cottage there is fab views of rolling countryside. My only gripe was that the water heater came on very early in the morning and was noisy and I did not take too kindly to be woken at 6:00 am on my holiday when the objective was to do lots of resting and sleeping! That said, the heating worked really well and we were warm and cosy at all times and had hot water. Other than the noisy boiler, the cottage was very good. It was very well equipped, clean and comfy. We barely left the cottage for the whole week we stayed there as it offered us everything we needed. I particularly liked the provision of slippers and hot water bottles. The owner lived next door and was helpful and reactive to any questions or requests we had. The welcome gift was a lovely gesture too. Sykes also helped make our trip a good one with their attentive and supportive communications, in particular Jennifer of the Customer Relations Team.

• "Nice accommodation, clean with nice touches like hot water bottles, slippers (as wooden floors)."

  Large secure garden was great for our two dogs. Plastic backed mattress cover not good, made bed very hot and uncomfortable. Did not appreciate a text at 10.15 Friday evening from owner 'reminding' us to be out by 10am! We are well aware of the booking terms.

  I am always concerned when booking accommodation that the photos are edited and the accommodation will never be as nice as the photos but this place exceeded our expectations. It was immaculate, a very high standard and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, towels clean and soft. Nothing about it felt like a ‘temporary’ home like some hotels and accommodation do. It had all the cooking facilities and utensils we could have ever needed. The children settled so well they were really happy here. It was half an hour from Chester zoo, Chester centre, the aquarium and the designer outlet. Plenty of little Dog friendly pubs serving food within a 10/15 minute drive. Plenty of places to walk the dog out the front door too. We had a fantastic time and if we come back to Chester we wouldn’t look past this place. Thank you so much for making our anniversary and mini trip so memorable and comfortable xx

  Fully equipped with everything to make it feel like a home from home. The enclosed garden made it safe for us to allow our 6 month old puppy run free which he loved.

• "The cottage was lovely."

  It was very clean, comfortable and far more spacious than the pictures shown. It had everything we needed for a home from home and a great base to explore both Chester and north Wales. The garden was big and well secured for the dog. It was peaceful but only minutes away ( by car) from local pubs, shops and restaurants in Holt. I would definitely recommend it and we will look to stay again.

  Dog friendly with a fab large enclosed garden and also somewhere to sit out with a brick built barbecue insitu. The whole set up felt quite new with newish appliances, crockery, furniture and comfy beds with lots of storage/hanging space. Easy commute to both North Wales and Cheshire, but beware of pot holes on the country lanes, their vicious. Definitely recommend this cottage.

  The cottage was lovely and the garden very safe for dogs. Julie was very approachable and helpful. Wrexham was awful. But everywhere else was great. Close to most places. Llangollen and horseshoe pass, Conwy and the smallest house in Britain, Chester zoo you need a full day, Chirk Castle, Erddig house, llandudno and the great Orme all worth going to. Would definitely recommend.

  The cottage was very comfortable and exceptionally clean. The owner was very helpful, texting instructions prior to visit and also texted a day or so during our stay, to check everything was okay. The area is very peaceful and the outlook is stunning. We had a wonderful time and this was partly due to the accommodation and it's owner. We can honestly say that it was in our top 10 of places that we have stayed in.

• "Lovely barn."

  Really well presented. The kitchen needed a few things culinary wise, I left visitors feedback so, hopefully that will be sorted ready for other guests! It was great that there were no stairs to cope with. However it was a bit hard getting out of the shower, as it’s over the bath! Ideal for a dog to run around safely. No shops in the village other than the Spar. Too far to walk to, so we went in our car!

  Thank you for your feedback. As all of our properties are self catering it is recommended that if you require any specific items or kitchen equipment to bring your own, alternatively if you call the office we can ask the owner before you travel to avoid disappointment. We hope this did not detract from your time at Commonwood Cottage. Property Owner
