"This is our third time to Neuadd Wen, we thoroughly love this location, quiet and peaceful."
The property is a lovely quaint cottage we certainly would love to retire to. As a base for North wales it’s perfect, we visited Llandudno, Conwy, Betswy coed, Barmouth, Harlech (Slate Caverns) and Rhug estate as all are within easy reach. And don’t forget The Crown pub for an evening drink and meal. The weather was fantastic for October, we were very fortunate. Looking forward to hopefully returning. thanks

"This is the most beautifully appointed holiday accommodation nestled in a sleepy Welsh village in the heart of Wales."
The owner has kept just the right balance of old and new throughout the property, so it is easy to find yourself transported back in time whilst still enjoying all the necessary modern amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the neighbours who are “deadly quiet” and thankfully kept to themselves. It added adventure and excitement as we imagined their histories and how many of them may have once lived in the house. We enjoyed candlelit evenings listening to the owners CD collection and playing Perudo and Linkee from the board game selection. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. Thank you Jill xx

"Had a lovely stay with all you could wish for in terms of location and facilities."
We were a party of five adults and dog so the large bedrooms were very much appreciated. Loved the shabby chic interiors and functional bathrooms. Only thing we struggled with was living room sofa was too low for our creaky joints.
Owner kept us informed of arrival details and we knew she was there should sometime up - it didn't!. Son and daughter made good use of the Crown Inn too. Definitely would recommend this property

"We had a fantastic time at Neuadd Wen."
Lovely big cottage that offers a home from home feel with space and a beautiful garden. This cottage was ideal for my family of 4 plus my parents, we enjoyed most of our time out in the garden playing and exploring. Our 4 and 1 year old also loved the river down the lane near the local pub, ideal for a little evening paddle when the weather is nice.
The only thing I would recommend, because we have 2 young children, would be offering a stair gate in the living area leading up to the upstairs bedrooms but thats just a minor.
Overall we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend and book again

"We stayed as a family of 5 (two under two and one teenager) along with my parents."
The cottage has lovely bedrooms with comfy beds. The kitchen is very well equipped and the dining room is a nice space to share as a family.
The location is ideal, quiet and relaxed but also close enough to drive to most places. There is a forest 5 minutes away that is ideal for walkers and dogs: the Alwen Reservoir is another great walking option and that is only a 10 minute drive.
Jill was the perfect host and responded to any queries immediately.
The only complaint we could possibly make is the low kitchen doorway. There were a few sore heads until the tall members of our family adjusted to ducking as they went through. Apart from that, a beautiful cottage, in a great location with plenty of home comforts.

"We had a lovely stay at the cottage."
Plenty of room for 2 families like us. Rooms were smaller than they appeared on the photos, but still enough room.
Only one criticism is that it is right next door to a small graveyard, which spooked us initially, but at least the neighbours were dead quiet lol. I'd definitely recommend this lovely cottage.

"Neuadd Wen is a beautiful cottage well positioned as a base for adventures in North Wales."
The cottage itself is comfortable and full of character with beautifully refurbished bath/shower rooms. It was clean and welcoming, and the landlady had kindly left the log fire prepped and ready to go. That fire was absolute perfection to warm and soothe aching muscles after climbing Snowdon on the Saturday.
It's positioned close to Ruthin (20 mins) and Betws y Coed (30 mins), with Rhug Estate and Farm Shop about 15 mins away, (useful for EV drivers as it has plenty of Instavolt units there).
We'd have no hesitation in recommending Neuadd Wen!

Once you get used to the layout, which doesn’t take long, it’s a pleasure to be in. Lovely garden area, kitchen is great and lovely open fire all add to the charm. Ideal location for touring the local area and lots of great walking too. Very handy pub less than two minutes away to top things off. Would certainly come back. Thanks so much.

"We had a great time at Neuadd Wen."
The house is a little maze of cosy rooms. We particularly liked the fire place in the lounge and the big table in the dining rooms that was able to accommodate all eight of us. The winter garden gets a nice bit of sun in the morning and the kitchen is spacious and very well-equipped. It seems that the house is slowly being renovated and some parts of the house and bedrooms are more modern than others. Great value for money and we hope to come back. Many thanks to Jill.

"Neuadd Wen is a beautiful homely cottage, with a cosy living room to cuddle up in, a dining room to fit everyone, and a large conservatory looking out on the garden."
It felt like a comfortable space: where some cottages can feel like you're intruding on someone else's home, Neuadd Wen really does feel like a home away from home!
The beds are comfy, and the rooms are good sizes. Some of our party brought our own towels, because we have dyed hair, but the property has black towels - very smart! The kitchen is well stocked with pans and trays and utensils, which is great if you want to stay in and cook. But if you don't, the nearby Crown Inn, a stone's throw from the cottage, is a friendly place for a delicious dinner. The owners are very welcoming, and the locals we met were lovely, too!
Overall, we had a great time! We drove into Cerrigydrudion for the corner food shop, Ruthin for the supermarket and curios shopping, and down to Corris for the attractions and craft centre (which were a highlight of the trip).
Neuadd Wen is the first Sykes cottage that every member of our party said we'd love to visit again (and we stay in at least two per year, for a long time now, so that's saying something!) We loved it!
Thank you so much, your comments are a perfect end my first year as a host, and I am so pleased your stay went so well

"Lovely property and owner gave us a warm welcome."
The treats for us and our dogs was a wonderful surprise. The description should say that it is next to a cemetery. Good pub nearby and everything located within 20 minutes from great pubs served by great people
I thank everyone for all feedback good and bad because it helps me improve the customer experience. In this instance would add.....
The cottage dates back to 1770 thus carries oodles of original features and charm. Its location is on the edge of a very small village in rural Wales, a very common feature of Rural Welsh, and indeed British villages, is they all have a small graveyard. In this case it is no longer in use, carries historic interest and is picturesque. I think it adds to the peaceful, quintessentially British experience of a historic property.

"This is a lovely cottage in a great location."
The welcoming pack of treats was really appreciated and Jill (the Host) had kindly put together a dog pack too. There was obviously a lot of thought from the owners put into making the stay as enjoyable and comfortable for guests as possible - from the twinkly lights through to the amenities in the kitchen. Having the outside area / back garden to sit with the dogs was lovely, very peaceful and relaxing. The bedroom is comfortable and very clean, the bathrooms are great too. The Crown pub is worth a visit and the walk along the river in the village is lovely too. Jill communicates quickly if you need anything, or in our case left something behind.
A tip that might be useful, using the postcode the Sat Nav took us up a windy track to the wrong house which after over 4 hours stuck on motorways was a bit infuriating so if you have the App What 3 Words please use 'Parkland. Curbed. Identity.' for an exact reference or be more mindful than we were to stay on main road.
This was a perfect base for us and our two dogs and we look forward to returning.

"We absolutely loved staying in this 18th century cosy house full of natural charm and tasteful furniture."
Adored the luxurious touches including the high quality bedding and towels and the deluxe bathrooms. An ideal location for the Dee Valley walks, Clocaenog Forest Trails and the Corwen Circular Walk - just 20 minutes drive to Betws-y-coed, Bala Lake and Ruffin. So handy to have a quaint friendly pub just up the road - Saturday night being Pizza Night - yummy! Looked forward to our evenings sitting round the roaring open log fire, drinking wine and watching Nexflix( included). Plan to stay longer on our next visit and bring the dogs. Top notch - worth every penny !
