"The property and amenities were excellent however apart from the kitchen we all found rest of property to cool."
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are sorry to hear that you found the property cool, this is not something we have found guests have had an issue with before. We do leave our guests a starter pack for both log burners and guests also have full access to the thermostat for the central heating making the property warm and cosy. Property Owner

"We stayed for 4 nights with our two children in late July 2024."
Ystrad Bach is in a perfect location to visit all local seaside towns such as Colwyn bay, Welsh mountain zoo, Rhyl and Prestatyn. Plus there are plenty of big name supermarkets and takeaway places near by. We recommend the fish and chip in Denbigh. The owners were very welcoming and helpful - they live in the property next door. The property is stunning, with lovely decoration throughout- lots of wooden flooring throughout but with modern kitchen appliances. The kitchen is also equipped with everything you will need during your stay from cooking utensils, cleaning supplies, kitchen roll and all crockery/cutlery. Take laundry detergent etc as the washer/drier is very useful and no washing to take home! All towels and linen included- plus a bath mat for the children. The views are also beautiful- sitting outside with the fire pit is a must. The children also enjoyed the use of piano and there is a huge selection of board games, books and drawing in the lounge sliding cupboard. The welcome cakes, snacks info pack was a great added touch also. :) The hot tub was a fantastic added extra- though do take flip flops and dressing gowns as it’s accessed across the gravel/grass at the front of the property. Do watch out for the low beams upstairs if your tall and the bed in the master bedroom is a little un comfy unfortunately. We enjoyed our stay very much and would hope to return in the future to Ystrad Bach :)
Thank you much for the lovely review and we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Ystrad Bach. We subsequently investigated the matress in the Master bedroom and it seems to have been flipped - hence the discomfort ! This has now been remedied and the bed is as comfortable as ever. Apologies for this ! Property Owner

"Super! Comfortable, relaxing and well sited for North Wales with easy access to the coast, the mountains and other 'named' towns in the area."
Very warm welcome from Gwawr (owner) who was readily available for support if needed and not intrusive during our stay; perfect peace of mind!
-
"Beautiful house with fabulous views and friendly, helpful hosts."
Robes and slippers weren’t provided which is the only negative. Oh and watch for the low beams! Maybe a warning could be placed on the beams.

"We had a lovely week with our family."
The highlights of the house were beautiful views, hot tub, large kitchen area and a baby grand piano. Loved eating at Con Amici Italian restaurant 5 mins drive away. We enjoyed the Denbigh town centre trail too.

"We had a wonderful stay in a simply gorgeous country cottage."
We loved every minute of our stay and would definitely look at returning.

"Gorgeous country cottage."
Short walk into town. Cottage provides everything required to relax & enjoy your stay. Hot tub was lovely. Owner Gwawr & Andrew are very freindly. Nothing is too much trouble. Beam on landing a little low, hubby & friends husband banged there head a few times, even though they told themselves to 'watch the beam'. We sat outside every night watching the stars. Magi the puppy came to join us on a few occasions she was lovely & friendly too. Overall fantastic few days away in the cottage.

"Fabulous house and a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside."
Lovely views from the house and great facilities! Hot tub was lovely and private and looked out over the fields. Pizza oven made the best pizzas and fire pit was fun for toasting marshmallows. The piano was a lovely addition and much appreciated by the 3 pianists in the family! Great welcome pack and facilities inside the house! The house is deservedly a luxury accommodation!

"Thank you so much for a lovely stay at Ystrad Bach - We have had a wonderful, relaxing weekend."
The House is amazing and the views are stunning. We felt very comfortable and at home during our stay. A special thank you to Andrew for his help with the pizza oven! And a big thank you for the delicious "cacen"! Thank you

"Nice property, well equipped throughout, although a mains shower upstairs instead of the electric one would greatly improve the facilities."
The location provided on the booking was incorrect, which delayed our arrival, and meant we had to contact the owner for directions, as the written directions did not cater for the direction we were coming from. It’s not clear that there is a road directly behind the property, albeit a minor road. There were lots of cobwebs and dust in the upstairs rooms, and a mouse paid us a visit on the last evening and tried to get into the biscuit box! A nice property, with some areas that could do with improvement.
Thank you for your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Ystrad Bach, although we are sorry to hear that the directions Sykes Cottages provide did not bring you to the property, we have since spoken to Sykes, and have updated the directions to ensure no other guests will have the same difficulties. Regarding the cobwebs and the visit from a mouse, we are in the countryside with lots of wildlife, we have never had any reports of mice in the property, and after a thorough inspection, we cannot find any trace of mice anywhere in the house Property Owner

"The property is stunning in a lovely rural location with breathtaking views."
Every aspect of this lovely home is top quality and has been tastefully decorated and furnished. Nothing has been overlooked to ensure you have a lovely stay. The hot tub is a welcome bonus with lovely views. Also looking at the views whilst relaxing in the roll top bath was a real luxury. The owners are lovely and friendly but respect your privacy. Nice welcome pack, with a home made cake. We have stayed in many luxury properties over the years, but this one is definitely one of the best. We would definitely recommend it to anyone who appreciates staying in a top quality property.

"Definitely would recommend the property to people and would like to return again"

"Property was immaculate."
It was -2 outside so we burned through the logs the first night. The owner delivered another sack the next day. Amazing sunrises over the Clwydian range. Great indoor outdoor flow would make it a wonderful place to stay whatever the weather.

"This place is amazing, the furnishings are all top brands and has everything you would need for your stay."
The location is just outside of the town Denbigh and it's a perfect base for exploring all of North Wales. The owners are very friendly and are nearby if you have any issues or queries. Thank you once again for an amazing stay at Ystrad Bach.
