Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
The Owners are really helpful and respond immediately. The Cottage is spotlessly clean and so very comfy!
The views are, as Mum (88) says, 'medicine to the eyes'. The TV/Movie room is great for all ages and the designated garden area for dogs is perfect too.
We have stayed here twice now and we will, hopefully, be returning early next year.
Hi, thanks for your feedback and glad you enjoyed your return visit. We certainly hope you will come back as it is always great to have returning guests.

"The house was perfect for us as we were a family of two grandparents, two parents and two children, 5 & 3."
The ground floor double room with tv and bathroom was perfect for the grandparents to relax.
The children loved the large screen tv room to use after a great day on the beach.
We enjoyed the breakfasts at the cafe nearby at the air museum, good value too.The nearest shop has very friendly staff with lots of choice for beach toys & things. Thank you Steve & Sandra

"Lovely cottage in a great location."
Well equipped with plenty of crockery and cutlery which is always a bonus. The only thing we really struggled with was the kitchen table which is small and low so not ideal for seating five adults for a meal but it didn’t affect our enjoyment.
Sadly the chip shop in the village is closed indefinitely. Instead we had a very good Chinese from the Beijing House in Pen y Groes. Freshly cooked, large portions and good value for money.
Thankyou for your comments, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay in Oak cottage. We currently have a new table on order which will be in place as soon as possible.

"We had a wonderful holiday last week staying at Oak Cottage with a 5 month old baby and our dog."
The cottage was spotless and on arrival there was a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and delicious Welsh cakes. There were towels provided for use on the beach if we wanted and even a towel for the dog. One day we had an issue with the boiler and after contacting Steve, he sorted it out really quickly, kept us updated and even left us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience. We were very impressed with his response. Oak cottage is very central as a base to visit lots of places in North Wales most within approx 30 minutes drive. The cottage itself is very comfortable and well equipped, and we loved the fact that there was a beautiful beach just across the road. We will definitely consider booking Oak cottage again. Thankyou very much to Steve and Sandra for a great holiday cottage.
Thank you for your fantastic feedback and we are really happy that you enjoyed your stay.
We look forward to having you stay as it guest again.

Super hosts. Went looking for a stair gate to exclude the dogs from the upper floor. Queried this with the owners...9.00 a.m. next day Steve was there and fitted a stair gate. Amazing.
Would recommend for anyone wanting isolation and dark skies.
Word of caution, if you have hay fever, be aware this is grassland and the pollen really affected DH.
Am booking for next year. xx
Thanks for taking the time to feed back and really happy you enjoyed your stay.

"We had a lovely stay at Oak Cottage."
Very clean and comfortable.... and for the 1st time ever when staying in holiday rentals, there was an ample amount of dishwasher pods, washing up liquid and a dish cloth provided. Very much appreciated, thank you! The cottage was in a perfect spot for us, just a short walk across the road and you're on the coastal path with easy access to the dog friendly beach. Our 14 month old labrador was in his element, as were we! Although the cottage is part of a courtyard set up and attached to other cottages, it is situated on the end section, which afforded us our privacy. The hosts were really lovely and accommodating, kept in touch via email and called by phone to check if we needed anything. A perfect little break for us and we would not hesitate to book again.

"What a find!"
Wonderful cottage in a beautiful location with views of the coastline and mountains. The cottage is situated at the quiet end of the village with views across to the airport which has a lovely cafe and museum. The description of the cottage and amenities were spot on and are a credit to the lovely friendly owners. The cottage was very comfortable with good quality towels and bed linen and has all the comforts for an enjoyable holiday - especially nice is the TV room where you can relax at the end of the day. The outside area was ideal for sitting out and a enclosed area for the dogs to run free.
Dinas Dinlle is a perfect base to stay to explore this beautiful area of Wales and despite not having the best of the weather we still managed to explore the surrounding area, taking in the beautiful scenery with plenty to see and visit. The dogs especially enjoyed their walks along the beach.
We would definitely recommend Oak Cottage as it is one of the best we have stayed in over the years and can’t wait to visit this part of Wales again soon.

"A lovely stay at a great cottage!"
We would definitely recommend this place. The location is brilliant, only a few metres from the quiet end of the beach and with lovely views over the airfield and towards the mountains.
The cottage itself is nicely done, clean and well maintained as well as thoughtfully equipped. We found the beds to be very comfortable with lovely linens and towels, excellent showers and everything you could need for a self catering stay. Having the two living areas is also lovely - retiring to the big cinema room in the evening after dinner was a real treat.
The owners were really helpful. We received a welcome pack by email a few days before and Steve was happy to answer a couple of questions about practicalities before we arrived. He also checked in with us while we were there. There were also some lovely touches like milk, teabags, cake, beach towels and picnic equipment left for us.

"We were utterly thrilled to see our accommodation when we arrived as it more than met our expectations and beyond."
The location and proximity to other places suited us well. The cottage was very well presented inside and out with peaceful surrounding views of the mountains and sea. We are a family of 6 (plus pet) and the cottage was cozy as well as spacious. Beds were comfortable and clean. It was great to have two bathrooms, including one with a bath. It is so useful to have towels provided and the host went the extra mile and provided beach towels as well. The kitchen was well equipped to provide for self catering, including a dining area to enjoy meals together. A bigger fridge and freezer space would be useful because as a family of six we were not able to stock up for the week, but rather had to shop a few times during the week. There is also a washing machine/dryer which meant less packing as we could wash items where needed. We would highly recommend this accommodation and if we decide to visit North Wales again, we would definitely stay here!
It was a pleasure having you as our guests and appreciate your feedback. Taking into account your comments regarding the limited fridge/ freezer space we will be looking to install a freezer within the utility area over the winter.
We look forward to and hope you can make it back to the cottage soon.
