  • "The cottage is full of character and has been beautifully restored."

    It was spotlessly clean, and every home comfort was provided. The location too was perfect, only a short walk into the town. The only very minor downside was not being able to park outside the cottage - we weren't entirely comfortable having to leave the car out of sight but this wasn't enough of a worry to spoil our appreciation of the property.

    Thank you for the lovely review . It’s always good to hear that guests have enjoyed their stay. We would be very happy to welcome you back for another stay. Best wishes Lynsey and Dave Property Owner

    What a lovely house. It is obvious so much time and energy has been spent restoring it. House is in a great location, has a lovely vibe, very quirky and is well equipped. We loved staying there and will definitely consider booking it again.

  • "Delightful holiday home in a perfect location."

    18 Church Street has been beautifully restored to create the perfect mix of olde world charm with all the facilities you’d expect in a modern holiday home. We enjoyed cosy evenings by the log burner, listening to the distant peal of church bells and the twice daily clip clop of the canal horses going to and from work at the canal….bliss! The outside seating area has been perfectly designed to stay dry and sheltered in all weathers. We even sat out and watched a thunderstorm! Can’t rate this property highly enough for modern comfort in an idyllic setting. We’ll definitely be back. 5 stars *****

    Thank you for the lovely review. It was great to hear how much you enjoyed your first trip to Wales and we would be very happy to welcome you back any time. Best wishes Lynsey and Dave . Property Owner

  • "Absolutely loved our week here - the property has been beautifully and sympathetically restored, was very clean and had everything we needed."

    It is comfortable & cosy, especially with the log fire burning. The garden area was a real bonus for our little westies. It is located just a short stroll away from the lovely independent shops and eatieries, of which there are plenty. Llangollen has so much to offer and we were very grateful for good weather to enjoy the fabulous walks along the canal, river and nearby acqueduct, there is also a steam railway but I would advise to check when the trains are running. We also did white water rafting here with a company just down the road from the cottage and it was so much fun. Highly recommend this holiday home.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are so glad that you enjoyed the cottage and your time in Llangollen. I hope you will return for another holiday soon. Best wishes Lynsey and Dave Property Owner

    It was spotlessly clean and well equipped. A cosy and comfortable place to hunker down into during bad weather and an amazing outside area to enjoy at other times. The property is well situated for the town and for walking with both the canal and the river to enjoy. I would definitely recommend this cottage and would stay here again if looking to holiday in Wales in the future.

    The accommodation was exceptional, we loved the fact it was an old property keeping the original features but had the additional tastefully done kitchen and bathroom. The garden is lovely, has the sun until it goes down in the evening, and the seating area is excellent with fantastic views. The hosts were lovely. Cannot fault it, will definitely recommend and hope to return. Lorraine and Clive

    This is our second stay here and the brilliant outside area was extra appreciated this week with great weather.

  • "We did enjoy our stay, however there were a couple of issues which require attention."

    Immediately as you enter you smell damp. My view is this is coming from the main bathroom shower as the shower screen has no bottom seal and a lot of water is escaping on use. In addition we were unable to sleep well due to the lack of blackout curtains which prevented us being able to sleep past 5am. This is however a lovely property. Thanks John

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review . I have spoken to the housekeepers today and they have not noticed a damp smell , we also visit the property regularly and have not noticed it ourselves . We will however check the property fully on our next visit. We do have a blackout blind in the twin room , to keep children in bed longer but personally prefer the main bedroom to be a bit lighter , however we have taken note of your comments. We hope you will choose to come for another visit . Best wishes Lynsey and Dave Property Owner

  • "We have just returned from a week's stay at 18 Church Street and what a wonderful week it was."

    Parking with a permit,directly behind the property,cost less than £20 for the whole week which was really good value for money. It made unloading the car simple as we just carried the bags through the beautiful back garden and in to the cottage. The property has been restored to its original wattle and daub architectural beginnings with a photo book available to see first hand,the work that went into it. Inside,it's a peaceful little haven,spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished and with such a relaxed atmosphere. The inglenook fireplace is stunning and looks wonderful at night with the little light to accentuate the oxblood interior. (Need to go back in winter to see the stove in action ) The kitchen is bright and modern with everything you need ,finding the fridge and freezer is a revelation ! The downstairs bathroom is bright and airy with a really comfortable,deep bath and fantastic walk-in shower. The staircase proved a tiny bit of a struggle for me as I'm using a crutch due to a ligament injury but I managed quite well ,just took it slowly. The beds are made up with pristine white cotton bedding and are amazingly comfortable,I slept better that I have for years ! But it's the enclosed garden area that was the icing on the cake. Parts of it,starting with the table and chairs first thing in the morning,get the sun all day and the sheltered seating area at the top gets its share in the later afternoon/early evening. It's protected from the weather so unless it's a hurricane,you can still sit outside in inclement weather. There is only one tiny niggle, I think a rubber bath mat for the bath interior would be an idea,just for a little extra security when getting in and out ,or specify on the info that people might like to bring one with them. Be prepared for a little noise from the occasional passing merrymaker ( the town seemed to have a few "stags" around ) but they rarely seem to venture up Church Street and deliveries to the Co-op,but these really don't have more than a fleeting impact. The other noise is simply bird song,raucous Jackdaws and church bells. But the biggest thing about the cottage is the effect it had on my partner. He has a very stressful job and is constantly strung out....after two days of being at 18 he was more relaxed than I've seen him for years...the property was obviously a labour of love for the owners and it repays by wrapping guests in a lovely,warm and quiet embrace. Fantastic stay,thank you !

    Thank you for taking the time to give the cottage a great review . It’s lovely to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found it relaxing, It’s also helpful to know what people find missing from the cottage so we can improve for future guests . We would be very happy to welcome you back for another stay to make use of the wood burner . Best wishes Lynsey and Dave Property Owner

    The garden area with patio, decking and covered seating were marvellous. Our own little suntrap even though in close proximity to the town centre. Kitchen beautifully equipped, lounge and dining area very cosy. Shame it wasn't cold weather, I'd have loved to light the fire. Full credit to the owners.

    It has been beautifully and sympathetically restored and definitely has the wow factor when you come in. It's so cosy with the wood burner and the lounge is very tastefully and comfortably decorated. Lovely modern kitchen and bathroom and we loved the garden area with the fabulous undercover seating area. We had the best nights sleep in a long time. The bedrooms are very comfortable and beautifully decorated. It was fabulous to see the story of the restoration, a true labour of love. The location of the cottage is great, very central and some lovely pubs and eateries in the town. Would 100% recommend this cottage and if we return to Llangollen would definitely stay there again.

  • "Wow, what an amazing place to stay!"

    The owners have done a fantastic job at renovating the property and it’s been done to a very high standard (we loved the photo book). Really easy to find and access the cottage. The house was absolutely immaculate and I’m very picky. Loved the garden and the garden furniture, which was really comfy. We even sat out in the rain in the undercover section with a glass of wine. Parking was extremely easy and the cheapest in Llangollen. It was very reasonably priced (about £2 for 24hrs), so make sure you book for your whole stay in advance to secure a spot. It’s a brilliant app to find parking anywhere, we’ll definitely use it again. The children loved the secret garden entrance, it’s a genius idea and really easy to unload your belongings from the car. The cottage is located close to the centre, so we didn’t need to use the car for our whole stay. The cottage was lovely and warm with comfy beds and a great sized tv. We played some of the board games in the evening (thank you). If you are considering booking this property, we can highly recommend it, you won’t be disappointed, it is exactly as described and a whole lot more. We loved it and loved our stay. Thank you

    Thankyou so much for taking the time to give our cottage such a lovely review. It’s great that you found the parking so easy , as the summer months come Llangollen gets busy so it’s always good to book the parking ahead of your stay .

    When we arrived I was stunned to see just how truly magical the cottage is. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the owners have carefully thought out and supplied everything needed for a really comfortable break away. The character of the cottage is adorable and all of the beautiful little nooks and crannies were so intriguing. The bed was VERY comfy, and having a second toilet upstairs came in really handy. We couldn’t have wished for a more pleasant stay in Llangollen. We loved the cottage and enjoyed it so much that we’ve booked again to stay in 2025.

    We have stayed in the area several times now since 2020 and a visit into Llangollen has always been on the agenda. For this trip we wanted to stay in the Town itself. It turns out we were the Cottage owners first ever customers after what must have been a labour of love from them to restore this lovely property. A cosy lounge with a comfy sofa and equally comfy armchair, a massive fire place with wood burner for those cold evenings - the owners provide an ample starter kit. Beyond the lovely lounge is a spotless and well equipped kitchen and bathroom with a bath and separate shower beyond. The bed in the master bedroom was large and comfy. The garden area is well kept and pleasant and a surprise view of the sides of the valley when sat in the sheltered seating area was an unexpected bonus. Zero complaints and only praise. We will be booking this lovely little gem of a cottage again!

    Thank you so much for your kind words, its been a lot of work over the last 18 months to renovate the cottage. We were a bit nervous about how it would be received by our first guests so to hear everything went ok is a great relief. Looking forward to welcoming you back in the future.
