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.

"Thanks Bev and Phil for a very relaxing stay in your lovely home, and thank you for the wine and sweets."
The cottage is in a quiet location with great walks from the door. Although we didn’t do it, it is only about a mile walk into town where there are a selection of dog friendly pubs and nice shops. For a good meal the Drovers pub just out of town is well worth a visit. We wouldn’t hesitate booking again when next in the area.

Accomodation is pefect to get away from the hustke and busyle of everyday life. Isolated, but a 3 minute drive or 20 min picturesque walk to the town. Grounds are pefect for a dog. Whilst we are both agike i dont see the Accomodation being any problem for people with mobility issues. Definitely intend to go back.

From the moment Jac and I arrived, our hosts Phil and Bev were delightful and so welcoming. The welcome gifts were very much appreciated, lovely bottle of red wine, chocolates and dog treats for Jac. The cottage itself is home from home. Everything you need, comfortable bed, hot shower and very clean. Is was great to come back to a warm, cosy cottage after a days walking. There are gorgeous walks from the doorstep into local woodland with streams running through. Ruthin is a nice little town, which is well located to travel to Snowdonia or the North Wales coast if you so wish. All in all a fantastic stay and will definitely be on my return list.

"Overall, a great stay!"
The cottage is home-home with great facilities. The bed is super cosy and Bev thinks of all the extra's with duck or normal pillows!
Bev and Phil are both lovely people, warm and welcoming and eager to make sure everything is okay with the property.
The outdoor space is lovely and so peaceful listening to the owl's on an evening. Ella and Phoebe loved the outdoor space to explore.
Our only minor comment would be about the washing machine, it may be more beneficial to have a washing machine that the guests can use to do their own washing in, rather than your home washing machine, it's quiet personal giving washing over to Jim and wasn't something I was comfortable with!
A few tat recommendations:
• the cutlery in the draw, mainly sharp knives are a little blunt we noticed whilst trying to cut veg.
• a shower caddy would be helpful in the shower.
Great stay in your lovely cottage, and a very relaxing break!
Unfortunately there is no room in out letting annexe to put a washing machine. However if guests would like to put in and take out their own washing in our machine this is no problem. Otherwise we are happy to do it. I will sort out new knives and a shower caddy. Thank you

The property is spacious and very comfortable. The garden also is very nice. An easy walk into Ruthin which is a very nice little town. Bev & Phil were very good hosts, unobtrusive but very helpful. We noted that some reviewers suggested that there was little in the way of hot water and that there was a noisy pump running at night. Rubbish. The water was hot and plentiful and there was no noise at night other than the occasional hoot of an owl. Similarly it is a very easy drive to the property. Highly recommended.

It was the perfect place to survive the heatwave - sunbathing in the garden underneath the willow tree was absolute bliss. The annexe is beautifully set up - comfy bed, comfy sofas and a kitchen with everything you might need. The TV has Sky Sports (much appreciated in a week with both the Open and cricket going on).

"The details in respect of the proximity to a pub and a shop are incorrect."
The pub has closed down and the shop is three quarters of a mile away. Access to the property is down a one car width road with no passing places for one third of a mile - not for the faint hearted. We spent a week there without hot water for a bath or a quick wash. The water was luke warm. This is due to the ineffective ground source heating system. However, the shower is electrically heated. In addition a pump within the house can disrupt sleep as can people walking around upstairs. The pump can be turned off but this is not a solution as the owners seem to require it for their water supply. However, the property is well appointed, comfortable and situated in a beautiful setting. Sky TV is good, as is the internet access. Zero mobile phone coverage though in the house.
Our property is accessed by a quiet lane and there are 4 passing places leading to our house. We have been with Sykes for 10 years and in that time no-one else has had any issues with the water temperature or any pump noise. Most guests can get mobile phone coverage inside depending on their provider and our landline is available if required. We are sorry that these guests were unhappy with certain things but you can’t please everyone and are grateful that so many of our visitors give us a 100% rating for their stay. We do our very best to ensure our guests have an enjoyable and relaxing stay.

"Lovely & warm and very comfortable indeed - just what we needed."
Some lovely touches - the chocolates and the dog treats. Only comment is that maybe it would be good to note somewhere on the listing that the accommodation is linked to host’s house and is underneath rooms in the host’s house? It may be an issue for some guests. We did feel a little like we had to keep our voices low and we’re concerned when our anxious dog (our fault as she is a lockdown pup and hasn’t travelled much!) barked at night!
There is no issue for noise as the rooms above are not used at night and only occasionally in the daytime. We don’t worry about barking dogs anyway.

The property
Ruthin 1 mile.
An outstanding, modern ground floor wing of a Grade II listed 17th century cottage, formerly a lavender distillery, set on the owners' smallholding, in the Clwyd Valley a mile from the market town of Ruthin.
Providing first-class accommodation with quality fixtures and furnishings, this Ruthin cottage is perfect for a romantic holiday or just for those wishing to get away from it all.
With a cosy sitting room with electric fire and well-equipped, modern kitchen/dining room, plus the benefit of full Sky Sports TV package, comfy corner sofa, underfloor central heating, and a super king-size bed, this Ruthin cottage fulfils most requirements.
The cottage is located next to woodland offering walking trails and paths which lead into Ruthin where you can visit the historic gaol and castle, or browse the shops and enjoy the tea rooms, bars and restaurants.
Set in 25 acres of pasture land with delightful gardens and a babbling stream meandering past a weeping willow tree, this pretty Ruthin cottage is in an idyllic, tranquil setting, offering superb accommodation for romantic breaks, business guests, walkers, bikers or as a touring base for the North Wales area.
The hilltop town of Ruthin lies to the north of Llangollen via the breathtaking Horseshoe Pass. The town is picturesque with attractive half-timbered buildings, mainly clustered around St Peter’s Square. There are many interesting shops and buildings, whilst the Nant Clwyd House (the oldest timber frame in Wales), Ruthin Gaol and Ruthin Craft Centre, which houses work by internationally recognised artists and craftspeople, are also worth a visit. Beautiful countryside is on Ruthin’s doorstep with Lake Brenig, Moel Famau Country Park and Clocaenog Forest close by. Further afield, but still within easy touring distance, are the coast, Snowdonia National Park and historic Chester.
