"Beautiful location."
House and garden was amazing. Very clean and homely. Had everything you needed with great hosts. Planning to return next year.
-
"Absolutely stunning property and beautiful location."
The space was perfect for 4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Garden was beautiful and playground nearby was quiet and plenty to do. Great location for exploring Flintshire and Conwy. Would happily go back for more weeks, Dave and Jules go the extra mile with comfortable and practical touches within the house. Thank you for a lovely welcome basket and fresh milk

"The cottage is beautiful and was spotlessly clean and one which allows dogs too is a huge positive."
There was a lovely bonus of a welcome pack and so many lovely touches even bowls and biscuits for the dog. The garden is big and the play park directly opposite is a bonus for anyone with children. The Fox Inn is a few steps away and highly worth a visit - great food and a friendly welcome from the owners. Would we stay again - most definitely!

"Garreg Wen is an outstanding cottage located in the most peaceful and quiet area (but still within a stones throw of the pub!"
). Both the outside and interior of the cottage are just beautiful. We fell in love with it immediately! Everything was spotless. Everything we could have asked for was provided. The sofas were so comfy, as were the beds. The kitchen was a dream with plenty of space to cook and eat. The garden is a great size and the dogs loved it. The owners are clearly animal lovers, evidenced in the pictures and little ornaments around the house, which we loved, and a lot of thought had also been given to what doggy visitors might need such as dog bowls and treats. Communication from owner (Dave) was great and I felt reassured that had we needed anything/had any problems we would have had a prompt response. We found Garreg Wen to have a very peaceful and happy 'vibe' and we all felt able to fully relax and enjoy our stay. We loved it so much we have already booked again.

"Excellent property to stay in, would certainly recommend ."
We appreciated the goodies basket and the milk and butter in the Fridge. The owner Dave asked us if there was anything we needed just to let him know. We would love to stay again if in the area.

"Absolutely fabulous place, everything you need is catered for."
Huge garden for the dogs. Lovely seating area outside. Nice peaceful area. Eating at the fox inn is a must. Dave popped round to check if everything was to our satisfaction. Nice chap. Definitely a good place to go to again. Thanks for the use of your cottage...

"This is a beautiful cottage in a perfect setting & everything we needed was provided & more!"
Beautiful furniture & accessories, very comfy bed & lovely good size shower cubicle. The cottage was spotlessly clean & set in a very pretty garden with plenty of furniture for outdoor dining. There’s lots to do in the surrounding area & plenty of local pub restaurants that are dog friendly. There’s also a small pub just over the road from the cottage which serves food & good beer!! The owners checked in with us on arrival & were happy for us to call them if we’d needed to. I can’t recommend this cottage enough…it’s stunning & we will definitely be going back!!

"A lovely cosy cottage in a quiet little village, with beautiful surrounding countryside and great views."
The cottage was decorated to a very high standard, and was very clean, with a welcome basket which we appreciated. There is a very large, secure garden which our 2 dogs enjoyed exploring. The local pub (literally a 2 min walk away) 'The Fox Inn' is small and cosy but full of very friendly locals who enjoyed chatting with us. We ate there twice and it is good pub food. You need to book in advance though as it is popular with the locals. We enjoyed local walks from the cottage with our dogs, including through woods beside the local lake. The single track lanes around were very quiet and easy to walk on, with only the occasional local driving past. Dave, the owner, contacted us before, during and after our stay and was very helpful. Would definitely recommend - in a perfect location for visiting both Chester and North Wales.
