"Great place to stay, would definitely come again!"

"This cottage is absolutely gorgeous and can't wait to return."
Perfect for a quiet relaxing break and perfect for our dogs, the view from the front decking is worth going for on its own. The cottage has been brilliantly refurbished, kitchen has everything, and the bath is fabulous. The view from the bedroom is stunning too. The neighbours are nice too, I would rather not recommend this property as I want to keep it for ourselves! 10/10.

"Aster cottage offers amazing views, a short drive to local beaches and a relaxing getaway."
The cottage was ideal for my dog as he could just watch the world pass by from the secure balcony. Just a couple of improvements for comfort would be to change the bed and mattress, the sofa probably needs repadding and the metal frame at the bottom of the stairs to the cottage tightening up. I would definitely go back there and stay.

"Excellent accommodation the only comment I would make a little difficulty with stairs if your over a certain age as we were."

"We had a very enjoyable stay at Aster Cottage."
Sophie and Jan were excellent hosts and living next door were able to help out with a small issue with TV. The cottage was equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. My wife mentioned there was no hairdryer so ladies you may want to take your own. I did mention to Sophie some coat hooks by the front door would be handy for when coming in wet. The village was a handy 10 minute stroll with several shops and pubs to try. Would recommend the Indian take away, very yummy. Lovely walks from the door. Would definitely recommend and have no hesitation in rebooking in the future. Thanks again guys for the Welsh cakes and treats for Misty. Les & Jan

"A sweet little quarryman's cottage perched on a hillside with a tremendous view over the bay."
The owner is very helpful and attentive. The location is good for access to all the coastal resorts via the A55 and south there are lovely inland towns such as LLangollen, Denbigh and Betws-y-coed. The New Inn down the road serves excellent Fish and Chips and other pub fare at very reasonable prices and is dog friendly. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay. The staircase within the property is steep and might prove problematic for those with limited mobility. It is however very well-lit with stair lights. If you want to do your own cooking you should note that the kitchen is on two levels with two steps between.

"Offered all we required for a relaxing break, views amazing would have no problem revisiting Aster Cottage in the future."

"We did not stay at this property."
The area is unpleasant and very run down. The whole property was filthy with dust, grime and cobwebs. Furniture is tatty and paintwork needs redoing. Patio doors could not be used and there were no other windows to open downstairs meaning it was stifling. The layout was very unusual and I felt very claustrophobic. The door to the back of the property was extremely dirty and the steps outside leading up to a very unusable 'roof garden' were covered in moss, winter leaves and rubbish. It was a disgrace and obviously hadn't seen a clean for months. The owner said it would have taken 2 minutes to brush. Not the case. I was so upset and just couldn't have stayed there a moment longer. There is a dog next door that also barked constantly. The owner did offer to come and clean, bring a TV for the bedroom and brush the leaves but nothing could have rectified our feelings about this property. Sykes have advertised and misrepresented this property completely and it should not he allowed This cost a lot of money for 3 nights and I will never book with sykes again. Both the owner and sykes have refused to refund or compensate in any way even though photographic evidence has been provided. I've had to ring sykes several times as they have not replied or returned calls when promised. They do not want to know and I feel so strongly about how others should be warned. I will be taking this further. Avoid this place at all costs
You stayed in the property 30 minutes, it became apparent quite quickly that you were looking for any reason not to stay I have a cleaner for the property before every stay &I also go in following this for final touches I was sorry to hear you were leaving so soon after arriving. I offered to come to see what I could do (go over any cleaning you weren’t happy with). You declined this stating there were also no outdoor cushions (these are located under the stairs as per your welcome message, I also explained this on the phone) You stated you wanted it to be ‘bigger & better’, I again apologised that I couldn’t do anything re the size; unfortunately 200yr old 2bed cottages are not large does not state it’s large on the listing. I am however sorry it wasn’t to your taste, i.e. décor/furniture. We have carefully tried to restore the original character of the cottage, the beams/stone work etc ,we’re disappointed it hasn’t been to the guests’ taste on this occasion In relation to the ‘unusable roof garden’ This isn’t a roof garden, it is access to outside at the back of the property, on the side of a mountain where there are trees, wildlife, birds of prey etc & this is actually higher than the ground floor of the property (sorry this felt unusual) We do hope the views in the front are a wow factor -guests usually enjoy the terrace/decking where there’s garden furniture overlooking the sea &mountains;. The back garden area isn’t necessarily a main point of focus for our guests. However, guests are welcome to utilise the back if preferred, given the opportunity, we could have rectified this & made the rear of the property a focus for your stay. You would not allow me the opportunity to tend to the leaves in the back, there was no ‘rubbish’ in the back garden however. Re the area - I’m sorry you didn’t like Dyserth We have never received this feedback before We’re extremely grateful for the guests so far & we’ll continue to do our utmost to ensure guests enjoy their stay with us.

"We had a lovely stay in Aster cottage and would definitely recommend."
Lots of lovely walks straight from your front door. Waterfall close by and a lovely cafe 'little Frankies' that sells breakfast and lunches etc ( you must try it).
Thank you for the lovely feedback and for choosing to stay at Aster! Really happy to hear you enjoyed yourselves, would love to see the 3 of you (and your lovely dogs❤️) again in the future! Property Owner

"We really enjoyed staying at Aster Cottage."
We were lucky to get amazing weather for the entire week we stayed. To wake up and see the most beautiful view was like a dream. Sophie was very welcoming and although we had no specific issues, assured us we could easily contact her if we required anything. The cottage has everything you'd need. My son (8) loved it and even mentioned how good he was sleeping throughout the week. My only somewhat negative was me and my wife found the mattress a little uncomfortable but i wouldn't lower the rating for it and my son found his really comfortable. Thanks again Sophie. Would definitely stay again and recommend :)
-
"A really nice cottage with good facilities ."
The cottage was very clean and the small touches of condiments were welcoming . The beds were comfortable with good views and Dyserth is a really nice area to explore . We would recommend this lovely cottage and hope to come back in the near future .
So pleased to hear you had such a lovely time, both in the cottage and the area! Thank you for the lovely review. Really happy to hear you’d hope to come back again, hope to see you in the future Property Owner

"We spent a week at Aster Cottage."
The cottage is beautiful and it had great views over Dyserth and beyond. We had to contact the hosts once about something and they were polite and helpful. The only negative points, they are renovating the property next door which is noisy during the week and on the other side of the property the dog barks constantly when the owner is out, other than that would still recommend.
Really pleased to hear you enjoyed the cottage and the views! Happy to say that the work has finished next door, apologies if it was a little noisy through the week. Thank you for choosing to stay at Aster this summer, we’d love to welcome you back here in the future! Property Owner

"We have just returned from a weeks stay at this lovely cottage with fantastic views over the countryside and to the seaside resorts nearby."
We visited Llandudno a few times, using West beach ( if you have doggies) we thoroughly recommend for beach play ( just check tide times )also has great shopping area. We also visited, Prestatyn, Rhyl, Conwy and Betws y Coed and did lots of walking each day. Good local walks off the doorstep of the cottage down rail track, in woods and also to local waterfall. Everyone in the village and surrounding area were very friendly and chatty
So pleased to hear you enjoyed yourselves! Sounds like you had a great time in the surrounding areas, we’d be thrilled to welcome you again in the future Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at Aster cottage."
The cottage is situated in a beautiful village with fabulous views across to the coast. The cottage is well appointed and relaxing - the only improvement would be a shower instead of just a bath with a hand held shower (although due to the layout of the cottage I understand that this is probably not possible) and the stairs are steep which may be useful to know for elderly people (and elderly dogs!) - there is a baby gate though which is helpful. The local area is stunning and we visited Llandudno and Betws-y-Coed which were beautiful. There is a pub (Y-Bodunig) 5 minutes walk away which was dog friendly and a 10 minute walk down to the waterfall where there are another two pubs. Just outside of the village is a gorgeous dog friendly pub in Cwm which is lovely with great food and within walking distance. We found Dyserth to be friendly and welcoming and the small lane where the cottage is situated is lovely and quaint. Parking is tight but this could just be down to me not being the best driver! All in all, a gorgeous cottage in a lovely relaxing area.
Thank you for the great review and really helpful feedback! We’d love to have a shower as well as a bath, however isn’t possible with the layout of everything. Hopefully the hand held shower was manageable for you. Really pleased you enjoyed the cottage and the area in general ☺️ Would love to welcome you back in the future Property Owner

"What a lovely cottage, lovely and cosy with a very comfortable double bed ( the single bed, not so comfy, maybe could do with a better mattress?"
). Fabulous views and so peaceful and quiet. Great location for walking to Dyserth waterfall and for joining the Prestatyn Way for a beautiful 4ish mile walk ( I surprised myself!). Safe for dogs and a lovely walk into the woods behind the cottage from the end of the road. Thank you Sophie for your help and your friendliness. Shirley.
Thank you so much for the review. Really glad you enjoyed your stay and the local walks and woods! Would love to see you again in the future. Thank you for mentioning about the single mattress, we have now replaced this Property Owner

"We had a wonderful holiday at Aster Cottage, the perfect home from home to explore North Wales."
The cottage is in a fantastic location with stunning views or the coast and Snowdonia National Park, I’ll miss waking up to those views! We had a nice message from Sophie, the owner, on arrival. The kitchen was very well equipped, as was the living room with comfy sofas and large tv. The stairs were very steep, but there was a stair gate to put at the top for our toddler so we managed fine. The free standing bath is fab, although a bit slower to get ready with no shower. We ran out of gas a couple of times, which meant no heating, hot water or ability to cook whilst it was getting sorted, but Sophie was very quick and accommodating and replaced it as quickly as possible, even on a Sunday when there were few places open to buy new gas canisters. The village of Dyserth is lovely and has a beautiful waterfall within short walking distance - a must see. We had a toddler with us who was a bit under the weather so did less walking than we’d have liked, but had lovely family days out with our dog exploring the village, at Llandudno, Prestatyn beach front, Bodnant Gardens, and a trip to Llanberis to do the Lake Railway. Small note that many things in the area are closed in February, which we knew and planned for. It was nice a quiet! Would definitely recommend and hope to return one day!
It was lovely to have you stay in Aster! Thank you so much for the lovely review. So pleased you enjoyed and would love to have you back again in the future! Property Owner

"Aster cottage is absolutely lovely."
Very clean, everything you need, cosy & has fantastic views. In a fab location with a short walk to the High Street shops. Dyserth waterfall is a good place to explore. We will definitely be booking again, maybe in the summer months when we can make use of the barbecue!

"Great place comfy with great views out to the bay, terrific sunsets parking a bit of a problem in front but nothing that can be overcome only one little thing possibly a curtain between kitchen and lounge to cut down on heat loss."
We will be back hoping that another storm like Isha doesn’t happen again. All the best Mike and Sue
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. Great idea about the curtain! So glad you enjoyed yourselves. Look forward to seeing you back again in the future! Property Owner

"What a lovely little cottage!"
Recently refurbished. Loved the bath. Comfy bed. Everything we needed was provided. Kitchen was well equipped. Great contact provided for key and if we needed anything owner was available. Helpful instructions were sent via text. Absolutely stunning views. Easy to get to the coast, supermarkets not too far away. Village a short walk away. Recommend the pub and both takeaways. The farm shop serves a hearty breakfast, very nice indeed. We shall return next year hopefully. Totally recommend Aster Cottage.
We’re so pleased you enjoyed the cottage and the area. Thank you for the lovely feedback. Hope to welcome you back in the future Property Owner

"Absolute jem."
Views to die for. This is a very comfortable and cozy cottage within a short distance to local amenities. We ran out of gas so called the owner and within one hour they came and fitted a new bottle. We will return, but maybe in the summer next time. Well done for a pleasantly presented cottage with all the comforts of home.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We’re so glad you enjoyed yourselves! Hope to see you again soon! Property Owner

"This accommodation is everything it is described as and more."
The building is over 200 years old and packed with character, but has been beautifully and sympathetically modernised, has an amazing view and was clean and tidy. The host was most polite and welcoming through text and email communication and had left us complimentary tea and coffee and some cakes! I would definitely recommend this accommodation and would love to return in the summer so that we can make the most of the terrace and views!
Thank you so much for the lovely review. We’re so happy your enjoyed the cottage and hope to welcome you back in the near future Property Owner

"We are so pleased we chose to stay at Aster cottage Dyserth."
The owner was so helpful and very friendly, even leaving me gluten free cakes. The cottage was very comfortable and really clean, and since we were lucky with the weather, really enjoyed the outdoor space were we could relax with an amazing view. There are lots of beautiful walks in the area and the New Inn and The Blue Lion both served fantastic food and were both dog friendly. Thankyou, we will definitely be returning very soon,

"Fantastic stay at Aster Cottage."
Couldnt fault it. Very clean, cosy and a fantastic view from the front of the cottage. Aster cottage has everything you need for a nice relaxing holiday in Wales. Shops, beach, all within very short distance from the cottage. Owners very accommodating and couldnt do enough for us, just a phone call away if we needed anything. They made us and our two dogs very welcome. The welcome gifts were a very nice touch too! We will definately be back and recommend to others.
Thank you so much for the review. We’re so glad you had such a lovely time! Hope to see you again soon! Property Owner

"We had a great a great week in Aster Cottage, it has recently been refurbished so everything is in pristine condition."
A lovely location with distant views over the sea and coastal resorts. The cottage was clean and comfortable and quite well equipped, we cooked a few meals and sampled the local takeaways. The weather was exceptional and we enjoyed watching the sunset from the comfort of our own deck.
Thank you so much for your review of Aster Cottage! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay. We’d love to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

Set in the waterfall village of Dyserth, a charming settlement resting on the outskirts of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley in North Wales, lies the lovely, two-bedroom holiday home of Aster Cottage.
Featuring off-road parking for one car, well-appointed interiors, and an enclosed garden with seating and glass balustrade enjoying views of Anglesey, the Orme in Llandudno, as well as the historic sites of Gwrych and Rhuddlan Castle, this delightful property welcomes a family or group of three friends seeking a relaxing, self-catered escape to Denbighshire.
Park up, unpack, and make yourself at home in your wonderful new dwelling, wherein you’ll find a fully-equipped kitchen complete with all the appliances you’ll need to rustle up a tasty, home-cooked meal.
Savour your dinners either at the breakfast bar or dining table, before you settle down in the living/dining room to enjoy a film on the wall-mounted Smart TV as the day rolls into night.
When sleep calls, head upstairs to rejuvenate with a soak in the bath, on your way to hunkering down for a much-needed rest in either a plush double or single bed.
If you can tear yourself from your tranquil base, head out to explore what your local area has to offer.
A brief walk into the centre of Dyserth will bring you to two convenience stores selling homely essentials, the award-winning Dyserth Butchers, Frankies Farm Shop where you can enjoy a spot of tea, several pubs including The New Inn, The Red, and Y Bodunig Inn, as well as the breath-taking Rhaeadr Dyserth Waterfall where you and your loved ones can grab an ice cream as you watch the waves cascade.
You can also access the woods from the street, a perfect excursion for you and your canine companion.
Further afield, jump in the car and head to the nearby sites of Moel Hiraddug, Twthill or the Rhuddlan Nature Reserve before you spend an afternoon exploring the many delights of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, home to Loggerheads Country Park, Vivod Mountain, Llangollen Museum, and the National Trust spot of Chirk Castle.
During your stay, be sure to also stop by the beautiful location of Bodnant Garden on your journey into the breath-taking Eryri National Park, a stunning region home to iconic attractions such as Zip World Llechwedd, the Bala Lake Railway, and the awe-striking Aber Falls.
All of this and more is yours to enjoy when you book Aster Cottage.
