• "A lovely, cosy cottage, perfect for two."

  This cottage is immaculately appointed and everything worked perfectly (when the dishwasher operator error was sorted!) The bed was comfortable, good quality bedding and plenty of towels were provided. The kitchen had everything we needed and the owners thoughtfully provided milk, tea, coffee, and Welsh cakes for our arrival. The location is handy for a walk into Ruthin town centre, but be aware the hill is steep for those of us raised on the Cheshire Plain. There are plenty of things to see and do within 30 minutes drive in any direction from retail therapy to mountain moorlands to coastal beaches. Overall, we had a relaxing, comfortable stay enjoying an area we know well from a different perspective.

  Thank you for your very much appreciated feed back, you are welcome to come back anytime. Property Owner

• "When we arrived the cottage was completely infested with flies."

  After 2 days I managed to get rid of them, I lost count after about 30. There were also a couple of slugs on the kitchen floor. There was a layer of dust over the stove and some of the furniture. The armchair and sofa were very grubby and the throws put on to cover them up were too small and kept sliding off. The TV didn't work very well and there was something wrong with the hob - difficult to switch on and impossible to control heat level. No instructions for anything didn't help. There were instructions for the wood burner but no 'starter pack' and it looked as though it hadn't been used for years. The bed at least was clean but the mattress was hard. The cottage looks out on to a main road so very noisy, people walking past the window and cars parking right outside all day and night. There is over a foot drop from the parking area at the back to the door of the property with no hand rail - very dangerous. Also no handrail on the very awkward stairs between the main bedroom and the bathroom. It's a shame because Ruthin is a lovely little town and this cottage could be quite nice if it was properly cleaned and maintained and some basic safety features installed

  We're really sorry our place didn't meet your expectations, it's a pity you didn't raise your concerns whilst you were there, both our numbers are clearly visible on the kitchen whiteboard. We would have come over immediately to shoo the flies out and remove the 2 slugs, not sure how or why the slugs were there, no other guests have mentioned flies. Slightly unsure how a layer of dust appeared within 3 hours of the previous occupants leaving and having then been cleaned but again, we're sorry about that. In our opinion the sofa and chair are not grubby and nobody has ever complained about the throws falling off. Apologies that the standby button on the TV remote didn't work. Again, apologies that you couldn't navigate the controls on the hob. The cottage is usually hot in the summer with no need for a log fire. The Sykes cover picture of the cottage clearly shows that it is roadside, with roadside parking. The cottage is 200 years old and unfortunately the stairs cannot be altered. We have not had any other complaints about the step to the parking area before, this issue could be addressed. Over the last 5 years we have received an average rating of 4.8/5 from our guests. It's very difficult to please all of the people all of the time, clearly we have not pleased you, I hope your experience has not put you off our beautiful town of Ruthin. Property Owner

• "3rd time staying here and definitely not the last."

  It's a perfect base for us and our dog for local walks and venturing out to beach walk and national parks and lake Bala. The local town has everything we need. Shops, supermarkets and 2 lovely pubs dog friendly. The Park Place very friendly staff and locals. There's a pizza kiosk on car park freshly made wood fired pizzas are the best. The Boar which was closed last year has reopened and taken over by a lovely lady and when chatting she is originally from our area in West Midlands. We feel like it's home from home and the owners are very helpful should you need help. The bonus this year is back garden has been fenced off so we didn't have to keep our dog on lead when we sat outside. Perfect stay

  Many thanks for coming to stay again. Property Owner

• "The cottage was in an ideal location, just on the edge of Ruthin with a pub, shop and takeaway minutes walk away."

  The bed was very comfy and bedroom a good size with lots of storage and generally the cottage was clean. However, we did not like the throws on the furniture, although I can understand wanting to protect the furniture, the throws were not very clean. The kitchen was a good size with fridge, dishwasher, washing machine etc. unfortunately we could not get the hob to work. Having a private car parking area was a real bonus as parking in Ruthin is very difficult. The outside area with an undercover patio was a real surprise and a great safe area for our dog. Despite these little problems we would recommend this cottage.

  Few small additions would assist persons of limited mobility, e.g grab rails. Lovely neighbours and environment and despite being on a busy road very quiet and relaxing.

  The cottage is well equipped and was immaculate. Good fast WiFi and having your own parking space was a bonus. We found watching TV a bit uncomfortable because it's on the wall but that's a personal preference. Could clearer information be provided in future about what to do with the rubbish? We always like to leave everything clean and tidy when we leave and we were unsure what to do with the rubbish. Overall a great place to stay and we would recommend it to others.

  We had a great time, and survived the hot weather! The cottage is beautifully furnished and well equipped. The welcome goodies ( cake, milk, tea and coffee) were much appreciated. We ate locally most days and did trips out to Llandudno and Betws Y Coed. Would definitely stay here again. Only comments I would make is that if you have small children, it does have some steep stairs and the shower has the potential to get very hot. We struggled a little with the cooker, and I would’ve loved to see the instruction manual. Great place though, and Ruthin is an interesting town steeped in history. Thanks for a lovely stay!

  Had a great stay, shame it’s on a main road as could not have the front bedroom window open at night as it was too noisy - the fan came in handy! The back garden area could also be fenced off to make a small secure section for the dog to roam - don’t need all that parking space as cottage suits one family/one car. The Sykes website also states a games room as one of the facilities - obviously an error?!! Overall, we had a lovely holiday, great base to explore, friendly neighbours and locals.
