  • "We had a lovely week long holiday at Fron Goch."

    Three generations travelled together and were all delighted with the setting, the accomodation and the local area. The house is very spacious so there is lots of room for everyone and it's very cosy and warm. The kitchen is very well equipped. Lots of crockery and cutlery and two dishwashers too so no running out of anything! The kids can roam around outside safely outside and are well catered for with table tennis, table football, monkey bars and swings and the games room too. A gorgeous house and beautiful settling. We would definitely return if we come back to this area again.

    All said this is the best property we have stayed in by far. We have been sharing extended family holidays for a number of years and this proved to be a standout week. The space both inside the house and surrounding the property is a real asset for a large mixed age group. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need for a large group. The social areas are very adaptable. The bedrooms are really comfortable. The location is very convenient for the coast attractions of North Wales and the farm house is in a really attractive setting.

  • "Age range 1 to 60."

    This was an amazing holiday home! Lots of space, (living space and bedrooms), plenty of plates and cutlery etc. Everything we could think of to use was there. The garden was nice and open (moveable barriers are available if you want to cut off a space or keep children or dogs contained). There was a swing and climbing frame area, football net, plenty of outdoor furniture. There is a games room but we didn’t use this as the weather was so good. it was cleaner than previous properties, good entertainment for the kids (table tennis, books, board games), good location. There were three families holidaying together (grandparents, married daughters and husbands, grandchildren ) plus 3 dogs. There was plenty of space to dine, watch a movie, play together. But also lots of space to find a quiet corner to read in peace. The owners replied to queries incredibly quickly (sometimes within minutes!). I would definitely recommend this holiday home for large groups. You will not be disappointed- we will definitely be returning. We love the ethos of the place - it is very eco friendly

  • "Fron Goch Farm was the perfect property for our extended family vacation."

    13 adults and two children spanning 4 generations were easily accommodated. The Farm has been beautifully renovated and the kitchen was brilliantly equipped. We enjoyed being able to cook and eat together. The 2 large sitting rooms, each with a woodburner, were beautifully styled and very comfortable and we used both every evening, relaxing drinking a glass of wine and playing a board game or two. The Farm is in an excellent location and we enjoyed day trips to Conwy Llandudno, and hiking in Snowdonia and the Clwydian Hills. There are a couple of pubs within 1.5 miles and a large supermarket 5 miles away. For any large group looking to spend time in North Wales we would definitely recommend Fron Goch Farm and we hope to return soon to enjoy some more of its magic.

  • "The stunning Fran Goch Farm, set in the Welsh valleys, is just an absolutely amazing holiday home."

    We had a party of 13 family members and we all had an incredible time. The size of the house is perfect and meant we all had our own space but could easily eat and socialise together on an evening. The Orangerie was the highlight of the house for us with it's gorgeous wooden beams, and we spent the majority of our time in there. The house is set in a great location with amazing views and it's own hill for the kids to explore with rope swings hidden away at the summit. There is a very nice scenic walk into the village of Llanfair Talhaiarn, which takes about 30 minutes, crossing the river. The village has a couple of lovely pubs with the pub food at the Black Lion being amazing. The location of Fran Goch Farm is perfect and only a 15 to 40 minute journey to most local destinations such as Abergele, Gwrych Castle, Conwy and Llandudno. We would especially recommend a longer journey to Beaumaris, in Anglesey, with it's gorgeous village and moated castle. The only slight downside of our trip was that the broadband to the house is slightly intermittent, and the WiFi to the TV room had issues for a lot of our stay. This was to be expected with the location and size of the house, but meant we couldn't use the TV in the TV room for much of our stay. We also found there to be no WiFi signal in the annex bedrooms but found that there is a 5G WiFi router in the games room which we moved into the annex for the duration of our stay, which was actually then the fastest and most stable connection. Overall, we absolutely loved our trip to Fran Goch Farm and the owner, James, was in communication throughout and happy to help with any issues. We would love to return in the future.

    Hi Craig, thanks for the lovely review. we're glad you had a nice stay :) Internet has always been a bit tricky at the farm because of the poor rural connection and thick walls. To address this, we've just had the house hard wired with Ethernet cables which should resolve most of the problems (especially with the lounge TV). We're sorry that this wasn't done for your stay but hope you will enjoy it if you choose to visit again :) James Property Owner

    The views were spectacular and panoramic. The farmhouse is magnificent and each room is beautiful with stunning views and there are plenty of bathrooms. The accommodation is huge with a welcoming hall with a log burner fire, 2 very large living rooms also with log burner fires, a separate games room and an Annex which has a large double bed and twin beds in a separate room, own bathroom and tea/coffee making facilities with a small seating area and under floor heating. The main farm house was simply stunning and spacious. It was lovely and warm which also had some under floor heating and plenty of radiators. We never once felt cold even in March. Each room had USB points everywhere and all the family said the beds were comfortable for a good nights sleep. The kitchen diner was well equipped with absolutely everything you required for cooking large family/group meals and a huge oak dining table looking out at the beautiful view. The kitchen led onto another large living room with the same stunning views and had a further dining table. This room was great for entertaining, being so near to the kitchen. It was so relaxing sat outside on the enormous patio area just looking out at the view onto the beautiful countryside and River Elwy. There are pretty little streams also. We all did a fabulous walk from the property into the village of Llanfair and built up an appetite for a pub lunch. The owner James was very helpful and only a text away for any questions. A couple of complimentary bottles of iced cold Prosecco were left for us in the drinks fridge which was a lovely touch. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Fron Goch Farm and we were all sad to leave which proves what a great time we all had. Can’t wait to go back.

    It was situated central to most of the places we wanted to visit in the week we were here.We stayed here in a week that was very hot and was very grateful for the big fan in the kitchen area which we moved to different rooms where it was need, i think a couple more would be appreciated. There was a few issues we had, this property was listed as having a ground floor bedroom which was one of the reasons we booked, we had two people with disabilities who cannot manage stairs so this was ideal, but the toilet on the ground floor was so low it was a struggle for them to use having both got bad knees, this was a big issue, even the younger generation found it difficult it was ok for my 4yr old grandson.The cleanliness of the place was a-bit disappointing lots of cob webs and dead spiders my husband had to go around with the hoover (which was full )when we got there, we can appreciate flies and spiders being in the country but these had been there sometime.The kitchen drawers inside were filthy, long hair on some of the floor mats in the bathrooms, the annex is a lovely addition for our other disabled person but the shower floor was orange around the edges so needed a good clean and the toilet brush needs changing and bin replaced as broken. The chairs in the kitchen need some pads on the feet because when you have a large party of people the scrapping noise was so loud and grating. The other major thing we found a problem for us is there is no security when it comes to our dogs, we couldn't just open the doors and let them out someone always had to be there because there was no safe place for them to be, we had to fence off one end with garden furniture and put them on leads, and on hot days like we had we couldn't have the doors open all the time without putting some sort of barricade to stop them going out, this wasn't very relaxing so some sort of gates would be ideal.also very short on hanging space in rooms. But on a good note sorry for the ramble we had a lovely stay and would definitely come back again if issues were dealt with.

    Thank you very much for the feedback. We have passed the cleaning and maintenance issues onto our cleaning manager so rest assured these issues will be dealt with in the future. Thanks for the advice about the toilet. We have booked out the week of the17th September for maintenance when we will replace it. Regarding the dogs, I have now constructed some portable fencing which can be used to make an enclosure in the garden. Hopefully that will address that issue for you. Again, apologies for the issues you faced and we look forward to welcoming you again in the near future! Property Owner

  • "The property was a lovely size and generally finished to a good standard."

    It was ideal for a break with extended family. There were some small things which would have made a big difference; there were no weighing scales in the kitchen, no shaver sockets anywhere and a first aid kit in the kitchen drawer which was far from complete. The property was listed as child friendly however the outside was certainly not as there was a retaining wall to the rear of the property with no fencing to prevent young children from falling down it. There was also a significant gap at the end of the crib wall adjacent the patio which was also dangerous, and which we had to barricade with outdoor furniture. The standard of cleanliness was quite poor with numerous dirty tissues down the side of the furniture in the main room and there was old coffee left in the coffee machine which led us not to use it and instead use the cafetière which was a shame as we bought coffee especially. On the plus side it was lovely to feel relaxed in the property and being provided with throws for the furniture for use to allow dogs on the furniture. We would definitely come back but it would be a lot better with some more secure fencing for kids and dogs.

    Thank you very much for your feedback. It's really appreciated and will help us to improve the house for other guests. This week, we fenced off the gap in the crib wall - I think the rose had died back quite significantly this year which had widened the gap but this is now safe. We have contacted the head of our cleaning team, and she has updated our cleaning checklist to specifically include the points you had mentioned. We have purchased mechanical scales so they will be available to use on your next visit. There is a shaver socket in the downstairs mirror, but we realised that this is almost impossible to find if you don't already know - we've added it to the guestbook to help future guests. We also plan to add them to the other bathrooms soon. Again, thank you for your feedback and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future Property Owner

    The house was spacious, the kitchen was large with enough space to prep meals for 16 easily. We even used the arger to cook our roast chicken as the ovens were full with everything else. The bedrooms were all very nice, the bathrooms were modern and tidy. The downstairs loo has an incredible sink. Very unique. We didn't get much chance to use the outdoor spaces, due to it being February, however the large room off the kitchen would always warm with the sun, giving a natural place for us to all congregate. The utility having underfloor heating was a nice bonus, allowed us to wash and dry clothes easily. Finally the "hidden" snug/living room was one of my favourites, out of the way of normal foot traffic, means you're very unlikely to be bothered, and the sofas were lush! I'd love one myself. The owners were very accommodating and responded quickly to any queries we had.
