"We had a lovely relaxing stay."
Mena was such a lovely host. Nothing was to much trouble. We would definitely stay again.
-
"The cottage was beautiful and so well equipped."
We wanted for nothing (7 of us in the group) The owner was so welcoming and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble for her. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend the cottage to others.
Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to host you. Glad you enjoyed. Hope to welcome you again one day. Property Owner

We had a lovely stay and everything was perfect apart from the hot tub not working but that was not the end of the world and Mena could not have been more apologetic
Thank you for your kind words and for being so understanding about the hot tub. It was a pleasure to host you and I hope to welcome you back one day. Property Owner

"This was a wonderful property in a gorgeous location!"
The facilities were ideal and everything was exactly as listed. The host Mena was amazing! Nothing was too much trouble! She was always on hand if needed and a fountain of knowledge for the local and surrounding area! Would highly recommend anyone staying here!

"We had a fabulous 2 night stay at Tai Ucha in July for a trip to climb Snowdon."
The home was cosy, clean and had everything you could possibly need. Mena was a great host and went out of her way to make our stay amazing (including coming out late at night to sort the hot tub for us!). We would recommend Tai Ucha to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the heart of Wales. Thank you Mena and I’m sure we’ll be back!

"Lovely property on farm yard - very comfortable and Mena is lovely."
We found limited facilities locally for eating out as only open half the week - so eat while out or cater at the house, fabulous range cooker and gas bbq - then enjoy the hot tub. So peaceful - would stay again.

"A wonderful period farmhouse in a beautiful rural setting."
I guess I could wax lyrical about this cottage for more than a few sentences but I will restrain myself! Open the door and you are greeted with a very well appointed and spotlessly clean home. No tired looking furniture, dated kitchen or amenities here! Everything was of a very high standard. So nice to find included, a welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and biscuits, even logs for the log burner. Small things that make such a good impression. In my opinion holiday cottage rentals cannot get better than this. Thank you Mena for understanding what people want when renting a home from home at a reasonable price! I’m sure it’s one we will wish to stay at again at some future date.
Thank you very much for your extremely kind review - very much appreciated. It was a pleasure to host you and I'm glad you enjoyed. Property Owner

"We've recently come back from a wonderful weekend away at Tai Ucha."
We were a group of ladies enjoying a weekend celebrating a birthday and Tai Ucha delivered everything we needed! The cottage is beautifully kept and very clean, it had everything we needed (all kitchen utensils and utilities). We had the added pleasure of beautiful weather meaning the outdoor space and hot tub was used all weekend, which was also maintained throughout our stay. Meena is a lovely host and her communication from the moment we booked was fantastic. I was able to ask all sorts of questions and she responded within 24hrs (usually straight away) with recommendations and advice. Cerrigydrudion is a quiet village but the pub, The Saracens Head, that was recommended to us for food, did not disappoint. An overall superb weekend and we would not hesitate to book again with Meena. Thank you from all of us!
Thank you very much for your kind words - glad you enjoyed. It was a pleasure to host you all. Hope to see you again one day Property Owner

"A fabulous house in a fantastic location."
The house is lovely, big enough for two families. The kids loved the hot tub after our long walks. On arrival, milk and biscuits were left for us as well as tea bags and sugar. The location is great for walks and for Snowdon. Mena the host very very welcoming, she also gave us some great recommendations for what to see in the area that were not touristy. Thank you so much for having us!
Thank you for your kind words - it was a pleasure to host you all. Glad you enjoyed. Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage located on a working farm."
Hot tub was a pleasure. Local cats were super friendly and a joy to wake up to in the mornings. Location is convenient for Snowden and zip world experiences. Property was very clean and fully equipped. We had a lovely four days at this property and would gladly return.
Thank you for your kind feedback. Very much appreciated. Glad you had a nice weekend. Looking forward to welcome you again one day. Property Owner

"We had a lovely long weekend at the cottage."
The goodies the owner left us was a kind gesture. The cottage was very well equipped and had everything we needed and considering we were a party of 7 adults was very spacious. The hot tub was great and we all enjoyed days and evenings spent in it. We would have loved to use the open fire which is a lovely feature, but as the weather was surprising hot for October we had no need to. Would highly recommend this cottage.
Thank you for your kind feedback. Very much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed. Property Owner

"What can I say!"
! We had a fantastic time. From the cottage being clean and tidy with beds made to the quietness around us. The hot tub was a fantastic place to unwind. Clean on our arrival and just the perfect temperature. Open fire crackling away of a evening was also a highlight of ours to the snug room that the children went to chill and watch tv. Would highly recommend to visit and stay for anyone looking for a tranquil peaceful getaway with or without children.. we was a party of 7. This included 2 adults and 5 children ages 3-12 Would definitely book again. Many thanks to the owner Mena who was only a phone call away and managed to meet her as we was leaving.
Thank you for your kind feedback, so glad you enjoyed. Lovely to have been able to meet you just before you left. Hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

"We were impressed with Tai Ucha throughout."
The place was immaculate on arrival. We had a nice welcome plate with tea, coffee, milk and treats. There’s a lovely outside space, a spacious and well equipped modern kitchen, the snug and lounge are cosy and comfortable. Having 2 spaces was a bonus with the kids. Upstairs the bedrooms were comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. The Bathrooms were large, clean and modern. There was a selection of games to entertain us during our typical British Summertime stay. The hot tub was great, the kids enjoyed by day and the grown ups in the eve. Mena was an attentive host, she was in touch a few times over our stay and I would recommend her to anyone considering a stay. The area is amazing. So beautiful with lots of options for activities. This was our first visit to North Wales and we’d love to come back.
So glad you enjoyed your time at Tai Ucha. Thank you for your lovely comments. Hope to welcome you again one day. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay."
The house is very quirky with lots of rustic features. 7 of us stayed and the house was big enough for us all to fir in comfortably. Everything we needed for our start was already provided. The house is situated on a working farm I'm the middle of nowhere so it was peaceful waking up to the sounds of nature. The owner was always on had to help if needed. Overall we had a lovely stay I would definitely recommend it.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. It was a pleasure to host you and thank you for leaving the house clean and tidy. So glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"Whilst we would have preferred to have been nearer to Snowdon, the cottage and hosts were excellent and made for an extremely enjoyable weekend."
The area is still lovely and we were also very fortunate with the weather. The property is very roomy and has a great feel to it. At the end of a busy day, the hot-tub is ideal to help relax and is plenty big enough for four in comfort. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property if the area suits and can highly recommend the nearby Crown Pub, which is a short drive away via the B5105.
Thank you for your kind feedback- it was a pleasure to host you. So glad you enjoyed. Property Owner

"Tai ucha is a beautiful house on a working farm."
We loved it here. Beautiful views. North wales is also so beautiful we can’t wait to go back. Mena was so helpful she put a cot and high chair up for my son. And gave us information about all the local facilities. We would 100% come back here
-
"Lovely property set in a rural location."
Mena was a great host from leaving milk and biscuits for us on arrival to resolving a small issue we had with the heating system. Family thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Hot tub was well used. Regards

"We had a family holiday in this property at the beginning of August."
The house itself was beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. We were a party of 7 adults and there was plenty of room for us in the house. The kitchen was spacious and it was also useful having 2 lounges - one where we could relax and read and the other for those who wanted to watch TV. An added bonus was the hot tub which was used every evening – fabulous. The location was excellent as well and there was plenty to do in the area. We were able to explore castles on the coast, Snowdonia and the excitement of the Forest Coaster at Betws-y-Coed. Would definitely recommend this property!
-
"Absolutely stunning location and everything was perfect."
Mena and her family could not have been more friendly and helpful!
-
"Brilliant! It is very private, lovely setting."
Middle of nowhere but that's the point! Nice yard for chilling out, but no real garden (ie for kids running around, ball games etc) Next to a working farmyard so not the quietest but no problem. Two very friendly yard cats, but knew they weren't allowed inside. Lovely inside, lots of space and very comfy. We had 8 guys for a stag do and brought a few double airbeds, no problem. Barbeque is more of a paella pan on on gas, and could have more frying pans, but otherwise well equipped. Host was lovely and topped up the hot tub when we had an overflow (just about fit 8 fully grown [very friendly] men, which is impressive).
-
"House was really nice spacious comfortable and cozy."
Host went the extra mile with the milk and biscuits as well
-
"The perfect place to relax and tour the surrounding area."
The house has everything you could need and is in a brilliant spot. I would highly recommend. We will be booking again in the future.

"6 sisters spending valuable time together and celebrating the Birthday of one of us."
We had a wonderful long weekend at Tai Ucha. It is a beautiful house, very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Mena made us very welcome and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay. She was on hand without being intrusive in any way. Many thanks.
-
"What a fabulous holiday cottage!"
So clean, well equipped and the most attentive hosts, nothing was too much trouble. The hot tub was a hit with the whole family and we also really enjoyed the log fire. We loved the area, it was so peaceful but also such a lovely area to drive around when heading out for the day. The highlight for our youngest daughter was the farm cats who were very friendly and came by several times each day. Thank you so much for the most perfect holiday!
-
"Tai Ucha, is an excellent place to stay, the owner (Mena), is a wonderful person, very kind and considerate."
The Cottage was very well planned out clean and very comfortable with all of the amenities that we needed, I was particularly impressed by Mena who suggested many exiting places to visit while we were there without this we would have been a little lost as we had never been to this part of North Wales before. My whole family enjoyed our stay, I would recommend anyone to stay there if your in the area. My sincere thanks to Mena for making our stay a very pleasurable experience
-
"We loved our stay at Tai Ucha."
The house was immaculate and very comfortable. It is conveniently located for lots of activities in Snowdonia, after which the hot tub is a welcome way to relax! Mena is a lovely host and we had a very warm welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

It's clean comfortable and the light burner is a bonus. Mena was so helpful and she made sure our stay was perfect. We will definitely book again. Thank you.
-
"An amazing property that was very cozy."
Had everything we needed and more. A good size kitchen where we could easily cook a decent meal for our big group and sit down and enjoy it. We got cozy in the snug and the living room. When we ran out of wood the lovely owner was more than happy to drop more off. Speaking of the owner she was amazing. Very welcoming and gave us all the local knowledge we needed to get by. If your a cat lover then the farm cats will be there to great you as well.

"We had such a lovely time at Tai Ucha."
The place was so clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Nothing was too much for the host, we had privacy but we knew she was there for us incase we needed anything.

"Tai Ucha is a great family cottage."
There isn’t much we could fault to be honest. Mena is a wonderful host and she provided a lot of helpful tourist information for us. The only downside was we couldn’t stay for longer. If you are looking for a family cottage in North Wales, then look here. You won’t be disappointed.

"Exceeded all expectations from the moment we arrived - forgot a couple of bits which were delivered ten minutes later."
Beautiful setting on the farm, we didn’t hear a thing all the time we were there. Lovely quality, well thought accommodation which felt more like a home than a rental. Everything was completely spotless and nothing was too much trouble. Great location to travel between Zip World activities and also not far to travel to Black Rock beach. Hot tub was great at the end of a long day and nice and warm on arrival. We will definitely return again for another very relaxing break.
-

Mena, the host was so accommodating and made our stay most enjoyable. A lovely house with everything we needed. It was in a great location - lots to do and see nearby.

Lovely clean well equipped cottage in a peaceful area need a car to get about if you want to do sightseeing but if not a relaxing holiday property has everything u need for a home for home experience and the hot tub adds the extra touch enough room for everyone also out door space good for kids to play excellent host definitely recommend holiday here
-
"We had an amazing time."
The cottage was perfect, extremely well equipped and a great location (close enough to do lot of different sight seeing things yet set in an extremely peaceful location). If you think there may be some noise because it is on a working farm this is not the case at all, it's extremely quiet and we were not disturbed once by any noises on the farm. The owners are fantastic. They really went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic stay and that we had all that we needed. On our last day they even showed us and our children the farm and we got to meet 2 calves. We could not have asked for more. The hot tub is an added bonus and we enjoyed using it every day (a great way to unwind after a busy day). I would definitely recommend and cannot wait to return in the near future.
-

-
"We were privileged to be the first family to stay at the Farmhouse it is beautiful place and very clean and although on a working farm it was very quite we didn’t hear anything."
We stayed with four of our children and the Farmhouse accommodated us with everything we needed as a family we couldn’t fault anything. It is set in a fabulous location with two beautiful lakes next to you only 5 minute drive and access by car to lots of beautiful locations near by. The owners are really helpful and can’t do enough to make sure you have a pleasant stay, I will definitely be booking here again and would recommend this holiday home to anyone.
