"Second time here and we will be booking again next year."
Butlers flat is in a lovely area . It is close to Erddig NT Llangollen Chirk . The flat is very comfortable and welcoming and we also played darts in the shared games room.
Thank you for your lovely review, so glad you enjoyed your stay and made use of the games room! Property Owner

"Absolutely enjoyed our stay just wished it had been longer what a fantastic place so peaceful and comfortable from walking through the big front door and the second one , passing the original kitchen and climbing the stone stairs we knew how special this place would be and it lived up to every expectation!"
Hopefully on our next visit we can book the Cooks flat as I have been told is as equally as good as the Butlers flat
Thank you for your lovely review, we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and had a peaceful time here. Please do come again! Property Owner

"Very good value for money."
Very helpful owner. The property served its purpose very well. Excellent access to all attractions we wanted to visit. Maybe a little TLC needed but nothing serious. Heating system excellent on a couple of cool days, so no need to light the fire. A pity the snooker table baize was damaged. Probably a careless previous user, and I'm sure it will be very expensive to repair. Beautiful grounds. More detailed walking routes around the grounds might have been a help but that's just nit-picking. Welcome pack very thoughtful. All round an enjoyable stay, and happy to recommend the property to anyone wanting a visit to this area.

"Outstanding property with easy access and great communication beforehand."
The place is a joy to stay at set in a beautiful area, well located to amenities, very quiet, no noise or hassle from owners, well equipped internally, good internet, easy parking, comfy bed, great kitchen and bathroom and great value for money. The place is beautiful and a real real gem. I definitely will be back like Arnie once said….

"Comfortable, clean and well-furnished accommodation in a unique location and set within attractive grounds."
I have stayed in both the Butler's and Cook's flats at this location over the last few months whilst working in the area and was equally happy with both. One small maintenance problem arose which was dealt with promptly and efficiently. Owners helpful and professional. Would recommend.
Thanks so much Gill for your bookings and I’m so glad the apartments have provided you with a comfortable place to stay whilst you have been working in the area. Property Owner

"Had a lovely few days in Butler's Flat."
Everything was provided that we could have hoped for. Great to stay somewhere so peaceful, yet accessible to everywhere we wanted to go. Chester Zoo, Blue Planet, Cheshire Oaks and Llandegla Forest Park were easy all to reach from the flat. Had a lovely walk around the estate, felt privileged to be able to wander. Will return, thankyou. Tracey and Gary

"We had a loverly time."
The location is ideal for exploring North Wales. Staying in part of a “stately” home was a special feeling. Couldn’t fault it.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay at the Butler’s Flat thanks to the welcome, the great facilities and having the run of the estate."
The only slight niggle was the bed was firmer than we are used to. Many thanks. We’d like to come back in the future.

"A relaxing place to stay, the flat was comfortable with everything we needed fir q great weekend."

"We had a lovely state at the Butler's Flat."
It's in a great location, with lots to visit nearby. The flat is well decorated and kitted out, with a good sized dining kitchen and huge bedroom. We really appreciated the smart TV, but would have liked to have a teapot. The one downside was the shower, which is fed off the bath taps. The shower head is at a fixed point high up the wall: if the user is a short person, she has to wash under a faint and pressureless trickle of tepid falling water.
Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I'll look for the teapot as there should be one in there, if it's gone walkabout we will sort that out, thank you for pointing it out. Regarding the shower, it is a handheld shower attached to the bath and so not a stand alone power shower which perhaps you are used to. If you found the hook too high perhaps you would have had an easier time by just holding it in your hand? Or enjoying a luxurious bath! We use the same water supply in the main house and there is always plenty of hot water, generated by the wood chip boiler. So glad the smart TV was useful! Property Owner

"So relaxing with everything you need for a short break."
Great surroundings, friendly people. Nice place.
Thank you! Property Owner

"A lovely stay, thank you very much."
The grounds in particular are stunning. The flat was very clean and comfortable. The only suggestion I would make would be to provide a portable heater, or have the central heating turned up (if possible), given it was rather chilly in the flat, in particular the bedroom even with the thermostat turned up. Hope to visit it again soon!
Thanks for a lovely review! I’m sorry you were a bit cold! The radiators are individually controlled but I expect you worked that out. It was a very cold week when you were here so I hope you used the real fire too as that makes the flat very cosy. We do have portable heaters that you could have borrowed if needed so I wish you had asked us during your stay! Another time! Property Owner

"A great week at a different kind of property in an apartment of a big house rather than a cottage."
The owners were very helpful when we first had to change our booking due to covid to making us welcome with the little extra's which are always nice. The property was central to some local places to visit and places to walk.
So glad you were able to make it in the end! Property Owner
-
"Really enjoyed staying here."
Well-equipped and clean and comfortable. Also very peaceful yet near lots of things to see and do! Lovely weeks holiday.
-
"Great opportunity to spend a week in a wing of this splendid country house in such a beautiful setting."
The flat was just as described, very comfortable and peaceful. We appreciate being able to see the old kitchen, enjoy the games room, and to wander the grounds. The owners were very relaxed and welcoming, and were happy for us to see the (private) front aspect of the house. All in all, a really lovely week, and we would not hesitate to visit again or to recommend.

"The Butler's Flat was exactly as it is advertised."

Everything we needed was there and with such a peaceful and beautiful setting it was an ideal place to stay.

"The bed was very comfy, the wine, milk and biscuits were a lovely touch."
One thing, however, that could have improved our stay were instructions on how to use the oven.
-
"The family were very helpful and went out of their way to fix a problem Booking."
Com caused. If you plan to book the Butlers flat I would definitely recommend. It’s in a wonderful location and the flat has most everything you could want from a short term holiday let.

"Lovely apartment in owners large estate house, very comfortable and quiet."
Everything you need for a quiet break in Wales. It’s a working estate with stables and farm plus a large herd of highland cattle wanderIng the parkland. We were there in mid summer it was unusually cold but we were very comfortable.
-
"Butler's Flat was a perfect place for our short break in North Wales."
Being allowed to explore a family estate after a day out was a privilege not to be abused. The flat itself was immaculate and a mix of modern and traditional fittings. Cefn Park was an ideal location to view places and towns we hadn't seen for years. Archie and Philippa are the perfect hosts
-
"Extremely comfortable accommodation in a beautiful property."
Walks in grounds to enjoy with friendly horses who love carrots. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-

"Butler’s Flat is a lovely apartment in a great location, lovely walks around the estate right from the doorstep."
The surrounding area has lots of attractions such as Erddig, Chirk Castle and the Llangollen canal. A very relaxing few days, many thanks.

"Stayed at Butler’s Flat for a relatively last minute 4 night break."
The flat was just as described and Cefn Park was a very peaceful location. Lovely light and airy accommodation, however, it was very cold - thankfully we were able to light the fire each day, which helped to warm the lounge but still very cold in the other rooms. Facilities were very good, kitchen well equipped, powerful shower and large screen tv and free view were very welcome. The WiFi was terrible - access was via ‘access point’, which links via a wired connection, making it very slow, dropping out frequently, especially when being used by several WiFi connections. The flat does need some tlc in places - the ‘pillows’ on the bed were just material filled with a few lumps, couldn’t be used! And the mattress topper wasn’t large enough for the bed so there was a big drop at the top. We had to use cushions for pillows! All in all an enjoyable break, easy booking, great value!

"Great last minute find for a short break."
Butlers Flat is very comfortable with nice views over Cefn park and beyond. Real log fire was a welcome treat after lovely walks around the estate. Lots of interesting info about the estate, seeing the Victorian kitchen was a bonus. Lovely place to stay would like to see it in spring and summer too.
-
"We slipped away and spent our silver wedding anniversary at The Butlers Flat."
It was home from home, so quiet and peaceful. We never got around to finding the pond or the kitchen garden sadly but would definitely stay again. Absolutely perfect!
-
"Lovely walks in grounds plus picnic and Bar BQ areas."
Close to two top National Trust properties Chirk & Erdigg. Easy access to Snowdonia,North Wales Coast, Llangollen & Dee Valley railway & aqueduct & Horseshoe Pass etc etc. Games room with full size billiard table. Cute long horn cattle & horses. Helpful staff. Good wifi. Parking. Plenty of supermarkets in Wrexham centre. Can thoroughly recommend as a touring base or relaxing peaceful locatioon. Stayed in Cooks Flat.

"Butlers Flat is very tastefully decorated clean and comfortable, and has everything you need for a holiday break."
Cefn Park is a lovely estate with countryside walks and animals, and the house is famed for its Victorian kitchen which is very interesting. The owners are very friendly and helpful. It is within easy access of Wrexham and Chester and there are many places of interest to visit in the area. This is definately where to stay for a peaceful, relaxing break and I can thoroughly recommend this property.

About the location
CEFN PARK ESTATE
Wrexham centre 2 miles; Chester 13 miles.
Situated in over 1000 acres of parkland, Cefn Park dates back to 1730, with the latest additions being built in 1910. Located on the edge of Wrexham, the largest town in North Wales, Cefn Park is also within driving distance of the historic city of Chester and many places of interest including Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a World Heritage Site. Steeped in family history linking back to Charles II and containing many artefacts from the Charge of the Light Brigade, Cefn Park in 2011 was featured on national TV and in newspapers due to the restoration of the original Victorian kitchen that had last been used during the Second World War. Today guided tours of the estate, which include a visit to the Victorian kitchen, can be enjoyed. The town of Wrexham offers a number of shops, pubs and restaurants, whilst nearby are the National Trust owned Erddig and Chirk Castle, which are well worth a visit. Chester, situated just into England offers something for everyone. From the Roman walls and amphitheatre, the wonderful Tudor ‘Rows’ and the beautiful medieval church, to the racecourse, famous zoo and walks along the River Dee, Chester has it all. Back into Wales, the stunning Snowdonia National Park is within driving distance. An ideal location for exploring North Wales, Cheshire, Shropshire, or even the island of Anglesey.
