• "We had a lovely stay at this secluded and cosy cottage."

  The host was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. Although the weather wasn't on our side, we still enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing break. One thing to note is that the roads leading to the cottage are mostly single track, which can be tricky at times. However, once you arrive, the charm of the location more than makes up for it. Overall, a great escape if you're looking for some quiet time away!

  Thank you for your kind words and although the weather was not the best for your holiday you made the most of the time to relax in our cottage. Diolch yn fawr. Property Owner

  Anwen was most welcoming and on hand for any help. The taxis around the area are hard to get so if you are wanting to venture out & about this may be an issue. Loved our little stay and would definitely return

  They were some beautiful black shiny Cows in the field nearby. Took some pictures of the spectacular sun sets. Owner very helpful and friendly.

  Thank you for you lovely comments and I agree. spectacular and peaceful sunsets to be seen and captured in your camera to remind you of your holiday during winter months. The Welsh Black cattle are always happy to be admired in the paddock. Property Owner

  If you want a peaceful holiday then this is the place to stay. It is within easy reach of so many places. Abergele, Prestatyn, Llandudno, Rhyl to name a few. Have a day out and come back and relax in the hot tub. We love it here and the hosts are lovely, friendly and helpful people.

• "Handrail to the stairs comes off the wall, as Anwen pointed out to me when she saw I have mobility issues."

  My husband discovered this twice and it should have been repaired before being let. The upstairs was spacious though we didn't need the 3 chairs, sofa and cot. The sofa bed in the lounge was horrendous to sit on and only possible if you put all cushions under the front edge. The only Windows downstairs to the back, the kitchen being windowless, were a pair of French doors... one of which has blown double glazing so there was no view out. The doors had to be open to see out and watch the rain. The Last mile and a half to the property are on very narrow single tracks with no passing places so drive with care, we had a couple of close calls Anwen was a really nice lady.

  Myself and my partner stayed for 3 nights to celebrate our anniversary, and we absolutely loved it ! The hot tub was already warm and ready for us upon arrival ! The cottage itself was lovely and has everything you need ! The shower is perfect and very easy to use. The owners Anwen and Alwyn are lovely with a great sense of humour, they clearly care about your experience and take great pride in the presentation of the property and the surrounding area. Thank you both and we will definitely be back soon !

• "Had a lovely 3 days break over the new year weekend, it was everything we needed after a hectic Christmas visiting family."

  Cottage was set in the beautiful Welsh countryside and was nice and secluded but close enough to abergele to pick up any last min bits or to have a pint in the pub (50 min walk away- and it's a lovely walk through the countryside or just a 10 min drive away). Some pubs to recommend- the Harp Inn (gorgeous quaint little pub in the middle of abergele town that serves stunning home made comfort food) and also the bull hotel (great food served here too but not as cute and cosy as the Harp). The cottage was lovely and clean and all of the basics were provided (tea, coffee, sugar, washing up liquid etc). It was very cosy and warm and the heating worked a treat in the cold weather. The only fault I would have to say was the lack of comfort provided by both the sofa and the double bed. The sofa in the living room was a sofa bed and was very old and not comfy to sit on at all - we ended up opening it out into the sofa bed but this took up all of the room in the living area so it was a bit of a squeeze. And the mattress in the bedroom wasn't the comfiest either but I guess mattress comfort is a subjective thing. It was lovely to stay on a working farm and hear the cows mooing every so often and also be visited by Anwen and Alwyns two gorgeous and gentle cats whenever we were outside. The hot tub was perfect! It was lovely and warm and ready for us to use when we arrived and was super simple to use too. We spent a lot of our time in it and it really was a great addition. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and have already recommended it to family and friends! Thanks again to Anwen and Alwyn for hosting us and we hope to be back soon.

  The owners were very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The cottage was very well maintained and we loved having the hot tub to relax in of an evening. Abergele is a short drive away for shops and pubs, also Trawlers Fish & Chip shop is very good for a chippy tea! We wouldn't hesitate in booking to stay here again if returning to the area.

• "Very welcoming owners, and cottage well equipped for a short break."

  We slept really well and loved getting up to countryside views and hearing the cows! The farm is reached by narrow country lanes but fortunately we encountered very few other vehicles. We really felt 'away from it all' . Hot tub and patio area were lovely, but it was a shame to find the windows and patio of the adjoining cottage overlooked the hot tub. And sadly the wonderful views from the hot tub were obscured by a large static caravan and fence. The cottage is really well placed for sightseeing . Check out Rob's chippy in Abergele, best fish n chips ever!

• "We had a short break at this lovely cottage."

  When we arrived we were greated by Anwen, and she immediately made us feel welcomed. We were shown around and instructed on how to use the hot tub (which was perfect and much needed). There was milk and Welsh Cakes in the fridge . Anwen was readily at hand to advise on places to visit and things to do. Everything was just perfect and we couldn't of asked for a better stay.... Mobile phones signal is not great and whilst there was WiFi is could only be picked up in the upstairs window but for us that was fine as this was a break to get away life's worries, and not having Internet to dominate our lives for a few days was a welcome change. Well recommend and hopefully we will be able to return in the future.

  Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was comfortable and clean and there was even a pint of milk in the fridge and a box of Welsh tea bags waiting for us along with some Welsh cakes too. The hot tub was a definite winner and the views were incredible. My only critique would be that the WiFi didn’t work so signal and internet connection were limited for the week, however this is a small thing that didn’t reduce our enjoyment for the week. We really enjoyed our chats with Anwen and how personable she is. Her little kittens are so cute too that we wanted to take them home with us. A real enjoyable stay and the rest and relaxation we both needed. Definitely recommend!

  We tried a dozen taxi numbers and none would come to the farm. Its a quaint cottage with lovely garden area which is overlooked by the barn occupants next door as they are higher up. The cottage had a huge bedroom which could easily accommodate a king size bed. Unfortunately it was a double and witj two large people felt uncomfortable. Unfortunately we had to leave after 4 nights as i became really unwell. We would return again as the place is tranquil and the host very kind, caring, thoughtful and friendly.

  Talked me through everything about the cottage, and also provided some info on nearby walks.

  Size of the main bedroom was very large but good space that has some adaptability if required. Although the unit is off the main areas, the peace was lovely, being right in the countryside.

Once had better understanding of the location over the week, I would use Llandudno as a going out location for food a lot of choice, there are local pubs in Abergele as well. With 4 seasons in one week, the cottage was a great hideaway and withstood the great Welsh weather.

Anwen is very welcoming and always there for you if you need her. The cottage has lots of tourist information, books to read, maps and even binoculars, so the TV provided can be kept off if wished. The highest mountains of Snowdonia are less than an hour's drive away, and the nearest coastal resorts about 20 minutes away. There are many pubs in the area providing excellent food, the one in the village did a lovely Sunday lunch. The lamb is recommended, if you can look your neighbors in the next field that is. Overall, very enjoyable for this elderly couple.
