    House was lovely and quaint, we had a great weekend. hot tub needed extra chlorine as water was murky after use. A pergola over the hot tub would be a great for when it rains - little suggestion x

    Only advice to make access better would be a handrail down main steps to cottage. Although there was easier access through gate to adjoining cottage.

    Warm pleasant welcome from Helen. Lovely , cosy and clean.

    T he heating is on all the times so it gets warm but you can turn each individual radiator down or off . The bathroom radiator was noise sound like it was filling up and was loud

    The views from the cottage where outstanding and sitting in the log fired hot tub looking over the countryside was so relaxing . beds where comfy and there was a well stocked kitchen with kitchen equipment etc

    Immaculate and delightful holiday home

    Nothing we didn't like. Only tiny thing would be that we couldn't find the thermostat to turn the heating down but in all honesty we could have looked more or asked the host.

    Our property keys were in a lock box situated at the back of the property - the host (Helen) was very apologetic that she could not meet us in person but this wasn't a problem at all as the code for the lockbox and other necessary information was provided well in advance so we had no issues. I stupidly put the wrong postcode into the satnav but if you do it right the first time you have no issues at all! The property was immaculate - one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed. It is secluded, which is what we wanted - unfortunately the local pub right outside was closed for refurbishment but we did a 5 minute drive to Horseshoe Falls and walked along the canal into the town of Llangollen and stayed there for the afternoon/evening. The property had all amenities you could need, plenty of cooking equipment and utensils and board games to boot. It was very comfortable, clean and we would return in the future - highly recommend.

    For 2 nights stay it was rather expensive! There was no, tea, coffee, milk! We have stayed in lots of different self catering properties, but have never been to one that has had no tea, coffee or milk, after a long drive it would have been most welcome! No shops close by, however there is a small pub within around a 10 minute walk. The steps outside the property are rather steep and unsteady with no hand rail.

    The cottage is set in a beautiful location and is very pretty, a stones throw from Llangollen perfect for what we needed, if peace and tranquility is what you are looking for then this definitely is the place, lots of lovely walks and bike rides close by!

    Superb property! Travelled as a group of 5 friends, and this cottage was just lovely. Clean, well maintained and well equipped with everything needed to enjoy the stay. Beds were very comfortable, views were beautiful and the sound of the river was so relaxing. Ideal location too- far away enough for the peace and quiet but only 10 minutes drive to the local town. Communication with the host was also great, very pleased overall.

    Hard to say. A bigger bbq would be great, as we spent every evening cooking outside but there was a pizza oven too, so no lack of outdoor cooking options!

    The cottage is in excellent condition, with stylish decor, really comfortable beds and the views were magical, not to overlook the gentle sound of the river in the background, which I think has been mentioned in every review.

    Nothing we didn’t like, the cottage is beautiful. The local pub is closed at the minute which is a shame as means that you need to take the car or a taxi if you wish to eat out or go for drinks. This is obviously outside the hosts control and didn’t affect our stay at all.

    Beautiful location, serene setting, fenced garden making it ideal for pets and children, comfortable beds and homely living area. Friendly owners who are accommodating and keen to make sure you have a great stay. Helen even drove to meet us when we had left some pyjamas behind. Thank you so much.

    There was nothing I didn't like and nothing to fault. If only all cottages were like this.

    It was brilliant! The house was amazing. The facilities were excellent. The location was beautiful. It was the prefect blend of stylish and comfortable. The owner was accommodating and helpful. It had everything you could ever need, including an extensive library for all ages. I can't wait to stay there again, and enjoy the other three seasons in this fantastic cottage. Thank you for a perfect break.
