    Water pressure is a little low for the shower but manageable. Kitchen tap needs tightening.

    A lovely space for a short stay in a cleverly converted building to maximise what it can offer.

    Had a wonderful time - great location and totally fine for the two of us - would definitely go back.

    Think it was great for two singles but is marketed for two couples and that would be cramped - only one chair and a small sofa, one small table at which to eat - with 2 chairs, and there was no clothes storage in the mezzanine bedroom. Was noisy in the downstairs bedroom as the boiler in there was on and off all night, and would have like a mirror in there. We think it should have a name or number on the property - we had to ask someone in the end as we couldn't identify it though we'd driven past a couple of times! Bit on view to passers by as table is under a large window directly on street - though we didn't mind waving to them!

    Location was great for walkers as we are - very easy to access the Clwydian Range. The village has a very fully equipped community shop, and a pub serving food, and folk are very friendly and helpful. Shower was great and the underfloor heating warmed the whole house (except the ground floor bedroom - bit chilly) even though it was only under the kitchen and bathroom. Wood burner was fab - chucked out so much heat, and the starter pack lasted us 3 evenings.

    We really enjoyed our stay and would happily book again as is. But the hosts really need to get their carpenter back as several doors "rub" on frames or the floor. The entry door was quite new but was very difficult to open and close. The kitchen was lovely but again needs fine adjustment. The fridge door wouldn't close properly because of the way the fitted doors rub together. Nothing that a decent carpenter wouldn't fix in a day.

    We loved the accommodation as a whole. The conversion from a post office has been done exceptionally well, and clearly with love, care and style. As a bonus the adjacent pub was wonderful. Everyone was welcoming and friendly (locals as well as the staff) and they served fantastic food at reasonable prices. For anyone with a dog the pub is properly dog friendly (not just tolerant). We visited three times and each time they served our dog a bowl of water before even asking what the humans would like. What an asset just 50 metres or so along the road.

    Just a couple of small things but we would have liked a microwave and also the tap needs sorting as it's very loose. On the whole all very nice though.

    The layout & location were lovely. It was great for our dog to have a safe space outside. It was a lovely & quirky house. The logburner would of been great in the colder months. The dishwasher was good & a good size fridge . The rooms were all good sizes. On the whole the kitchen facilities were good too. It was a lovely base to go out on days out & also go for walks with the dog.

    Not much worktop space. Could do with a bowl in the sink, and the taps are loose, need a little adjustment. Not really suitable for people with very young children because of the stairs but ideal for couples. Just right for us and all those people who wrote in the visitors book!

    The property and the location were wonderful. We felt really relaxed and at home in Cwtch, loved the decor and the layout (very good interior, especially liked the downstairs bedroom). My daughter was young enough to be able to access the mezzanine bedroom, dog loved having the space indoors and the grassy area outdoors. The cool floors were most welcome to our Labrador during the very hot weather. The interior was light and airy, we just loved it!

    Everything was great, the property, location, facilities, local shop, local pub served excellent food. Was around the area were stunning. Wec stayed for a family wedding a few miles away. Local taxi's were great. Aurore was very helpful. Everything was great.

    The only thing that could have made it a 10 review would be to have blinds at all windows (4am wake-up on the first night not ideal - some DIY window coverage helped) Also somewhere to hang coats. Sadly we didn't meet the hosts who may have been away - but were at the end of the phone if needed. These are picky things but would make a difference. We loved it.

    The Cwytch and it's location were great - beautiful little place snuggled in a delightful village with amazing walks on the doorstep. Great community shop in the Village Hall - everything you needed there including papers.
