The free round of drinks at the local community pub good food and shop there as well was almost as well received as the facilities inc 2 hot tubs and a high quality games roomarcade machine If there wasnt a million other places to visit in the uk, wed definitely be back! Thank yoy

Elaine

What an amazing property! Pictures dont do it justice. It was fantastic to be away from all the busy stress of life and enjoy some quality time with friends. The hot tubs and sauna were awesome, and definitely helped to make our trip. The dogs absolutely loved the field! Thanks Eryl for your hospitality during our stay. We also really recommend eating at the local pub The Glan Lyn Inn fantastic food and service, plus a great little community shop next door. Beautiful surroundings and peacewhat more could we want!

A very well equipped, clean cottage overall. Our family of 12 adults loved the space and facilities. The two hots tubs were ideal for a large party and very clean. Games room is a great addition and kept us busy for hours. The owner Mr Williams is very friendly and made sure we had settled in and all was well with our stay. I would definitely recommend and we are looking to return in the future.

Christal

We had a fabulous week at the farm house, this was an ideal house to bring our family, with so much room not to be on top of each other, plenty of games and things to do to suit everyone at the house, with tournaments all week on the original games machine. It is well equipped and very comfortable but also plenty to do in the area with walks from the house. The local community pub serves good food. We hope to be back to the house in the future. Big thanks to our host, Errol who caught up with us through the week to ensure everything was OK.

Wonderful holiday home. Had 13 members of family, from 83 to 4 years old. Loads of space and equipment for all. Helpful owner and welcome pack. Bit remote on working farm, but positives outway downside. Only one issue, had to empty 1 jacuzzi due to scum. Filters were V old and full of goo. Wish we had done 2nd, might be filled with clean water, but needs to be scrubbed and filters changed.

We had a great time at the farmhouse, we were a group of 12 aged from 81 down to 3. We found it very comfortable and lots of space for us all. The facilities were well thought out and of high standard, one of the better holiday homes we have stayed at. Would recommend it highly.

This place is amazing 17 of us went for my 70th birthday aged 15 to 70! Had a couple small issues that were soon solved by the owner..it was spotless when we arrived and equipped with everything u could possibly need. The games room was well used as were the hot tubs..we had mixed weather so the outside area was a godsend..when we wernt off exploring we were outside bbqing or playing games or hot tubbing..would definitely recommend...just 1 small thing it says there is outside parking for 5 cars but we took 7 and there was plenty of room for more!!!!

The home owner was a very friendly and helpful person. He left a welcome hamper in the fridge full of Welsh goodies, the best one weve ever had. We took a paddling pool for our younger members which we first filled with hot water from the outside tap and then cold water from the tap next to it, never had that before either. Brilliant facility. The games room was well used. The arcade table was also brilliant. The bbq was a total hit so much so our son wanted to buy it! The children were fascinated by the farm machinery and the farm work going on around us another added bonus. What stops it being a 5 star is the one hot tub which we used, near the sauna, had not been cleaned before our arrival as stated in the listing. Some of the showers were cobwebbed and mouldy. I know Mr Williams would expect his cleaning team to ensure this work is done. One of the drinks fridges was not working, which for a large party of 17 was a bit of an inconvenience. The men discovered it was a loose connection but obviously a qualified electrician needs to sort that. The outside door nearest the kitchen was not easy to lock so maybe notes about its quirk of the key being in the right position might be useful. We class these as minor adjustments to be addressed and they wouldnt stop us booking the farm again. We relaxed, we visited places and we enjoyed the time and space that the farmhouse gave us as a family. Thank you, Mr Williams.

et Dorothy

This is a great place to stay the house is comfortable and the outdoor covered area with the hot tubs and the two acre dog field made this a very enjoyable visit. The owner could not be more helpful and immediately resolved any issues.

On the whole we had a fabulous time with lots of laughs. However i would say it needs a little TLC throughout the house and a better description on where the games room is situated.

Elaine

We felt really comfortable and at home. It suited all of us all ages, all interests, all needs. Mr W couldnt have been more welcoming or helpful. Providing sledges for the children all over 25! was a stroke of genius and much appreciated for an unforgettable birthday celebration. We hope to be back.

Christine

Such an amazing , peaceful and tranquil place . Everything you may need is there . Nothing is to much bother for the owner , such a lovely man . Would definitely go again

Colleen

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to booking again in the future

Alison

Fantastic house and facilities. Beds are super comfy and the living rooms. We had a great time and the house is great for a large family to enjoy. Very remote so quiet . The attached field for the dogs was great for the dogs and kids to play. Kids loved seeing the animals on the farm, have already asked if we can go back. Only negatives.. The kitchen had dirty pots been out back in cupboard but were soon washed. and 1 of the ovens didn't work but we didn't cook much in the home. This didn't put us off at all. Been a great weekend Thank you

Very comfortable beds and pillows. We had a great time and loved the games room, hot tubs and sauna amazing. The owner was very friendly and helpful

Nice venue for a large family gathering, suitable for all ages. Owner very helpful. Nice welcome basket of local goodies provided. Some areas need a bit of TLC, but understandable after pandemic. We had a great week. Thankyou!!

Dhanesh

I loved it,,,,, good time in the middle of a farm,,,, relaxed,,,, no stress from the busy world. .... Very good place. Calm and quite,,, off road driving experience.... Good farm house experience

I would give our experience at the cottage 10 out of 10 . The facilities were excellent and met all our needs . There were 17 of us and there was plenty of space to not feel on top of each other. We took advantage of the in house catering that was available, and have to say the quality of the food was excellent and I would highly recommend it.

Karley

The property is huge much bigger than we were expecting from the photos. Set in a beautiful location with lots of exploring to be had. The farmer was so friendly and even arranged to take us and the children in to see his lambs. We had a great time and will definitely look to book again.

Denise

Fantastic place lovely and clean brilliant accommodation we thoroughly enjoyed ... Fantastic place lovely and clean brilliant accommodation we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here hot tubs were very well kept would definitely recommend and would be more than happy to come again Owner was very nice and helpful the whole experience was great

We had an amazing time, all 14 of us with varying ages from 3 up to 70. There was a lot of things to entertain from a games room to a PS3 with games. The wifi is not very good but that makes for a closer holiday. The house itself is very spacious and the ground floor room was brill for my daughter and her husband with 2 young children. There are 2 log burners but you never need them with the underfloor heating. Would definitely recommend it and hope to come back one day. Eryl the owner is a very pleasant man who can't do enough for you. The hot tubs and sauna got some good use, as did the barbeque. All in all we came home very relaxed. John Gina and family.

Robert

We had a great family gathering at the cottage. Eryl Williams the owner was very helpful with any enquiries we had and he came to the cottage to great us immediately we arrived. The cottage is huge and accommodated 16 of us quite adequately. All of our party thoroughly enjoyed our stay which made it all the more special as we celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary with our family. We would highly recommend this venue for large gatherings it is perfect for large groups. The hot tubs were a great hit with all those that ventured outside considering it was February.

The owner and the property was fantastic. The listing details need updating as there were more beneficial additions than listed. Its time for Sykes to provide as a matter of policy broadbandwifi capability as whilst the property had a connection it was unusable to a member of our group who needed to work. There should be clarity what connection speed is achievable. This is not a property exclusive issue, weve found the same problem several times when booking rural properties. Otherwise, this was a great break with a caring owner providing a great property.

ie Ann

Fabulous sized property that we had a brilliant weekend away in for my husbands 60th birthday. Lots of room and things to do for 4 children aged 2 to 11. Great area for dogs to have a run around too. Well equipped kitchen and dining room. Not a criticism at all, but could do with some information on where to leave recycling and bins. Could have done with not having them stored in the kitchen. The family staying in the bedroom next to the games room said there were quite a few flies in there and in the games room. not sure if this is a regular thing or weather related maybe!!!! Parts of the property are a little bit 'tired' and could do with tidy up lick of paint outside area by hot tubs but would definitely love to stay again. Everywhere looks a little better in the sunshine, so maybe a summer stay next time!

Great relaxing weekend away. The house was large enough to accommodate 15 people and 4 dogs, there was plenty of space for the dogs and humans to run around!! The owner was in touch and to hand if any problems also the local pub The Glen Llyn was a bonus!!!

Yvonne

The property had excellent facilities, particularly the bedrooms all being ensuite. All the communal areas were comfortable and large enough for everyone to sit together. The property was very private and the 2 hottubs were excellent. It stated wifi, but we had no wifi access all the time we were there. There were a couple of faulty items in the kitchen. We did inform the owner. This did not detract from us having a great stay at the property, and we would definitely stay there again.

Lesley

The property is what I would describe as rustic. We would definitely book again for a large group 11 adults, 5 children, 2 dogs. The hot tubs and sauna were fab and there was a field for the dogs to run in. The children loved seeing the cows in the barn. The community shop and pub were great. The WiFi is okay, not the best but youre in the middle of nowhere, its a welcome break from technology, the children had a ball playing hide and seek in the huge cottage. We were even lucky enough to see shooting stars. If youre looking for somewhere for a large group that doesnt cost the earth this is it, value for money.

Malini

Loved all the facilities, but the kitchen could have been cleaner and a little more attention to the general cleanliness like the cobwebs, dead flies and insects and marks on the wall that could easily be wiped off. Eryl was great came and changed the hot tub water midweek as it had changed colour and we needed a few extra towels which he provided promptly. the location is prefect for a true relaxing get away. The ensuite bedrooms are excellent as everyone is comfortable. We were all different age groups so loved the fact it had two hot tubs, a sauna, pool and table tennis table and an arcade games machine. The internet needs to be better which was not necessarily a bad thing as it gave us all a chance to escape the modern day .

Valerie

Cottage wasn't very clean on arrival, we had to clean before we could settle. The windows were also very dirty and a few housekeeping jobs that were required. The newish hot tub did not have any filters installed. After a few days the water was getting really dirty. We found the filters sealed up in the cupboard. We had to empty the tub, install filters, refill then all was fine with the tub. The games machine was fun. We spent quite a bit of time on it reminiscing on the old arcade games. Table tennis and pool kept the children entertained. The house was nice and big, beds were comfortable. However, it was pretty noisy in the morning with it being a working farm and a few flies kept sneaking in the house.

Shannon

The cottage is better than described and shown in pictures. each bedroom has a bathroom including a shower and were all very spacious, which was appreciated as there was 8 adults, 2 teenagers and a dog! the outdoor area is covered so you can go in the hot tub when its raining and use the bbq. Eryl was super friendly and came to introduce himself and brought cake from the local farm shop. the pub that is in the village is lovely and very good value for money. we would 100 come back here.

Charlotte

We visited this cottage as a family of 10 covering 4 generations and there was something to do for everyone! The facilities are exceptional, some of us spent the night in the hot tub, whilst others played table tennis and pool and some just chilled out and had one too many drinks! The house is immaculate and all the bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable. it was lovely to all have our own en suite too as it made it feel a little more private in the evening when we were done socialising for the day. The property is located on a farm, my niece loved this as she enjoyed seeing all the cows and sheep around. The building it's self is beautiful and very secluded which we enjoyed. It is quite a trek to the nearest town, Ruthin.. and it takes a bit of time to get properly into Snowdonia from here. But for the facilities of the property and the secluded location, we thought it was worth the drive! Would highly recommend this property for a family holiday!

Jennifer

Amazing location and great spacious cottage. Wonderful week away with my family.

Graham

Had a fantastic time at the cottage, eryl was very helpful and approachable. had a great time despite the weather

Kayleigh

Home from an amazing weekend at the bigger of the two cottages. I booked the cottage for my 30th birthday weekend. 12 of us stayed and there have been no complaints. The cottage is so big that we were never on top of each other. Each bedroom has its on ensuite which is perfect for 12 girls! Hot tub and sauna are lovely additions. It is a bit off track and quite a way from ruthin but if you drive its only 15 minutes. Only thing I would say is the reception isnt great and the wifi is very hit and miss. There also isnt anything for music like a speaker but easy enough to take yourself! Will definitely be returning!

Absolutely perfect place for a group of us after walking the 3 peaks fantastic house and extremely comfortable, great host who was very welcoming and helpful when we needed! 1 night wasnt long enough!

Everything was excellent and Eryl, the owner, couldnt have been more welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended

Jessica

Just what we needed. Loved it perfect place to relax

We had a lovely weekend, the cottage has all the aminites you could wish for. I particularly liked the two Woodburners, they make for a cosy winter Break. Eryl was a great host. We made use of both the sauna and hottub. All the bedrooms are lovely and it is a real bonus that each one has an ensuite. We have already booked to go back next year, thanks

Eryl who owns the property was very welcoming and helpful nothing was too much trouble and the farmers on this working farm couldnt have been nicer with adults and children.

Gaynor

Very friendly, helpful owner. Lots of space and plenty of bedrooms in the cottage. The hot tub particularly brilliant sauna and games room, although table tennis table a bit wobbly, are great assets to this cottage. Wifi and phone signal very intermittent, but this was expected considering we were in a rural area. The only complaint about the cottage is that we felt a couple of the bathrooms mould on the ceiling, flies in the lights, tiles could have been cleaner in downstairs bedroom's ensuite, could have been cleaner. You do need to be prepared to drive , which we were to get to places, but there is a great deal to do. We couldn't fit everything in that we wanted to do great area for dogs. Most places very dog friendly. A very good week overall.
