The Oaks Reviews

Joanne
This property is the best we have stayed in so far, exceeded all of our expectations. The Hot Tub was serviced daily, discreetly by the owner which gives confidence to use the Tub. A lovely comfy bed with super soft bedding, plenty of towels and a well equipped kitchen. I cant fault this property at all excellent location for access to shops, restaurants etc and ideally located for walkingcycling etc.
Excellent property. ...clean, well maintained and well equipped. The owners were unobtrusive and very helpful when required exceeding expectations. Would certainly return if looking for somewhere to stay in the area. Price is at maximum level I would be prepared to pay though.
Had such a lovely stay at The Oaks. It is a beautiful place with everything in there that you need. It was absolutely spotless and we loved the style too. Easy and clear instructions to collect key and very attentive owners who are only a text or knock on the door away should you need any help. It is a 2 minute walk away from the lovely little town of Llangollen. The hot tub was one of the best we have used. Enough enclosed space outside for our two dogs and plenty of places for walks around for them too. We have already said on our car ride home we will definitely stay here again. Thanks for an amazing stay.
A fabulous self catering accommodation, which had everything you could ask for. Lots of nice touches to make you feel at home and a bonus to be able relax in the hot tub, which was well maintained. Parking on site and a short walk into town with lots of local walks and activities nearby. We did find it was best to book in advance for an evening meal out.

Connor
Lovely little property, on the owners grind but we never felt that our privacy was being invaded. In fact we never even saw the owners so that shows how private it was! Great location for exploring north wales and the hot tub was amazing to soak in after a long day walking. Would definitely recommend.
Silvana
Fabulous cottage,very comfortable and brilliant location.
The Oaks is a lovely, modern holiday home suitable for a couple. It's in a great location, only a 5 minute walk from the town. The hot tub is bliss after a day's walking in the nearby hills.
