Cartrefle Reviews

Lorraine

Location couldn't be faulted - we loved the seclusion/solitude and sound of the river and birds. House is extremely comfortable with the addition of two sitting rooms suiting our needs perfectly. We used the hot tub daily, after days out to Aber Falls, Betys y Coed, LLandudno and Conwy - all places worth visiting.

Perfect place if you want peace and quiet and you love nature hot tub is a bonus.

Jenny

Property is fantastic with a very homely feel. The home is very well equipped with comfy beds and sofas. The outside area is amazing with the hot tub, fire pit area and river. Made to feel very welcome with fresh scones, cream and jam along with fresh eggs - you can buy more from the gate and the proceeds go towards the kids first tractor !

Absolutely lovely place to stay, had to message the owner a couple times for some very minor things and they got back to us very quickly. Would recommend to anyone.

Nichola

The house was beautiful, welcoming and warm. It had everything we needed. The river outside was perfect. You can open your window and hear the river. Lots of wildlife and beautiful night sky on a clear night. The little bridge you come over is a little scary but adds to being in the middle of nowhere. I loved this holiday.

Deborah

Wonderful place to stay. Very private when we went in August and leaves on trees, not overlooked at all. Everything appeared to be brand new. Couldnt suggest any improvements. Perfect for dogs. Fully enclosed huge garden (smaller dogs may get under the gate, we have two Labradors). Gate leads to river/stream, deep enough in places for dogs to swim. Beach at Abergele also perfect for the dogs. Have stayed at a number of cottages with the dogs and this was the best by far.

Shelley

Amazing location, fire pit, river, bbq, hills peace and quiet, no light pollution. Very comfortable beds and furnishings. Hot tub and fires Perfect.

This is a beautiful fishing lodge with historical interest. The location is secluded and tranquil with lots of privacy as well as peace and quiet. There is loads of space to gather with friends/family and we very much enjoyed the outdoor space including the hot tub.
