An amazing place in a lovely part of Wales.

Andrea

We had a glorious time. The owners were lovely and the location was stunning. Everything was there that you could possibly think of and we enjoyed every minute of it. Couldnt recommend it enough

Elaine

For our family it was brilliant. The grandkids could make as much noise as they wanted, the dogs could bark, we were away from everyone. The hot tub was a great success, as was the wild area and river for exploring. Plenty of room in the lodge for everyone. However, dont go here if youre looking for Blackpool here, you make your own adventures, whiRead morech suited us down to the ground! Hide

Ray

Fantastic Holiday with 4 kids and a dog! Extra firewood kindly provided by the generous hosts. Comfortable and well equipped house with character!

Justyna

We had the best time, the property was stunning and so well equipped. So much thought and care has gone into it. We stayed there with small children and the property felt very safe and secured. Even when the weather wasn't great we enjoyed sitting by the river. It was everything we could have asked for and more. We will definitely go again in the fRead moreuture. Hide

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

There is the added bonus of the divine hot tub and the visiting pet sheep and lambs :). Would definitely recommend for a relax ing break.

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. Make sure you follow the directions from the owner, as property is accessed down a long track and over a bridge. A lovely spot for a quiet rural holiday.

We did love the place and the hot tub! It is a little far out from places but its also beautifully located near a river and surrounding fields! Fabulous house, big enough for all 8 of us and the dog loved the space too! Would recommend if you want some space and peace and quiet. We went out most days and enjoyed the area around us too! Good communi cation with owners and were near if needed. Loved the hot tub, clean and well serviced!

Richard

A wonderful place can't wait to go back. Lovely hosts.

The most perfect weekend away. The cottage is gorgeous and has everything you could want and need. The hosts were so kind and provided freshly baked scones for our arrival and provided dog bowls, blankets and shampoo! They really go the extra mile. All 4 bedrooms are a really generous size, there isnt one thats smaller. The bathrooms are beautifull y finished and the hot tub was the perfect end to a day exploring. Highly recommend.
