We had a fabulously relaxing stay at Riverside Cottage, loads of walks in the door step and a fab pub less than a minute walk away. Really well equipped kitchen and great garden and hot tub.
Pauline
Comfortable cottage in stunning location. So relaxing taking in the view from the hot tub and listening to the sound of the river. Very well looked after by Helen who made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. We even had sunshine all week.
David
Very clean and comfortable cottage in a peaceful spot. The weather was warm for May so we sat outside for breakfast. Our little cockapoo loved the dog proof garden. Would revisit and recommend.
Dawn
A nice cottage for three of us to stay in. The owner was really friendly and helpful and had even ensured that the hot-tub was hot for our arrival. Views from the cottage were wonderful and a lovely quaint pub is only a very short walk away. A visit to the pub is recommended. The landlord/landlady and locals in there made us feel like members of th e community.
Laura
Beautiful cottage with lovely features. Amazing views of the river and lambs from the hot tub. Lots of childrens books in the bedroom where our daughters stayed, a great addition as so many to choose from for a bedtime story! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage and our trips to the surrounding areas. Lots of lovely walks on the doorstep. Just perfect. Thanks for a great stay, we will be back!
Matt
Lovely cottage in an idyllic spot! Well situated for some serious peace and quiet, but barely 10 mins drive from the beautiful town of Llangollen with everything you could need. Lots of walks in the surrounding hills and up to Horseshoe Pass with maps kept at the property. Comfortably furnished, warm, cosy, & characterful, the owner was helpful and attentive when required. Early morning coffee in the garden with just the sound of the river flowing far below and birds singing was bliss!
