We had an unforgettable stay at this charming cottage! The location was spot on, close to mountains, lakesand some lovely walks, yet still peaceful. The place itself was cosy and well-equipped, making us feel right at home. The hot tub was a real highlight, used daily after long days exploring. The owners were genuinely lovely, super friendly and helpful. Our teenagers loved it too, especially the starry nights. Truly a trip to remember!
Alexandra P.
We loved staying at this cosy cottage in a quiet village. It’s a bit small from the outside, but inside, there’s more space, including a games room which kept everyone entertained - pool, darts, DVDsand board games. The jacuzzi was a real treat! The kitchen is compact, but we found plenty of great food nearby at The Bee and Holland Arms, so booking is a must. Perfect for a relaxed break with the family. Highly recommend!

We really needed a family getawayand this place did not disappoint! The house is in such a peaceful spot, yet it's close enough to explore all the sights of North Wales. It feels like a proper home but with a bit of luxury - the hot tub was a highlight, honestly! The games room kept everyone entertainedand the owners were super friendly without being intrusive. We’ll definitely miss waking up to the lambs and bird songs. Would love to come back someday. Thanks for an unforgettable week!

We had a really lovely stay at this cosy cottage, just a quick 3-minute drive to Bodnant Gardens and perfect for peaceful walks straight from the doorstep. The secure garden was a hit, especially the private hot tub and the games room, which kept the teenagers entertained. It’s surprising how spacious it feels, even with a small kitchen. The pub nearby is super handyand the owners are really friendly, giving us plenty of privacy. A perfect quiet spot for a relaxing break in Wales!

We loved the cosy feel of the cottage, perfect for exploring local sights. The games room and hot tub were great extras, especially when the weather was a bit rubbish. Definitely recommend for a relaxing stay!
Linda
It really does live up to its name because there’s so much more space than you’d think! The kitchen is a bit small, but it has everything we neededand the fridge/freezer in the games room was a big help. The owners were lovely, really warm and friendlyand so easy going. After walking all day, the hot tub was a great treat, especially since my daughter tackled Snowdon, so it was much needed, lol. We definitely made good use of the games room in the evenings; it kept everyone entertained. All in all, a real gem and a perfect spot for exploring, especially Anglesey!
Sarah
We had an absolutely fantastic holiday at Tardis Cottage! It was such a lovely, comfortableand homely place, really quirky and charming. The back garden was perfect for sitting in and listening to the birds. Plus, the games room and hot tub were just the icing on the cake. There was plenty of parking too, making it a beautiful base for exploring North Wales.

This cottage is fantastic, packed with every amenity you could ever want! The owners are right next door, so you can easily reach them if any issues come up. Our dogs absolutely adored the garden where they could run aboutand the hot tub was just what we needed. It's in a central spot for exploring North Wales. Don't forget to check out the Welsh Farm shop just 5 minutes down the road, it's a must!

The Tardis exceeded our expectations based on the website! There was loads of space for the five of us and our two dogs, plus the lovely garden and spa were such a treat.

We had a fantastic week at The Tardis! The cottage is well equipped, clean and really comfortable. The games room and hot tub are fantastic and well maintained. It’s such a lovely place for a family holidayand we’d recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing break.
Rachel
The games room kept our children very entertained during the bad weather. We didn’t realise when booking that the owners actually live in the cottage next doorand although they tried to give us privacy and explained the garden was ours to use, we still felt a bit uncomfortable walking across to the hot tub in our swimwear and towel since it’s out of view. My dog was also quite anxious at first because the owners' dog used the garden.
Jamie
What a beautiful place! The open fire is simply fantasticand we absolutely loved our stay. The views and the entire village have a kind of peace and quiet that’s hard to put into words. We definitely recommend it!
Tom
The cottage was absolutely lovelyand the hosts were super friendly and helpful during our stay. The location was just brilliantand the village pub served excellent food! The garden was large and enclosedand having a hot tub really made our stay enjoyable. We loved it!
Lucy
A super cottage for a holiday! We were greeted by the owners who welcomed us and pointed us in the direction of everything. A lovely welcome hamper awaited in the kitchen, along with the heating already on for our arrival. The cottage is well equipped and has everything you need for your stay. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, including the equiptment for washing up afterwards (all supplied). The garden is lovelyand a hot tub awaits (don’t forget your flip flops to walk across the yard) and there’s a fantastic games room too.
