Red Kite House Reviews

Paula
A perfect setting, with the most panoramic views from The Red Kite cottage, this was the more private we felt of the three cottages. Lovely to see the birds in the morning on the bird table. The hot tub was amazing and of a good standard and what a view. The cottage was perfect but as the weather was good we didnt spend much time in it, didnt have Read moreto use the log burner which was a shame but just too warm. Gail and Jerry the perfect hosts, very friendly and approachable, unforgettable memories. Hide
Sonal
We would highly recommend this property. Gail and Jerry are nothing but lovely. Very welcoming from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Helpful L in recommending places to visit according to our interests. Beautiful surroundings and a delightful cottage to stay in. The hot tub was a real bonus. Inside was immaculate and they had catered fo r everything you could think of for a relaxing stay. Cannot thank Gail and Jerry enough for creating an idyllic place for us to have unwound.
Darren
Red Kite (The Dairy) Cottage is one of three cottages set in a ideal location with amazing views, We were welcomed with gifts on arrival (lovely touch) Red Kite Cottage is very spacious, well equipped, spotlessly clean and finished to very high standard, we especially enjoyed the hot tub, log burner and games room. We would highly recommend these C ottages and Gail & Jerry are the perfect hosts. Many thanks! Darren & Jane
Debra
We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location, immaculate accommodation & it felt homely too. Great location for touring the many delights of North Wales. Ran out of time, rather than things to do! Loved both the hot tub & games room - an added bonus to our stay. Would love to return.
Phillip
The cottage was delight, beautifully equipped and in a lovely location. Gail and Jerry are very helpful. We use the hot tub and games room every day and really enjoyed our stay there
Emma
Wow, what a beautiful 5 star place to stay. Absolutely loved our stay and did not want to go home. All the extra touches made it home from home and easy. Definitely would stay again and recommend it to all. Attention to detail was much appreciated.
Heather
We had a really lovely time. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area, thanks for having us
Paul
Lovely cottage and location. Made to feel very welcome, would definitely recommend.
Steven
Lovely cottage in a wonderful, very peaceful setting. We enjoyed the views over the surrounding countryside and loved relaxing in the spacious living area. There are some good cafes nearby but you have to travel a bit further to get to a supermarket; several of the big supermarkets will deliver to the cottage though. Would stay here again if I was planning another trip to North Wales.
Dilara
A beautiful quiet location, we thoroughly enjoying our short break.
Susanna
Wonderful, home from home. Setting is beautiful as is the cottage. The hosts are very welcoming and approachable, we have had a lovely holiday exploring North Wales.
Vicki
Lovely location to explore North Wales and all it has to offer. Beautiful garden to sit in and have a cuppa and admire the scenery.
Andy
Absolutely stunning property and location. Fantastic home from home. The house was very well equipped and the welcome gifts a lovely touch. The kids (and grown ups!) loved the games room and spent many happy hours in there too. So much to see and do in the area - highly recommended stay.
Kenneth
Very nice place with easy reach to visit places of interest
Robert
Absolutely top-notch. Booked way back in 2019, we ended up waiting 2 years to actually get to stay in our 'holiday home' courtesy of Covid... but it was worth it! The accomodation is beautiful, spacious, clean, comfy and very accomodating. The games room was also a very welcome bonus, with plenty of fun for all. The owners have clearly put a huge a mount of time and thought into their holiday lets, with plenty of 'finishing touches' both inside and out. Highly recommmended. :-)
Martin
Unbelievable place to stay, the cottage is well looked after and the owners were absolutely superb - cannot fault our stay, we only wish it was for longer.
Casey-Jean
Beautiful cottage with stunning views. Had the most amazing time. Well equipped and more than enough space for a family of 6. Gail was an amazing host and made sure everything was perfect. Would love to come back again.
