  This has been the third occasion that we stayed at this property, and there have been some upgrades since we last stayed.

  With a beach shack installed in the back garden, my boy spent loads of time in here watching TV and playing games. A hot tub has also been installed which was great we were able to relax in here at the end of a long day. The house is great you have a well designed functional kitchen with loads of storage space, a big American fridge freezer and a utility room off this with a washing machine and dryer. Upstairs you will find 4 good sized bedrooms with the master bedroom having it's own en-suite. One of the things that I liked about the bedrooms was the amount of storage that was available, there are full sized wardrobes in all of the bedrooms and sets of drawers in two of them as well. This means you can unpack everything, put it away and you're not living out of your case for a week. Outside is a big garden, with a raised patio area including a fire pit. There is also gated access at the rear of the property straight out on to a path that leads down to the beach. This was great for us as the dog loves the beach as do the kids, this was literally a 2 minute walk. In the winter months there is sometimes a close gate at the beach entrance but if you look just to the right there is a sandy path leading up and around this. The communal areas are great too, with the living room having a big TV and lots of seating and the dining room off this with plenty of seating too. There are two small supermarkets within walking distance (Co-Op and Spar) as well as a gregs. If you walk up the beach you will find yourself at Prestatyn Leisure Centre, the have a little bar here too which is great if you fancy a bit of a walk and want to stop for a drink, they also serve food, but check the opening times. This is a great place to spend a week away, it's like a home from home, I would definitely recommend.

  Lovely comfortable house however a few things certainly not to luxury standard ….

  . Most kitchen utensils needed cleaning again, for example egg flip/kitchen turner still had food on it, yuk, as did the whisk and some cutlery!!! Cutlery was grubby, spoon tray was stained but easily cleaned(by ourselves), grill shelf (not tray) greasy & no egg cups and a distinct lack of glasses considering the house sleeps 8. Great idea to have an extra fridge but the handle is snapped so is a pain to open. Old pair of socks (not ours) found in ground floor bedroom drawers and thrown away!! (Rather nasty!!) Nice house but would never return and not to a “luxury” standard, more like posh Hoseasons. Just as a side note whilst the house is very comfortable the ground floor bathroom (size of a cupboard) is at the other end of the house to the ground floor bedroom which is not really a problem but not ideal and probably due to the limitations of conversion of an old farmhouse. It’s a nice standard of living that the house now enjoys with some lovely views. The outside space at the secluded end is very nice. Sykes photos do show the sides of the converted stables/cattle sheds which other people holiday in, they are very close to the front door of this house. If you’re looking for seclusion it’s not for you. Internet wifi when available was good but was not reliable, perhaps just coincidence that it was often not available during poor weather if this is important to you. 3/4G service is good. TV’s are not smart which is rather old technology if you rely on streaming services, possible due to unreliable internet.

  Unfortunately, the experience did not meet the advertised standards of luxury, and I would like to bring several issues to your attention.

  Firstly, upon arrival, we discovered a mould problem in the downstairs bedroom, which appeared to be caused by damage to the roof (we took photos). The presence of mould is not only a health hazard but also completely unacceptable in any rental property, let alone one marketed as a luxury accommodation. Additionally, the same bedroom had a broken latch on the door. Moreover, the property's description did not mention that it is part of a site with other properties. This lack of disclosure affected our expectations of privacy and exclusivity, which are typically associated with luxury accommodations. I have since noticed that other guests have written reviews stating that it is misleading not to mention this aspect. We also encountered a problem with the snooker table. One of the snooker cues did not have a tip, leaving us with only one functional cue. This diminished our enjoyment of the amenities that were a key factor in our decision to choose this property. Furthermore, the lack of a tumble drier for a property that accommodates 8 people was challenging. Only one large towel and a hand towel per person and no tumble drier (in Wales where it rained most days) meant that we either couldnt wash the towels or had to wait a couple of days for the towels to dry. The same issue for the hot tub towels. This lack appliance or provision of more towels added to our overall dissatisfaction with the stay. The area was lovely for visiting waterfalls and day trips, which we very much enjoyed.

  Fron Haul is a lovely place to stay.

  We had a lovely friendly welcome from Vicky the owner who was helpful and only too happy to help with anything. A modern, open plan property with furnishing to match. Spotlessly clean. A very good and tasty welcome pack and the prosecco cooling by the hot tub was a lovely surprise. 3 good sized bedrooms with one downstairs which for a member of our party made things a little easier. The upstairs balcony with bbq, hot tub, large table and chairs, and heating is a joy to sit and socialise, watch TV. The kitchen is well equipped. Comfortable sofas to sit and relax with bifold doors giving views to the lovely countryside surrounding the property. A rear patio with table and chairs was lovely to sit and have lunch. We had a great stay and a unusual surprise was being able to collect our own eggs from the hens opposite the house. A lovely touch and they were delicious! Fron Hau is a great base for visiting other areas. We did walk into the local town (Ruthin) about 40 minutes on a narrow, busy road. Not recommended if there are young children in the party. There is parking in town and a few supermarkets there to stock up! To sum up, we had a smashing time in a lovely property. Was very quiet and peaceful and our batteries were fully recharged. I would happily recommend a stay here and would definitely return.

  This was the first time that we stayed at this property and we absolutely loved it.

  On arrival we found a little hamper with treats in for the kids for christmas as well as a little treat for the dog too which he loved! The facilities are fantastic, the kitchen is a really good size and has lots of storage for everything. Sometimes when you go away you have lack of storage for things and they end up on the kitchen sides, but here there is room for everything. There is also a large fridge freezer, it's massive you can fit everything in here no problem. The living room and dining room are adjoined and there is plenty of seating in here for everyone. Upstairs are 4 bedroom, 3 are doubles and the 1 is twin, the master has an en-suite. The thing I liked about the rooms was how much storage that they had, I could unpack my whole case and put everything away, I hate it when you go away and there is not enough room to store your belongings. Outside there is a large garden with a raised patio including a fire pit, there is also a gated pathway leading down to the beach, which is great if you like the beach its only a couple of minutes walk . Overall I loved staying here and would definitely stay again. If you're looking for a holiday in North Wales there are plenty of caravan sites but this gives you a lot more for your money.
