Guests say
Garth Ucha is a spacious and well-equipped cottage, ideal for large groups and family gatherings. Guests consistently praise the beautiful countryside views, peaceful and secluded setting, and the impressive hot tub. The property is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked for group stays, with ample kitchenware and multiple living spaces. While a few minor issues were noted, such as the absence of a tumble dryer and occasional Wi-Fi problems, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Multiple reviews highlight the property as clean and well-kept throughout, with no significant complaints about cleanliness. Only one review mentioned the house being cold on arrival, but this did not relate to cleanliness.
The location is described as peaceful, secluded, and offering stunning countryside views. Guests appreciate the remoteness, though some note the access road is steep and the nearest shops require a drive. The setting is ideal for those seeking tranquillity.
Guests frequently mention the house as comfortable, warm, and spacious, with plenty of bathrooms and cosy beds. A few minor comments about firmer or squeaky beds and a small downstairs bed were noted, but overall comfort is highly rated.
The property is praised for its excellent facilities, including a large hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, multiple bathrooms, and ample space for groups. Some minor issues were mentioned, such as the lack of a tumble dryer and a games room in need of attention, but these did not detract significantly from the overall experience.
Several guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as provisions, a welcome hamper, and family equipment. However, as gifts and provisions are not guaranteed, future guests should not expect these as standard.

Fabulous weekend away with a group of 13. The weather was not in our favour however we made the most of the hot tub and indoor space.We dined in every day and found the provision of pots, pans and utensils was brilliant. There is loads of space and plenty of nooks and crannies for hide and seek (I think we found all the children).We all had a truly memorable break.

We had a fantastic 5 day stay with 14 of us across 3 generations (6kids 6-14). Garth Ucha is brilliantly setup for cooking on mass, it's been very well thought out. Separate utility with washing machine, drying racks and loads of extra kitchen equipment , every possible dish, bowl, cooking utensils you could imagine. 2 dishwashers in main kitchen was brilliant. Huge dining space which comfortably seated our group. There were high chairs/cots and all sorts of other family equipment in case needed.It has 3 lovely lounge spaces of varying sizes so we could spread out and be doing different activities (or grandparents could have some quiet!)Bedrooms were all hugely spacious with plenty of room for clothes etc. Plenty of bathrooms & hot water.Little games room was nice, not used much as our kids rode their bikes up and down the track and round about! Hot tub was amazing. Fantastic views. It is very much isolated (great for us as we didn't worry about noise from our kids!), you do need a car. Nearest shop a few miles away.Careful driving up the track - one of our cars went off road slightly!We managed to get Asda delivery up the track no problem.Barely scratched the surface of local activities but we went to Ironworks (ace!), Ellesmere - great for a walk, play area for kids, Llangollen to walk viaduct.Absolutely epic house for a game of hide & seek with the kids. We had a really lovely stay.Clean, homely,we would really recommend.
