Guests say
Derwen Haidd is a peaceful and beautiful cottage appreciated for its tranquillity and lovely views. Guests enjoyed the hot tub, games room, and the cosy atmosphere. The property is well-equipped, though some maintenance issues were noted. It's ideal for adult groups and those seeking a quiet retreat, with a warm welcome including thoughtful touches like freshly baked cake and flowers.
The property was generally found to be clean and tidy, but there were instances of dirty dishes and a bad smell from the dishwasher. One guest mentioned having to rewash kitchenware, indicating room for improvement in cleanliness.
The cottage's remote location offers peace and quiet, but it's a significant distance from shops and pubs, which some guests found inconvenient. The lack of local amenities was a common observation.
The property is described as warm, cosy, and spacious, providing a comfortable environment for guests. However, the garden's suitability for children and pets was questioned due to its layout.
Facilities like the hot tub and games room were highlights, but maintenance issues with the dishwasher, oven, and a leaky bathroom detracted from the overall experience. Some areas were also noted as looking tired.
Guests were touched by the thoughtful gestures such as a freshly baked cake and fresh flowers on arrival. However, it should be noted that such personal touches, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.
