The property is beautiful cottage. Could do with a bit of TLC and more modern bathrooms. The fridge is on it's last legs we didn't expect to clean it before use. Overall we had a good stay.

Log burner was huge and a plentiful supply of wood!. Kitchen had a very good supply of utensils and everything that was needed. Noise from road was not a problem. Only thing would say would be bathrooms could do with a little updating..Pub over road served nice meals. Lovely places around to visit about 40 minutes drive. Betswy-co-ed around 10 minutes. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend.

Bedrooms are a good size and our bed was king-size and very comfortable. There are 2 on suites and a shared bathroom, from experience ide say the only downside is there is no loo on the top floor which means a long creaky walk for a night time toilet visit. There is a lovely barbecue and plenty of wood for the stove ( We never needed it as the house is plenty warm enough ) your pretty much in-between Llangollen and Betws y coed there's a large Aldi and a home bargains in Llangollen and a realy good pub 5 mins walk away in Rhydlydan that does food. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did, Thanks Glan nug we all loved it.
