The property's maintenance and lack of certain amenities, such as a downstairs toilet, were occasional points of critique.
The majority of guests found The Farm House to be clean and tidy, with several reviews specifically complimenting its cleanliness. A few minor comments about upkeep do not significantly detract from the overall positive perception.
The location was generally well-received for its beautiful views and proximity to Llangollen. However, some guests were surprised by the property's proximity to a campsite and public areas, which affected their privacy and sense of seclusion.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the house warm, with ample space for large groups. Some concerns were raised about the size of communal areas for the maximum number of guests and the need for child safety gates on stairs.
The hot tub, BBQ hut, and spacious garden were highlights, though there were recurring issues with the hot tub and games room equipment. The lack of a downstairs toilet and some maintenance issues were noted.
There were no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
This lovely, detached farm house has been remodelled to offer fantastic holiday accommodation. Set at the foot of the Maersyrchen Mountain with views up the valley, this detached cottage, which benefits from sole use of a luxurious outdoor hot tub and Scandinavian BBQ hut, offers comfy, spacious accommodation for families and friends who wish to explore the delights of the Llangollen area. Entering into a central hallway you will find two reception rooms, one of which is warmed by an open fire, with the other offering a quieter reading room with leather sofas. The practical kitchen with granite worktop offers the perfect spot to prepare sumptuous home cooked meals which can be enjoyed at the breakfast table in the same room, or in the more formal dining room next door, perfect for those special occasions. The children can entertain themselves in the children's play room with a football table and darts board, whilst upstairs, the four well-presented bedrooms offer family accommodation; two family rooms offer a double and a single bed, and two family rooms have a double and a set of bunks. Three of the rooms have en-suite access to a bathroom. Outside, there is a spacious lawned garden with apple trees, and a patio area with picnic benches next to a bubbling hot tub with wooden canopy. The Scandinavian BBQ hut provides a delightful, weatherproof area to snuggle into, with a communal central barbecue and seating around, making a relaxing, social area to while away evenings throughout the year with good food and great company. Set in such a delightful location, Abbey Farmhouse provides a wonderful holiday destination at any time of the year. Note: This property is next to Refs 26459 and 25992, together they sleep 23.
The beautiful Vale of Llangollen, with its dramatic mountain backdrop and boulder-strewn River Dee is the setting for this pretty tourist town. Explore the green valley by steam train or canal boat, or take an exhilarating walk up to Castell Dinas Bran, high above the town, in order to enjoy the breathtaking view. Llangollen offers a good range of pubs and restaurants, as well as many interesting shops. Chirk Castle and Erddig are within easy driving distance, while a day-long car trail can take you to visit six of the 'Seven Wonders of Wales'. Offa's Dyke Path passes nearby and boasts pleasant walking along the crest of the Clwyd hills, plus the famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is 5 miles away, and Snowdonia is less than an hour's drive.

Spotlessly clean, extremely spacious and with all your home comforts and more. The hot tub was ready for our arrival and having arrived after a long day at work it was lovely to be able to relax with friends in after eating al fresco in the outside space. The views and the surrounding area are great whether you want to relax or take part in activities. We were able to have a walk to the Abbey and Horseshoe falls before catching the steam train into Llangollen where there are some lovely places to eat and watch the world go by. Returning to our haven later in the day. Will 100% be returning in the near future.

The hot tub and bbq hut were brilliant. The views were amazing too. The food in the bistro was beautiful and it was directly outside the back gate so no travelling. Location perfect, as well as a nice site to stroll around and see the Abbey ruins. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay and will certainly be back.
