Guests say
Pen y Parc is a well-received cottage in North Wales, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and excellent location. Guests appreciate the friendly host, the well-maintained property with a beautiful garden, and the proximity to a local pub with great food. The cottage's charm and the peaceful village setting contribute to a relaxing and enjoyable stay, with many guests eager to return.
The cottage consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being very clean and well-maintained. One isolated complaint about a bed's condition does not significantly impact the overall high standard observed by guests.
The location is highly regarded for its quiet village setting, proximity to local attractions, and beautiful views. The convenience of a nearby pub and the ease of exploring North Wales from this base are frequently noted.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of the cosy lounge, comfortable beds, and spacious conservatory. One negative comment about the main double bed suggests a possible area for improvement, but overall, comfort levels are rated highly.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the cottage providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. There is a mention of a smell from the oil tank and an issue with the bed, indicating some room for maintenance, but these are exceptions in otherwise positive feedback.
While the reviews reflect a welcoming and helpful host, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
About this property
An attractive, 18th century, stone-built cottage, occupying a quiet position in the pretty village of Gwaenysgor, just two miles from Prestatyn. This restful and calm, semi-detached property is decorated and furnished in a traditional cottage style and features exposed stone walls and beams, a welcoming sitting room, two bedrooms and a tranquil garden, ideal for a relaxing evening drink. The hillside village of Gwaenysgor boasts spectacular rural and coastal views and an excellent pub, whilst pretty coastal walks can be enjoyed within easy walking distance. The popular seaside resort of Prestatyn is two miles away, offering superb fishing and watersports, while Colwyn Bay's fantastic Mountain Zoo, Llandudno's Victorian promenades and the breathtaking Snowdonian landscape are not to be missed. An ideal base for touring North Wales, any time of year.
Set on the side of a hill in the quiet North Wales countryside, the tiny village of Gwaenysgor is situated within the Clwydian Hill Range, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The summit is a mere quarter of a mile away and provides a wonderful panoramic view over the countryside and coast. With a very good pub, the village is well placed for joining the Offa's Dyke National Trail, which lies within a few minutes walk. The beaches at Prestatyn offer a safe spot for family fun on the sand as well as those looking for a place to try various water sports. There are also a number of lovely walks through the pretty countryside as well as four excellent golf courses, a leisure centre, the Mountain Zoo at Colwyn Bay and the Victorian resort of Llandudno – all waiting to be explored.
