Moving through the property, guests can socialise or hideaway with a choice of a sitting room and a snug; the first sitting room features a gorgeous, original inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove and Smart TV, whilst the snug is a smaller space to curl up by the electric fire with a good book. With so much outdoor space, be sure to make the most of Nant Y Celyn's beautiful gardens; spend summer evenings rustling up an alfresco dinner on the barbecue in the front garden, whilst the enclosed rear garden offers plenty of seating space and a hot tub to de-stress after the day's adventures.

Well equipped and the owner responded quickly to any queries. In a peaceful and quiet location. The conservatory was a great asset when the weather was less than cooperative. WiFi signal was good. Highly recommended and would definitely go back.

After spending many fabulous holidays in Sykes accommodation and lots of times in Wales, this has been the best we've stayed in (and it was up against some tough competition). The house is simply gorgeous. Very private and secluded but only a short distance from Ruthin which has plenty of shops, restaurants and bars etc so you get peace and quiet but are close enough to all you could need too. The owner couldn't have been nicer and the hamper on arrival was a wonderful welcome touch that far surpasses any we've ever had before. Having the horses for neighbours, a huge hot tub in a wonderful garden, just as well equipped outside as in, was amazing. Inside the rooms are very comfortable, tastefully decorated and well equipped, with a stunning kitchen which would be wonderful in any home. Only thing missing was a phone signal (which we knew about as it's in the listing) but in my opinion actually improves things. Good WiFi so not out of touch but no phone signal was a good excuse to have a bit of a holiday from the phone too. We loved this house, in case that's not already obvious lol, and would definitely recommend.

The cottage was immaculately clean, the kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were cosy and comfortable. We loved wandering around the gardens and seeing the horses every morning! After our days of activities, the cottage was a welcome respite. With Ruthin only a 10 minute drive away, there was easy access to shops, petrol and a great Fish & Chips place! We would definitely recommend Nant Y Celyn for families for the quiet environment, big outdoor spaces and clean accommodation. Thank you Richard!!
