  My extended family and i had a lovely stay at Fron Goch Farm.

  It was situated central to most of the places we wanted to visit in the week we were here.We stayed here in a week that was very hot and was very grateful for the big fan in the kitchen area which we moved to different rooms where it was need, i think a couple more would be appreciated. There was a few issues we had, this property was listed as having a ground floor bedroom which was one of the reasons we booked, we had two people with disabilities who cannot manage stairs so this was ideal, but the toilet on the ground floor was so low it was a struggle for them to use having both got bad knees, this was a big issue, even the younger generation found it difficult it was ok for my 4yr old grandson.The cleanliness of the place was a-bit disappointing lots of cob webs and dead spiders my husband had to go around with the hoover (which was full )when we got there, we can appreciate flies and spiders being in the country but these had been there sometime.The kitchen drawers inside were filthy, long hair on some of the floor mats in the bathrooms, the annex is a lovely addition for our other disabled person but the shower floor was orange around the edges so needed a good clean and the toilet brush needs changing and bin replaced as broken. The chairs in the kitchen need some pads on the feet because when you have a large party of people the scrapping noise was so loud and grating. The other major thing we found a problem for us is there is no security when it comes to our dogs, we couldn't just open the doors and let them out someone always had to be there because there was no safe place for them to be, we had to fence off one end with garden furniture and put them on leads, and on hot days like we had we couldn't have the doors open all the time without putting some sort of barricade to stop them going out, this wasn't very relaxing so some sort of gates would be ideal.also very short on hanging space in rooms. But on a good note sorry for the ramble we had a lovely stay and would definitely come back again if issues were dealt with.

  We had the most Amazing long weekend at Fron Goch Farm with our family.

  The views were spectacular and panoramic. The farmhouse is magnificent and each room is beautiful with stunning views and there are plenty of bathrooms. The accommodation is huge with a welcoming hall with a log burner fire, 2 very large living rooms also with log burner fires, a separate games room and an Annex which has a large double bed and twin beds in a separate room, own bathroom and tea/coffee making facilities with a small seating area and under floor heating. The main farm house was simply stunning and spacious. It was lovely and warm which also had some under floor heating and plenty of radiators. We never once felt cold even in March. Each room had USB points everywhere and all the family said the beds were comfortable for a good nights sleep. The kitchen diner was well equipped with absolutely everything you required for cooking large family/group meals and a huge oak dining table looking out at the beautiful view. The kitchen led onto another large living room with the same stunning views and had a further dining table. This room was great for entertaining, being so near to the kitchen. It was so relaxing sat outside on the enormous patio area just looking out at the view onto the beautiful countryside and River Elwy. There are pretty little streams also. We all did a fabulous walk from the property into the village of Llanfair and built up an appetite for a pub lunch. The owner James was very helpful and only a text away for any questions. A couple of complimentary bottles of iced cold Prosecco were left for us in the drinks fridge which was a lovely touch. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Fron Goch Farm and we were all sad to leave which proves what a great time we all had. Can’t wait to go back.

  The stunning Fran Goch Farm, set in the Welsh valleys, is just an absolutely amazing holiday home.

  We had a party of 13 family members and we all had an incredible time. The size of the house is perfect and meant we all had our own space but could easily eat and socialise together on an evening. The Orangerie was the highlight of the house for us with it's gorgeous wooden beams, and we spent the majority of our time in there. The house is set in a great location with amazing views and it's own hill for the kids to explore with rope swings hidden away at the summit. There is a very nice scenic walk into the village of Llanfair Talhaiarn, which takes about 30 minutes, crossing the river. The village has a couple of lovely pubs with the pub food at the Black Lion being amazing. The location of Fran Goch Farm is perfect and only a 15 to 40 minute journey to most local destinations such as Abergele, Gwrych Castle, Conwy and Llandudno. We would especially recommend a longer journey to Beaumaris, in Anglesey, with it's gorgeous village and moated castle. The only slight downside of our trip was that the broadband to the house is slightly intermittent, and the WiFi to the TV room had issues for a lot of our stay. This was to be expected with the location and size of the house, but meant we couldn't use the TV in the TV room for much of our stay. We also found there to be no WiFi signal in the annex bedrooms but found that there is a 5G WiFi router in the games room which we moved into the annex for the duration of our stay, which was actually then the fastest and most stable connection. Overall, we absolutely loved our trip to Fran Goch Farm and the owner, James, was in communication throughout and happy to help with any issues. We would love to return in the future.

  Large spacious property.

  Well equipped to cater for large parties. we were a group of 17 with 3 generations We particularly liked how warm it was. The 8 seater hot tub was a hit. It says to bring your own towels for the hot tub although there were some provided for hot tub use, Plenty of outdoor seating looking towards Rodney's Pillar and long mountain. There is a gas barbeque provided for guests use. Most rooms had their own en-suite with either shower or bath or both. Plenty of towels and nice big ones too! Also plenty of tea towels provided as well as 2 dishwashers. We would not hesitate to recommend this lovely place and would definitely return if the opportunity arises. Things to note for future guests - that in no way caused any problems for our weeks stay, but might for others:- There were workman on site renovating some nearby outbuildings but it did not interfere with our stay whatso ever. ( a few vans coming up the drive first thing and very little if any noise - if you are out and about during the day its not a problem - .) The cattle in the nearby sheds were an attraction for young and old alike in our group, however some people not used to the country life may not like the the occasional mooing or the fresh country smells!

  The property was a lovely size and generally finished to a good standard.

  It was ideal for a break with extended family. There were some small things which would have made a big difference; there were no weighing scales in the kitchen, no shaver sockets anywhere and a first aid kit in the kitchen drawer which was far from complete. The property was listed as child friendly however the outside was certainly not as there was a retaining wall to the rear of the property with no fencing to prevent young children from falling down it. There was also a significant gap at the end of the crib wall adjacent the patio which was also dangerous, and which we had to barricade with outdoor furniture. The standard of cleanliness was quite poor with numerous dirty tissues down the side of the furniture in the main room and there was old coffee left in the coffee machine which led us not to use it and instead use the cafetière which was a shame as we bought coffee especially. On the plus side it was lovely to feel relaxed in the property and being provided with throws for the furniture for use to allow dogs on the furniture. We would definitely come back but it would be a lot better with some more secure fencing for kids and dogs.
