  Our much looked forward Christmas break at this cottage was disappointing to say the least.

  First impressions were good, nice views and cosy log burner. However, there were two main and significant problems. The TV didn't work properly so we were unable to watch any of the planned tv programmes we had been looking forward to. The screen kept displaying an error message which said 'weak or no signal, check your aerial and connection'. After contacting the host, he replied that the WiFi speeds were OK, but that the aerial may have been affected by a previous storm, and there was nothing he could do. All channels had the same problem. The biggest problem for us is that it took hours to cook our Christmas dinner. Even to pre heat the oven was a trial in itself, and it took hours to produce our meal. The owner's response was that it only runs on a 13amp fuse and isn't connected to a main wire so isn't as hot or powerful as a normal oven. In fact you can only use one shelf at a time! Surely this should be made clear at the outset and in the description of the cottage prior to booking. I don't think this cottage is fit for purpose for a Christmas break. The cottage was originally part of the owners house, which they sectioned off to make a stand alone cottage for holiday lets. Also , I would agree with other comments from previous guest reviews and an entry in the guest book which mentions that their child took a nasty fall, that the stairs are extremely steep, and I feel that this should also be mentioned in the description, since this could be a big problem for some guests. There is also a mini fan heater in the cupboard of the main bedroom which lacks a safety cut out function. So whilst I appreciate the gesture of biscuits and a Christmas card on arrival, I would much prefer to have had a good Christmas meal and a tv that worked.

  This property is so cute, stylish & comfy - really felt like home from home.

  Perfectly placed in the middle of Rhyl & Prestatyn with nice coastal walks either way. It however does need a few little things just to make it 10/10. - no hooks on bedroom or bathroom doors (sounds petty but don't realise how useful these are until you don't have any) - washing machine & dishwasher smelt fusty & mouldy. Dishwasher did improve as it was used through the week but washing machine did make clothes smell a bit fusty - edge of bath cracked - no mirrors in bedrooms, only a full length one right at the top of stairs. Had to be careful not to step too far back when doing hair & make up - no TV signal so have to use apps to watch any telly. Couldnt add new apps as it asks for a PIN that wasn't provided so had to watch some stuff on our phones - information about bin collection is wrong in the welcome pack, says they collect on Thursdays but it was actually Wednesday - there is a CCTV camera in the back garden, I get it's for security when the property is empty but did make me feel a bit uneasy being filmed when out in the garden - some the lights in the property are bit strange, no shades on the energy saving bulbs & quite often when we put those lights on they would keep going straight back off - took about 4 times of turning on, off, on, off before they actually stayed on All in all the property is great & we would return again in the future.

  We had a wonderful week at Woodland Cottage!

  It is a beautiful, characterful cottage that was extremely clean when we arrived. The owners are friendly and helpful and the fresh eggs and cake were a lovely touch. The cottage has everything you could possibly need for the week and a highchair, travel cot and stair gate were all set up for our arrival. It was the perfect size for our family of four and is a really family friendly cottage for those with small children. The travel cot doesn't have an extra mattress, only the one provided with the cot, so you will need to bring one if you want that extra comfort. We needed another mattress anyway so we just bought one which was no trouble at all, just something to be aware of. The fridge/freezer is also quite small so keep this in mind when doing your shopping. We still managed to get everything in that we had ordered for the week though! So easy to get a Tesco delivery for the day we arrived. The cottage is set in a great location for exploring the local attractions. We enjoyed visiting Llangollen, the Aqueduct, Blue Planet Aquarium, Horseshoe Falls and Chester Zoo. The view from the cottage is spectacular and we loved sitting in the lovely garden as well. There are woods just opposite the cottage for great dog walks. This is a fantastic cottage and we can't wait to stay again in the future!

  We stayed for 3 nights and came away wishing it was longer.

  The house is beautiful and really comfortable and relaxing inside. The windows in the lounge make it even more special, I could have happily stayed in that one room the whole time. The kitchen has everything you need and was clean and tidy. The one tiny thing I noticed when we first arrived was that the kitchen did smell of dog. I'm not a dog owner so I probably notice it more and I know the property welcomes dogs so I wasn't surprised. But after the first day the smell was gone. I wondered if it might be worth getting a plug in air freshener just to use between stays to help clear out the smell? But really it didn't spoil anything, it was just the only thing I noticed that I could criticise! The area itself it pretty of course, amazing view from the lounge and we went walking around the village a couple of times. The shop at the bottom of the road is really convenient and less than 2 mins walk. The pub was really nice inside but we didn't eat there as they couldn't fit us in so we went to the swan inn down the road and had a really good meal there. We loved staying here and we're already looking at when we can book to come back for longer.

  Cosy, clean, well maintained cottage set in a great location with stunning panoramic views of the valley beyond.

  Off road parking and enclosed patio garden and every need catered for within the accommodation. There is a lovely woodland opposite the cottage across the lane, which was ideal for walks with our pooches! Visited for the first time the stunning Pontcysyllte Aqueduct near Llangollen where we walked across on the footpath high above the valley with breathtaking panoramic views below. Another first time visit for us was Plas Newydd historic house and gardens and enjoyed a nice coffee in the cafe courtyard where dogs are allowed. Another first time visit for us was Horseshoe Falls with local countryside surroundings to explore. Beautiful Llangollen itself is a must to visit which of course we did and the obligatory stroll along the path overlooking the river and great to see the famous steam train in action once again. We had a lovely restful few days here and highly recommend this cottage set in a beautiful location.
