  I can not believe how beautiful this home is.

  Definitely has a homely country feel to it! The rural, secluded location is a hidden Welsh Gem! The views make you want to melt! Off a single lane farm track. (Minimal traffic) we saw 4 vehicles the whole time we were there 1 being the postie! So don't worry too much about the lane! There is a local town- say 9 mins by car. Where we collected fish and chips the first evening we stayed. (10/10) ( We popped into Rhyl while we waited for our 4pm check in time.) We ventured to Conwyn Castle the following day- then did a stop by stop on the way home passing through llandudno, Rhos on sea, Colwyn bay (old and new) Pensarns then back to Garth. Absolutely fantastic places-all well worth a day out each at, or a few hours at each! I really loved how the house was set out. A large entrance hall with a dinning table. This lead off to a large kitchen seating 11/12 easily as pictured. Every utensil you may need available. Amble storage for fresh/frozen and cupboard items. There were a good array of condiments left at the property. Salt pepper oil ect. This may not always be able but was there at least for us. (Good if you forget your own). Large seating area to the left of entrance hall with large, extremely comfortable corner sofa. To the right of the entrance hall is all the bedrooms. One is upstairs 2 singles 1 bulk bed. Along with a second seating area and larger corner sofa than the one downstairs with a larger t.v and sound system. All beds were excellent. The mattress luxurious. Bed sheets beautiful. Small touches elegant. Making it very welcoming. The welcome basket was as always- so so welcome! Amazing quality items! Lovely touch! We had a Internet issue-which was sorted immediately by Mick the owner via email, and calls. You seriously can not fault his handling of this issue-even being in the USA at time of fault occurring! Although not a huge drama for us as we were away and there to spend time with 3 generations of family! So talking and playing took up the need for any tech! There were fabulous games inside and outside. The kids had a cracking time on the large green, over looked by the resident sheep! There were a couple of cobwebs about but in My opinion this serves a purpose should any stray flies make it into the property-so no trouble at all for us seeing them or having them present! (Just wouldn't want anyone ridiculing the home for this reason! So forewarning- for anyone who is slightly precious about this sort of thing!) It's a home from home! Mick was amazing and a fabulous owner! Thank you both so much for having us. We wish you every success for the future and hope everyone who visits in future enjoys your property as much as we did. As mentioned in other reviews sat nav stops at wrong property (ou Mick find out WHAT3WORDS is for your property! That will certainly help future guests!) I forget to get them when I was there. Google may have the answer! ;) 1 lady and her dog- aka Claudia and family.

  Absolutely fantastic space - 11 of us stayed there and there was plenty of room for all of us.

  Separate lounge areas meant the kids had their own space to the adults, and all the rooms were plenty big enough. Could even get the additional fold-out bed into the single room. Log burner was a nice feature too during our autumn stay. Dining table was large enough to seat all 11 us together at meal times, which was a big box ticker for us, and the kitchen was well equipped. On the cleanliness front this was fine for the visible areas, but as furniture / rugs got moved it was clear that it hadn't been 'deep cleaned' for a while - with muck and bits of toys etc hiding in the unseen areas. Kitchen and bathroom areas were well cleaned and maintained to a good standard, although the utility area at the rear of the property absolutely reeked of wet dog. This did seem to be the area catering for dogs with feeding bowls etc so to some extent is understandable, however was an unwelcome aroma for our group staying there who don't have dogs. On the plus side we kept the rear kitchen door closed and that contained the smell to a large extent. In terms of kitchen equipment - pretty much all bases / needs were covered, and the welcome hamper on arrival was lovely. However there only seemed to be one champagne flute type glass. I'd have thought that a property housing this many people would be playing frequent host to celebrations of one type or another where a bottle of fizz or two would be popped. Always takes the edge of it when you have to drink it from a normal wine glass. That would be the only addition I'd make to the kitchen facilities. Bit of annoying miscommunication from Sykes meaning when we got there the additional fold-out bed hadn't been setup. However the owner did call us asap (from Florida) to help which was a nice touch. By that time though we'd found the beds and bedding and sorted out ourselves. Lovely location for rural peace and quiet. In terms of activities we did a couple of walks right from the doorstep; unfortunately a lot of the public rights of way marked on OS maps don't really seem to be adhered to by a lot of the local landowners - so just be aware if planning your own walks. However of course that's no fault of the cottage itself. When we did sort our walks out they were very pleasant and good to be able to ramble from the front door and back again.

  On arrival, out of respect, I took my shoes off but unfortunately the carpet in the bedroom was soaking wet.

  When discussed with staff, they said it had been deep cleaned prior to us arriving. The cabin was clean and well presented but unfortunately with the carpet being so wet, there was a strong damp smell throughout. The shower was cold. This was mentioned to the reception staff, no one came to sort it. Due to having PTSD, I have a service dog. I explained this to staff but unfortunately this wasn’t passed down and I was repeatedly questioned by multiple staff (some lovely, some not so kind) about this even though she had her labelled harness on. Unfortunately, 1 member of the bar staff was extremely rude- when I went to the bar to get a drink she was standing with her work colleague, looked me up and down and said to her work colleague ‘You can sort that one’. There was a dog roaming around outside the cabins, pooing everywhere which the owner didn’t clean up even though there are lots of dog bins. I had to point this out to staff. I refuse to pick up other people’s dogs poo. On leaving, there were two males sat in their car on the carpark right outside reception smoking very strong cannabis. Marian staff were seen walking past the car but nothing was mentioned. The car parking spaces were small and the disabled parking spaces were small too, there was only 4 and were being used by people in large trucks with no blue badges displayed. As a disabled badge owner, this is extremely frustrating!! I would like to say on a positive note- Jason the handyman was an absolute godsend and I wished I got to thank him before we left.

  The property is in a lovely location and was perfect for us to explore North Wales with our two young children.

  The cottage itself is pretty and it was nice and clean as we arrived but we discovered just a few things that were missing/lacking in order to make our stay perfect. We had planned to cook our own meals for a couple of the nights we were there (specifically one pot meals as they’re easier for us as a family) however, there was nothing to actually do the cooking in - Pyrex dishes etc. The 2 frying pans that were available were both small and not big enough to cook for a family of 4 so we ended up with takeaways and wasting food. (Also, being particularly picky, no Prosecco or Pint glasses to enjoy a beverage.) Of an evening, the cottage got quite chilly but there was no option for us to put the heating on as this was automatic/we weren’t allowed to touch it and there was also no fuel for the fire for us to use - we ended up cuddled up under a blanket. On the first night we locked the back door and once we tried to open it in the morning, the lock was so stiff that we could not work it. For love nor money, that back door would not open. We tried every morning and night but to no avail until finally, on the morning of our departure, we managed to get it open with some kind of magic touch. This meant we had 3 full days with all of our rubbish in the kitchen, nowhere to dry our wet towels or washing and no use of the outdoor space which was a shame as this was one of the main reasons we booked the cottage as our 2 young children love playing outside. Overall a cosy cottage but it didn’t quite live up to expectations for us.

  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.
