As are the owners, we had a small issue with the kettle and within 20 minutes of mentioning it, a new kettle was brought to us, fabulous service, wonderful people. Any questions asked about the surrounding areas, where to go and what to see and we were freely given advice and information. A definite FIVE STAR for both property and owners. Sandra Pike.

Fabulous views with spacious parking in front of the property. The owners really friendly and helpful without being too obtrusive. Highly recommended for exploring this beautiful part of North Wales. Iâm sure we will plan a return visit in the near future.

The owners, Mr & Mrs Evans are the friendliest, thoughtful hosts. A lovely, cosy, warm cottage with everything we needed to make it a special family break. The place was very clean and had all modern amenities, with well stocked cupboards. Plenty of parking space & outdoor seating, a few steps up to a good sized walled garden and edged by farmland. Our one year old grandson and small dogs loved it. There was something for everyone. The cottage is ideally located for a quiet, peaceful break and just a 15 minute drive to Ruthin town which has several modern shops (Tesco, B&M, Aldi) but also, picturesque middle age buildings, a castle, markets and cute independent cafes & vintage shops. Ruthin is definitely worth visiting. The emphasis is on a clean, warm, cosy & comfortable cottage with thoughtful, kind owners. We will definitely be returning. Thank you so much.
