Celyn is a fabulous house for a large family or friends group.It has plenty of space and lots to entertain all ages.The pool and Hot tub and sauna were fabulous.However, we felt it needed abit of fixing up.Some of the games room equipment is broken, the table tennis net.The toilet in one of the rooms was constantly flushing. The wood needs rubbing down and restaining and one of the showers needs regrouting.The heating is on constant but hard to control as the thermostats are not all working properly. We had a fun weekend and loved many of the things about the house. These improvements would make it better overall. Any issues we did raise were fixed by the owner immediately.

We’ve just returned from our second stay at this fantastic house in Wales, and it certainly won’t be our last. It’s the perfect place for a family getaway—spacious, well-equipped, and thoughtfully set up to keep everyone entertained, whatever the weather.Everything was spotlessly clean on arrival, and the whole house feels both comfortable and welcoming, making it easy to relax straight away. There’s a great balance of shared spaces for spending time together and enough room for everyone to have their own space when needed.The host is absolutely lovely—friendly, responsive, and clearly takes pride in making sure guests have a great experience.All in all, a brilliant place for families or groups looking for a stress-free, enjoyable stay. Highly recommended!

We’ve just had the best long weekend at this beautiful house and honestly didn’t want to leave! From the moment we arrived, it had absolutely everything we could possibly need.There were 14 of us staying, including two 1-year-old twins and our border collie, and the house catered perfectly for all of us. The enclosed garden was ideal, completely safe and secure for the dog to run around freely, which gave us real peace of mind.The cinema room was such a fantastic feature. It worked perfectly as a playroom for the twins during the day, giving them their own safe space to enjoy, and in the evenings it turned into the ultimate sports room for the men to relax and watch the games on the large TV. It really suited everyone.The pool was a brilliant addition and beautifully warm it made the weekend feel extra special and was enjoyed by all of us. The whole house is so well equipped and thoughtfully set up; you can tell a lot of care has gone into making sure guests have everything they could want.We rent a large house every year as a group, and without a doubt this has been our favourite one so far – which says a lot! We’re already talking about booking again.A huge thank you to Gavin, his wife, and Owen. They were all so lovely and truly went above and beyond to make this stay the best one yet. We couldn’t have asked for more.
