  Finding the cottage was , for me , a little difficult as the roads are narrow , winding and obviously very steep .

  This wasn't helped by roadworks in the village and a diversion ,which we was informed of by the owners . I was also told that the post code covers two farms . I did end up at the first one ! Which really knocked my confidence as the road was treacherous to me ! However I did later notice that the name of the farm was at the entrance on the Top road . Tbh it was a very small one as is the one for Hendre cottages which is the next one . Very steep descent from the road , I found really scary to the point I thought thar i would not be able to drive back out . I did and I soon got use to it . The cottage I'd beautiful , clean & cosy . Tge bed very cozy. Couldn't fault the cottage I don't think the storage heaters will suffice on really cold nights. There are lots of leaflets and info in the table drawer although some very out of date . ( a few maps of the local area would have been good for me ) It is an ideal location to take of visiting places , Conwy , Abergele , Llandudno, are within 40 minutes we visited loads of places . Found the fairy Glenn had a wild sw here.. Lots more to explore we ran out of time . I actually enjoyed the driving of the country lanes , hills .. so much so we had s drive onto the moors which was well worth it . The views are stunning ! We didn't want to leave . All in all a fantastic stay . The host even left a chocolate cake for us , Thank You x

  I returned from Cwmgilla today after a weekend with my relatives.

  The location is very rural and quiet and the scenery beautiful. The town of Knighton is within easy reach and access to walking routes is good. The house is large and has five bedrooms, two reception rooms, two games rooms and a hot tub. The kitchen is large and ten people can be seated around the dining table. However, there were some faults that took the shine off my stay. At one point we were trapped inside the larger reception room because we could not open the door due to a faulty handle. If my sister in law, who was elsewhere in the house, had not let us out, I would have had to climb out of a window. The bottom hinge on the door to the small reception room was no longer screwed into the door frame and therefore dangerous. The doors to the downstairs shower do not meet and consequently water can escape onto the floor. The sofas need replacing, the mattresses too. The windows were dirty. Those are just some of the many small issues I found. The house needs some repairs and I would suggest that it needs refurbishment as the decor is looking tired. I took exception to the instructions for leaving, which ask you to strip linen from the beds and bag it up along with the towels. I think when you have paid hundreds of pounds for accommodation that service should be included. My wife complied with the request, but I would have left the beds personally. I think the instruction is cheeky.

  We had a lovely family stay at Christmas at Cymgilla Farm.

  The house was warm and beautifully decorated for Christmas with a lovely welcome hamper. The kitchen was well equipped with 2 ovens, 2 warming ovens and 2 fridges. The only issue was the fact that there were only 5 teaspoons for 8 adults! Also the downstairs shower was unusable as it didn't produce any hot water. This left us with the ensuite shower and one other in the bathroom . We coped though. The owner has promised to sort out these issues. There were also a few other maintenance issues but none of them spoilt our stay. What we really enjoyed were the games facilities- table tennis, darts, table football, snooker. Also the hot tub with it's lovely views of the surrounding countryside. For dog owners the garden is not secure and with sheep in the fields all around, dogs will need to be kept on a lead. There were lovely walks along Offa's Dyke from Knighton itself or from the door with a short walk along the lanes leading to the Farmhouse. We would recommend you aim to arrive in daylight as the lanes are single track and any signs difficult to see. The last of our party had to be guided in using a mobile phone and waving of torches! We enjoyed our stay at the farm very much and thought it was reasonably priced.

  We had an amazing stay in this beautiful house. All the home comforts you could ask for. The house is done to a very high standard and everywhere was very clean. The views are amazing from the upstairs balcony off the lounge. Very comfy sofas to chill on after a day exploring the area. Kitchen has plenty of utensil ect and nice to have 2 dishwashers to fill when there is a large group of you staying. Hot tub was lovely and clean and great having the extra towels to use for that. The games room is a brilliant addition, we had lots of fun in there. Lots of local walks with the costal path right behind the house, the views are amazing but it's not for the faint hearted!! Whistling sands is just down the road, about 25 minutes walk. Aberdaron was a lovely quaint little village with local store, chip shop, pub, ice cream shop and a lovely cafe with a decking area to sit on out side, dog friendly too. We went out of season so limited opening times for chip shop and ice cream shop closed, but the pub is open every day, this has a lovely decked area overlooking the beach, dog friendly too. Overall an amazing place to stay and we will be back. Thanks for a wonderful stay ❤️

  We had a lovely week and the cottage was lovely.

  With young children I enjoyed the no clutter feel and fact everything was off the ground - easy to find lost toys. Despite having booked for 5, I was disappointed that only 4 sets of towels were left out - the hand towels were too small to use for the baby. However the real disappointment of the holiday was the kitchen. There were only 3 dinner plates, which for a booking of 4/ 5 was insufficient. The kitchen was home to 13 egg cups and 10 wine glasses, yet no corkscrew. The pans had seen better days and the oven trays felt/ were cheap ( I was disappointed there was nothing like a pyrex dish for a pasta bake, but appreciate this one may be down to personal cooking preference). The serving utensils were so cheap they almost folded in half holding a spoonful of veg. Additionally the knives were limited - only 2 small veg knives - nothing suitable for cutting bread. I don't think it would cost the earth to provide a bottle of washing up liquid either. ( As it happens we were in our camper van so had our own crockery we could use but most wouldn't). I would recommend but manage people's expectations.
