The delightful barn had everything we could possibly need, and much more. The location is superb, and it was refreshing to see, and talk about, a working farm. Our hosts made us very welcome in all respects.

We had such a wonderful time. The cottage was beautiful and in an idyllic location.

This is a really lovely barn conversion, well equipped and decorated, and making great use of the space. It has a sunny terrace with table and chairs for meals etc, weather permitting.

The barn conversion provides excellent and really comfortable accommodation. We really enjoyed our week's holiday here which was made all the more special with fresh flowers and Halloween decorations. Ample welcome pack of wine, milk, biscuits and cake was also much appreciated. We also really enjoyed using the indoor hot tub to relax in during thRead moree dark evenings of October. Property is very well placed to visit Snowdonia, North Wales coast, Llangollen and Chester and is only a 5 minute drive off the A55 North Wales Expressway, yet is in a very quiet and rural location. Owners are friendly and helpful. We have no hesitation in recommending this first class holiday accommodation - it is one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Hide
