Cosy and immaculately clean, within easy reach of the North Wales coastline, its castles and other attractions. We had a lovely break, enjoyed meeting the cats and donkey, and soaking up the countryside. Owners are easily at hand and very helpful- but theres also plenty of privacy.

Wonderful Cottage in a beautiful location. Its spotlessly clean, quiet, peaceful. Hosts are close by and very helpful but not intrusive. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Our boys loved the Donkey and very friendly cats thanks for a great stay

The cottage is well located, not far from an A road, yet in a quiet place. We enjoyed the animals at the farm and local walks. Coast is ca. half an hour drive as is Chester. The place is clean, warm (underfloor heating!) and quiet.

Lovely clean, well equipped cottage. Greeted by the owner but was then left alone although they were close by if you needed them. The welcome gifts were a nice touch especially the free range eggs.
