Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently highlight the spotless condition of the cottage, indicating a high standard of cleanliness. The property is described as immaculately clean, contributing to guests' comfort and satisfaction.
The location is celebrated for its beautiful views and proximity to local attractions, including walking paths and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. While the property's elevated position offers scenic advantages, it may require caution when driving.
The majority of guests find the cottage comfortable, noting the cosy lounge, comfortable bed, and powerful shower. However, one review mentions an uncomfortable sofa, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities are generally praised, with a well-equipped kitchen and good heating. The property is described as having everything needed for a relaxing stay. A few minor DIY aspects and eclectic bathroom are noted but do not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches provided by the host, such as homemade cake, milk, and biscuits. While these gestures are highly valued, it is politely noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed with every stay.

Bronwen is a fantastic hostess with a wealth of local knowledge and has stocked the cottage with everything you might need, including a fabulous selection of local walks and tourist information for the area. Local shops and takeaways deliver to the property. It's cosy, peaceful and has some fantastic views across the Dee valley.

This is a professionally presented holiday cottage thanks to the owner Bronwen and her housekeeper. An ideal location for exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site which is the Llangollen Canal within a 15 minute walking distance; with the Offa's Dyke footpath similarly located. A good selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes close by; all with good food and welcoming staff
