Mrs Jones was very friendly and helpful. The cats and the hot tub were a real hit with our grandchildren. Only minutes away from some beautiful beaches and 30 minutes away from Zip Worlds activity centres.

Even though we brought three cars, she was very accommodating to ensure that we could all park conveniently. The views from the lounge, garden and two of the bedrooms are absolutely stunning and the property is located in the most beautiful countryside. Although the local lanes are narrow there is little traffic and Abergele is only a few minutes drive. We would love to return to Ysgubor.
