The location is celebrated for its breathtaking views and tranquility. Its rural setting offers a serene escape with plenty of nearby attractions, although it is remote enough to require driving for dining and shopping.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with several comments on the comfortable beds and the spacious conservatory. The property caters well to both adults and children, enhancing the comfort of the stay.
The facilities, including the play barn, trampoline, and well-equipped kitchen, receive high praise. The property is described as modern and well-maintained, though some guests suggest that blinds in the bedrooms would improve the experience.

About this property
A stylish, contemporary, farmhouse, next to the owner's home, on their smallholding, on the outskirts of Llannefydd village, in an elevated location above the Dolwen Reservoir, on the Denbighshire/Conwy border. This detached, delightful cottage offers quality accommodation and breathtaking views as soon as you enter into the double height, summer room, which soaks up the country views across the valley. Opening into a modern kitchen with a breakfast area, you will find everything you need to enjoy a sociable meal with friends and family whilst taking in the undisturbed panoramic views. A second reception room provides a cosy area to sit and read or watch TV.
The addition of a ground floor bedroom, enjoying the use of a wet room next door, making it suitable for the less able guest, if required. Upstairs you will find two king-size bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, the other a Juliet balcony, and a triple bedroom, again ideal for children, all enjoying some of the best views available in North Wales. The half-mile track to the farmhouse, though un-adopted, is in good condition and level and worth the walk back into the village to enjoy the hospitality at the 17th century coaching inn and restaurant, perhaps after a walk down to the reservoir to enjoy a spot of fishing first.
If that doesnt give you enough to do, then a ½ acre meadow outside the cottage provides all the space children may need to play Frisbee or perhaps fly a kite. The popular seaside town of Abergele is a short drive away and opens up to miles of sandy beaches and coastal walks along the Welsh coastline. Alternatively, visit the market town of Denbigh or the newly-appointed city of St Asaph, both just 15 minutes drive away. The area is renowned for its stunning scenery and country walks, and will have you returning to this luxury cottage time and time again.

Rebecca
We had a brilliant stay here. The owners have ensured the place is well equipped. So impressed with the play barn which kept our children, and us, entertained! Very relaxed and helpful hosts. Stunning views from all of the property. A private and peaceful place to enjoy. Would love to stay again some time.

There was everything you need by way of kitchen equipment, dining/sitting area with floor to ceiling glass was comfortable, as was the lounge. The owners, who live nearby, are great and very approachable. We are already missing the wonderful countryside and peaceful surroundings.

We were a group of 4 adults and 5 children. The play barn was a brilliant space for the kids (and adults too!) Very comfortable rooms and a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed petting and feeding the lovely pigs. Fresh eggs made for a lovely treat too. Away from the hustle and bustle in a beautiful area of North Wales, thank you for a lovely holiday.
