Guests appreciated the ample parking and the property's capacity to accommodate large groups comfortably. The dining area was particularly praised for its suitability for gatherings.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property was generally found to be clean, with a modern feel. However, there were isolated reports of a dirty toilet and issues with shower cleanliness, which slightly affected the overall perception of cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded, with easy access to nearby attractions such as Chester and Colwyn Bay. The property is within walking distance to the river, play areas, and local pubs, making it an excellent base for exploring the area.
While the property was praised for its spaciousness and some rooms with en-suite facilities, there were several complaints about uncomfortable mattresses and a lack of hot water in some showers, which impacted the overall comfort level.
The property boasts great communal spaces and a large kitchen. However, maintenance issues such as non-working showers, inadequate heating in some rooms, and poor WiFi connectivity have been noted, suggesting room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches provided by the host in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness of the property based on the available information.

. Lots of people lived in the other property and were coming and going all the time. It was stated there were extensive grounds, it was a large garden with no other grounds. One bathroom had no light, landlady said she would get an electrician in during the week, never happened. A bathroom light was sensored and went off all the time. Needed a lot of movement to turn it back on and stayed on for various seconds, 10,12,8 and sometimes only four seconds. There was a large crack in one hob, wasnât safe to use. The was a big crack in one window and a damaged picture frame. When we were there, door entrance to upstairs shut and locked. Phoned for help. We were told to access the fuse up high which required a chair and a tall person. Some wires were loose and live. Had to fumble about with it to find out what to do. It was not at all clear. Nor was it safe to be doing ourselves. A couple of bathrooms flooded extensively when the shower was used. Had to ask for a mop as there wasnât one readily available. There were three beds that were very uncomfortable. Clearly the mattresses were very old.

There were no basic necessities like toilet paper, handwash or shower gell (only what previous guests may have left behind). Luckily the stores were still open so people managed. 2. All the double beds had spring mattresses which were uncomfortable. The single beds were okay. 3. The showers in two of the rooms had no curtains or screen to stop the water coming out into the room. The guests had to use towels to try and resolve the issue. 4. A couple of the rooms had no hot water even when used in the evening when no-one else was having showers. 5. No bin bags provided or cleaning cloths The living quarters were very nice and comfortable with an excellent kitchen and dining area.
