  Unfortunately there was nothing luxury about the property and it was evident that it had not been restored to a very high standard and delightfully decorated. It was in fact a very average holiday cottage with a sagging sofa and chairs, a dark and gloomy interior and a not very well equipped kitchen with some dirty and utensils in the draws. There was no element that made this feel like a luxury holiday let, the TV was basic and the WIFI connectivity very poor, no tumble dryer, the mattresses on the beds were in need of replacing and the bathrooms were pretty basic. The property was located in a lovely rural location however the outside space was not well cared for and there was only an old small table and chairs set which did not make it pleasant to sit outside. Neither could we see the spectacular views. I booked this property as after a difficult year we were looking for a luxury stay someone pretty and unfortunately this property did not live up to your description. The property definitely needs to be refreshed and if it is to be described as a luxury property it needs to be actually luxurious. I do feel that your property description was misleading and as a family we were very disappointed with our stay. I am unlikely to book with yourselves as I no longer feel that I could trust the descriptions you provide for the properties. I also feel that there should be more up to date guest reviews that are available before booking. If I had read a recent review which had said the property was in need some TLC then I would not have booked.

  A beautifully presented home from home which has everything anyone could need for a comfortable holiday.

  Shopping is a few minutes by away by car or catch the passing bus. The main artery A55 is five minutes by car as is the A470 route to the mountains giving access to coast and country easily. The owners met us and we're very pleasant and helpful, even to loaning a slow cooker when I asked in advance if one might be available. Sleep was a joy in a wonderful quality of both bed and bedding. Easy controls for heating Bike shed option available by the door and a picnic bench in the rear garden space for the hot days if you want to dine outside. Colwyn Bay is very close by offering cafes, shops, library and a great indoor shopping mall and a weekly market. The beach has been upgraded and the prom is still undergoing work though it doesn't prevent enjoyment of the beach. The Long prom leads you to near by Rhos on Sea, another small jewel to explore. Our stay was without doubt one of the best self catering holidays we have had due to the attention to detail and the "every eventuality" thought put in by the very nice owners of "The Nook". We had the ground floor apartment and never heard the people upstairs other then if they used the front door...a seperate access door...so sound proofing and privacy has been given serious consideration. This wonderful property has not been kitted out to simply get maximum return but to give maximum comfort at a realistic rate. We will definitely be back and recommend to our friends.

  The Anchorage is a wonderful house situated very near to the beach at Rhos-on-Sea.

  The house is beautifully decorated throughout. The larger lounge is very comfortable. The smaller lounge is also comfortable with a lovely view of the front garden. Both have a lovely little touch of throws on the settee which made it perfect for cosying up on a September evening. Dining room has a view of and patio doors open up onto a well kept garden. The ‘Welcome’ bubbles were a delightful surprise. The kitchen is well equipped and stocked with lovely little extras such as tea/coffee, hand wash etc that you’re not often provided with in self catering accommodations. The 3 large bedrooms all have a comfortable double bed and it’s a quiet area so we all had a restful nights sleep all 7 nights of our stay. The 2 modern bathrooms were again stocked with a few little windows extras like hand wash. The only comments any of us had (4 adults stayed) was that the only large mirrors were in the bathroom so drying hair, getting ready was a little difficult in the small ones provided sat a top the chest of drawers & the bath towels were a little on the small side. Overall this is a fantastic accommodation and we’d definitely return.

  Neither of us had been to north Wales since we were kids and really didn't know what to expect.

  The Nook is a lovely little home from home and really exceeds expectations for the costs.. we booked for 5 nights and were met on arrival by Susan who gave us a lovely welcome and showed us where everything was and how it worked.. each room has been meticulously decorated and finished to a very high standard. The kitchen has everything that you can possibly think of needing. The bathroom / wet room is lovely and has a shower to die for with hot water a plenty.. There was a welcome pack waiting for us in the kitchen which had everything we needed for the first day there, even some doggie treats for our big old German shepherd Milo who was also made welcome.. the two little bottles of prosecco were also very well received Everything about the Nook is a positive and Sue & Steve should be really proud of what they have achieved with this lovely little house... I cant honestly think of anything we could pick fault with during our stay here, we really enjoyed it and will look forward to booking it again

  Another wonderful cottage from Rural Retreats! Stunning location set in the beautiful Bodnant estate. Ideal for peacful uniterupted walks through woodland and open fields. Stunning views of the Snowdonia range and Colwyn Bay a short walk from the cottage. Lovely cottage and well equipped. Parking for one vehicle but you could squeeze another one in if required. Some minor defects at the time of our stay. - the large oven and grill didnt work and the shower leaked into the lounge area below, both reported. (We used the bath instead) Little or no internet and only patchy at best, but none of this mattered to us as we were there to get away from it all for a few days. Great log burner, well stocked with logs. Very peaceful. The only people we saw in three days were a sheep farmer and his dog and a lady walking her dog. Great farm shop nearby with a good restaurant and cafe thst does lovely breakfasts and lunches.
