  Tyn Llwyn is a lovely, spacious, open plan-type property with modern features yet a traditional feel.

  As soon as we arrived, we were struck by the number of large windows with unique and quirky seating next to each, offering various moods and perspectives of the wonderful views. The kitchen is well-equipped, including a large fridge-freezer with an ice machine and cold water tap. The bedrooms are comfortable, and the utility room next to one of the bedrooms is ideal for keeping the dog overnight. Most impressive, however, is the balcony, which sits at the side of the property and allows you to appreciate the rolling hills and red kites (there’s also a bird feeder directly outside the property, which attracts all sorts of garden birds). The balcony is accessed via bi-folding doors, which you can open to cool the lounge area down, as the property can get warm when sunny. The property is very private, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The only person we saw was a local farmer shewing away some sheep that had made their way up the long driveway. Outside, there are three large garden areas with plenty of space for the dog to run around, accessed either by the main door or via the staircase on the balcony. If you do take your dog, be mindful of the hundreds of pheasants! We ordered a Tesco delivery, and met the driver at the end of the driveway to make things a little easier. Owner Jane is excellent—we had a lengthy phone call prior to our visit, during which she gave us plenty of tips for the local area, and she was readily available for communication if needed. Check-in was straightforward, with the key accessed though a coded key safe. We loved our time there, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return!

  The Banquet House provided us with a wonderful place to stay for our family in August 2023.

  If you’re after a character property that’s well equipped and you don’t mind a low doorway or two, this is a great place to stay in North Wales. When I say character, I mean a property that’s well over 500 years old that has been beautifully looked after and restored and features on the town trail! The beams throughout are beautiful, the floors squeaky and the trapdoor and tunnel in the living room gives you somewhere to put the kids when they’re misbehaving for a couple of hours. Our dog Olive also loved the walled garden, and we particularly enjoyed sitting out on a night in the summerhouse with a glass of something listening to the waterfall in the pond. Jan and Mark, the owners were excellent in terms of communication by text throughout and also accommodated our request to be able to plug our car into the 13 amp socket in the little outhouse. Rhuddlan is a quiet little town that’s well located for lots of things in the north eastern part of Wales. Prestatyn beach is 15 minutes away, Chester Zoo 35 minutes, Llandudno 30 minutes or south to Llangollen about 50 minutes. However, at the end of the street is the gem of Rhuddlan Castle, also surrounded by some lovely walks to take the dog. Rumour has it (although unconfirmed) that the aforementioned tunnel (I didn’t really put the kids in there for a couple of hours) used to link to the castle, but apparently when a previous owner started excavating it, there was a bit of handy subsidence. A wonderful little stay. Thank you.

  Fron Haul is a lovely place to stay.

  We had a lovely friendly welcome from Vicky the owner who was helpful and only too happy to help with anything. A modern, open plan property with furnishing to match. Spotlessly clean. A very good and tasty welcome pack and the prosecco cooling by the hot tub was a lovely surprise. 3 good sized bedrooms with one downstairs which for a member of our party made things a little easier. The upstairs balcony with bbq, hot tub, large table and chairs, and heating is a joy to sit and socialise, watch TV. The kitchen is well equipped. Comfortable sofas to sit and relax with bifold doors giving views to the lovely countryside surrounding the property. A rear patio with table and chairs was lovely to sit and have lunch. We had a great stay and a unusual surprise was being able to collect our own eggs from the hens opposite the house. A lovely touch and they were delicious! Fron Hau is a great base for visiting other areas. We did walk into the local town (Ruthin) about 40 minutes on a narrow, busy road. Not recommended if there are young children in the party. There is parking in town and a few supermarkets there to stock up! To sum up, we had a smashing time in a lovely property. Was very quiet and peaceful and our batteries were fully recharged. I would happily recommend a stay here and would definitely return.

  Fantastic cottage.

  The main living area is just so large and beautiful. The sound system was brilliant and it was such a treat to be able to play music without worrying about the neighbours! There are even speakers for the terraced area for when the weather is warm enough to be outside. Being late October we were lucky enough to have a few sunny days and enjoyed the outdoors a little. We’d love to go back in the summer. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. Everything we need was there and we cooked at home every night. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept really well every night. The location was stunning. We never tired of that wonderful view each day. We found so much joy in watching the animals in the garden and even spotted a woodpecker on one of the bird feeders. The second lounge was very useful when the children wanted to play computer games. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something a little bit special. The owners were helpful when we had a couple of queries. The only suggestion to improve things would be to perhaps redecorate the downstairs bedroom as that looked a bit tired, but in no way detracted from our holiday.

  Impossible to say too many good things about The Banquet House.

  For us the main thing was the garden being secure, which it is. Completely walled and large in size, with lots of little nooks for the dogs to sniff around, and play. Parking area was gated, which gave us added security. The house offered everything we needed during our stay. Comfort, convenience and so much more. Everything you need is on your doorstep, shops for groceries, good choice of takeaways and restaurants, as well as great walks. We visited Conwy, Llandudno, Livepool, Chester and Talacre Beach. All so dog friendly and easily accessible. We were lucky with the weather during our stay, so we were able to enjoy the beautiful garden too. Jan and Mark were easily contactable during our stay, not that we needed them as everything was perfect for us. Really was a perfect and relaxing stay for us and our precious dogs, so cannot rate highly enough. We really hope to visit again soon to explore more of the area.
