  We've just returned from an absolutely wonderful 4 nights in the Declaration Suite over the Easter bank holiday.

  The apartment was very well appointed and IMMACULATE, with a spotless kitchen and mould/watermark free bathrooms - even the skirting boards were dust free! The beds were very comfortable and the main bed was wider than a King. The second bedroom was arranged as two singles for our teenagers; both beds were comfortable and there was a fantastic dressing table, which our daughter was very pleased to discover! The owners supplied thick, soft blankets which were perfect for sofa snuggles, and protecting the lovely white bedding from paw prints. The music theme decor included a record player (which the kids had never seen before!) with Bluetooth technology, keeping everyone entertained. Everything Jules and Mike advertised is accurate - the owners really do care about guests having a fantastic experience. Gail managed our stay personally, sharing local information, offering to make table reservations, and checking in on us to see if we were happy or needed anything at all. She also recommended a local takeaway that we ordered from on JustEat - recommend the pizza! We didn't try any restaurants/pubs, but there were plenty to choose from locally, and in Prestatyn and Rhyl. First class service, in a first class establishment! Points to consider: 1) the high windows have roller blinds blinds, which are very easy to use, but allowed light in through all sides - easily reduced by putting spare pillows on the windowsills to block the gap! We would take blindfolds next time. 2) there are OODLES of sightseeing and walking opportunities nearby; definitely take walking boots/shoes as the local typography is very hilly. There's a flat, paved beach walk/cycle from Prestatyn to Rhyl, which took us an hour to walk both ways with the dog. Be aware that the path is open to dogs, but the sandy beaches aren't from May until after the summer. Check when the tide goes out if you want sandy toes in the a.m.! 3) there's a Tesco, Lidl and Aldi a short drive away (plus the usual shops found on retail parks). We would've packed less food and shopped locally after arriving. 4) if you're not used to sleeping in a flat/apartment, you might consider ear plugs, just in case the guests above you are up later than you are. The first guests above us made more noise, but the second guests were very quiet and didn't disturb us at all. Gail was thoughtful and vigilant in ensuring guests were aware and considerate of eachother.

  On arrival, out of respect, I took my shoes off but unfortunately the carpet in the bedroom was soaking wet.

  When discussed with staff, they said it had been deep cleaned prior to us arriving. The cabin was clean and well presented but unfortunately with the carpet being so wet, there was a strong damp smell throughout. The shower was cold. This was mentioned to the reception staff, no one came to sort it. Due to having PTSD, I have a service dog. I explained this to staff but unfortunately this wasn’t passed down and I was repeatedly questioned by multiple staff (some lovely, some not so kind) about this even though she had her labelled harness on. Unfortunately, 1 member of the bar staff was extremely rude- when I went to the bar to get a drink she was standing with her work colleague, looked me up and down and said to her work colleague ‘You can sort that one’. There was a dog roaming around outside the cabins, pooing everywhere which the owner didn’t clean up even though there are lots of dog bins. I had to point this out to staff. I refuse to pick up other people’s dogs poo. On leaving, there were two males sat in their car on the carpark right outside reception smoking very strong cannabis. Marian staff were seen walking past the car but nothing was mentioned. The car parking spaces were small and the disabled parking spaces were small too, there was only 4 and were being used by people in large trucks with no blue badges displayed. As a disabled badge owner, this is extremely frustrating!! I would like to say on a positive note- Jason the handyman was an absolute godsend and I wished I got to thank him before we left.

  I was on a week's holiday with my mum and we were in the ground floor flat.

  This is a little gem - it feels like it it sin the middle of nowhere, but 5 minutes down the road is a retail park with lots of shopping options, including Tesco, Aldi and M&S food hall, as well as non-food outlets. The property was extremely well equipped - all bed linen and towels, toilet rolls, everything needed to wash up and everything you could need in the kitchen, including all instructions for appliances. There were games in the living room cupboard and in the hallway cupboard was a vacuum cleaner, ironing board and iron and a fan (which was very welcome). Lots of leaflets about places to visit which were helpful. Chester city is an easy 15 minute drive away and Grosvenor multi-storey is a great central place to park (£7.80 for upto 4 hours and £10 for the day). The only reasons I have given it 4 stars is I didn't find the mattress in the double room particularly comfortable but I think it was an Ikea mattress and I have never got on with those and as we were in the ground floor flat, you could hear people moving about in the upstairs flat - I was very glad the upstairs flat didn't have children with them because I would imagine that could be quite noisy if they were running about.

  This cottage is in a great location for visiting North Wales.

  Selling point for us is the covered verandah and decking which housed the hot tub, outside table and chairs, double swinging seat. So even on the days when the weather was drizzling with rain, we were still able to enjoy the outside space. The cottage is cosy and spacious. The warm air radiators are lovely and responsive should you need them to take the chill off on a cold wet day. Welcome basket was a very nice touch and very generous too with fresh baked bread, shortbread, kettle chips, bottle of wine, coffee, welsh butter and cheese. A couple of small issues were quickly dealt with by the lovely hosts, there was an essential item missing from the kitchen which was rectified almost immediately. I would like to see a couple more dishes in the kitchen, maybe supply enough for 6, then there is always extra dishes to use for serving up etc. and a colander would have been useful - small things that would make life a little easier if you want to cook and eat in. But that didnt detract from our enjoyment. The best compliment we could pay is to say that we would return to the lovely Acorns cottage.

  Well managed accommodation with extra finishing touches of a welcome pack for us and the dog.

  It was immaculately clean with thought put in to keep it covid secure. It was a good size apartment for a family of 4 with a small dog, in an ideal location to discover the North Welsh coast as well as Chester and surrounding areas. Having a retail park so close with cinema was ideal for bored teenagers whilst we travelled further afield. The rooms were simply furnished ideal for a puppy that chews everything. We had to keep him on lead in the small garden as it was only a simple fence. There was also access to the farmer's field if he needed more space to explore. Definitely would recommend as an ideal base to explore the area. Easy to find, right next to the airbus factory, although this did not bother us at all. We kept missing the big transporter aeroplane's daily flight which we actually wanted to see close up. 5* stay for us.
