  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.

  A well equipped comfortable cottage just inside Wales.

  The kitchen is well appointed with a new electric range cooker and all the other mod cons needed. Full instructions for use are also provided unlike some cottages. Main bedroom is large with a very comfortable bed, the galley nature of this was barely noticeable as there were just the two of us, although I can see that if you came with a family you would want to use the curtain provided to give some privacy. The bathroom is perfectly adequate if somewhat compact. The property was well cleaned and ready on our arrival. The sighting of the cottage was perfect for visiting Llangollen with it's steam railway and canal/aqueducts, both of which are recommended visits, Bala and its lake and railway, Chester with it's Roman history as well as Shrewsbury and Welshpool. The village stores locally and in Chirk are good as are the butchers in Llangollen and Chirk. Our only real criticism was the on road parking which although adequate in itself made it difficult to turn around without using nearby driveways which we were asked not to do. Other than that a good place to stay and one we could use again in the future.

  I have published this review on Google maps as a local guide: Absolutely fantastic place to stay.

  The beautifully decorated pods are clearly a labour of love for the owners Jo and Sion who were also really friendly and helpful during our stay. They have everything you need from the basics like cooking equipment, towels etc to the not so basic like local guide maps, LED candles for romantic evening and nice thoughtful touches like leaving a torch hanging by the door for if you need to go out at night. They are also awesome for the modern traveller like me and my wife with USB ports for phone charging, WiFi, Amazon fire TV and even built in voice assistant (Fantastic for getting your favourite music playing for cooking and relaxing!). The views behind the pods are stunning and worth a wander out to with your morning coffee. The grounds are nice to wake up to and have hammocks which are lovely on a nice day. They are a little intimidating to get to first attempt (a small price to pay for having such a secluded retreat) but my advice is believe Google maps even when you start thinking "this can't be right"! It will get you there in the end. https://goo.gl/maps/jABJ5owwRmfAj5tT9

  Our lodge was in a lovely spot, up in the corner and a short walk to the facilities.

  It was clean but did have a dog smell. (I chose a doggie lodge as I wanted the option to invite a friend I was visiting in Wales over for coffee with her dogs, but we always went out!). The shower was big and always had plenty of hot water. The spa was a bit disappointing. The jacuzzi was attached to the pool and was cold (we had goosebumps!), the sauna had 'turned itself off' so was only 50 rather than 80 as it heated back up, but the steam room was good. We ate at the restaurant the first night and enjoyed our food and drinks. We were given vegan custard without being told it was vegan, but the colour and consistency of it looked all wrong. This was sorted quickly and yummy ice-cream was brought out very quickly to go with the delicious sticky toffee pudding! Huge range of cocktails on offer too.

  Overall it was a lovely stay and great location/ surroundings in the hamlet of Gwaenysgor.

  Enough space for us both with our two beagles but we were received to have had such good weather so we were able to utilise both indoor and outdoor spaces. Dogs were mostly able to run round the whole plot with a few exceptions where they chose to go under or over some gaps. Inside was lovely but some attention to detail with more hooks and bigger shelves would help alot. Under bench storage was well used. Some small issues regarding a loose bathroom door handle and cleaning of windows would have made it perfect. One issue we had was more options for rubbish, glass and recycling would have helped but we had to just leave glass bottles out next to the single general waste wheelie bin. Overall we would absolutely recommend this location and we'd consider returning in the future. Thanks Jonathan
