  We had a wonderful relaxing break at the cabin.

  It was just what we needed and the location was perfect. It is just out of the way of the hustle and bustle if you want to shut yourself away & chill but also Llangollen & its amenities are very accessible if you wish to stretch your legs and explore. The river is truly beautiful and the local shops makes you feel like you’re on holiday. We visited further afield visiting Betws-y-coed, Conwy & Llandudno, would recommended all three places to truly see some of the beauties Wales has to offer. The aquaduct locally is also a wonderful sight to walk to and drive by. The horseshoe pass was an experience but worth it to see the breathtaking views. The bed was very comfortable, couch/living area were comfortable to sit and relax of an evening. We made use of the kitchen and cooked some meals aswell as trying out the local restaurants/takeaways. We used the hot tub every evening - the view from it is truly lovely especially under the stars. We used the table tennis facilities in the garage and there were plenty of games in the cupboard for us to use. The hot tub was easy to use and has cushioned steps making it very accessible. It is secluded or doesn’t have anything around it to cover it up from the other house on site (as I’d read on some other reviews) but that really didn’t bother us as the other property does have something on place to cover their patio space. Would definitely recommend the Corn Mill restaurant, perfect for us sitting outside with our dog. Nemo fish bar was great for fish & chips during the day. We travelled a bit further for an Indian takeaway in Chirk but it was still perfectly hot when we arrived back 20 minutes later. We took our dog and the communal space between the cabin and the house was perfect for her to explore and sniff. Felt very secure with the fencing and the gate closed at all times, she was able to mooch about and still be completely safe. Recommendations: If planning on using the hot tub every evening like we did, maybe take an extra towel aside from your shower/bath towel as we struggled to get ours dry because of frequent use. Probably could always ask the owner for additional towels or to use the dryer on site. Make sure you definitely read the leaflets provided about the rubbish and recycling rules so you can abide by them. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will definitely return again in the future.

  On the face of it, the property was extremely cosy and had many positives.

  The location was brilliant, with shops like Aldi, home bargains petrol stations close by, good parking, interior decor was charming and homely, really appreciated the brownies on entry, hot tub was excellent, and table tennis and board games were well stocked, water pressure was excellent. However there were a few issues, mostly minor, but a few major ones which dampened the stay, and would've been ideal to have some warning ahead of time. We appreciate that all may not have been given, but for the price point, and comparing with previous experiences, there were some expectations missed. Minor: - The kitchen wasn't very well stocked. Salt and pepper shakers were empty, there was no oil, there was no chopping board (or atleast we didn't find one) - The bathroom had no toiletries and only one spare tissue roll - There was no table football as advertised Major: - Bed was extremely squeaky, to the point we were woken up multiple times during the night - The 'game room' seemed like it would be a room in itself from the listing, however, it turned out to be the garage with the door removed so it was always open. This is fine, except for the fact it seemed like the garage area hadn't been cleaned in a while so there was a lot of dust and cobwebs which made the space a little unpleasant to use. THINGS TO NOTE FOR GUESTS: - Not obvious from the listing, but there is another property right next-door and while the house itself is private, the hot tub is clearly visible to the neighbouring house. This wasn't an issue for us, but maybe for others.

  We had such an amazing and relaxing week here!

  The hosts were lovely and very quick with replying to any queries we had. They did daily checks on the hot tub but access through the gate and there's no disturbance to you in the house. My partner was originally a bit anxious about the roadside parking but due to the street being permit only, there weren't many cars other than residents. Also with the house being end of the row we could pull straight into the space each day. The inside was amazing! Very well decorated and furnished and it was very homely. The heating (a must at this time of year) was very easy to control and kept the lounge very cosy. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was perfect! We must admit the master bedroom took longer to get warm and didn't stay warm for long, but we didn't spend much time in there other than to sleep. *if you're thinking of stopping here you MUST use the hot tub, it was a perfect way to relax after a long day* The location is brilliant too. Co-op and Tesco are both in walking distance, there's pubs, restaurants and takeaways all within walking distance too. There's plenty of places to visit no more than an hour's drive, and Snowdonia isn't far either by car. Ruthin itself is a lovely little town (village?) it was quiet during the week but really came to life on the Saturday. 100% recommended staying here!

  Hen Blaid is simple clean and modern (smart tv and wifi) and was excellent accommodation for us (two adults and two dogs) for a week stay, during which the weather was awful.

  We still managed many walks - (as described some were straight from the door) and were able to take a few trips out (Bala, Barmouth) if you are prepared for non-urban roads (very narrow, passing places etc.) and add appropriately to your journey time there are some great trips close by. This (speed of travel or the weather) may also be the reason the area was wonderfully quiet. We did a three mile walk every morning and a longer walk every day, mostly on the forestry trails, we never met a person (we bumped into our host and Bob the dog once - and they work there!) there were people down at the dam and the cafes and short walks there. How much of this was due to the weather who knows. We left a couple of old books and a local area map, which might be useful for other guests, also it might be an idea to have the oven and tv manuals in the info pack (not very complicated to work out but easier with manuals) also adding the nearest hospital, doctor and vet to the existing lists provided might be useful. We have neglected Wales over the last few years but now the children are grown this was a wonderful encounter with the heart of the country and lived up to expectation and we hope to return.

  What an idyllic place to stay!

  The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival and very cozy, comfortable bed and lovely little bathroom with an excellent shower. The owners (who were very welcoming when we saw them the next day) had left all the essentials for a cup of tea/coffee on arrival which was appreciated and also the thoughtful addition of Welsh cakes and a bottle of wine. What we absolutely fell in love with though was the views looking out over lake vyrnwy, the website photos don’t prepare you for how beautiful they are and waking up to that each morning of our stay and watching the sun set over it in the evening was just perfect, we didn’t want to leave. This was the perfect base for our getaway with our newborn and two dogs, the owner offered a travel cot but we had our own - nice to know that they have that facility though. There are lots of lovely pram friendly walks near by, we loved the sculpture trail around lake vrynwy and also had a lovely day out walking round Bala which is not too far to drive to. We would definitely come back here or to one of the other 2 adjoining cottages as it was just beautiful.
