  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.

  Booked this holiday 30th August until 6th Sept 2019.

  .. Unfortunately we had to come home on the 3rd couldn't cope with accommodation any longer... The place was spotless and well equipped but not for the elderly or disabled like the property information led us to believe … Bedroom beautiful furnished with a King size bed … Bathroom lovely big walk in shower but no grab rail or Bath mat to step out onto and it was a wooden floor so very slippy … The lounge had a sofa and two chairs which were fine if you were young but we could not get up out of them they were so low and the sofa so soft … My husband had cancer surgery and follow up treatment so we thought this would be ideal for him … we resorted to sitting on hard kitchen type chairs to watch the tele not comfortable at all... Then to top it all we arrived Friday the 30th August and on Saturday morning 31st August the road had closed for 7 weeks … no diversion signs we had to keep going well out of our way to get anywhere we were not informed about this … I am not knocking The Old Stables it was spotless and well equipped like I previously said but needs some attention to make it more ideal for the elderly and disabled we paid out £436 pound for 3 days not happy we feel we were mis informed

  We were delighted to find this little gem of a cottage in such a rural, picturesque setting. The cottage was very comfortable and extremely well equipped with quality furnishings and decor. Large fluffy bath sheets, a very comfortable bed and a powerful shower, all added to the experience. The long terraced garden with its patio was perfect for sitting out with a cup of tea and enjoying the peace and quiet. The dogs (mini schnauzers) thoroughly enjoyed racing up and down the garden, taking in all the new scents. It was reassuring to know that the whole garden was completely fenced in and dog proof. The cottage felt very removed from the hustle and bustle of every day life. The view from the window, the free ranging chickens and ducks across the road and a fabulous little pub (serving excellent food Wednesday to Sunday) being just a couple of hundred metres up the road. All these made for the perfect break. The fabulous beach and dunes at Talacre are less than three miles away and Prestatyn is only a few miles down the road. Our host Rhian was lovely and on the end of the phone if we needed to speak to her. Do give the cottage a try, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

  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.

  We super enjoyed our three night stay here it’s extremely well situated with Delamere Forest just over the road and the station with links to local cities a short drive to other attractions too.

  It was immaculately clean and full of everything you may need for self catering which is great, the bathroom is very luxurious, the water pressure is amazing and the whole home is lovely and warm with excellent heating and plenty of radiators throughout. Two areas that could be improved is it is supposed to be an enclosed garden however my dog could fit under the gate so perhaps something on the bottom of the gate or additional gate on the garden would be super then I could leave my dog to roam safely. The lounge curtains are very thin having a thermal curtains would make it a lot warmer and cosier. We hope to return in December for a weeks stay and in future too thanks for a lovely break
