  Amazing place with fantastic views.

  A very well thought out property, which at first glance appears like a rabbit warren. Every space has been utilised to the best. The main rooms all had fantastic views of the sea. We found the many light switches in the main room hilarious to fathom as those that settled in earlier could hear clicking as we switched off at nighttime. We were a mix of middle aged and grandchildren celebrating two 60th birthdays. We were blessed with great weather, but there is plenty to see even off season. The children had plenty of room to explore and run about outside. We had everything available to cook family meals, were warm enough even when we had frozen nights. Nothing but the finest in the quality of beds and furnishings. The towels were huge and fluffy. Plenty of hot water for relaxing in the bath. We would certainly love to return sometime. Now the negatives. We arrived to a sink full of dirty water with two sponges floating in it. The place was surface clean only, with dirty and greasy oven pans. Mouse droppings under the big coffee table in the lounge and other bits under sofas, a hair bobble, Pringles lid etc. (I have photos). The cleaners don’t appear to have the tools to do a good job. There were nothing to clean the oven with. The vacuum cleaner was blocked with hair. Upon unblocking it, the hoover collected a full container of fluff and worked perfectly. The shower room upstairs smells of dirty mop. We purchased two bottles of bathroom drain unblocker and lifted the drain bar..it needs doing again to solve a simple problem. People have commented on this before. One toaster, reported broken Sept 21 is still broken. A pane of toughened glass was shattered out on the decking (wasn’t an issue but needs fixing). It was after two storms. We had to buy the basics in order to keep the place clean, washing up liquid, surface cleaner, a dish cloth, bathroom sponges, green veg recycling bags. These are usually provided on all holiday rentals. Really picky now. There is only one pillow per head, so if you sleep more raised up, you will have to bring your own. Please don’t be put off. The place has the wow factor and we had a fabulous stay

  The Farmhouse is grand and spacious.

  There was a place to store everything, for example, plenty of coat hooks, cupboards etc and the laundry room was wonderful for drying out swimming costumes! It was warm and comfortable, and the wood burner was an added bonus during the colder nights. The hot tub was glorious, and it was great to relax in the sunshine, listening to the lambs in the nearby field. Unfortunately, the internet couldn't cope with our demands and was intermittent. If it was possible to install a decent broadband connection, we would be willing to pay a bit extra for the week, as it would have made the media room more accessible. There was also a Wii which hadn't been mentioned in the listings, and we would have brought games for the Wii had we known. The blue ray controller was missing in the media room too. There was also a downstairs toilet (as well as the enough suite for the downstairs bedroom) which was useful, and I hadn't noticed that in the listings either. However, considering the house had not been used for a while due to lockdown, it was a wonderful place for an enjoyable, relaxing, quiet break away. We particularly enjoyed visiting Brenig, the lake at Bala and wandering around Ruthin.

  Fabulous property - wonderfully spacious and general layout of the house worked really well.

  The owners were very communicative both ahead of our stay and whilst we were on holiday - they made us feel very welcome and gave some great recommendations of places to visit. They also left some really thoughtful, locally sourced welcome gifts - including bara brith, welsh cakes, welsh butter and beer. The hot tub was a great addition and a really good size and it was helpful in the evenings having two reception rooms as it meant the children could watch tv in one room whilst the adults were in another. The garden space is well maintained with a good bbq available to use. In terms of location - it is remote but with that comes beautiful views and a very peaceful break. It is about a 10 minute drive to Corwen (a lovely little village, with a nice cafe for breakfast and a fantastic 'giant adventure' walk in the surrounding hills). Bala is about 10 minutes drive away as well - a nice town with a beautiful lake. Larger towns (including a large supermarket) were about 20-25 minutes drive away. All in all, I couldn't recommend this property enough, in particular if it is a holiday for multiple families as the space is great.

  I was called at the end of the holiday by one of your colleagues, who told me that two duvets were missing.

  I was driving and said we had not taken them. When I was able to stop I called others in the house and they said that an enthusiastic teenager may have misread the instructions (they contradict in emails and leaflets) and put the duvets in the washing bag. I then spent 15 minutes trying to phone through and suggest this to your colleague but ended up speaking to a rude man who refused to take a message until I told him my name, address, email and phone number. Given that this had already cost me at least half an hour to simply make a suggestion that someone should look in the laundry, I was more than a little short and simply told him to take a message. This he refused to do without all the other information. I put the phone down. He knew my name, he had already looked at the account and knew which house we had hired. Why he wouldn’t take a message, I do not know…… We didn’t steal the duvets, they will be in the laundry, and I will be sorely angry if you charge me for two duvets on the back of his inability to simply take a message……
