What our customers say about their holidays

  The owners of Panteg Farm are very lovely and welcoming, they left us a lovely welcome basket of welsh cakes, fresh milk from the farm, a bottle of wine and some butter.

  Overall we enjoyed our stay however there are some things that dampened our stay. Pro's- lovely large house with plenty of space, blackout blind in the babys little bedroom, enclosed garden safe for children, firestick for the tvs, owners let the kids come and see the cows being milked and the baby calves getting their milk and taught us all about the workings of the farm. Lovely big kitchen, undercover hot tub, washing machine and tumble dryer. Lovely new carpets inside, all cleaning products/cling film/foil were provided for us (aside from washing machine things). Cons- owners live in very close proximity to the house and overlooking the hot tub patio. Working dogs loose on site at times, on our last day one large dalmation ran up barking its head off at the kids who had just got out of the car and luckily were already on the other side of the gate, but it was then stood between the adults in the car with the baby and the gate entrance to the house. Flies- you are in the middle of a working dairy farm and the flies were something else. It was not nice in the kitchen even with the fly lamp. Had to keep all the doors and windows shut to keep the flies out, with the Rayburn/Aga on full blast the whole time the heat was stifling trying to cook. A lot if things around the kitchen needed fixing. The oven didn't close properly, the fridge door didn't close properly- the second fridge/freezer was wobbly and rusty. Sone essential supplies like baking trays and a large chopping board were missing, had to request pint glasses. We were only provided one tea towel for the week until more were requested. There was no access to spare linen which would have been handy with small children. Mattress in the main bedroom is a bit knackered and sagging, ended up with back ache every morning. Net curtains were thrown over the tops of the curtain rails in the bathrooms, bathroom cupboard doors were falling off its hinges. Jacuzzi bath had all of its jets disabled and the metal edges were all peeling. No shower head for rinsing. Hot tub outside was nice but all the chemicals were just left on the floor for inquisitive children to get access to. Headboards were disintegrating leaving bits of rubber sometimes floating in the water. 1 metre past the 1mtre high fence of the back garden is a 2mtre at least drop down into a bramble filled stream which in late August was a gentle trickle, but I imagine it gets much higher at other times of year. A 3 year old in our group easily found a lower part in the fencing and hopped it. There was no barbecue unlike most places we have been previously None of this stopped us from having a good time during our week, but regretfully we would not likely return (mainly due to the flies - we counted 150 dead in a 24 hour period in one room) despite the owners being very lovely and making sure most days that we were ok. Unfortunately most of these things would not have been quick fixes for them while we were there.

  A hidden gem!

  The farmhouse is beautifully situated giving breathtaking views and the true feel of a rural farm retreat. The farmhouse along with it's large garden, patio and hot tub are all completely enclosed to allow children to safely run free and play with the garden games provided. The house has plenty of space for a large family or group to gather around the traditional farmhouse kitchen table, chill out in the lounge or spend time alone enjoying the setting. Added bonus of a lovely child friendly lounge seperate to the main lounge. Plenty of books and games to entertain children and adults. Our children described the beds as like sleeping on clouds and the main bathroom as the "fancy bathroom" and the downstairs wetroom is ideal for those less mobile. The whole house was immaculately clean and contains everything you could possibly need. The host was absolutely perfect from the moment of booking and nothing was too much trouble. She was a wealth of information on the local area and always on hand without being intrusive. The children enjoyed watching the animals pottering around and the adults loved the information on the farm tour. We all enjoyed the homemade Welsh Cakes so much that Ann kindly made us a tub to take home! I always struggle to find a break to suit the whole families needs, we wanted a rural house with countryside views, near to the beach and castles, but also within reach of a retail park. Somewhere that the boisterous children would be entertained but my autistic son could have peace and quiet... it turns out that the impossible is possible at Pant Teg! This is 100% the best trip we have had and an absolute bargain! We can't wait to return.

  The owners were very friendly and helpful.

  The property was a lovely rustic old farmhouse and the outside was in good repair, on a very beautiful farm with amazing views and walks around the area, the play area was great for the kids. On arrival the farmhouse was clean and had plenty of cutlery, dishes etc... However, unfortunately there was quite a few things wrong whilst we were on holiday... No hotwater in the ensuite at all, only one person could have hot water in the morning if someone had a shower in the main bathroom. Light wasn't working in kitchen, but was quickly fixed by the owners, on our last day the electric kept going off, the microwave had no numbers on to tell us how long to put it on for, the remote control had worn off the writing too, so no idea how to use the that. No instructions left to use any of the equipment in the property, such as washing machine, dryer, dishwasher etc... The hob only worked on the left hand side. We weren't able to use the hot tub very much due to the weather, which is not the owners fault, but perhaps for future use they could put a covering of some sort over the pergola so people could still enjoy the hot tub in the rain etc... Also the fairy lights over the hot tub on pergola didn't work, would have been a nice touch on the evenings if they had worked, when we were able to use it. Also the flies and wasps were quite an issue, I had to buy a fly swatter as it got so bad everytime we opened the door to let some air in the conservatory as there was no windows. But being on a farm this was expected.

  “The house is a beautiful sanctuary" It is warm and inviting and has everything you could need for a great family stay.

  We particularly appreciated: -The space – Disney Package - Good wi-fi - beautiful bedrooms - large bathrooms - Cleaning Products - Board games - Washer and dryer. The house is beautifully furnished and the Master Suite with dressing room and double shower is enviable! The whole house was spotlessly clean. The sofa was very comfy and all beds were comfy. The hot tub was enjoyed daily and was great after a day out. From the back of the house there are incredible view of the sea and the sunsets were awesome. The garden was child friendly. We recommend: - SC2 for the Water Park and Ninja Tag – Prestatyn Beach for walks and amazing coffees from the Nova Centre – Rozi’s award winning Indian Restaurant for takeaway - food was awesome and cost around £50 for enough of a feast for 4 adults and 3 children. The Zip World was so much fun and FFOREST Activity Centre for High Ropes, The Plummet, Tree Hoppers. I wanted to do paddleboarding and there is a place in Rhyl but the sea was a little cold for me. The Dyserth Waterfall was worth a walk up and also the North Wales Garden Centre had a great selection of plants and gifts – well worth a visit We would suggest new pillows for beds as they are so thin and large serving spoons and casserole dishes. A nice coffee machine would make my mornings better. Our host Kayleigh responded promptly to any queries during our stay. Do we recommend - Oh yes. Will we be back - For sure.

  Party of 8 booked for 7 nights, what a nice house.

  very roomy downstairs plenty of space to spread out. well equipped kitchen (could do with a filter coffee machine though) loads of pots and pans, baking dishes etc. dish washer in kitchen with two fridges in the utility room next to kitchen. comfy lounge with large telly and two sofa's (see pictures). Conservatory with wood burner also sporting two sofas most comfortable, spent most of my time in here when not out, eating or sleeping. has a big table and seating for 8/10 ish without a squeeze. upstairs, most comfortable I thought the beds were just fine as beds go, which is somewhat subjective etc. headroom is on the low side caught my head twice on doorways i'm only 5-11 you have been warned. Fishing pond back down the lane is very much worth bringing some fishing gear for, over a 7 day stay two of us managed to land 70 odd fish mostly common & mirror carp and some small tench, most of the carp were 1/2 to 1 lb or so, we did manage to connect to and land several larger fish in the 6-8 lbs range and one bigger common of 13-15 lbs approx. larger fish were taken on ledger rig into middle of the pond however several of the larger fish also readily responded to float methods at short range.
