New Year Breaks In Wales

What our customers say about their holidays

  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.

  My partner and I stayed in Y Cartws in September 2022 and absolutely loved the accommodation!

  The photos do not do this beautiful home justice, also the grounds are very pretty and picturesque (especially by the river). Y Cartws had everything we needed and more, lots of space compared to many other holiday homes we've rented and the private hot tub a bonus (also a super fun zip wire, pet the horses and fed the goats). My partner is over 6ft 5" and he was really happy the hot tub allowed him to completely stretch out. The views were beautiful out the lounge doors, huge pear tree, hills, horses, sheep and so incredibly green. We slept like logs and the 7 days did us the world of good. The bedroom is large and there is now a side cupboard plus dressing table. We enjoyed meeting Catherine's family and they were so very helpful, welcoming and friendly, making us feel at home. The homemade brownies were very welcome after the drive, thank you. Communication with Catherine 5*. We look very forward to our next stay hopefully soon. Thanks again.

  Great lovely little cottage perfect for the 2 of us.

  Not 1 bad thing to say about it! Everything was expected and much much more! There was litrally nothing we needed that wasn't ready for us to use. Including tea coffee and sugar, kitchen utensiles, towels etc. Contacted owners for a few little decoration for my wife's birthday arrival and it was done. Thanks again for that. Love the fact it is in the middle of nowhere and enjoyed listening to the wildlife and farm animals next door. Really had the homely feel. Hot tub is in a great location and great with the curtains to pull across to block out the cold weather. Love the quirkiness of the bathroom and bedroom downstairs easy access to shower and change after being in the hot tub. Hot tub was also ready on arrival. Owners also on hand for anything that may be needed but like I say nothing else was needed. Loved the neat information folder too. Honestly 10/10. Would recommend and definatly hoping to visit again soon Thank you so much!

  The cabin is lovely and the views are stunning!

  We had a delightful break, and would recommend wholeheartedly! Only marred slightly by someone (presumably the owner but he didn't introduce so...) cleaning out the hot tub at 8 o'clock in the morning of our departure day. The cabin is east facing, so lovely sunrises, and we'd got into the habit of not shutting the blind in the kitchen area (which looks out over the deck) so we could wake with the morning sun. To have someone rattling around out there whist we were still in bed felt a bit off. As it was, we needed to pack but he wasn't to know that we hadn't done that the night before and had a morning dip in the tub planned before we left... Oh, and the fridge is really noisy when the compressor kicks in. Through the night it's a nuisance seeing as it's about 10 feet from the end of the bed. Not a complaint as such, because that's what fridges do. But light sleepers might find it disturbs their nights...
