  We spent the week here just after lockdown - a much needed break!

  The cottage was beautiful and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is stocked well with just about every utensil you could need. We didn't fancy eating out in the current climate but made fabulous meals in the cottage. There's a Tesco not far away, and a large Morrisons in Wrexham so we were able to stock up for the week on arrival. The beds are comfy and rooms spacious enough with plenty of drawer and cupboard space. There's a few dvd's that you can watch, and there's even a landline phone in the cottage - mobile reception isn't that great, but there's wifi to connect to. There are still a lot of places closed due to the covid pandemic, but we found lots to do regardless. We spent a day at the Welsh Mountain Zoo which was fabulous (take a picnic as there's only one coffee shop open and not much choice for eating). We went to Llandudno for the day and took the cable cars on The Great Orme - amazing views! Watch out for the seagulls on the beautiful pier though - took the ice cream right out of my little boys hand!! We also spent a day at Talacre beach - really nice beach and the lighthouse is beautiful. We had a wonderful, relaxing week at Nant Yr Hendre, and did not want to leave! The hot tub was a hit with all of us and we used it every day at least once. There's a barbecue which we used when the weather was sunny, and there's so much space for the kids to play safely too. I would highly recommend this cottage and we hope to return next year :)

  We had a fabulous time staying at Lock cottage.

  It is a charming ,characterful cosy cottage situated on a lock.The location is amazing just by the quays,shops cafes etc and at the side is a bridge over to woodlands and walks to the Priory.The cottage has a back garden which is a sun trap but it also has a front area ,where we watched the boats go by ! Two bathrooms and sitting rooms gave us plenty of space to spread out and relax in. As it is detached, we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about neighbours.The house is near the road so you will hear some traffic as it goes over the swing bridge but it is more of a low hum and didn't bother us plus the windows are double glazed.Finally,the owners left some chocolate biscuits and tea,so we could enjoy a cuppa on our arrival. Many Thanks.

  We loved the size,location and quirkiness of the house but felt it could do with some tlc.

  The seals on both of the showers need replacing. The downstairs shower wasn't clean and the door comes off the rails so we never used this one. There is obviously a problem with the pipe work in the upstairs shower as we had to continuously empty the trap (as we were told in the paperwork) but this didn't solve the problem as the shower tray kept filling up. Some of the pillows and one of the single quilts were very lumpy. These items are not expensive to replace but make a big difference to your comfort for a week. The Hoover was packed full so we weren't able to use it. The house is lovely and some small changes would make it very special.

  Overall we had a wonderful stay at Lock House and would certainly like to come again.

  The house was warm and comfortable and, while it was superficially clean, there were cobwebs and several areas, (skirting boards and pipework), would benefit from a deep clean which I am sure will happen before the main letting seasons begins. As we have a holiday cottage ourselves in Cornwall we do understand how hard it can be to maintain standards, but we felt that the range of mismatched crockery, cutlery and glassware let the property down. Our son commented that there were more reception rooms than there were Prosecco glasses! We bought 2 ice trays as a gift to the cottage as there were none and no -one wants a warm gin and tonic!

  What a perfect holiday, The cottage had everything one would need, home from home.

  The owners went above and beyond, always on hand if needed,Christmas tree, lemon cake and extra logs for the fire. Not forgetting the amazing brownies mid meek.The cottage made our Christmas stay so special they even put a xmas tree up. The hot tub was perfect and is emptied cleaned and refilled after every visitors stay, we went to chirk castle, Conwy, Welsh mountain zoo, Llangollen, Ruthin, we will definitely return. There has been comments about the cockerel ! It made our stay what do you expect staying in the country! Thank you so much Glenda & Clwyd you made our 1st Christmas with out my dad so nice and memorable xxx
