Great house, wonderful host
Great house in a convenient location. Lots of space and everything you need for a comfortable stay.We travelled over from Canada and drove straight up from Heathrow. When we arrived, the host had left enough food for our breakfast the following morning as well as milk and tea for us. Couldn’t ask for anything better after 15 hours of travel.

Overall very pleasant stay
I was a little unsure as we approached the property as it wasn't as imagined but once arrived, the property was clean, homely, welcoming and well supplied with everything needed. It is in a good location with access to Llangollen and Snowdonia and the general area. Very warm and comfortable. We travelled from Devon for an old friends wedding and our party consisted of 3 adults and 2 dogs - all were catered for and was a lovely family stay. Unfortunately the narrowboats which I had hoped my elderly Mum could sit and watch were not running but it was not an issue.

Great break
Fantastic location next to the canal enjoyed watching boats going past. Nice walks around and other places nearby. Only thing wrong with the discrimination of the property is it says it has a hot tub but it has a bath inside the house and no hot tub outside. We still enjoyed our visit
