• "The couple are extremely lovely and helpful."

  Very knowledgable of the area and we’re great at giving you ideas of what to do. Communication with them was great. You didn’t know you was staying on a farm only the fact you got up in the morning to cows mooing, usually farms smell but this wasn’t the case. The barn conversion itself is lovely. All open planned downstairs, upstairs again very spacious. The only negative feed back I would have to say is the furniture of the property is very old fashioned and really needs updating to give the over finish a great quality. The sofa is very very uncomfortable.The beds need replacing. Also I would change the bed size upstairs to king size Like downstairs as there’s plenty of room to do so. The views from the upstairs main room was lovely to wake up to everyday which we will miss. Overall really enjoyable stay and was sad to leave.

• "In general, we enjoyed the stay."

  Bedrooms were excellent and the hot tub was appreciated. The major cricism was the extremely uncomfortable seating in the lounge area. The two chairs had seen better days and the sofa was quite uncomfortable - very hard seating. Six people would have been very uncomfartable. Although the kitchen was adequate there are problems with an aging cooker - symbols are badly worn, making electric rings difficult to recognise. Local information and tourist leaflets need updating. Directions to cottage could be made much clearer.

• "Just come home after a lovely six nights here with my daughter."

  We had a really lovely stay despite the weather not being the greatest. We had slow mornings reading or watching a dvd and then went out exploring for the day. The kitchen had everything we needed and was extremely well kitted out. Love the large fridge freezer! Having a bathroom each was lovely too. The beds were very firm and we aren’t used to this so both found them a little uncomfortable. Perhaps a mattress topper would be nice? The sofa was also a little uncomfortable, but the chairs were fine. There is a single track road and only on two occasions did we meet another vehicle. Due to the high rainfall it was a bit tricky finding an adequate place to pull over but we managed. The hot tub was amazing! As were the friendly cats. Would love to come back again.

  Thank you for your kind words and friendship and for staying at our farm holiday cottage and making the most of every bit of sunshine seen with the Welsh weather at its wettest on record. I do hope you can return in the future to appreciate the Welsh country side without the wind and daily rain fall but that did not deter use of the hot tub to relax and unwind and visit tourist spots in North Wales. Diolch / Thank you. Property Owner

• "Although we had what we needed for the weeks' stay, a few things were not as expected."

  The road leading to the property is a single track, very bumpy with overgrown hedges for a couple of miles. So this property won't be for you if you have a large car, unless you mind a few scratches. The property was average, a few broken bits when we arrived, blinds not shutting properly, towel rails and door handles hanging off. Sofa not comfortable, we were out most days to be fair, but the last day decided to chill, the wifi is non existent. The bonus was the hot tub though.

• "The cottage is spacious, well-equipped and the downstairs bedroom and shower room made it easily accessible for our elderly mum."

  The location is fairly remote and very beautiful - the view from the terrace and the upstairs double bedroom is quite gorgeous, You do have to drive down narrow, winding, hilly, single-track lanes to reach it, but we got used to that. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Only negative is that dogs aren't allowed, meaning that the whole family couldn't stay. We would stay here again if we were returning to the area.

• "We had a lovely couple of days staying at the cottage."

  The house was extremely clean and well-equipped right down to extra games for the children. The house was warm and the hot pool wonderful! No complaints on that score at all. One suggestion of better information on finding the property itself. Given that I had the owners mobile number I was unperturbed when we got lost -until I discovered we had no mobile signal. However, the local Post Office soon put us on the right track. Would definitely recommend this property and would be happy to return.

  Which we got but that takes away from the accommodation. It was a lovely farm cottage with everything we needed. Clean and well equipped so we felt like we were on holiday, but relaxed enough to feel at home.

• "Anwen was a really nice and please host."

  From before we got there Anwen text us directions of how to find the cottage that were excellent, as I wouldn’t have stood a chance without them. The cottage was ideally located for visiting local attractions and the scenery breath taking. My wife and kids enjoyed the hot tub. The only small criticism if you could call it that was the sofa was very hard so you couldn’t relax, the chair next to the sofa was fine so I sat there, but we were out 90% of the time so only a little moan. Amenities in the cottage were great. I would highly recommend the cottage.

• "Although the glorious weather was a fabulous bonus we could not fault Ysgubor Barn, we were met at the door by Anwen the owner who showed us around the cottage and its superb facilities."

  Anwen gave us lots of information about the local area and things to do further afield. We are a family of five my wife and I, our daughter and partner and our four year old grandson, the cottage met our needs perfectly with a ground floor bedroom and bathroom for the old folks and the younger ones upstairs in two bedrooms with a shared bathroom. The cottage is on a working farm in the middle of nowhere, the only noise came from the farm animals and the occasional tractor. That said it is only a five minute drive to Abergele with a good selection of shops and a large Tesco, fifteen to twenty minutes takes you Colwyn Bay with its super beaches. In thirty minutes you can be in the beautiful Victorian seaside town of Llandudno or Conway with its thirteenth century castle and Thomas Telford bridge. All in all this cottage has it all and we would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful break but with lots of attractions close by.

  In particular, we looked forward to relaxing in the hot tub after I day out exploring. The three bedrooms were all roomy and comfortable with fabulous views over the farm, countryside and snow mountains in the background. A remote but at the same time central location for exploring north wales; just half hour drive from Llandudno and beautiful Conwy. There was two large shower rooms with powerful hot showers. The open plan lounge/ diner was perfect for our family of 5 to relax in and spend time together in the evening. We had a really lovely three day break and thank Anwen for her kind hospitality.
