  Honest review.

  Good points- + good location. Close to motorway but quiet. Snowdonia 50 minutes away. Beach 10 minutes away. Shops also nearby. + bathroom was lovely. Modern. Free standing bath. + log burner. Plenty of firework included. Heated the hut really well on cold nights. + enclosed garden was lovely for our pup to roam around! + kath was lovely and very helpful..she looked after our pup for the day so we could visit Chester zoo (definitely worth a visit!) + public footpaths on your doorstep for little walks around the area Bad points :( - not as described on the listing..states there is only 2 shepherd huts, when actually there are 5! Didn't matter too much to us as its January so not busy. However if we booked for a quiet getaway in the middle of summer, I feel I would have been very disappointed seeing so many huts there. Listing states it includes towels...we only had one bath mat left for us. Meaning we then had to go and buy towels for our stay. Kitchen is described as 'well equipped', we feel this wasn't the case. One mug and one tiny tea cup, no pint glasses, one roasting tray for oven and the frying pan wasn't bigger than my hand... we had to buy a bigger frying pan! Listing also stated dvds and games...no games were found and only 2 dvds, one of which was actually missing the disk. Having read previous reviews, it seems guests had in fact received the 'generous welcome pack' consisting of fresh eggs, bottles of bubbly, biscuits ect..we however were left just a packet of biscuits. We feel the hosts made the effort when they first started but unfortunately didn't continue. - pillows weren't to our preference- far too soft! Had to purchase another pillow as no support. Bed was also on the small side, maybe a small double? - a little curtain going across the window on the door would be good for privacy...felt uneasy sleeping knowing we could be looked at

  Our host for the week Kath was very friendly, helpful and offered if we needed, to look after our dog Maxi for us.

  Maxi had a wonderful time, plenty of room to run around and lie down whenever he pleased. The Clydes is very comfortable I am 6ft 3 and not once did I feel cramped. The hut is very comfortable, my partner who feels the cold actually had to open the windows one evening as she was too hot! We didn't use the wood burner but we did use the small electric radiator one evening when the temperature dropped. The kitchenette has more than enough space to cook, although my partner pointed out it would have been easier to prepare things if there was a board across the sink. We loved the wine and welsh cakes that were left for us and the notelet was the icing on the cake. The bathroom my partner said is 'to die for' sheer luxury in other words! Cleaning ones teeth in a morning and watching the birds at the bird feeder was an added pleasure, we even saw a woodpecker one day. We felt very much at home, more a house guest than a paying guest. It was a shame that the pub within walking distance was closed, instead we drove into St Asaph and ate a few of our meals at The Talardy Hotel (Which we can both thoroughly recommend too). Kath and The Clydes made our holiday effortless we were very sorry to leave.

  The location is perfect.

  It’s very peaceful and we especially liked the shared area outside which appeared well maintained. The lodge itself is quite cosy there is plenty of natural light throughout the day from the many windows. Our main issues with the property are to do with the general cleanliness of the property. There were cobwebs EVERYWHERE. The bed was also quite small although that is probably the biggest size that would fit in that area in the current configuration. The mattress, pillows and quilt all need to be changed, they are old and very well past their use by date. The shower was great but the shower head also needs a good clean/ replacing. The way the toilet is placed, there is no way to sit comfortably. The directions to the property also need to be looked at as it was very difficult to find with the map pin and after following the written directions, we ended up asking for directions from the pub that was literally next door. Overall we did in fact have a great time at the property, some of our gripes are very nitpicky. An extended stay at this property is probably the best thing to do as there are so many things to do nearby.

  My husband and dog Rosie spent a wonderful Christmas period at The Cyldes!

  The owner Kath was very friendly and kind and made our stay so special. We were made to feel very welcome and loved eating the deliciously fresh duck and chicken eggs from her own birds on her small holding. The location of this hut is great,- only a short drive to the beautiful hills of Snowdonia and Clywd and close to the lovely historic towns of Conwy, Bangor and Denbigh (Conwy has some wonderful ice cream parlours and lovely little boutiques too!) The hut itself has a warm and cosy feeling with a log burner and deep victorian rolled edge bath to soak in after a day of hiking. Our dog Rosie loved playing in the enclosed land and we adored watching the many birds, horses, sheep and other wildlife that the area boasted. We will definitely look at staying at this little gem off the beaten track again! Thank you so much Kath and family for a happy and memorable Christmas 2018!

  This is such a great find, perfect for me and my dog.

  Lovely tranquil spot and scenery, and location wise it couldn't be better (10mins to Llanberis, 10mins to Caernarfon, 10mins to Bangor, 20mins over to Anglesey). It had everything you need at an affordable price. Not sure why people have given a bad review, this is glamping, on a camp site, so yes there is a separate shower block, and you refill your water bottles yourself, but it's right there next to the sheppard hut. And the parking is literally a few steps from your door. It's all very convenient and to have the chemical toilet inside the hut is a huge bonus for needing a wee in the night, a lot of sheppard huts don't have that. I can't fault this place and had a wonderful stay and will definitely return. Can't believe that previous people complained. Stop being so miserable and enjoy this little gem of a place for an excellent price.
