Guests have enjoyed the spaciousness, the cinema and games rooms, and the hot tub. The property is ideal for large groups and families, offering a range of facilities and beautiful views. While some guests noted areas for improvement, the overall experience has been positive, with many looking forward to returning.

The property is consistently described as very clean, with numerous guests highlighting the spotless condition upon arrival. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the hosts.

The location is highly praised for its stunning views and proximity to local amenities and attractions. The scenic countryside and accessibility to Denbigh add to the appeal, although some guests noted the narrow access lanes.

Guests have found the property very comfortable, with ample space and cosy bedrooms. The provision of additional tables and beds for large groups has been appreciated, although some mentioned a need for more seating and storage space.

The range of facilities, including a cinema room, games room, and hot tub, has been well-received. However, some guests mentioned the need for maintenance and improvements, such as more kitchen equipment and better outdoor furniture, which affects the score.

Several guests mentioned receiving a welcome pack, which reflects the hosts' thoughtfulness. However, as these gifts are subject to the hosts' discretion and may not be provided to all guests, they should be considered a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

About this property

Denbigh 3.9 miles. Set in the village of Peniel in the Denbighshire countryside is Bryn Arwel, a stunning detached house looking out over spectacular views over the valley towards Rhyl and Prestatyn. Within the large and spacious rooms enjoy elegant décor and stylish furnishings, all to an excellent standard. The ground floor is home to a wealth of rooms to relax in; settle in front of the heat from the woodburning stove in the front sitting room, or enjoy a quiet moment in the second sitting room with a light colour scheme and electric fire. A fabulous and unique feature of this property is its very own cinema room, complete with tiered flooring, a projector, and a collection of reclining leather seating for the ultimate home cinema experience. Wind down in the games room where a pool table and football table can be enjoyed, and spend every sunny minute out in the large garden where you can lounge on the outdoor sofas, smell the food cooking on the charcoal barbecue, and take a dip in the bubbling hot tub. A second enclosed garden offers an idyllic spot, with a raised decked area and a large lawn space. Wake up and enjoy a coffee at the breakfast bar in the spacious kitchen, home to a great range of appliances, with a utility room offering further assistance in the form of a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The ground floor is completed with a king-size double bedroom and a sleek shower room, providing ground-floor accommodation for those less able. Upstairs the master bedroom boasts a wealth of amazing features; enter into a sitting area with a sofa bed, before continuing down the hall to find the spacious walk-in dressing room, an en-suite bathroom and finally entering the sleeping quarters where a super-king-size bed awaits you, looking out to the private decking where breathtaking valley views are found. There is also a king-size bedroom with a sofa bed and en-suite, a family room, a double, a twin and a single, ensuring that all party members have a beautifully decorated space to rest in at night. The town of Denbigh offers the closest spot to find all the essentials you need for a perfect self-catered stay with supermarkets and shops, as well as a selection of pubs and takeaways to enjoy. Visit Denbigh Castle for some local history, or practice your swing at Denbigh Golf Course. Llyn Brenig is a vast reservoir with a great visitor centre and is host to an array of activities, including sailing, fishing, and walking and cycling around the water, and it's just under nine miles from Bryn Awel. Spend a day on the beach at Rhyl, Prestatyn or Colwyn Bay, all classic North Wales beaches offering beautiful shorelines to explore on a sunny day. Keen walkers and cyclists can venture into the wondrous Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and find some beautiful towns and villages along the way, including Betws-y-Coed, Blaneau Ffestiniog and Bala. On the banks of the River Dee is the rich historical town of Llangollen, with a host of boutique shops, award-winning restaurants and several museums to explore awaiting you. Bryn Awel will be a perfect place to come together with your loved ones to enjoy North Wales.

Denbigh dates back to the 11th century and boasts the remains of a 13th century castle, perched on a steep hill above the town and commanding some superb views over the surrounding countryside. Denbigh is a busy little town, with a variety of shops and pubs, and a number of events including walking festivals, beer festivals, the Denbigh and Flint Annual Show, the Denbigh Plum Festival, and a monthly People's market. Within easy reach of Denbigh are the cathedral at St Asaph, the seaside resorts of Prestatyn or Llandudno, and the historic city of Chester, over the border into England. The Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park is a short drive, with its stunning lakes, mountains, walking and cycling, while the Lleyn Peninsula and excellent beaches on the Isle of Anglesey are ideal for a day trip. Plenty to see and do at any time of the year!

    We stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The facilities were amazing and the kitchen was perfect for a large group of people or any families that want a holiday. The house is perfectly located with a quick 10 minute drive to Denbigh for any supplies, food, or exploring. The only things that I could possibly mention that were negative (and they're incredibly minor) are that the photos on the listing are older, which meant that some items in the house aren't there anymore or some extra additions are there now. The other thing was that the Internet/WiFi was a tad slow in the house. Again, this is incredibly minor for families who want to get away from everything for a vacation. However, due to my visit having friends from all over Europe wanting to contact their families, browse for things to do, organize flights back and travel, it made it slightly awkward for them. The two negatives I listed are very very minor, definitely not something that would make me, and the others, not want to visit again. The owners were wonderful, helpful and accommodating. Definitely a very massive thank you to both of them!

    This was a weekend to make special memories for our family and this place provided it. Hosts were very accommodating I would recommend to everyone of any age.
