  We've just got back from staying in "Sun Trevor Barn One" for 4 nights in December 2021, and had a great time.

  Paul is a great host - very knowledgeable about the local area, lots of recommendations and clearly takes pride in his properties as well as the local area - and rightly so! We stayed in Barn one which is the smallest of the 3 barns but the one with the all important hot tub outside! The barn/cottage was immaculate. Very clean, all new decor and fitted out to a very high standard. It's clear they have invested a lot of money and effort into making this a modern accommodation - it's fitted with everything from Amazon Alexas to a Smart TV to Nest thermostats with underfloor heating, there is everything you need. The outdoor hot tub is very nice. It's a full size tub with the usual controls - but with views over the local mountains that make it special! Paul checks the pH and water level on a daily basis and the water was crystal clear and foam-free throughout our stay. The pub next door is very friendly, and if you can grab a seat on the comfy sofa by the fire, you won't ever want to leave! The Pub Manager is a very friendly chap who clearly knows a lot about the pub trade, as well as being able to take a superb photograph! He gave us some great tips for exploring the local area - Top bloke and a real asset to the pub. The Sun Trevor restaurant is great with a nice selection of wholesome food at fair prices. We ate there for Sunday lunch, which was excellent. Other local places we ate during our trip were Fouzi's (good) and Three Eagles (exceptional) - both in Llangollen. Taxis were a bit tricky to book - The recommended taxi company "Castle Taxis" had switched their phones off and were not responding to messages - but we managed to get very good service from Z-Cars in Llangollen. Each time they turned up in the right place at the right time and were reasonably priced, so give them a try. Llangollen town centre is a 20 minute brisk walk away from Sun Trevor..... the Aqueduct is an hour or so walk (well worth seeing!)....... the quarry is well worth a visit (ask Paul for details of the hidden footpath!)..... and of course the castle is a must-see. The horseshoe pass is also worth a look as well as the Wier. So in summary this is a great accommodation in a lovely area to visit for a short break, with lots to see - and the Sun Trevor is a great place to eat, drink and sleep!

  On first appearance the cottage seemed generally clean but on further inspection we found lots of cobwebs and spiders in all rooms and some cupboards.

  Maintenance- Door to living room catches on the floor. No light working in corridor to downstairs bedroom. Bathroom in need of make over due to water damage. Threshold strip into the kitchen trip hazard due to collapsing. Saucepan handles were loose - fixed by us Cooker hood canopy light not working - fixed by us Temperature control on shower does not work- seems to be locked at a high temperature. No anti slip mat provided so we left ours. Broken glass in kitchen cupboard. Can opener inadequate. Automatic lighting system in kitchen and hallway we found to be an inconvenience and wastes electric. Storage space in the kitchen inadequate unless you want to store frozen food. It would have be nice prior to occupation if the outside frontage was swept and free of litter around the bus stop. Having mentioned all these there were lots of things we liked about the property but that’s what we expected. The location to the park and town are good but extra care needs to be taken when crossing the busy road straight outside the front door. We missed having private outdoor space. Parking is provided but take extreme care when pulling out. We would stay here again and hopefully all the above would have received attention.

  Really relaxing few days with our dog at Westoe Hideaway.

  . Made to feel very welcome by owners Steve and Sue who were on hand if needed and made us feel at home straight away. Exceptionally clean and well presented accommodation , very comfy bed, superb shower and facilities and we felt very relaxed on arrival with everything we needed right there. Enclosed area for us and the dog to relax morning snd night to enjoy the views of the surrounding area and all 3 of us slept very well in the property after a few busy days out and about in Wales and Llangollen. Thank you to our hosts Steve and Sue for making the property available for guests to enjoy and we had a great few days. Some great walks to enjoy with the dog in the countryside or along the canal bank with both a short stroll from the property. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend this property in Llangollen where there is something for everyone to enjoy.

  The kitchen was too small.

  The only cupboard space for dry food measured 7cm wide by 70 cm high. Totally inadequate. There was no work surface space. The floor space between kitchen wall and appliances was around 80cm again too small. It was impossible for more than one person to work in the kitchen at any one time. The living room was just about adequate for two adults but the cottage was advertised to sleep four. You clearly stated that there were two parking spaces per cottage. There were only five spaces and only one space was allocated to Catref. My sister-in-law was due to accompany us but was unable to come at the last minute. Just as well as we would have had a big problem. I should add that we have rented properties from you on a number of occasions and have always been satisfied but this cottage was not up to your usual standard,

  Just returned home from a week at Barn 1 and it's one of the best cottages we have ever stayed in.

  The owners, Paul and Katy, along with all the staff at the sun trevor pub, were really friendly, nothing was too much for them.The barn was spotless, with lots of basics provided on arrival, including treats for our dog. The hot tub was enjoyed by us all and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed some nice walks on the canal into local towns and a trip out to chirk, the cake cafe was a nice treat too! We also had a day out in Llanduddno experiencing the cable cars and tram up the great orme. The food in the pub next door was consistently excellent and we even had a go at the charity pub quiz on Wednesday night! All in all an excellent place and we will definitely be back. Thanks paul and katy.
