Guests say

Guests consistently praise 'The Barn' for its stunning views, cosy and well-equipped accommodation, and the warm welcome from the host, Sylvia. The presence of Sylvia's cat, Penny, adds a charming touch. The property's cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches, such as welcome gifts, contribute to a highly recommended and memorable stay.

Reviews frequently mention that 'The Barn' is clean and well-maintained, with only a single mention of cobwebs and spiders, suggesting an overall high standard of cleanliness.

The property boasts beautiful, quiet surroundings with panoramic views, and while it is described as a great base for exploring North Wales, the rural setting means that Wi-Fi can be intermittent.

Guests find 'The Barn' to be comfortable, with cosy furnishings, comfortable beds, and a relaxing atmosphere, contributing to an enjoyable stay.

The property is well-equipped and offers many amenities, though there is a note about the spiral staircase being a challenge for those with mobility issues, and the Wi-Fi being unreliable in the evenings.

The host's thoughtfulness is highlighted by the provision of welcome gifts and personal touches. While these are highly appreciated by guests, it is politely noted that such extras, while delightful, are not guaranteed.

  • Michelle

    We throughly enjoyed our week and would stay again.

  • Zoe

    We explored lots of lovely places on our stay and enjoyed coming back to the Cottage every evening. The cottage had everything we needed and the treats were appreciated. We would love to return again.

  • Karen

    It is peaceful and quiet and makes a great base to explore from; knowing on your return there are comfortable chairs and comfortable beds to relax. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could possibly need or want and on arrival we were greeted with a very generous welcome pack. There were also, lots of little thoughtful, personal touches, like fresh flowers in the lounge and a personal welcome note. Thank you again Sylvia for a really lovely holiday.
