What our customers say about their holidays

  Late December For us, it was far too cold the first day to sleep upstairs so we hard to use the sofas and keep the log wood fire going for as along as we can.

  The following day, the owners organised an electrical radiator for us. Problem solved we thought. As it transpired, the main bedroom bed is far to short to sleep on for my 6ft husband, so he still ended up using the downstairs sofa or one of the twin beds which were larger. Either way, for a get away together this wasn’t ideal. We also did not realise from the pictures of description, that the view with gravel in front was a driveway for the cottage owners next door. So, we didn’t feel secluded as we hoped we would with some of the goings on for next door as well as just them entering and leaving their property. Maybe it would have been fine we’re not for the large floor to ceiling windows and doors. So, instead of enjoying the view we often had the curtains closed. The shower over the bath is somewhat tricky in such a small space, you almost have to stand on the curve side of the bath to directly under it. The internet kept going off, which wasn’t great when no dvd players with films had been provided. We’ve stayed in many beautiful places, and Won’t be returning. As nice as the owners are, we would have liked to have seen them much less (or to be politely reminded the night before to leave on time as turnover for them is the same day). Given the house didn’t get warm enough until day 2, quite frankly the owners should have the foresight to refund us for that first night, never mind a partial repayment for the rest of the holiday given that me and my partner could not share a room together that we wanted. Not much of a secluded getaway.

  If I could give this 6 stars or 11/10 I would, excellent value for money, its one fantastic place to stay, very clean and comfortable and has all mod cons, great location if you like to view the Jets passing by , which they do via the Mach Loop :-).

  All facility's are there inc BBQ and Hot Tub if you want to indulge. Milk, tea, coffee and sugar along with some treats left for you to enjoy on your arrival. Mari is lovely, friendly and very willing to help in any way. I cant really give any negative views as for me there is not any, however if your a hardcore TV fan and like your soaps etc it may be a problem for you as there is no live Sky or Freeview, only 4 streaming channels like BBC i player, ITV X etc but if you can live without this for your stay then you wont be disappointed, for us it did not matter as we go any not to watch TV but to escape ! There are some big trees that block some of the views of the valley at present ( July 2024 ) but these are in process of being removed to give a full panoramic view. 100% we will be going back again, maybe again this year but if not defiantly next year. I congratulate Mari on a very well presented Cottage, top marks :-) Thank you for a great stay.

  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.

  Ysgubor Craig Y Gronfa is a real gem in the Welsh mountains, perched on the side of a mountain with views to die for, one of the best kept and equipped cottages we have stayed in.

  The hosts were very welcoming and friendly and helped with suggestions for the area if we asked for them. The location was perfect for us, a family of 4 (one teenager and one almost!), we were able to explore so many beautiful places whilst coming back to a beautiful place. Barmouth beach is 30 mins drive away (beach meets mountains), lakes Bala and Vyrnwy are 40 mins drive (Windsurfing and Canoing), Aberdyfi 40 mins drive, (for a spot of Paddle boarding). The Red Lion pub in Dinas Mawddwy (5 mins drive) is a great locals pub and perfect for practicing your Welsh! Or over the pass towards Dollgellau for the Cross Foxes pub (10 mins drive) and dinner on the decking. When we go back for another holiday in Wales we are staying here, we liked it..... a lot.

  Acorn Cottage is situated in a beautiful village Petton.

  The surroundings are so tranquil for a restful and quiet break. The cottage is well equipped with all the mod cons and is squeaky clean. The kitchen has all the amenities along with a dishwasher and washing machine which made our stay very comfortable. The bedrooms are spacious and so are the bathrooms. Acorn Cottage has everything we could ask for. Barbara and Robert gave us a very warm welcome to Acorn Cottage. They are extremely friendly and provided us with lots of information about sightseeing as well as gourmet pubs to get good food. The church in Petton is gorgeous and definitely worth a visit. The chicken and ducks that Robert keeps are an absolute delight. To sum up Acorn cottage is a wonderful cottage and the hosts are amazing.
