The Wren Reviews

Fantastic little cottage with stunning views. Great hot tub. Unfortunately our stay was not as good as hoped. As hot tub had multiple issues. From brown scum coming through jets to last 2 days not being able to use as had a leak. Also camping guests pulling up when in or wrong place when in hot tub so privacy could be better. Suggest making the fence more private. This cottage is a few tweaks away from being perfect

Nabila

It was amazing felt comfortable the hosts were friendly and helpful. definitely will be visiting again.

Christopher

This place is absolutely incredible! !!

Cottage was in a lovely location, surroundings were lovely Cleanliness ... Cottage was in a lovely location, surroundings were lovely Cleanliness wasnt great Cobwebs Chipped bowls and plates No tea towel so had to use another towel Bedding was frayed on the pillowcases Hot tub was lovely but could of done with some additional items being repaired Clips on the filter top broke so wouldnt stay on Hairs and flies inside the hot tub With some attention to detail this would be massively improved

Adrienne

A perfect place to explore the area. Beautiful views from the baloney and the hot tub.. the property is well set out.

A wonderfully comfortable accommodation with everything needed for a lovely week away. The kitchen has everything you could need, the shower is powerful and the roll top bath is just amazing, looking out at the views while bathing. The bed is extremely comfortable and very welcome for chilling out on after a session in the brilliant hot tub, again ,amazing views to be seen from here. Perfectly situated for visiting places like Conwy, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno. I would definitely recommend a stay at this lovely place.

A great find, wonderful views, comfy bed, excellent shower, spacious, everything we could need. The warmest welcome from the owners who were so helpful. Hot tub is top of the range and perfect for relaxing. Highly recommended!

Once again I thank you for a fantastic stay. The property is beautiful as is the surrounding area. The host was so helpful with a surprise treat I wanted for my wife as the trip was for our first anniversary.

Lorraine

A beautiful cottage set in stunning surroundings with everything you need for a comfortable stay . Hot tub is amazing on an evening and very relaxing after a long walk . Hosts were very helpful and answered any questions we had about the surrounding area . Would definitely recommend , beautiful countryside and coastline from Colwyn Bay to Llandudno and the views from the Great Orm are stunning. It was lovely to sit and watch the animals whilst having your morning coffee and whilst in the hot tub. Only negative is that it would have been good to have a few cleaning products in the kitchen and bathroom apart from that a fabulous stay ! Highly recommend.

Vivien

Lovely cottage , great views, comfy bed, peace and quiet, hot tub available but did not use it. Not too far to Conwy and Llandudno. Please sharpen the knives

We spent a lovely week in this great accommodation and its beautiful surroundings. The accommodation was great but I will say we needed more coat hangers as a couple in the wardrobe were broken. We also didnt find the sofa that comfy. Hosts were very friendly and helpful and we would absolutely stay there again its a great base to see the sights north Wales has to offer.

We had a wonderful time staying at The Wren in North Wales. The studio appartment was clean with full working kitchendishwasher. The bed was very comfortable. The views from the balcony were spectacular, and the hot tub was a bonus. 2m from Aldi. Welsh Mountain Zoo was fantastic only 5m from The Wren.

A great place to stay, the location is ideal for exploring North Wales. Steve and Sue were excellent hosts sharing information on places to eat and visit. A very comfortable accommodation with everything close at hand. The hot tub is a great end of day treat.

Richard

I had an amazing stay at The Wren. The property was great and the location so peaceful. A perfect place for exploring North Wales. The shortbread on arrival was very tasty! To wake up each day surrounded by nature, overlooking the fields with horses and chickens was very relaxing. The hot tub was huge! That and the free standing bath were the perfect way to end the day . I visited lots of beautiful places. Highlights were Ynys Llanddwyn, Aber Falls, Puffin Island via a boat trip the steam train from Blaneau Ffestiniog to Porthmado, BetwsyCoed and Conwy. Ynys Llandwyn was incredible and is a must see! I can highly recommend Dionyssos Greek restaurant in Rhos on Sea and Bryn Williams Porth Eirias for food. Both are around 1015 mins away by car. Further afield I ate at Sage Kitchen in Menai Bridge which was amazing too. Loved every moment from start to finish. Wish I couldve stayed longer.

Loverly cottage and location. Owners Sue and Steve were available if needed and very friendly. Great to see the horses and cows from the balcony. Very handy for visiting north Wales. Just one point it would be nice if the hot tub was made a little more private. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Catherine and Nigel

The pictures do not do The Wren justice! The cottage is amazing, views are spectacular, the hot tub is an added luxury, such a stunning place. The hosts are wonderful, happy to offer advice if you are looking for places to visit, nothing is too much trouble for them. Really looking forward to booking our next visit.

Dominic

Spent an amazing week here! The cottage had everything you needed and stargazing in the hot tub was a highlight of our trip! The hosts were so lovely, would definitely stay here again!

Stacey

The host ms welcomed us on arrival and made sure to show us all the amenities. The annex was clean, modern and a cozy retreat after some busy days exploring. Surroundings are beautiful and we were informed of local walks in the surrounding fields and hills where you can find even more stunning views. Whilst the farm has live stock, its incredibly quiet and peaceful, but supermarkets and beaches are just a short drive away. Well definitely be returning again!

Robert

Lovely property, superb location, loads to do for everyone not too far away. Super comfy bed. Nice places to eat out nearby Queens Head recommended. Heating is weird, you do have control of the electric fire, but radiators are controlled from the house, either on or off no temperature control. Hot tub is really exposed to the elements. Disappointed that it was not hot enough to use when it's cold outside.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay. The hosts Sue and Steve were amazing always on hand if needed and always with a smile and happy to help. The cottage was perfect. Views were stunning. And after a lovely day out walking and sightseeing the hot tub was great especially in the night when you can see all the stars. A perfect break thank you!

Sharon

The Wren is situated in a beautiful location with stunning views. The hot tub is very impressive. Lying in the autumn sun looking over the hills was so relaxing. Lovely walks and seaside close by to explore. Only down side for us was lack of cleaning materials. No basic materials, just a dustpan and brush, which we thought was odd!! Also we had no access to heating so couldn't manage this ourselves. We got cold at times!!

Fantastic hostes our accommodation was spotless very tastefully decorated everything you needed for a self catering holiday. Bed was soooo comfortable. Hot tub was amazing so powerful didn't get full use as was poorly during my stay. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic place and surrounding. Lovely host who were very welcoming and helpful with their information of the local area.

We came here last year and the stay was amazing, the cottage is so homely with ... We came here last year and the stay was amazing, the cottage is so homely with every thing you need also a big thanks to the owners Stuart and his wife

Philip

Excellent property in a perfect setting. Very well equipped with everything needed for a relaxing few days. Peaceful, wildlife,nature, walks literally from the doorstep. This place has everything and more with the hot tub set in amongst the landscape and even a roll top bath with a view in the bedroom. Plenty to see and do or not do. We loved our stay here. Steve and Sue the owners were wonderful hosts on hand when needed with loads of local knowledge or just a friendly chat. Positives loads. Negatives none.

Natalie

Absolutely beautiful property. Owners were lovely helpful and very friendly. Views from the property were just gorgeous. Highly recommend and we will be back again. Thank you for a lovely stay xx

Kelsey

Myself and my partner recently stayed at The Wren for 5 days, 5 days just wasn't enough! It's a home from home, although we preferred it at The Wren and did not want to leave. the property itself is outstanding, beautifully presented, clean, cosy and very well equipped, a lot bigger then the photos show, it really does contain EVERYTHING you could ever need, the owners have put a lot of love and thought into this property and it really does show. The surrounding area the property is situated on is beautiful, a lot wildlife, grassy meadow area's, shortlong walks, amazing scenery and not another personcar in site, but a 10 minute drive down the hill behind the property you arrive at the beach! The owners are lovely, they recommend afew things for us to see and do, it was like they knew us with how perfect every recommendation turned out to be! They are so welcoming, friendly, chatty and their hosting is exceptional, you won't see them all to often as they are busy working around the farm but they are always just a phone call away if you should need them. All in all it's defiantly a place I would recommend, we can't wait to return to The Wren.

Great property very clean and the location was amazing. Owners very nice. Just a couple of things. Extra towels needed I asked and got 2 extra hand towels and 1 bath towel. Usually with a hot tub separate towels are provided but we didnt have these here. Not a lot of cutlery. Also mattress on bed not great. Im being picky but get these right and it would be perfect. Again lovely location and hot tub fab.

Super cosy, well facilitated, and clean. A very relaxing atmosphere.

Amazing break away. Just what we needed. Ideal location to visit the local area, as well as venturing a little further a field. Thank you to our amazing hosts. Hope to return soon.

Michelle

Me and my partner stayed here over Christmas and I'm so glad we did it was perfect. The Wren is better than the pictures it's like a cosy little home with absolutely everything you need, hosts are very friendly and welcoming, showed us around everything and recommended walks for us to take. The elegant Christmas decorations were a perfect added touch for our arrival. Such a beautiful place, in stunning surroundings, don't think anyone could be disappointed staying here. Thankyou for making our Christmas perfect. We will definitely return.

Hollie

Most perfect 4 night get away, so cosey in the cold winter, hosts were lovely and made us feel very safe and welcomed. The host are nearby if you need anything but still is a very secluded private area just for yourself. Perfect if u want to shut off into ur own bubble. Will definitely be back in the summer and climb some of the local mountains, beautiful cottage beautiful location. The hot tub was amazing even in the cold, panoramic open views across the valley. The bath was amazing, big enough for 2 people. Dressing gowns were a nice touch. The home made short bread was the best Ive ever tasted, such a nice unexpected treat! Left feeling so relaxed !!! Cottage was so clean upon arrival, for someone who inspects every detail this is a 5 from me Ps please get a new guest book, we wanted to leave a lovely note but we couldnt because it was so full! Such a nice personal touch. Thank you so much. Couldnt fault it at all! We had an amazing time. Was very sad to leave Hollie x

This property is outstanding in every respect. Sue and Steve were perfect hosts.

The property was well laid out, had what we needed to cook and the dressing gowns were a very nice touch. Nice and quite and relaxing

If youre looking for a peaceful getaway then I would definitely recommend! Me and my partner had an amazing time, the hosts were friendly and made us feel very welcome. As we did not drive, Sue helped us navigate the local area and gave us some great recommendations, even helped us get to our destination one day! Would highly recommend and would definitely go back

Andrew

Everything was fantastic. The cottage is lovely, the hot tub was great and the surroundings were beautiful. Owners were very friendly and we would definitely like to return.

Robbie

Stayed here for 6 nights for my girlfriends 22nd birthday, as soon as we arrived we was extremely happy with the cottage as it is identical to the pictures, extremely clean and owned by lovey helpful hosts. It has a very large hot tub, bath and shower, cute cows at the property next door, and a lovely electric fireplace aswell as great places to visit nearby, i would definitely recommend visiting the Welsh Mountain Zoo which is only a 15 minute drive away. The farm that the cottage is on also has lovely areas to walk round and the cottage isn't too far from the beach. Thanks for such a lovely stay, already considering coming back and we only just left today!

We had a lovely stay at The Wren. Peace and quiet were what we were looking for and we got it. The place is well equipped with everything you might need on your stay. The owners were there if and when you needed them. We will definitely be looking to stay again.
