“We were delighted with our stay at Byrn Howell Stables.”
The cottage was warm, welcoming and very comfortable. The views amazing from all the windows upstairs and down. The garden space which looked out onto the view was great. The bonus for us was that when the owner came the next morning, not only to make sure we could work all the appliances etc., but he also welcomed my grandkids to use the field at the bottom of our garden to run around in. (We could keep our eye on them from inside the cottage.) He also told us that we could walk in their woods, play in their stream, and pick as many apples as we wanted from their orchard. (October 2022) We were a stone's throw from the canal and enjoyed many walks from the accommodation. A short drive away was 'Dinas Bran' (a view we could see from the cottage which the owner told us about) with its spectacular panoramic views. We had a delightful scramble from the roadside up to the ruins of the castle at the top. (About 20 mins, ages ranging from 5 to 66.) The lovely little town of Llangollen is about 3 miles away with its array of little gift shops and also an Aldi for the groceries. Midweek, we also had a fantastic day at Zipworld, Betws-y-Coed, an hour's drive away. (Expensive but well worth the joy it put on all our faces.) Everything that made for an excellent holiday for our mixed age group was found here.
I liked the idea of the maintenance book which allowed us to write a small issue that could then be sorted for the next occupants.
It's clearly stated by the owners in the paperwork how to get to the cottage, however, we found that a little bit challenging because we didn't remind ourselves of the info provided. (I saw it 6 months prior when I booked but forgot to revisit.) As a suggestion, I think it would be VERY helpful for the owners to remind folks of those details when ringing to find out about the key pick-up, as the satnav does NOT lead directly to the cottage.
I just hope my (genuine) praise for Bryn Howell Stables, wouldn't mean I'd have to book two years in advance to get a booking confirmed in the future or that it puts the price through the roof? :-) I'd have no hesitation in returning or recommending it to others. Thank you so much to all concerned, for such a brilliant holiday!!!
