Woodland Cottage

We absolutely loved our stay at Woodland Cottage.

The cottage was comfortable and cosy and perfect for our week away. It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Glorious walks on the doorstep and a little further beyond. Thank you so much!

Absolutely charming cottage in a fantastic location.

Our hosts were very responsive. The cottage was warm and comfortable with plenty of seating. The garden was beautiful and dog proof. The bedding was nice but the mattresses could do with updating. The bathroom and kitchen and linen were clean but the cottage was dusty. I had to move the sofas to hoover as there were a number of dog biscuits under there our little dog was after.

Really enjoyed our stay.

We were tired when we arrived and were disappointed to find no welcome pack ,not so much as a tea bag .

It was a chilly evening so we were looking forward to the log fire as logs,firelighters were provided but no matches and the gas lighter didn't work. It's a long way to the nearest shop so no fire. On the plus side there are lots of good walks straight from the door. The beds are comfortable. The central heating is efficient. The small patio garden is secure for dogs and there is adequate of road parking fir one car

Wonderful little cottage that was perfect for myself, partner, daughter and dog.

Cozy warmed up nicely while it was cold outside and the walks and scenery nearby are lovely. The owners are very very nice and welcoming! Deffo recommend for those who want a peaceful time away from a more busier town or city life :)

Lovely cottage.

Plenty of hot water and very comfortable furnishings. Perfectly located, I had a lovely run on the Saturday morning. I just wish we could have stayed longer!

Lovely, cozy property Would recommend

This was our 2nd stay in this pretty cosy cottage.

Had some great local walks with wonderful scenery - the dogs loved it too, especially the woodland across the road. Friendly helpful owners.

Excellent location , owners very quick to respond, lovely place to stay .

A lovely cottage, great location, comfortable and homely.

Would stay again if we were in the area.

Wow, what a beautiful cottage, and what views!

We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage had everything we could need and the communication from the owners was excellent, checking everything was okay and keeping us informed with things without intruding on our stay. The cottage is in a great location with plenty to do in the area. The dogs enjoyed exploring the little woodland walk just across the road from the property. The off street parking and lovely enclosed garden was also great for the dogs. A few people have previously left reviews saying the stairs are steep, yes they are but they are manageable, don't let that put you off staying at this stunning little cottage. I'm already missing watching the sunrise over the amazing views!

Our much looked forward Christmas break at this cottage was disappointing to say the least.

First impressions were good, nice views and cosy log burner. However, there were two main and significant problems. The TV didn't work properly so we were unable to watch any of the planned tv programmes we had been looking forward to. The screen kept displaying an error message which said 'weak or no signal, check your aerial and connection'. After contacting the host, he replied that the WiFi speeds were OK, but that the aerial may have been affected by a previous storm, and there was nothing he could do. All channels had the same problem. The biggest problem for us is that it took hours to cook our Christmas dinner. Even to pre heat the oven was a trial in itself, and it took hours to produce our meal. The owner's response was that it only runs on a 13amp fuse and isn't connected to a main wire so isn't as hot or powerful as a normal oven. In fact you can only use one shelf at a time! Surely this should be made clear at the outset and in the description of the cottage prior to booking. I don't think this cottage is fit for purpose for a Christmas break. The cottage was originally part of the owners house, which they sectioned off to make a stand alone cottage for holiday lets. Also , I would agree with other comments from previous guest reviews and an entry in the guest book which mentions that their child took a nasty fall, that the stairs are extremely steep, and I feel that this should also be mentioned in the description, since this could be a big problem for some guests. There is also a mini fan heater in the cupboard of the main bedroom which lacks a safety cut out function. So whilst I appreciate the gesture of biscuits and a Christmas card on arrival, I would much prefer to have had a good Christmas meal and a tv that worked.

Very comfortable cottage with outstanding views across Deeside.

Ideal location for exploring the area.

It was a fabulous stay, the cottage is beautiful and very comfortable and has everything you could think of, as well as detailed information on how to use the heating and cooker.

I found the welcome pack very useful, with plenty of ideas and information for places to visit. My only concern would be that the garden was advertised as 'enclosed ' but for smaller dogs it would have been easy for my dog, a terrier, to get through the gate and so I had to keep her on the lead in the garden.

Great little cottage for me and my family.

Was lovely to come back to after a day of being out exploring the area

Excellent location.

Owner friendly and helpful. Lovely cottage. Only negative was ,unfortunately, the mattress on the bed in the main bedroom was not comfortable. The area is beautiful and would highly recommend.

Beautiful cottage with spectacular views, only downside for us as an older couple was the steep stairs.

But that would not put us off returning as that was the only downside to what is a superb cottage.

Great stay here a real gem.

Clean, comfortable cottage.

We had a lovely time.

Only small issue is maybe the mattress in the double bedroom needs replacing as we could feel the springs when laying on the bed

A very comfortable well equipped cottage.

Quiet location and efficient timely communication with host when required. We had two large dogs and there are many walks from the cottage and accessible woodland opposite which was ideal. The stairs leading to first floor are steep and narrow, in keeping with the cottage character, so may not be suitable for some people. We would definitely stay here again

Perfect idyllic location, cozy cottage, glorious vista from the windows.

We spent two weeks very much making ourselves at home exactly as the owners welcome chalk board notice requested. We were snug and warm despite being November in Wales (log burner efficient and mesmerising) This was our base for exploring North Wales and birthplace of our relative 100 years ago. Stunning countryside and mountains to explore as soon as you step left out the gate. Car is however essential. Cyndi and Samantha Rochester, New York, USA

Nice cottage in a lovely setting, with the bonus of a wood close by to walk dogs.

The only negatives were the fridge was a little small and the welcome pack was just a small cake. Could have done with a small bottle of milk on arrival just to settle down with a hot drink before having to go to the shops. Just minor points, but overall very happy with everything else.

Very cosy and welcoming environment, lovely decor full of hearts and love, panoramic views, woodland and wildlife on your doorstep.

Suitable for dogs as well. Our dogs loved it, especially the wood.

Just a short 2 night stay - everything was spot on.

Perfect area and we were very lucky with the weather. Brilliant for the children who enjoyed exploring a hidden play area in the woodland opposite, plus there is a small playground further down the hill. Didn't use many of the kitchen facilities as we ate out mostly. Helpful owners responded quickly with any questions. Off road parking on the gated drive next to the cottage.

Loved this cottage, the location is brilliant, and being as it was our 1st holiday with our dog Theo, we enjoyed every minute, If I had to make one minor point, the mattress was too soft, but other than that it was great

A warm and cozy cottage with great walks from the door.

Just need to update photos!

Lovely little cottage in a superb location.

Property was great for the two of us plus dog. The enclosed garden was just right and the views are spectacular. Lovely big smart tv for when the rains inevitably fall and the woods just across the road were perfect for morning and evening constitutionals. We will definitely be returning.

Kitchen floor not hoovered or mopped .

dog biscuits on the floor under the table , table cloth not clean , living room floor not hoovered or mopped either ? Whole property could do with a dust , the wooden beams all dusty , window ledges , light fixture in main bedroom and ceiling all need dusting . The property itself is beautiful and we had a great time playing spot the difference with the listing photos . Not sure when they were last updated The welcome book could be left on a table rather than hidden under all the magazines . The neighbours were lovely and friendly but all together it felt like a very rushed clean. Other than that It's a very cosy ,comfortable place to stay in a nice area .

Had a wonderful stay, such a lovely cosy cottage in a delightful location.

Great walks from the door including a woodland walk opposite and fantastic scenery especially up on the Panorama walk up the road. Owners very responsive and helpful when we had a query about the log burner. Had some great canal walks too - our dogs Flo & Martha still dreaming about their holiday.

A comfortable and lovely cottage ,stayed here for a week and had a great time ,owners very helpful especially clearing the ,snow when leaving,only a couple of minor comments, even though a welcome pack was left ie fruit loaf ,tea and coffees but no milk left for us as the nearest shop was a drive away and could have done with a drink upon arrival also no shower ,just a bath with a shower head attached ,They were only remarks I can say ,but great place,lovely dog walks etc, will definitely return ( but with some milk,ha,ha)

We love this cottage and the location.

We've stayed here twice now and would stay again. It's ideal for our needs and our dog Pip has loved it as well. The woodlands are great for her daily walks as well as the Panorama Way and surrounding areas. It's so peaceful and relaxing. Until next time (unless we move near here in the meantime!)

A lovely comfortable, clean and warm cottage, in a great location for exploring the area.

Our second visit and I’m sure we’ll be back!

Lovely property and location.

Good communication with owner. Lovely beds and comfy sofas. Very cold when entered property, heating was only on 17.5 and dehumidifier in operation. Luckily we had everything for log burner. Some small issues, including cobwebs at side of cupboards and lights not working. Also we had to bring all our own wood for log burner from home - I found this odd when owners own woodland adjacent. Stated supplier had let them down in past. It would be helpful if logs could be made available.

Cosy, clean, well maintained cottage set in a great location with stunning panoramic views of the valley beyond.

Off road parking and enclosed patio garden and every need catered for within the accommodation. There is a lovely woodland opposite the cottage across the lane, which was ideal for walks with our pooches! Visited for the first time the stunning Pontcysyllte Aqueduct near Llangollen where we walked across on the footpath high above the valley with breathtaking panoramic views below. Another first time visit for us was Plas Newydd historic house and gardens and enjoyed a nice coffee in the cafe courtyard where dogs are allowed. Another first time visit for us was Horseshoe Falls with local countryside surroundings to explore. Beautiful Llangollen itself is a must to visit which of course we did and the obligatory stroll along the path overlooking the river and great to see the famous steam train in action once again. We had a lovely restful few days here and highly recommend this cottage set in a beautiful location.

Lovely cottage with lovely views for miles, had everything l needed excepted a shaver socket, but that was easy sorted with buying a 3 pin plug.

l would recommend this cottage and would happily book it again if l went back to that part of the country again.

Woodland Cottage was a fantastic place to stay.

It was absolutely spotless and really comfortable. It is in a very quiet location and ideally placed for exploring the surrounding area either by car or by simply stepping outside the front door and going for a walk. Very dog friendly place as the garden is totally secure. We would love to visit again.

A very nicely presented and well appointed cottage, albeit the staircase was very steep which did prove a little awkward.

Would recommend.

There was no mention of how steep the stairs are.

The cottage wasn't very clean. Also only hand held shower. Very disappointed and feel the listing was inaccurate which if corrected we wouldn't have booked.

What a delightfully quaint cottage.

Loved the decor. Very clean and everything we needed there.Great location with lovely views. Great to be able to walk in the woodland close by.Enjoyed local walks and even further afield from the cottage. Surrounding areas very scenic.Would go back again.

Loved our short break the woods across the road was idea for our four legged family, Gus loved it there.

lots to do right on your doorstep the hill was good exercise. Woodland cottage was a lovely place for a break can’t wait to return

Two couples and two happy pooches.

We had a brilliant time! Absolutely lovely spot with lovely views! We went on two big walks which started right outside the cottage. The dogs absolutely loved it and we would definitely come again!!

Arrived at the cottage and we were delighted with the location and views.

The cottage was spotless, the decor and furnishings a very high standard and tasteful. My border collie was loving the beautiful woods a few yards away and the garden was very secure for him. Hand on heart I couldn’t fault the cottage and will definitely be returning. Phil W

This cottage is of a very high standard.

It is very comfortable and clean. It is ideally located for the fantastic tourist attractions in the area.

The property was beautiful, very cosy.

A larger fridge/freezer would be beneficial and the stairs were quite steep for those people who have mobility issues.The location was perfect for us, as we love to walk and explore.We would definitely come back again.

Absolutely loved our stay at Woodland Cottage.

Beautiful area and very comfortable. We were welcomed by Mike and made to feel at home instantly. Cannot wait to go back :)

Great cottage with stunning views.

Plenty of local walks and places to visit. Will definitely be back.

We had lovely getaway experience celebrating New Year in this lovely cottage.

Cottage itself very cosy, full off carefully added little touches, very good for experiencing British traditional life style. We had nice dog walks in forest near by and its very nicely situated to reach out to other interesting towns and viewpoints around. Just one point was not good for us - its absence of proper shower cabin, we are not bath people,co it did create some difficulties to us but we loved the cottage in any case.

A beautiful, cosy cottage in lovely surroundings with all the amenities you could wish for.

Our second stay in this lovely cottage.

Clean, comfortable and well placed for walks and travel in the area. We would be very happy to stay here again.

A delightful property with everything you need to have a lovely stay.

Nice walks in the area and some lovely views of the area including the aqueduct.

Lovely little cottage great views walks from front door .

the cottage was really well equipped would definitely recommend a stay here

We had a wonderful time, really enjoyed the cottage and surrounding area.

Well situated for many beautiful tours of North Wales.

Had a fabulous holiday in Woodlands Cottage.

It had everything we needed, but could do with some instructions on how to operate the cooker and also some microwavable bowls or similar. Situated in a ideal location for walking straight from the door.

Cottage in quiet location,lovely walks from the doorstep.

Secure garden for our dog.Comfortable seating downstairs.Good heating and hot water system

Lovely cosy cottage in a lovely location , very close Llangollen and other interesting places to visit .

... Erddig near Wrecsam is amazing.

Cottage is amazing.

Stunning views. Woods opposite to take the dog a walk. Few minutes from the aqueduct. And atound 10 mins the Llangollen itself. Would highly recommend Pubs around there are ok food wasn’t the best but ok

This is a lovely "home from home" with all the finer points that take it from accommodation to home.

If you're into hearts then you will love the place - they are everywhere! The location is quiet, elevated but close to main roads.

Peaceful location with great views.

Cottage very comfortable with everything we needed. Friendly and helpful owner.

The cottage is beautifully set out and absolutely stunning in a fantastic location with plenty of great walks, Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Lovely cottage.

Beautifully decorated and well equipped. Stunning woodland walk across from the property. Very comfortable beds - I slept so well!

The cottage was perfect, clean, cozy and decorated to a high standard.

Fabulous views from the patio garden with woodland walk straight from the door. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Absolutely fabulous stay.

Truly enjoyed. Cottage was adorable and location was A* will definitely be heading back for longer in the coming months. Highly recommend.

Lovely cottage in a lovely location.

Very quiet with a great woodland to explore just across the road. Owners were accessible if needed but weren't. Well equipped small cottage with good WiFi. Perfectly positioned for exploring the surrounding area which is full of great things to see and do. Would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic dog friendly cottage with amazing views and everything you could need for a great holiday.

location of the property is perfect for exploring the area and the view is something else.

Property is ideal for a group of 4 and the outside area offers chance to enjoy good weather.

The cottage was well appointed and very cosy, the hosts left us several welcome gifts which was a nice touch.

The use of the woods opposite was a nice surprise.

Brilliant cottage with great hosts.

Sweet little touches all over the place. Recommend to anyone...or actually I shouldn't so I would keep it a sweet and warm secret for my future trips.

Lovely cottage lovely area but you need a car quite high up to walk down esp going to the local the fridge is a bit on the small size but overall had a peaceful holiday

A beautiful cottage in perfect, stunning surroundings.

...we didn’t want to leave. The cottage had such a warm, ‘homely’ feel and we certainly made ourselves at home! Decorated beautifully, so peaceful, so quiet and we simply relaxed and soaked up the picturesque atmosphere. It was well equipped, (especially seeing as we had a 2 year old!) and the beds were unbelievable! All three of us slept amazingly for the 3 nights! Only 40 minute drive to Chester Zoo which was a fab day out! Definitely be coming back and will definitely be recommending x

Lovely cottage, clean, warm and very cosy.

Views and walks were great and the owners Mike and Lilly were generous hosts providing lots of provisions and accessories. Very dog friendly with a great walk in the woods opposite the cottage.

Beautiful cottage everything we needed.

Warm and friendly welcome from Mike. Will definitely recommend. A real dog friendly cottage - we have 2 and they certainly enjoyed the treats.

Fantastic cottage and location, clean and lots of lovely homely touches.

Owner made us feel very welcome. The only slight negative was lack of shower in the bathroom. We were aware of this when we booked and personally prefer showering to baths. But the cottage ticked all the other boxes so we were happy to book. And would revisit.

Absolutely delightful cottage with exceptional views over countryside and aquaduct.

Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Mike & Lily made you welcome and any problem was quickly resolved. Welcome pack and fresh eggs a wonderful treat.

The cottage was lovely and we had a very good time.

It was convenient for walking, and shops etc were just a short drive away. The only niggle was the dining table being a bit too wide for the space. A rectangular one might have fitted better. Entries on booking.com said there was no parking, but we were able to park 2 small cars there which was better than expected.

We had a wonderful week at Woodland Cottage!

It is a beautiful, characterful cottage that was extremely clean when we arrived. The owners are friendly and helpful and the fresh eggs and cake were a lovely touch. The cottage has everything you could possibly need for the week and a highchair, travel cot and stair gate were all set up for our arrival. It was the perfect size for our family of four and is a really family friendly cottage for those with small children. The travel cot doesn't have an extra mattress, only the one provided with the cot, so you will need to bring one if you want that extra comfort. We needed another mattress anyway so we just bought one which was no trouble at all, just something to be aware of. The fridge/freezer is also quite small so keep this in mind when doing your shopping. We still managed to get everything in that we had ordered for the week though! So easy to get a Tesco delivery for the day we arrived. The cottage is set in a great location for exploring the local attractions. We enjoyed visiting Llangollen, the Aqueduct, Blue Planet Aquarium, Horseshoe Falls and Chester Zoo. The view from the cottage is spectacular and we loved sitting in the lovely garden as well. There are woods just opposite the cottage for great dog walks. This is a fantastic cottage and we can't wait to stay again in the future!

The items left for us in the kitchen, including freshly laid eggs, was such a lovely gesture to make us feel very much at home.

A lovely cottage, well positioned to enjoy and explore the Snowdonia area, canal walks and the coast.

The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed, including heating we were able to control ourselves (something we have found you don't always get in holiday cottages) We went with our two dogs and there is a wood opposite the cottage which was really convenient for quick early morning and late night walks. Goodies left for us and the dogs were appreciated, we would definitely recommend and go back ourselves, one of the better Sykes cottages we have been to.

Excellent property, with fantastic hosts.

Bedding and towels change very regularly. Impeccable standard in the property.

Lovely well equipped cottage.

Everything we needed and more. Brilliant location. The welcome pack was greatly appreciated. Very helpful hosts. Would highly recommend. The Hughes family.
