What guests are saying
Lovely host, great garden but not secure for a Jack Russell.
. huge accommodation
Thank you for the feedback. I am sorry that you did not feel that the garden was secure for your Jack Russell. The listing does highlight that the West Wing private front garden does not have a fence in the hedge but owners are welcome to let their dogs loose in the back garden which was secured for our Jack Russell. I apologise if there was an issue with cleanliness - I normally do the changeover but was away on this occasion. You have my email address and I would welcome your comments on how to improve the accuracy of the listing and comfort and any other suggestions to enhance future guests’ stay.
Had a fantastic stay with weather to match.
.Jane was lovely and around if needed. Our dog loved the garden too! Would recommend 100% for a getaway in a beautiful part of Wales. Thank you for a great holiday!
Thank you.
Beautiful property in great location close to attractions.
The house feels like a home from home and is very relaxing. Everthing you might need is provided- the owners have thought of everything!
Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again. Please let us know what you found inaccurate in the description so that this can be amended.
What a beautiful place!
The West Wing is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a great holiday. Very clean and well maintained. From the smart Tv and Baby grand piano in the lounge to the well equipped kitchen. The Gardens are huge and well kept. Jane has compiled the most comprehensive information pack that I have ever seen.
Thank you so much. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again one day.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The West Wing.
The property was homely, well equipped, spotlessly clean and has beautiful gardens. Jane and Jim made us very welcome in their home from home in this lovely part of the world.
Thank you very much. We are pleased that you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you again one day.
Wow what an amazing place.
Everything you could ever need whilst on holiday. Stunning gardens and outside seating areas. Jane was an amazing host and the little treats that were left were very much appreciated
Thank you for your kind words. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again.
Outstanding, the best we've ever had in every respect.
Thank you. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again if you ever return to this area.
Highly, highly recommend the West Wing, we have just come back this week from a lovely comfortable stay with our 2 boys 10 and 12 and our little dog.
We absolutely loved the house and gardens, it had everything we needed and more, and the hosts are just so lovely helpful, even going the extra mile and quickly posting my sons Nintendo switch block back to us which he had forgotten and it arrived back here the day after we returned. The location is also brilliant for getting out on nice walks as well as exploring north Wales
Thank you, Aimee. So pleased that you enjoyed your stay.
A beautiful area to stay in, at a lovely property with a helpful host.
The scenery is wonderful; the accommodation has everything you need to settle in for your stay. In addition, there is a beautiful baby grand piano that not only looks good but plays beautifully too. Plenty of space inside the accommodation. Walks for the dog were really good, and the local pub had brilliant food, drink and is dog friendly. A lovely place to base yourself in whilst taking in all North Wales has to offer.
Thank you for your kind words. So glad that you enjoyed your stay.
An absolutely gorgeous stay in the most fantastic house.
It's a holiday in itself just staying at the west wing- no need to go anywhere but it is super convenient for loads of lovely days out. Super pub just up the road and lovely walks. The whole stay was perfect and Jane is such a lovely host- including her homemade Jam !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
An absolute gem of a holiday let, so unusual but yet homely, comfortable & relaxing .
The hosts (jane & Jim ) on hand but never intrusive it just gives you that bit of security ( & you’re never without kindling for the fire thank to Jim ) within walking distance of a lovely pub/restaurant & plenty of walks from the doorstep . & watch out for all the birds coming to the many feeders (especially mrs woodpecker ) would recommend the west wing to anybody ( but it’s so special I might just keep it to myself) Thank you Jane & Jim you’re a really special hosts just like your cottage Jez & Cathie
I could just stay in The West Wing for a week and never emerge!
Of course I do, the coast is near for long walks along a promenade, a theatre outing with a meal in its restaurant was a treat, and walks from the front door take you within a minute through farmland and countryside. Offa’s Dyke walks are nearby. easily sourced online. The West Wing is perfect if you need “to get away from it all” or be in an ideal spot for visiting the variety of places to go and things to do.
Thank you so much, Jana. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again.
We were delighted with the accommodation at The West Wing We were met by the lovely owner and made to feel very welcome The home is definitely a home and way above any holiday rental we have stayed in before We loved to return on an evening each day to enjoy the comfort, garden and log fire
Thank you for your review and for booking another visit. We look forward to seeing you again.
Welcoming, friendly, relaxing and a very comfortable stay.
Enjoyed going out to the gorgeous beaches, castles and woodlands. The weather was great and dogs loved running around the front garden. Was like home from home only better.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We hope to see you again.
We loved the stay at the cottage.
The house ist really beautiful, a lot of old books and a piano . You can sit in the garden or in a winter garden.
The West Wing is a beautiful property very comfortable, homely with lots of lovely decor and extremely well equipped with a large amount of outside space and wonderful views to the adjacent farmland and hills.
It's actually our favourite place we've stayed at with Sykes and would really love to return. For us it really ticked all the boxes, so many holiday properties are bland and uninteresting the West Wing is certainly not one of those!! The beautiful furniture fixtures and fittings are really outstanding and the practical equipment etc is excellent, I loved the well equipped kitchen everything was spotlessly clean and well presented along with everywhere else in the property. The living room was a delight I just wish I knew how to play that lovely piano.Thank you Jane and Jim the West Wing is a credit to you and thanks for the opportunity to stay in such a wonderful place.
Thank you for those kind words, Jane. I’m sorry that I missed you before you left but am delighted that you enjoyed your visit. We hope to see you again.
We stayed at the West Wing to avoid the madness of our local fireworks which terrifies our dogs.
We enjoyed the home-from-home comfort and the space on offer, particularly in the sitting room where there was plenty of room for the dog beds. The kitchen was well equipped and spotlessly clean and we're now converts to halogen hobs! Jane and Jim were friendly and on hand should anything be needed but we're not at all intrusive. It's a lovely and unique place to stay.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We note the scores for comfort and facilities and would welcome suggestions on how to improve these.
Jane and Jim made us very welcome without being intrusive.
Some garden produce was left for us which was a thoughtful touch. The property itself is home from home, very comfortable and a pleasure to relax in.
A very conveniently placed cottage for exploring this picturesque and historic area of Wales.
It was very warm and comfortable and had everything you would need for a pleasant stay. The garden was private and spacious and my two dogs loved it. Our hostess greeted us when we arrived and we were extremely grateful for her help with a non standard request made prior to our visit. I have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
Thank you. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay.
The cottage was lovely, clean and warm with a nice atmosphere.
The owners, who live in the attached house, were very friendly and helpful giving us tips on dog friendly walks and offering us produce from their garden. We had a lovely week and are looking forward to going back again.
Thank you. We look forward to seeing you again next month.
The most comfortable holiday cottage we have ever stayed in
Can't think why the West wing doesn't have a higher rating.
It's a delightful property run by a delightful couple. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you very much. With regard to the score on 'Accuracy of the listing', please could you expand on what was inaccurate so that we can amend it? We hope that your will return in the future. Kind regards Jane and Jim
Another lovely stay at this beautiful cottage.
Denbighshire is a super area which is off the usual tourist trail. And I can’t think of anywhere we’d rather stay. Thank you Jane and Jim our welcoming hosts.
Lovely stay at The West Wing.
Accommodation is large, very clean and really comfortable. Really nice location, easy to get to other places. Would definitely return.
Thank you. We hope to see you again.
A lovely property, comfortable, clean, and tastefully furnished.
It felt very homely and in a lovely setting. A perfect place in which to explore the surrounding attractions and countryside.
Thank you. We hope to see you again.
Stunning accommodation, like being in a stately home, will definitely be staying again
Thank you very much. We hope to see you again.
Simply First Rate.
Well-appointed, comfortable, spacious and cosy all at the same time. Recommended.
Can't fault a single thing, we were made to feel welcome straight away, west wing was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay.
It was in a terrific location for us with Llandudno and Chester a short drive away, I would also recommend the Dinorben Arms which was a 10 minute walk across the fields. As I say can't fault it at all. 5 stars !
Thank you for the kind review and also for the lovely roses. Sorry that I missed seeing you before you left. We are glad that you enjoyed your visit. Hope your journey home was not too bad with all the rain!
Another fab holiday in this beautiful and homely wing of the main house.
Thank you.
This place is a rare gem in the countryside.
From the hosts to the facilities, what more do you need for a break away from everything. Yes, you are near a ‘main’ road but using all the facilities in the properties means you won’t hear this. We spent just short of a week in the property and enjoyed all it had to offer. The hosts were very amenable and nothing was too much trouble. The only thing I would say is that the two single beds are not the most comfortable so leave these for the kids if you’re taking them along.
The West Wing was a delightful holiday venue.
Everything was comfortable and accessible. The gardens were beautiful and great to relax in. The welcome basket was much appreciated and the owners were very friendly and informative. The West Wing is clearly a place of much love and comfort and it welcomes its visitors in the same spirit. We had a great week in the property and totally relaxed. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you had a good journey home.
Jane and Jim were extremely helpful and kind.
There was everything in the property that you could ever need. It is a beautiful property in a fantastic area. I just wish we could have stayed longer. Myself, my son and my grandson, even our two dogs, had a wonderful stay. It was nice that Sam came to visit, and he didn't seem to want to go home. Even the cows in the next field were friendly. The garden was magnificent and gave my grandson and two dogs hours of fun running around. I cannot rate this property and the owners too highly. They deserve 10 stars, not the 5 stars maximum.
Thank you. We are pleased that you enjoyed your visit.
Lovely stay at the West Wing.
Very clean, well-equipped and comfortable. Beautiful surroundings, waking up early and watching the squirrels play from the conservatory was joy.
We really enjoyed our stay at the west wing.
. very comfortable and enough room for our two dogs..easy access to reach, towns, beach's, country walks and national parks..as there is an A road on your doorstep..just be aware of that!! if you are looking for complete peace and quiet...we didn't utilise the garden as much as we would of liked due to traffic noise at times ..but we chose to sightsee and visit different places each day..and where the west wing is positioned its great for that
really lovely property with great outdoor space home from home really comfortable all round.
Lots of wildlife to see in garden. Owners friendly and helpful.
The property was excellent,very clean everywhere I would recommend with good vacilities comfortable beds and a pretty garden.
I enjoyed the walk along the lane and into fields where I watched a barn owl The pub in Bodfari was very good and the cherry pie pub sounded really nice but booked up when we were there We live in a very quiet place so the traffic noise took some getting used to but would not stop me from returning as the accommodation is so lovely
Had a fantastic break
The West Wing is a lovely house/cottage in a lovely rural setting.
Easily accessible by road. The place itself was spotlessly clean and has some beautiful furniture and pieces of art, decoration and antiques in it. The lounge and kitchen/diner were especially lovely rooms to spend time in. We had a very relaxing break there and would certainly recommend it to others as a place to escape too. The area surrounding the house provides much to see, walks and lots to explore. If you are asking what could be improved: (1) The beds was perhaps the main thing. These were not overly comfortable, and better beds would have uplifted our stay. (2) The main garden whilst it appears fully fenced in, on arrival we were told that there are some gaps in the hedge which do lead out onto a main road. This meant we couldn't get the dogs run freely in the garden but had to supervise them. Ensuring the garden is fully enclosed would be great. (3) Finally, the house is beautifully decorated and has many lovely pieces of decoration around the place. If you are staying here with younger children, dogs like us, etc you might want to do a sweep and lift some of these up out of the way to avoid damages! But overall, we had a lovely time, and a very pleasant stay. The couple that run the place (they live next door) were friendly, although a tip for those arriving, it is best not to arrive earlier than the stated time, as cleaning will still be in progress.
I am sorry that you did not feel that the beds were comfortable but others (and we) do not agree so we will not be changing these. All guests are warned that there is no fence in the hedge to the front garden but that dogs can use the large shared fully enclosed back garden, and often our field when there are no sheep on it as when you visited. The website details that young children are not permitted and the photographs show the decoration so we would hope that people would not book if they are likely to have difficulty with this. Check in time is 5pm, and this is highlighted in my introductory email before arrival date, as this is not a simple holiday home to clean. If guests particularly wish to arrive early they may contact me before hand, as some changeovers take less time and I should have a good idea whether this is possible.
Amazing holiday, we enjoyed every minute and West Wing is a beautiful, clean and spacious accommodation.
The cottage lived up to the photos on the website. Well furnished with plenty of kitchen equipment. Very clean throughout the property. Well positioned with off road parking space. The weather was not altogether brilliant but this did not matter in such comfortable and convenient accommodation. We hope to return to West Wing in 2024, Sheila
Lovely staying in the West Wing, It’s very stylish and very roomy.
We couldn’t fault anything and the owner was very welcoming and friendly.
Excellent, I felt privileged to be allowed to stay at the West Wing, it has to be my most favourite place I have ever stayed.
MAGICAL.
I have been using Sykes for many years & without doubt The West wing is one of the best cottages that i have stayed in.
A lovely comfortable warm cottage in a beautiful area. Nothing too much trouble for the hosts. Lots of things to do in the local area. I would highly recommend a stay at the West Wing.
The West Wing was absolutely great.
It was beautifully furnished and felt like being in a traditional country house. We loved the area which is a less known part of North Wales, set among the Clwydian hills with lovely country walking and really good places to eat out. Looking forward to returning.
At the beginning of November we had our 2nd stay at The West Wing & it was another lovely relaxing break.
It feels like a home from home & being surrounded by books is an added bonus plus there's a great selection of dvds too. Jane and her husband are lovely too. We will no doubt be back again in the future
Thank you so much to Jane and Jim.
We had another magical stay in your beautiful house, loved every minute. Looking forward to returning soon. Brian,Patricia,Norma and Pam
Our third visit to this beautiful property.
The owners are very friendly and helpful. Well stocked regarding kitchen equipment etc and lots of books etc to browse through. Wifi a little patchy in places but the property is rural which probably has something to do with it. Will definitely consider going again
This was our second visit to the west wing and as before everything was spot on with the accommodation.
Cleanliness is exceptional and the quality of furnishings and facilities etc is unrivalled. Bodfari is a great central location for exploring north Wales and all the wide variety of activities it has to offer.
First class accommodation.
First class hosts. Perfect holiday property.
Very nice and roomy accommodation, everything you need for a weeks stay, very comfortable with great garden to relax in.
Local bar 10mins away which serves great meals.
Wonderful holiday cottage, highly recommend.
Jane and Jim lovely hosts supplying homemade jam and welshcakes. Immaculately clean cottage with a lovely relaxing large garden. The icing on the cake - being allowed to play the gorgeous baby grand piano!
We go on 4/5 Cottage holidays every Year Certyainly The best we have ever Stayed in Ideally Placed to see the Best of North Wales And Wonderful Hosts Going back again in July Simply Wonderful
Beautiful cottage, very well equipped and comfortable.
Our holiday at The West Wing was brilliant.
It was one of the best cottages we have stayed at. It was comfortable, very clean and the owner was very helpful. Would highly recommend this cottage for your holiday stay.
This a wonderful property that is truly a home and homely, set in grounds that make the very best of the weather, yet with great privacy.
Jane and Jim are lovely hosts.
Jane and Jim made us feel at home straight away with the lovely home made jam and the fire already laid.
The weather during our stay was awful, but it was truly a home from home, with a lovely choice of books and a roaring log fire . I only hope that when we come again, we will get to enjoy the beautiful garden. Thank you Jim and Jane.
Absolutely stunning architecture with traditional features and lovely spacious gardens, we have stayed in many cottages and this by far is one of the best, two days into our stay we booked to come back as we were so impressed with the property that has so much charm.
The photographs do not do this home justice, wonderful,opulent and cosy.
Mini-break at the west wing was really a lovely experience.
Jane and Jim are a very welcoming couple. The west wing itself is a place you want to go back to. They let me bring my 2 dogs (well behaved) who had a whale of a time in the large garden. Altogether more than a five star stay.
Exceptional property.
Like being guests in someone's own home. Great having the enclosed gardens for our dog Misty.
Fantastic cottage that was warm and welcoming.
Jim and Jane were fantastic hosts and very informative. If you are looking for 5 star accommodation in this area The West Wing is the one that we would recommend. The damson jam and Welsh cakes also went down a treat! Pete & Babs. Kirkcaldy.
West Wing is just perfect in every way.
Would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing break away from the stresses and strains of everyday living.
The cottage was lovely.
Would definitely recommend.
Very comfortable cottage and friendly owner.
Excellent walking area.
We have just enjoyed a most fabulous week at ‘The West Wing’.
The house was beautifully presented throughout and was meticulously spotless. Jane and Jim are the perfect hosts, discreet but there if you need them. A much appreciated welcome pack was left to help us settle in. The house is centrally located to everything Wales has to offer whatever your preference may be. All in all this was by far one of the nicest holiday homes we have ever stayed at and one we definitely plan to return to.
Been to many places, The west wing is one of the best memory for us.
Very beautiful and elegant design architecture, Warm feeling with the fireplace and grand piano allowed to play. Shower, Oven and underfloor heating working very well. Our hosts are lovely to support us and welcome us. We will definitely come back one day.
We had a lovely family holiday with the West Wing as our base.
The cottage was amazing and very well appointed and the kids and our dog loved it. The owners are friendly and helpful I would recommend the local pub restaurant.
The cottage was amazing.
The gardens were beautiful and our dog got on well with the owners dog so we could let him roam free. Very relaxing holiday in a wonderful setting. Jane the owner made us very welcome.
This was our second visit and we enjoyed this visit as much as we did the first!
The house itself has everything (and more) that one could want and we enjoyed the arrival pack (jams/ biscuits/ preserves) and appreciate the extra detail. We were able to relax in the gardens and the extensive wildlife that visited made this stay truly memorable. Thank you again Jane and Jim.
Such a beautiful cottage and gardens.
A very well equipped, clean and charming place to stay. Delightful hosts who were helpful and very welcoming too. Highly recommended and hope to visit there again.
The house and garden are lovely and spacious, and the surrounding countryside is beautiful.
The house is very well equipped and an interesting place to stay. The hosts - and host canine - are very welcoming. We saw a pheasant, a mallard, a woodpecker, owl and squirrel - all in the back garden!
Absolutely stunning place to stay for your holiday.
Jane is a wonderful host, very helpful!! The house is so beautifully done inside with plenty of space inside and outside. There are a lots of different dog friendly walks nearby. Beds are very comfortable. The place was spotless when we arrived. Really recommending it to anyone
It was an exceptional experience, truly amazing!
The cottage is lovely with a self-contained garden; everything we could have wanted was available including plenty of books, DVD's, even a turntable with LP's and some 45's, mostly classical/operatic and some more modern/orchestral. The woodburner added to the ambiance and there are so many lights/lamps in strategic places it's truly enchanting especially in the evenings. There's plenty of room, the rooms themselves including the kitchen were spacious and really quaint and the upstairs bedroom charming and comfortable with an en-suite bathroom. The conservatory is very light and comfortable and the owners, friendly and obliging. I honestly can't praise it enough!
'The West Wing' was the most beautiful place we've ever stayed in.
From the moment we stepped through the front door with a hint of log burning still in the air from previous guests, (I loved that smell) to just wondering around the house saying WOW to so many wonderful but very personal treasures. My husband plays the piano which was amazing (although the middle G key was not working). Jane and Tim were very much on hand if we needed any advice with anything and everything. We loved the welcome pack which was very much enjoyed. You will have the best welcome from 'Sam' the dog..x
What a glorious and unique cottage where nothing was too much trouble for the owners.
This accommodation really enhanced our holiday overall and we would love to return.
The West Wing in Denbighsire was amazing and just the tonic we needed after my wife had been so ill this past year.
Totally recommend the cottage and the owners were lovely and very helpful when we needed some info or advice. We will definitely return and booking with Sykes is so easy. Used them many times and will no doubt use them again!!
This is a beautiful property in every way.
Jane and Jim were the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble for them. We are really looking girward to returning in the not too distant future.
My family & I had a wonderful stay at the 'West Wing' cottage.
It was so beautiful & we all imagined how wonderful it would be to have a Christmas there, all the family huddled round the piano with a glass or two. The log fire was marvellous & made us feel 'at home'. It was almost like being in a Highland castle. Beds we're lovely & comfortable, as was the rest of the cottage. There's plenty of walks in the area & the shops & sea are a short distance away. Jane & Jim made us so welcome &,yes, we'd definitely love to come back. Well done.
The Wing' was everything we expected it to be and more.
Before arriving we were sent a very detailed and comprehensive list of restrictions and important information we needed regarding the current situation. Jane the owner was helpful and thoughtful.It was very clean and welcoming and some lovely added touches on arrival.
The West Wing is a beautiful cottage with a lovely conservatory and extensive garden and seating areas.
The beds and sofas are very comfortable. Jane is a lovely, kind host. A lovely, relaxing, beautiful place to stay. Many thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home.
Fantastic stay in The West Wing.
Fantastic welcome from the owners. More like staying in a hotel rather than a cottage. The cottage was fantastically equipped with everything you need. Really warm and clean and with fantastic walks on the doorstep. Will be going back
Cannot say anything bad about this cottage.
We were greeted on arrival by the owners who had left us tea. Coffee, milk, cakes and even doggy bones. The cottage is beautiful and very cosy and comfortable. There are walks and beautiful scenery around you and the sea a few miles away. Would recommend this cottage to anyone wanted a relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings .We have booked again later in the year. Definitely a 10/10.
The West Wing is much more than an annex.
The interior is opulent, warm, comfortable and everything you could wish for when having a relaxing break. Jane was very welcoming but not intrusive. She was very helpful in telling us what attractions were open as we went off season. We loved the beautiful antique furnishings and the baby grand piano. The sofas were comfortable and the TV huge.The large gardens were explored by our cat and he amused himself going out one door and racing around to the next doors. The kitchen was well stocked with enough utensils, fridge freezer space to cook up family meals. The beds were comfortable and the pillows, duvets etc of the highest quality. We were amazed by some negative feedback in the visitors book. The person mustn’t have seen any photos and remarked it was overcrowded with bric a brac! Personally, I am surprised that the owners trust people with such beautiful expensive pieces. They even had problems with the curtains and cords. There were blinds available which they probably didn’t observe! This property is unique, with lots of space and privacy. I only hope selfishly that it remains a well kept secret so we can book again. Thank you Jane and family for sharing such a beautiful home with us
We needed a relaxing week and we certainly had that at the West Wing !
Along with our two Airedale Terriers, Charlie and Merri, we were made to feel so welcome here and in fact have booked again for next year. The house is beautifully furnished and feels like a 'real' home rather than a holiday cottage. It is spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped and the owners, Jane and Jim ( not forgetting Sam the dog !) cannot do enough to help you have a comfortable stay. Lovely house, comfortable beds, extensive gardens, what more could you ask for ?
We had a lovely stay at the west wing, it was warm and very comfortable, ideal for exploring N.
Wales and Snowdonia. The owner Jane was very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended
Love the cottage nice and warm and comfortable, did not like the walk to the pub it was light when we went on are way back it was dark its along the a541 which as no footpath also i would say it needs a light at the front we miss it 2 on are way back at night ,but yes i would recommend
This was our second visit to the West Wing.
We found a couple of the recent reviews baffling; we love the traditional feel, the antique furniture, pottery etc etc. And surely people look at the photos before booking? And the double bed is supremely comfortable and firm enough for my own damaged spine. This property is a real home from home, and it's relaxing atmosphere and high quality fixtures, fittings and equipment are a tribute to Jane's late parents. Jane herself is a lovely host, and was kind enough to give me a card when she knew it was my birthday, and a small bottle of her delicious damson gin. Our dogs love the garden, and Jane makes them feel very welcome too!
This cottage is truly gorgeous.
It has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break and is in the perfect location to explore Wales. Our hosts were friendly and caring and I would love to return x
We spent a week at the West Wing which was spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped.
The owner, Jane, could not have been more helpful, and gave us maps of the area, and showed us walks where we could take our old arthritic dog, who can no longer get over styles. She also brought over lots of extra floor rugs because his paws were slipping on the beautiful floor tiles. She also lit a fire for us so we were greeted with a lovely warm lounge. You are only a few miles away from the OFFA DYKE trail, which even though the weather was absolutely abysmal, we still had some lovely walks through the Clywdian hills. The only downside for us, was that the mattresses were far too soft and dipped, leaving us with back ache, and the duvet too hot for us, and,no matter how many table lamps you put on, the lighting was still so dismal throughout,that it remained too gloomy to lend itself to comfortable reading. Shame. The property is also situated on a main road with a huge front private garden, but there is no fence,only a hedge between it and the road, so we were anxious for the dog to be wandering out there on his own. It was also very noisy and not the quiet of the Welsh hills that we were hoping for. Having said that, if you are not into reading, there was a wonderfully large TV with Netflix access and lots of DVD's and In spite of the personal niggles, I would definitely recommend the West Wing to families with children, walkers and couples of all ages.
Great place to stay if you like the old fashioned look House dark in places and chilly as underfloor heating was not working it also was over crowded with bric a brac and furniture knocked our self MANY times around house could not get to cutains to pull close properly because of large armchair and plates very close to area where curtain cords were also a large piano rest of house was great super kitchen it was supplied with all you can want but also dark and needed lights on all time The conservartory chairs hard so sitting on them for a while was not comfy so only sat for a short while in there Front private garden was nice with seating provided but did not use as weather conditions prevent that The owners were helpful when asked and friendly enjoyed our stay nonetheless would i book again maybe
A lovely cottage with every amenity possible.
The host was friendly and helpful and homemade jam was delicious!
The West Wing is beautiful in all respects; considerate and lovely hosts where nothing is too much trouble, beautiful setting with every conceivable amenity.
We loved the wonderful garden as did our little dog and grandson! Will definitely return and the house is within the range of all the North Wales tourist attractions. Yes, a great holiday had by all. Again, the hosts should be praised for their efforts in making this an exceptional Sykes Cottage location.
We have stopped at many cottages and this was far the best we have stayed in, it was relaxing and very comfortable, grounds were beautiful.
We could not have wished for anything better.We didn’t want to come home. Will highly recommend this cottage to anyone.
This is a totally unique property and certainly lives up to photographs that are posted.
Very well equipped with masses of storage space, much more like a home from home than a holiday let. And I would also like to thank Jane, who was the perfect holiday host. We will most definitely be returning in the future.
What a special place the West Wing is, surrounded by beautiful things collected over the years.
The gardens are gorgeous and there are many places to sit and enjoy your surroundings. Jane is always available but not intrusive and we will never forget our visit.
Obviously an annexe that has been converted and so it is extremely well supplied with plenty of storage space and feels like home.
The owners were most helpful without being obtrusive.
I can only echo the previous reviews this holiday let has had, outstanding in every way and by far exceeded our expectations, hope to return again, you will not be disappointed.
Fantastic cottage, step inside and everything there to make your stay enjoyable, Jane is a lovely host.

Great week.
Friendly and helpful hosts
Having been mightily impressed by the photographs, on arrival at the property, our expectations were exceeded mightily too.
The West Wing is a haven of warmth and comfort, and very much a temporary home rather than a basic holiday let. It came as no surprise that it was previously a much loved home, and is a testament to the couple who created it. Their daughter, Jane, has preserved its essence, and it feels a privilege to enjoy spending time there. Jane herself is very friendly, without being at all intrusive. We intend to return, definitely. The area is one we have often scooted past on our way to North West Wales, but is rightly designated an area of outstanding natural beauty. The local village is lovely, and the Dinorben Arms a wonderful pub and place to eat. Good food, a friendly welcome and happy to have dogs as guests too.
Excellent host, nice warm property, plenty of bird life in the lovely big garden, would recommend Regards
Thi is a beautiful well furnished holiday let.
We were extremely comfortable and the furniture, pictures, books and ornaments added to our enjoyment. It was a pleasure to cook in the well equipped kitchen with quality appliances and there was an abundance of crockery and glasses. It was lovely to relax and eat lunch on the patio where there was variety of shrubs and trees just beginning to bud.
Had a fantastic holiday at the west wing.
The property was spacious and very comfortable and well equipped. Would highly recommend. Stephen,sarah and otis the Newfoundland
Stunning property and we were made to feel very welcome as soon as we arrived.
This was the best cottage I've stayed in in 25 years!
Besides doing the basics - spacious, warm (from underfloor heating plus woodburner) and clean - it was a very interesting layout (including a minstrel's gallery!) with a great variety of individualized and well-designed spaces to relax, read, play games with your kids, or even get away from your kids. But it what was inside that made it utterly gorgeous: from the features and furniture to the beasts on the wall, from the book-lined corridor to the baby grand piano, this was a house created for and by a couple who really understood good architecture and the joy and variety of life! And all of that is before you enjoy the gardens and multiple seats to catch the sun, or explore the graceful Denbighshire hills within view... So, if you want vacant soulless minimalist hotel-room style cottages, don't come here: but if you want an adventure, a romance, relaxation, fun, then book early, book often! And the owner is always on hand, very friendly and knowledgeable to boot! Thank you for giving us this gorgeous place for a week
