Riverlea

Superb short break at this lovely little cottage Everything you need and the beautiful surroundings.

We had a very enjoyable stay at riverlea even the weather was good.

Our dog sam had a lovely time on barkby beach . The food at the new inn pub was excellent. A very satisfying break would recommend the cottage highly. Many thanks to Debbie the owner.

Had a great time there to relax in good proximity to the north Wales coast.

Pub next door was excellent with a perfectly cooked medium rare steak. Facilities were great and everywhere was spotless. My only criticism is that the parking space was a little difficult to get out of on to the main road. No fault of the owners of course, just an observation. A great break, thanks!

A lovely cottage all on one floor.

Good sized rooms with modern finish and all well equiped. The owner is nearby and very helpful. The only problem was because of the area poor tv reception on terrestrial tv but ok on ITVX etc. Ideally situated with Prestatyn, Rhuddlan and Denbeigh less than 20 mins away. The New Inn next door does excellent food. I would recommend this cottage.

The cottage was presented very well, with excellent space for our requirements.

Location and local shops/pub within good distance. The only areas which could be improved was the bathroom door needs attention as it had to be lifted in order to lock. Also providing more cleaning items such as; tea towels, dishcloths and toilet rolls. Whilst maybe seen as minor points these things are essential if staying at the cottage and catering for yourselves.

We enjoyed our weeks stay at Riverlea.

Clean, tidy, comfortable and well presented cottage. Probably ideal for someone with mobility issues as all on one level (apart from the patio area to the rear) but a guidance rail is in place to assist up and down the steps. Everything catered for that we needed during our stay. The New Inn pub is next door but one and would recommend. Friendly and helpful staff. On a regular bus route if you don't wish to drive or don't have a vehicle. Dyserth Waterfall just across the road is worth a visit also. A good base for exploring North Wales with so many lovely places to visit! We definitely hope to return in the future and would recommend this cottage :)

Beautiful cottage, very clean and well presented.

Everything we needed was there. We loved the wall decorations etc. Garden was also very great sit out. Very tasty. Thanks for such a lovely home away from home. Well done!

Would recommend this cottage to anyone who wishes to explore the north wales coast line.

Living room could do with refreshing, kitchen and bathroom lovely.

Rear garden could do with tidying up and an outside light would be good. Great location great base for travelling around north wales, ev charger was a great bonus.handy pub next door lovely food.

Great cottage, comfortable.

Garden a little untidy and not welcoming to sit out there. Bed squeaky and floor rugs a trip hazard. Great location for travelling around and also for walking!

Clean and comfortable cottage in beautiful location.

Lovely bathroom with bath and shower,large kitchen and very comfortable beds. Patio outside is a fab sun trap.Thanks to Debbie who kindly gave us tickets for Party in the Park much appreciated.

A lovely, rustic little Welsh cottage, but equipped with all the modern conveniences.

Very clean and well laid out. Set in a very pretty village, close to country walks, beaches and many attractions of North Wales. It's ideal for people in a good state of fitness, as it's in a hilly, rocky area. Also a very busy main road runs right past the cottage with no pavements. This can be daunting, and patience is needed when pulling in or out of the small drive. Also, mobile phone reception is poor within the cottage. However the beauty of this place far outweighs the challenges. It was our 5th visit, and we will return.

Lovely holiday cottage with all the amenities we could need, plenty of space for the 3 of us and the dog.

Would definitely look to come back here again in future, easy reach of other near by destinations and very homely.

Absolutely beautiful little cottage in a beautiful little village perfect for visiting all the beaches really enjoyed our stay We even had to extend Our stay as we didn’t want to go home It’s sum up.

It was a perfect week in a perfect cottage with perfect weather or more. Could we ask for?

Very disappointed with standard of accommodation.

Mould along window wall and above window of twin bedroom, also some behind wardrobe in double bedroom. Mould also on shower hose. (Change of hose was offered but we were out so asked that it be left until after we came home). Bathroom window catch in unsafe condition. Paint flaking throughout and wallpaper torn and bits hanging off. I have informed the owner of all these defects but no response yet. Had we been aware of these issues we certainly would not have booked it.

Had a lovely stay in this cottage.

It was really clean and has comfortable beds. Debbie was very helpful and always responded to texts within minutes. I hope to visit again!

Nice property, wifi bit hit and miss, modem constantly flashing in bedroom.

Would have been nice to be informed workmen were going to be in cottage when we got back, they were moving car charging point, some damage caused owner informed.For me North Wales sorry wont be visiting again. Nothing to do with property.

Fantastic place, Everything you need.

A real home from home. Highly recommended. Rhe waterfall is outstanding and on the doorstep. 100% booking this place again

Cottage is stunning cannot fault anything location excellent

Great weekend break in really cosy and comfy cottage in an ideal location.

Owners very friendly and on hand for anything if we needed it

What a fantastic little property nice and warm and had everything you needed.

Me and my dog (Cooper) loved every minute . The village is lovely . Not far from a beach lovely walks . We will be going back to this one. Just one think... I would move the smart meter out of sight. But thats it 10 out of 10 Thankyou very much

Beautiful and welcoming such a clean and pleasant cottage fantastic view of the waterfall.

We will be booking for next year

A delightful cosy cottage.

Comfortable and impeccably clean. A great base for exploring North Wales. Thank you

It was last minute booking for Riverlea.

Have stayed in the cottage next door last year. This is a beautiful cottage. Quiet and a great sleep. Kids loved it too. It exceeded our expectation. A great base for north Wales and will certainly stay here again. The kitchen is was well equipped for our stay and a lovely gesture of scones on arrival. Got to meet Debbie too who reassured us to call her if any problems. Didn't have any though. We certainly recommend this cottage and will stay here again. Thank you Debbie for letting us stay in your cosy cottage.

Lovely place to stay, clean and cosy

We had a lovely stay at Riverlea.

It was everything it promised. An ideal touring base and Dyserth Village was lovely with really friendly residents.

Lovely, comfortable cottage in a good location for exploring North Wales.

Kitchen has been refurbished since the website photos were taken and is great. We enjoyed the welcome sponge cake!

We had a great time in Riverlea cottage .

Everything was there that we needed . It was clean and very comfortable . It was great to come back to the cottage after being out ( it was when the temperature was 27+) it was cool and because it is an old cottage it was a little dark but great after the bright hot days we had ,the tiles on the floor kept your feet cool. The parking wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be , whether you drove on or reversed . We will definitely be rebooking and telling all family and friends about Riverlea cottage .

Well maintained, clean, comfortable cottage.

Everything was provided for an excellent stay. The cake that Debbie the owner provided was excellent thank you. We will certainly think of booking Riverlea again next year.

The living room is very dark had to have lights on in June the driveway is so dangerous to get in and out of would hate to see it in July and August the shed in the back garden needs to be condemned and the lack of recycling facilities is shocking

The cottage was lovely, well equipped, comfortable, homely and well situated.

A beautiful home made cake greeted us on arrival which was very welcoming. We would recommend the cottage to family and friends and hope to be back again ourselves.

It's a truly home from home (though a lot cleaner than mine!

). Very comfortable in all respects. If you have a dog it's excellent with flooring that is easy to keep clean and a totally secure patio area out the back where the dog can go out and come back clean no matter the weather!! Also a couple of small meadow areas two minutes walk along the road and when feeling energetic and steep walk up by the waterfall just across the road. Strongly recommend it.

A lovely cosy cottage it had everything we needed and in a great location for what we wanted to do.

The owner was lovely, freindly and very h\elpful the welcome cake was lovely and it did not last long lol. We will definitely be staying here again hopefully in the not to distant future, Peter Barbara and Louie the Labrador.

Good property, only thing really is pulling off the drive, very busy road, you can't see what's coming to your right.

Which makes it a bit dicy pulling out. But we enjoyed our stay there.

We had a great time staying at Riverlea.

It had everything we needed and more. It was perfect for the dog as there is an enclosed garden at the back. The garden was also great for sitting out in the sun. Easy access to other places in North Wales.

We had a fantastic time at RiverLea.

The cottage is beautiful and has very thing you need to enjoy your stay. Communication with the owner was easy and everything was ready for our arrival. The beds are really comfortable and we were very lucky to have had such glorious weather where we could enjoy the raised patio area which is a real sun trap. I would highly recommend this cottage and we will definitely be back. Dyserth is a such a lovely little village & was an ideal base for us to enjoy the surrounding areas.

We had a lovely week at Riverlea.

The cottage is cosy and perfect for a couple. The back terrace is a sun trap and I frequently had my breakfast there as we had good weather. The location is perfect as it is close to the coast but also away from the crowds. The New Inn next door is well known for good food and so convenient. Don't forget to visit the waterfall and walk the Dyserth- Prestatyn walkway - you can stop for lunch or coffee at Y Shed or St Melyd Golf course. The beaches are all magnificent - visit the new Hub at Rhyl; Harbour over the Pont Y Draig bridge where you can have lunch, coffee or hire bikes. Take a ride on Rhyl Miniature Railway which is over 100 years old. We also visited Bodnant Garden which is always stunning. We had a great week and I would definitely recommend the cottage and would stay again. Debbie provided coffee, tea and sugar and a welcome lemon drizzle was a nice touch. The garden has no grass front or back but there is a grassed area next to the pub where we could take our dog which also has a dog waste bin.There is off road parking for one car.

2nd stay at River lea.

It has had a little spruce during lock down and absolutely perfect for us. Lovely and clean, great location and brilliant to be able to bring the dog. Thank you Debbie

I stayed in cottage for isolation it was ideal and anyone.

The cottage is really pretty with a lovely garden to sit in and enjoy the sun. Well based for a holiday in North Wales.

Lovely and clean nice welcome cake had everything we needed for a holiday

Lovely cottage-still bits the owners are working on but overall very satisfactory x if your not a competent driver you may find reversing on or off a main road onto the driveway a little daunting and if your not very mobile you may find the steep steps in the garden tricky.

Stepping out from the cottage is hilly in all directions so again needs to be considered when booking as the accommodation is a bungalow do nat attract certain clientele. Very nicely decorated and spacious with all necessary home comforts.

On arrival it was late but we had no problems gaining entrance and finding some goodies etc in fridge for breakfast etc and everything seemed ok until morning As we were staying 5 weeks we needed to stock up cupboards etc and that’s when we looked more closely at cleanliness of property and it was not clean We had to clean every single kitchen cupboard and all crockery Then clean wooden board in shower as slime on underside and filthy then empty drain in shower Cleaned all tiled floors throughout after taking up and storing stained rugs in kitchen and hallway Washer was full of dog hairs and product drawers were slimy and old product Not a good experience to start with gave all this in writing to the Manager along with small list of repairs on vacating property who promised to rectify problems however not what we expected We’ve stayed at other holiday cottages and never had these experiences plus we have always had an arrival info pack which was definitely missing here so no info on such things as bin day and recycling procedures for food waste etc Not a problem with property Manager once problems notified but unfortunately not a good review

A perfect rental property.

We stayed for a month between the sale and the purchase of a property. Cottage was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen stocked with everything you could need. Back garden was secure for our dog. Off road parking space for a large car at the front. Also plenty of parking in streets around if you have more than one car. Strong wifi, and two smart tv's. The host Debbie couldn't do enough for you to make your stay an enjoyable one. The new inn is great for food and the red lion is good for a casual drink. Plenty of good walks available straight from the front door. Highly recommended.

This could of been a 5* holiday cottage but for the lack of utensils.

Only 1 egg cup between 4 people. No dishes glass or plastic for fruit, dogs food or water etc, no vegetable knife and worst of all no recycling bin. The cottage it self was beautiful and comfortable but a real let down with lack of utensils.

It was a very nice comfortable cottage well situated for exploring north wales every thing was well equipped and spacious we thought the creme cake was a nice welcoming touch it was also ideal for our dog as well

We had a lovely holiday at Riverlea.

It was a great location for touring North Wales and had everything we could have wanted.

lovely cottage with waterfall across the road and owner very helpful

Everything you need for a holiday what ever the weather , plenty of places to visit near by, nice pub next door if you don't feel like cooking and on a nice day sit outside and take the dog

Extremely comfortable, home from home (better in some ways!

) experience. There were two of us and one little dog and it really met all our needs. Big spacious kitchen and dining area. Everything absolutely clean and modern. King size bed in main bedroom and two singles in second. Good sized wardrobes. No chest of drawers but large shelf in wardrobe. Lovely little cosy living room with log burner. Safe enclosed little private back garden, just right for our elderly but inquisitive little dog! Frontage not secure and no pavement between drive and road so care needed getting in and out. No problem at the off season we were there. Very useful basics left in kitchen and best of all a wonderful homemade welcoming cream sponge cake! Highly recommended.

The cottage was extremly well presented and clean, Debbie, the owner, gave us some ecellent tips about the local area and places to eat.

I single out the St Melyd golf club in paticular,great food and lovely people.The new tavern right next door also has a great well deserved reputation. debbie also went to the trouble of baking a cake for our arrival, nice touch. Although the weather wasn't kind to us for most of the week we found plenty of things to see and do even if it was a little early for the main attractions. All inall agreat relaxing break made all the better by our base for the week. highly recommended. Mark and Lynette Dewar

Our holiday from beginning to end was amazing.

The cottage was everything we could wish for clean, cosy, well equipped, lots of space,quiet and more. Wales was a fantastic place to be with lots of places to visit, things to do and more. We didn’t get to see all so we will be going back. Booking with Sykes was a very easy and pleasant experience , with lots of updates, information and help if required. Thank you for everything. We will be booking with you again.

Booked the cottage at rather short notice.

I needed somewhere all on one level as my husband has mobility problems. Charming cottage, great location - near to several coastal resorts. Cottage well equipped with everything we needed for our 5 night stay and was literally opposite the Dyserth waterfall.. The owner Debbie, couldn't have been more helpful and hand delivered a fresh cream welcome cake which was delicious. There's a small park close-by to walk the dog at the beginning and end of the day, although the cottage does have a small secure garden. The village pub which is a couple of doors away serves decent food.

We were very happy with the cottage.

It was very modern yet retained its character. It was really cosy, the beds were so comfortable and the shower was brilliant. My friend also used the bath on a couple of occasions and loved it. I rang the owner when we arrived as we couldn’t connect the wi fi. She was actually at the airport on the way to her holiday but very kindly said she would contact her son in law to call round and sort it out, which he did. We were lucky with the weather so were able to have a few nice trips out to neighbouring resorts. All in all we had a great holiday and would certainly recommend the cottage.

The decor of the cottage is lovely and clean.

The bed was massive and comfy. So pleased there was a bath so many places just have showers. It lovely to have the choice. I love a bath. Though I do think there is a little issue with hot water. Loved the log burner and with it being so rainy and cold we used it a bit. The kitchen was absolutely fine for our cooking needs. Having WiFi was great not because wanting to keep up with social media or work but to keep in-touch with the boys at home because there was no phone signal. Having Netflix on the tv was amazing. We just logged into our account and watched films in front of the cozy log burner. I think slippers are a must with the tiled floors. The road is a bit airy straight out of the gate so be careful crossing the road near the blind bend. The enclosed back was good so we didn’t have to worry about leaving the patio door open for the dog. The waterfall just over the road is really lovely and a nice walk but steep. 50p admission. We went to the pub next door one evening for our tea. The food was amazing but a bit pricey for us. Couldn’t eat there all week. There is a nice walk into Dyserth . Thought steep. You take the right straight after the waterfall cafe it is sign posted public walkway. It’s quiet a few steep steps. But at the top is a butchers, farm shop, pub and a little Spa supermarket. We used the cottage as a base and went to Rhyl and Prestatyn. Which personality were rubbish. We went to Llandudno and that was a lot better. We also visit Denbigh castle and town. The castle was worth the £4-00 admission to have a wander round and in the town we visited the Glass onion cafe for lunch. Which was worth a visit. We sat outside in the sun with having a dog.

Loved the log fire and comfy chairs.

The bed was huge and comfortable. It was dog friendly and had a garden. The only thing I would improve is by providing more pots and pans for cooking and the water For baths wasn’t very hot
