“The house was really spacious which suited our group as we were 8 in total; there were 4 different lounges including a conservatory (2 with fires), plus huge dining room table & outdoor table.”

Gorgeous setting & views. Just needs a lick of paint/refresh decor in some rooms. Replace some pans too. Clear cobwebs in utility room & get a new microwave (rusty on outside). Our hot water went off one morning but by lunchtime was fixed, so didn’t affect our plans. Lovely horses in stables. Had such a lovely stay. Not boutique standard but that’s not what we were looking for anyway. That’s why I gave you 5 stars!

Mrs Penn July 2021

“Cleanliness at the property in all aspects.”

Also upkeep of garden outside, unable to sit out, as grass far too long. Very pleased with other aspects, amazing locations and huge! Although, it could be some much more.

Mrs Blanchard June 2021

Mrs Maskery September 2020

“After not being able to have our break in England, due to new Covid-19 laws, we realised we would be able to travel to Wales, as our 2 year old granddaughter was not counted in our family of 6.”

My husband saw Sykes Cottages advertised on TV, so looked on the website and found Derwas was available for our weekend dates. I rang Sykes Cottages , and a very helpful , professional lady helped me with our booking. Everything ran very smoothly, key collection and spotlessly clean holiday home to arrive at. We all had a very peaceful and relaxing weekend, would highly recommend this property.

Miss Berry March 2020

“The house is ginormous, we got lost when we first arrived.”

It's beautiful, with so many areas to relax. We came on the last day weekend before we went into lockdown and so we spent the whole weekend inside and we we weren't bored! Board games, a big TV with freeview, piano, chillout rooms, libraries and the grounds which included 2 horses for friends We really enjoyed ourselves and will be coming back again! Thank you for having us. The Berry's March 2020

Mrs Robinson March 2020

“What a beautiful location for a group get together, and of course, little did we know at the time that this would be our last get together this year.”

Derwas is stunning and very comfortable indeed given the chance I would return most definitely.

- Mrs Robinson, March 2020
Mr Outhwaite October 2019

“The house was very cold when we arrived and the second king sized bed was not made into a twin as we requested.”

We phoned three times but nobody answered our calls. Access to the master bedroom was only through the jack and jill bathroom, so when it was occupied it was not possible to go into the front bedroom.

- Mr Outhwaite, October 2019
Mr Shanks October 2019

“House was ideal for large groups with everything you need for a relaxing break”

- Mr Shanks, October 2019
Miss Wheeler August 2019

“A beautiful setting, with plenty of space to relax and a well-equipped kitchen.”

There was plenty of information about what to go and where to go. We enjoyed playing the piano. It had a very homely and relaxing atmosphere.

- Miss Wheeler, August 2019
Mr Swift August 2019

“The cottage had everything we needed, the surroundings were beautiful and 12 of us could eat, drink and play games together but still have our own space when we wanted it.”

Brilliant weekend

- Mr Swift, August 2019
Mr Mangnall July 2019

“We did not have any hot water when we first arrived at the house.”

Fortunately a plumber was arranged very quickly and the problem was resolved late in the evening.

“We loved this huge house set amongst the green hills.”

Having so much space for our family and their children (8 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 babies) meant that we not only had sufficient bedrooms for all without overlap and a very large kitchen table which seated us all for our cacophonous mealtimes, but each person also had a lounge area to escape to for a change of scene (we called one room the ‘peace’ room and certain of us loved the tv lounge with day bed!). Unfortunately we didn’t get the weather to sit about or play out of doors much, nor was it cold enough to light the log fires, which would have been nice. The location not far away from the wonderful beach at Old Colwyn was great: there was lots to do and see for all within a comfortable distance. We loved the character and facilities of the house (great kitchen appliances). We can highly recommend Derwas.

“Derwas is a beautiful home in a fabulous location.”

Spacious, comfortable and happy home atmosphere. Would love to return.

Dave Scarbrough Jun 2018

“Location very quiet but close to lots of things to do.”

We loved the rural location with countryside views. The gardens were enclosed, so suitable for our young Grandchildren. The house is huge and the 3 generations enjoyed the space for games and relaxing. We were pleased to find a piano, though it needed tuning. 3 things could be improved - a) The directions are incorrect. It would help to say that Derwas is marked on the OS map (though not on Google) b) there were nettles growing through open steps into the garden c) the house is very well equipped except for matches to light the supplied candles during a power cut!

“Lovely comfortable family house with lots of space for the 10 of us.”

Beautiful location and close to lots of attractions. Great selection of books and dvds for children and adults. The 2 log fires made it really cosy for cold autumn evenings. Well equipped kitchen and good quality appliances.

The property

Derwas exudes charm and character.

Individually styled rooms in contemporary colours, tasteful soft furnishings, interesting art and a mix of old and new that complement each other so well.

Just a short drive to the seaside, the North Wales Footpath, Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Zoo or you can stay put and lap up the peace and beauty around you. "Derwas is a house for laughter, fun and memorable times together.

We all love Derwas!" The interior is fun and relaxing and thoughtfully designed, in a sublime location lovely all year round.

Close to Surf Snowdonia. The windows and garden offer lovely views of the rolling North Wales countryside, yet you are only a few miles away from the coast and bustling villages.

Situated in the county of Conwy you can easily access coast, mountains, countryside and town - walking, climbing, hiking, golf, shooting, fishing and all manner of watersports.

There are also historic castles, local market towns, museums and gardens to explore.

If you want something a bit more cosmopolitan the walled city of Chester is less than half an hour away - you will never get bored!
