Cariad Bach Reviews

I stayed at Caria Bach for two days over the bank holiday I was a solo traveller with my dog. Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful setting with great facilities. I had to contact owner regarding an issue with the dog and he was extremely helpful and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend.
We had a fantastic stay, very clean, really comfortable, the log burner in the hut was a great bonus. Really good shower. The location is perfect, peaceful with great walks on the doorstep. Plus my dog loved it! Would go back in a heartbeat
No hot water for shower or kitchen sink No pole to get bed down TV did not work at all then when repaired only channnel 4 Owner forgot to clean property prior to arrival. We were moved to another property which was ok but then texted to move back to original one on promise water and tv problems were fixed. But they were not. Owner would not answer phone from then on. Contacted Sykes but no help Other problems photos of property make property look new not the case Loads of flies from farm next door Owner reported we did not clean properties which was untrue
Caroline
Accommodation peaceful, cosy, warm and a very comfortable bed. Ideal location for exploring Offa's Dyke. Beautiful village and would recommend 'The Eagle and Child Inn' a short walk from Cariad Bach. TV did not appear to work..possibly needed a new battery in handset. We take books and games so it wasn't an issue. There did not appear to be a hook to pull down the bed which was mentioned. Fine for us as we could climb onto the seating to sort. Some instructions re the hot water may have been useful as we couldn't always get hot water flowing for a shower...but would still return!

What a beautifully decorated hut, perfect size, great location for some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Fast WiFi so I could get some work done great for those of us who work from home while we travel cant recommend this place enough.
Rebekah
We stayed for two nights and had a fabulous little weekend, so cosy and had everything we needed. Clean and really nice furnishings, loved the little touches of men and womens deodorant and shower gels, the things you can somethings forget. Our dog had plenty of outdoor space and in the evenings we enjoyed a camp fire outside or being cozy and watching tvreading a book inside. Fab

Had a great time Loved the Shepherds Hut Everything was spotless Very ... Had a great time Loved the Shepherds Hut Everything was spotless Very helpful and friendly owners Fantastic location Beautiful scenery Great for my dogs Very pet friendly Would recommend Cheers
We had a lovely stay, 2 nights. Our dog loved it, I'm glad though the other one wasn't occupied as we wouldn't have been so free to let our dog roam at his leisure so we were lucky. It's probably our dogs last trip away due to his health problems and age, we did this for him and was perfect. Owner was brilliant, we didn't have toilet roll, not a major issue, my partner rang him whilst I wasn't aware, we could have just got some! anyway he was literally here in 5 minutes with the goods and he said it wasn't any trouble at all, lovely bloke too! Shower good, bed good, enough amenities, shower gels etc there too. If giving any constructive ideas is say a few more hooks maybe, bigger shelves, just things to enhance storage, and a little travel kettle in cupboard would be great as it took a bit on the stove but no issue.
We loved every minute of our stay our dog Ralph especially. Will be back for sure.
Overall it was a lovely stay and great location surroundings in the hamlet of Gwaenysgor. Enough space for us both with our two beagles but we were received to have had such good weather so we were able to utilise both indoor and outdoor spaces. Dogs were mostly able to run round the whole plot with a few exceptions where they chose to go under or over some gaps. Inside was lovely but some attention to detail with more hooks and bigger shelves would help alot. Under bench storage was well used. Some small issues regarding a loose bathroom door handle and cleaning of windows would have made it perfect. One issue we had was more options for rubbish, glass and recycling would have helped but we had to just leave glass bottles out next to the single general waste wheelie bin. Overall we would absolutely recommend this location and we'd consider returning in the future. Thanks Jonathan
Hut is too small for 2 people. Get rid of all the crappy Nik naks as space is at a premium. More high level shelves required and for god's sake, put some hooks up for coats etc. Photos took with fish eye lens. Wrong. Needs a practical approach. The shower is bigger than the bathroom! And why is there no where to put shampoo, shower gel etc. On the positive, the bed was very comfortable.
Shelly
What a fab little hideaway. My partner & I stayed here for a week with our dog, Dottie & had the most relaxing time. Its so quiet & the scenery is breathtaking. We spent a day walking the trails & taking in the amazing views & the beach is only a 9 min drive from the hut. Everything we needed was supplied in the hut, its home from home & we will definitely be returning again. The only thing that would top this perfect little gem off would be a lazy spa but other than that it gets a well deserved 1010 from us.
Brilliant little palce had too leave early because of the weather with the dogs but definitely will be back
Chelsea
Amazing! Everything about our holiday was outstanding. We stayed in the middle of winter but didn't have any problems keeping warm.we had a minor problem with the boiler on the last day due to the freezing weather but the guy was so fast in coming out to fix it and was so friendly and helpful. I couldn't recommend this place anymore
Loved every part of this the hut the outside, and the inside was amazing. The interior was high quality. I miss the grey blanket and would love to know where that is from as it was thick and soft. The location is amazing it was so peaceful. I will definitely be returning.
Perfect location for a restful break, enjoyed the weather and walks on the dog friendly beaches with our dog Jasper. Visited the Eagle and Child pub, lovely food and beautiful gardens.
Niloufar
Very nice and organized, Everything was clean except Microwave! The bed and sheets are all clean, The view was wonderful, Quite and peaceful. We didn't want to leave there. Highly recommended.
Lovely quiet hideout in the middle of no where. Great if you want to escape the world. Cute little shepherd's hut with everything you need. I stayed with my 2 dogs and they had the freedom to roam around and sunbathe.
Compact and bijou very peaceful, lovely owners. Very clean. Brilliant for a getaway Thank you!
We loved the shepherds hut. Stayed 2 nights. It was a beautiful place and has everything you need. We also loved the space around the hut. It was a safe place for our dog to run about and enjoy his holiday too. Eagle and Child pub is 5 mins walk away and wed prebooked a table. Great food but they only welcome dogs outside or in the small smoking shelter not inside. Great location, close to Prestatyn and Rhyl.
William
We enjoyed our short break at Cariad Bach. A very peaceful and scenic setting. All was as 99 as described. Beautifully clean and equipped. There were no bin liners so we had to buy some. An easy thing to overlook and didn't spoilt the stay. Two suggestions though! It is extremely hot in warm weather so a small fan of some kind would help. Standard mugs would be easier to use although the sheep mugs looked nice and tied in with the accommodation they weren't really practical. The bed was extremely comfortable. All in all we really appreciated our stay and would recommend this place for short peaceful breaks.
Georgina
The property is finished to high standard very comfortable and we loved the fact that it was isolated like a secret hideaway! The views are lovely and its perfect for a short break we will be recommending this accommodation to family and friends and will be returning for another break!!
We had a lovely 2 night stay. Very comfortable... Useful to have Hob and microwave which meant we cooked one night as local pub fully booked...make sure you book in advance! We wanted a quiet place to stay within reach of walks and this is exactly what we got.
