Great property in a fantastic location. The property was clean and well equipped and was clearly built and is maintained to a high standard. I would certainly recommend this property.

Amazing place and great location. Made our Christmas a very good one!

This was our second stay and we were not disappointed. The care and attention given to the cabins by the owners is exceptional. On arrival, the cabin was spotlessly clean. A lovely welcome basket, fresh milk in the fridge, tea, coffee and sugar ready for a brew. The cabin is beautifully decorated, to a very high standard. Crisp white bed linen, fluffy towels, toiletries provided, just perfect. The hot tub is wonderful after a day out exploring. Sitting looking at the stars, heavenly! We have really enjoyed our stay and are returning home completely chilled out, relaxed and refreshed. All in all a really wonderful break, just wish it had been longer! Would not hesitate in recommending Wern Meadow, it really is a little piece of heaven.

This property is so lovely, my parents can't wait to book again for the summer, so private. The owners are really nice and helpful.

Michael

Elliw is situated in a lovely setting with fantastic views across Welsh countryside. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and suited our requirements of two en suite bedrooms. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. The hot tub is very spacious and one of the best we have enjoyed after a days sightseeing.

Amazing property, would go back in a heartbeat

Rachel

Brilliant property with stunning views. Really well built lodge. Would be handy if there was a large bin for general waste and possibly a couple of fans for bedrooms over summer months. Other than that we can't fault anything! Will 100 be recommending and hopefully returning. Thank you so much

Enjoyed our stay very much. Extremely relaxing and nice to be in the middle of the countryside with wonderful views. The owners were very nice and always available.

Elaine

The holiday home was absolutely great it was clean, very comfortable and had everything you would have in your own home. It was in a beautiful setting and was very peaceful. It was a perfect base for travelling around visiting the places of interest. We would have stayed longer but it was already booked for the next week.

We had a fantastic stay, the place was spotless, cosy ,and had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable break. The hub tub was a really high light perfect for unwinding and soaking tired mussels after a day out on the trails, all while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. the location was ideal for MTB, with easy accesses to great spots. what really made it special was how helpful and friendly the hosts were they even kindly help us out when with had and issue with our bike rack. It is those thoughtful touches that makes a place stands out. we would stay again and again and we highly recommend it to any one who are looking for a great place to stay. thank you so much we will see you next year!!!!!!!!!!!

Chantelle

We had an amazing time at Elliw. We had a lovely welcome pack upon arrival and a lovely warm lodge to step into. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. We loved waking up the the stunning views and saying hello to all the animals who came up to greet us each day. The hot tub was lovely way to end the evening before cosying up in front of the log burner. We thought a lovely cosy corner sofa would work really well in the space too.. and just elevate the cosy and comfort of the lodge.

Harriet

We had a great stay at Elliw! The property was very comfortable and finished to a high standard with great facilities! We look forward to our next visit!

The property was fantastic with wonderful views and very quiet and relaxing, ... The property was fantastic with wonderful views and very quiet and relaxing, being only the birds and farm animals you can hear when outside it was very well equipped and the furnishings were very nice and homely it was great to relax in the hot tub and very cosy with the log burner on a cold winters evening some shelves in the bathroom would be a great help as there is no where to put your toiletries other than that the property was perfect

Just returned from our short stay at Elliw which provided the perfect retreat after a busy Christmas. The lodge was beautiful and looked just like the photos, spotlessly clean with lovely furnishings and a cosy feeling throughout. The underfloor heating ensured the place kept warm despite the cold winter weather, and the hot tub was bliss to return to each day. Elliw is set in a rural location, on a working farm, with a lovely unspoilt view of the fields. The postcode provided took us straight to the lodge although some of the country roads aren't for the fainthearted! We're so glad we chose Elliw for our 'twixmas' family break we'd recommend it to anyone!
