Maestyddyn Farm House Reviews

The cottage was everything and more very happy with our stay very warm cosy hot ... The cottage was everything and more very happy with our stay very warm cosy hot tubes were great very comfortable beds every u could need in the kitchen and the owner Errol was vey helpful even giving us a lift from the pub 3 miles away will stay here again
We had a great weekend celebrating a 60th Birthday! The house is so spacious and in a peaceful area even though its a working farm Eryl was very friendly and came straight over when we had a little problem. We cant wait to return.
Jacqueline
Absolutely fantastic space for a family celebration with something to keep everyone happy. We stayed to celebrate my mums 90th Birthday & she loved it. The bedrooms are spacious & everyone commented on how comfy the beds were , so much so that my 14yr old grandson went back to bed for an extra hour. On arrival we were welcomed by Eryl, which was a nice touch, as was the selection of Welsh treats in the fridge. The farmhouse was lovely & warm & the kitchen extremely well equipped. Everyone enjoyed the outside space & the younger ones loved seeing the farm animals so close. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend Eryls fabulous farmhouse for a getaway & a trip into Ruthin is not a disappointment. Would love to come back again
Jillian
On approach to the farm house it was just as advertised. Very warm and clean when we arrived . There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out if they wanted to but also enough room to have time together in one place . The dining room was lovely and big for us all to eat as a family a group of 17 . The owner was very good in communication and kept us informed of the weather as it had snowed the day before we arrived and also said if the snow was still there sledges were there for us to use , unfortunately it had nearly all gone once there . One of our party did mention to our group that at times the smell was very strong , didnt bother everyone , so just a reminder it is a working farm and some things smell are unavoidable. There was a great field at the back of the farm house set aside for dogs and there owners where they can go for a run in a secure place . We used one of the hot tubs had a great few hrs in there , did feel the chlorine was very strong so maybe not suitable for children . All in all a fantastic 4 nights stay and Thankyou Eryl for the use of the farm house
Loved our girly weekend at the farmhouse it was perfect for us. We were celebrating a 50th birthday and we had the best weekend
We loved our stay at the farm house. Brilliant facilities for a great family holiday.
Absolutely perfect for our family gathering. Comfy beds, all en suites, well equipped, great dining space, hot tub and games for the children.
Everything was perfect. Friendly welcome from Mr Williams along with a welcome pack of Welsh goodies. Suited all ages in our party. Will definitely be back.
Steven
Hi house is lovely but a few niggles, non stick on the frying pans has worn away, door handles coming off and towel rails missing also the outside near the hot tubs could do with a jet washing and the pizza ovenbarbecue changing or removing. Great suggestion on the pub nearby for Sunday lunch. Last but not least tips on the pool cues and chalk, like I said just a few niggles
Geoffrey
It is an excellent farm for a large group, with lots of facilities and very well stocked in the kitchen and elsewhere. Interesting being on an active farm and friendly farmers.
Matthew
Thank you for the great stay everyone loved it and it was prefect for what we wanted, a stag do. Lovely and spacious and all room having ensuites was great and made life easy for everyone.
Michael
Fab weekend. The ensuites are definitely a bonus. Would definitely stay here again!
Michelle
Beautiful stay, beautiful place. House is perfectly imperfect! Not so polished that youre afraid to let the kids do their thing but polished enough to make sure you have a lovely stay. Everything you could need for your trip. Kitchen has 2 cookers and everything you could need to prepare a feast. 2 big fridge freezers so plenty of room to store the essentials. A very enjoyable stay for us would definitely visit again
Estelle
Our stay at Maestyddyn farm house was excellent. The farmer came down to the house to welcome us which was great. The house is well located and the space is absolutely fantastic. The photos on the listing are great but in person the house is so much bigger than we imagined. Plenty of space for large groups and well equipped and maintained. Thanks again.
Our family had a great stay at the farmhouse which was super dog friendly. Everything was as advertised and Mr Williams was excellent with great communication and a friendly handshake on arrival which made us feel at home as soon as we got there. The location is also excellent to explore both on foot and in the car and we visited some lovely places while we were on our stay . I would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation to anyone whos looking for a large farmhouse set in the most beautiful Welsh countryside.
Lovely house with stunning views, dog friendly. Great mini break. Thank you
Lovely barn conversion. Had everything and more we could possibly want. Full family get together for a 60th birthday and ages from 1 up to 60 and everyone had a wonderful time. Our host was great, we will definately be back.
Andrew
Excellent property in beautiful location. Friendly helpful and welcoming owner. A brilliant base foe relaxing and exploring
Stuart
We had a great 3 night weekend stay to celebrate an 80th birthday, 14 guests and 1 dog. Eryl is a great host and lives close by in the farm. The house is as expected and ideal for our needs, with plenty of space for everyone. Some minor maintenance issues required attention, but nothing important. There is a nice walk possible from the house, about 7 miles long. Follow the bridleway to the village and then turn left up into the forrest, this circles back onto driveway to the house. We had a nice meal at the local pub, with free round of drinks on Eryl, thanks again Eryl for the kind welcome and round of drinks at the pub. Stuart & family.
Debbie
We've just spent a fabulous weekend at Maestyddyn Farm House. It comfortably accommodated our party of 12 adults and 4 dogs, and provided the ideal setting for us to celebrate our gettogether enjoying the BBQ, hot tubs, and games room whilst also being able to take walks in the forest and the hillsides near by.
Lovely house and amenities. Games room, arcade and Hot tubs were a big hit with the children! Host Eryl was fantastic, checking in with us and answering any questions in a timely manner. We also had 2 lovely meals down at the community pub recommended by Eryl, with a great welcome from all involved! Thanks again
Michelle
This is a beautiful farmhouse that was perfect for our large group. Secluded so we wasnt worrying about disturbing anyone and was well equipped throughout the property, the owner was very friendly and has a pub approx 2 miles away which does a lovely Sunday lunch, The only critism is there are lots of bugs so for us town folk we are not used to that. It would benefit from some bug catchersrepellent in the outdoor patio and kitchen but otherwise this is perfect. We will definitely be returning and will pack citronella candles and big catchers next time to make our trip even better. Would definitely recommend this property.
Recently stayed in Eryl's fabulous farmhouse for my wife's surprise 60th. There was more than enough space for the whole family, plus a couple of friends. Bedrooms were comfy and spacious and the kitchen had everything that we needed for the week. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and very tasty. Outside, we made full use of both spa pools and the sauna. The games room was the venue for some fierce inter family rivalry. All in all, I would highly reccommend this cottage to any large group. Eryl is a lovely host, perfectly balancing being helpful and non intrusive. Thanks again for a wonderful stay
Lovely cottage which suited our family with ages ranging from 87 to 1.
Very beautiful location on working farm 16 of us stayed plenty of room bedrooms ... Very beautiful location on working farm 16 of us stayed plenty of room bedrooms a good size hottub used al the time outside area a plus kids played in the games room and on the video machine great addition beautiful views in field where you walk dog's owner very welcoming had a great stay
We had a wonderful time. There were 13 adults & 3 children & 2 dogs. We can recommend football golf at Dyffryn Clwyd Sports Centre, beautiful walks & the visitor centre at Llyn Brenig. The only negative comments but no problem, the beds were not set out as I requested, all doubles & only 3 singles. One family room was double sofa bed & cot not as advertised. We had 8 single young people. The step on way to ground toilet is lethal & should be taped. Hook needed for towel in ground floor toilet. Microwave didnt have instructions. As I mentioned earlier, we had a wonderful time. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Massive house Very friendly owner Would book again
This was a great cottage for our party of 13 and 3 dogs. The place was huge and we all had plenty of space. Facilities were great, the hot tubs and sauna were a great addition, and everyone enjoyed the old style video games. The cottage was really clean and comfortable, and the enclosed dog field outside was perfect for the dogs. Eryl, the owner, was very helpful and we enjoyed our drinks at the local community pub. We would definitely return as it is a perfect space for a large group.
Wonderful cottage had everything we needed and more, the games room and hot tubs were well used! Really cozy with the underfloor heating. Lovely location quiet and peaceful, we can't wait to go back .
The owner was fantastic he came over when we arrived and had a little chat ... The owner was fantastic he came over when we arrived and had a little chat super friendly the cottage is huge we kept getting lost and going up the wrong set of stairs to the bedrooms, the underfloor heating was superb the games room was loved by everyone the hot tubs were a firm favourite for the majority of the group and the private frields were perfect for our furry friends, I am only 5ft 5 and my ground floor bed was so high but when I managed to climb on, I had the best night sleep there are beautiful cows directly facing the front door which the owner said he was allowed to go over and see them so lovely There is also a fantastic pub down the road The Glan Llyn which was great we were disappointed that we had brought sunday dinner ingredients with us because the roast dinners looked amazing We will be back to this cottage 100
A terrific base for our group of 50 odd year old couples. Staff ere really friendly and happy to offer local advice. The free round of drinks at the local community pub good food and shop there as well was almost as well received as the facilities inc 2 hot tubs and a high quality games roomarcade machine If there wasnt a million other places to visit in the uk, wed definitely be back! Thank yoy
Elaine
What an amazing property! Pictures dont do it justice. It was fantastic to be away from all the busy stress of life and enjoy some quality time with friends. The hot tubs and sauna were awesome, and definitely helped to make our trip. The dogs absolutely loved the field! Thanks Eryl for your hospitality during our stay. We also really recommend eating at the local pub The Glan Lyn Inn fantastic food and service, plus a great little community shop next door. Beautiful surroundings and peacewhat more could we want!
A very well equipped, clean cottage overall. Our family of 12 adults loved the space and facilities. The two hots tubs were ideal for a large party and very clean. Games room is a great addition and kept us busy for hours. The owner Mr Williams is very friendly and made sure we had settled in and all was well with our stay. I would definitely recommend and we are looking to return in the future.
Christal
We had a fabulous week at the farm house, this was an ideal house to bring our family, with so much room not to be on top of each other, plenty of games and things to do to suit everyone at the house, with tournaments all week on the original games machine. It is well equipped and very comfortable but also plenty to do in the area with walks from the house. The local community pub serves good food. We hope to be back to the house in the future. Big thanks to our host, Errol who caught up with us through the week to ensure everything was OK.
Wonderful holiday home. Had 13 members of family, from 83 to 4 years old. Loads of space and equipment for all. Helpful owner and welcome pack. Bit remote on working farm, but positives outway downside. Only one issue, had to empty 1 jacuzzi due to scum. Filters were V old and full of goo. Wish we had done 2nd, might be filled with clean water, but needs to be scrubbed and filters changed.
We had a great time at the farmhouse, we were a group of 12 aged from 81 down to 3. We found it very comfortable and lots of space for us all. The facilities were well thought out and of high standard, one of the better holiday homes we have stayed at. Would recommend it highly.
This place is amazing 17 of us went for my 70th birthday aged 15 to 70! Had a couple small issues that were soon solved by the owner..it was spotless when we arrived and equipped with everything u could possibly need. The games room was well used as were the hot tubs..we had mixed weather so the outside area was a godsend..when we wernt off exploring we were outside bbqing or playing games or hot tubbing..would definitely recommend...just 1 small thing it says there is outside parking for 5 cars but we took 7 and there was plenty of room for more!!!!
The home owner was a very friendly and helpful person. He left a welcome hamper in the fridge full of Welsh goodies, the best one weve ever had. We took a paddling pool for our younger members which we first filled with hot water from the outside tap and then cold water from the tap next to it, never had that before either. Brilliant facility. The games room was well used. The arcade table was also brilliant. The bbq was a total hit so much so our son wanted to buy it! The children were fascinated by the farm machinery and the farm work going on around us another added bonus. What stops it being a 5 star is the one hot tub which we used, near the sauna, had not been cleaned before our arrival as stated in the listing. Some of the showers were cobwebbed and mouldy. I know Mr Williams would expect his cleaning team to ensure this work is done. One of the drinks fridges was not working, which for a large party of 17 was a bit of an inconvenience. The men discovered it was a loose connection but obviously a qualified electrician needs to sort that. The outside door nearest the kitchen was not easy to lock so maybe notes about its quirk of the key being in the right position might be useful. We class these as minor adjustments to be addressed and they wouldnt stop us booking the farm again. We relaxed, we visited places and we enjoyed the time and space that the farmhouse gave us as a family. Thank you, Mr Williams.
et Dorothy
This is a great place to stay the house is comfortable and the outdoor covered area with the hot tubs and the two acre dog field made this a very enjoyable visit. The owner could not be more helpful and immediately resolved any issues.
On the whole we had a fabulous time with lots of laughs. However i would say it needs a little TLC throughout the house and a better description on where the games room is situated.
