Was close to town centre and Aldi
On entering the property straight away there was a strong smell of damp. Walls were dirty and marked. Shower head kept falling down . Towels that were left had stains on and felt damp. Kitchen had no door so everytime we cooked the smoke alarm went off. Skirting boards dirty and chewed. The metal strip ontop of the step going into kitchen was loose and raised causing a few of our group to trip a few times . No Bin bags , no cleaning equipment I.e hoover or dustpan. Paintwork peeling throughout the property. Small fridge instead of tall fridge freezer as shown in pictures . Outside the building was very tired and again paint peeling and when stepping out of front door you are straight onto a main busy road which is not ideal when you have dogs/children. Grill and pan left dirty with what looked like months worth of burnt on grease. Overall not impressed with the property and not happy that we paid over £400 for somewhere that looked like and smelt like student digs

The location was excellent near to the river and Aldi
The hall carpet was soaking wet. No explanation was left as to why this was. It was dangerous because it made you're shoes wet and you were then liable to slip on the kitchen floor.
The shower head was not properly anchored so you had to hold it to have a shower.
There were no grab rails in the shower/bath.
There were no instructions on how to connect to the wifi. We tried to get them via the website chat but got no reply. We had to phone the host twice before we managed tog et the connection parameters.

Had an issue with a broken fridge but the owner rectified as soon as possible. Could have had more towels and toilet rolls available for a four night stay.

Although the property is in a great location, handy for the town, river dee, etc , the interior is in need of a major refurbishment. Straight away, we had trouble with the shower and bath. The shower head slipped down during use, and the bath plug didn't fit properly, causing the water to drain away. The bathroom is in need of a coat of paint at least, and the woodwork looked to have water stains on it. There were black marks down the front door that looked like mould. Even the outside of the property it looking 'tired'. Upon our arrival theres peeling paint every where, and cigarette butts all over the place.
As previously stated by another visitor there's a few steps up and down in the property these should be pointed out better, maybe put hazard tape across them. I happened to drip my coffee on the table, so I dropped the table leaf so I could wipe it . It was thick with dust, so I have no idea when that was last cleaned properly.
I had trouble lighting the cooker, as I use an air fryer etc, I wasn't sure how to turn the oven on. I text the owner and I'm still waiting for a reply nearly a week later.
I wanted to sweep through as I try to leave places as I find them, all that was available was a broom! Not even a dustpan to pick the dirt up. And certainly not a hoover. I ended up having to leave little piles of dirt in the kitchen and front room.
In the passage to the bedroom there's a small step down and a big step down, there's no hazard tape to warn you or even a light, I ended up leaving the front room light on at night.
As you go into the bathroom, there's some skirting that looks as though it's starting to rot, it's splitting and could cause a nasty accident if someone caught their foot on it.
Not happy with all this, any decent owner would offer a partial refund. I paid over £400 for THIS

The cottage was very cold when we arrived as if no one had stayed there for a long time. However there was a fantastic central heating system and we were able to heat up the cottage very quickly.
A minor issue which didn’t really affect us as we didn’t do any cooking but the kitchen was quite small

Everything about this stay was fantastic, only fault to many steps not marked of inside, but definitely would recommend it.
Steps not marked, but did not spoil it.

Location was good.
Beds were comfy.
Cottage was clean.
The shower didn't drain well at all, so you were always standing in a pool of water.
Didn't realise how close the cottage was to the road.

Brilliant location! Aldi and Home Bargains just a few minutes away. Everything you need.

Great location for exploring the area, including Snowdonia. Llangollen is a fabulous little town and we loved the Cornmill pub. Inside the cottage was lovely, clean and very well equipped.
Location of the noticeboard, which included the wi-fi details. Tucked away in the kitchen and not immediately visible.
The outside of the property could do with a coat of paint and a tidy up.

Good sized bedrooms,the kitchen was adequate.the property needed to be cleaner.
The information to get the key from the safe after putting in the keycode was very difficult.
We had to ask next door for assistance who also stated difficulty working it out.
The bed sheets were stained on the double bed that i unfortunately had to sleep in.
The oven door was filthy,cheese was found under the stained sofa cushions.
When paying for accommodation,i expect a similar standard of cleanliness and hygiene that i have at home.On this occassion,those standards were lacking!
Unless there were changes to the cleanliness of this property we would not be staying again,and will advise friends and family of our experience.

The bedrooms and bathroom were a good size. It was only a 5 minute walk into the centre of town. It was nice being close to the river.
The house was located on the busy A5.

Very well refurbished, excellent location
The only minor complaint was a shortage of cleaning materials in kitchen (washing up brush, dishwasher tablets, dishcloth) which may explain why some of crockery and oven tray was dirty on arrival. I would recommend the small garden on side being cleared for use.

All essential facilities available. Comfortable beds. Handy location for town centre and further afield.
Only 1 parking space for the cottage even though the booking information says 2 per cottage.
