Thanks for accepting our last minute booking to allow us to spend Christmas together while visiting my poorly father in the area. The cottage is in a lovely location and was perfect for our needs.

relaxation station.
Perfect hosts, perfect accommodation.
We stayed at Lynn and Franks holiday home for a little over a week. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I am normally quite critical regarding where we stay, but couldn't find any fault. Nice big kitchen / diner. Comfy sofas, comfy bed. What else do you need?
There is a pub 10 mins walk up the road with a small shop as well.. Lovely Sunday roast in the Raven.
There is a small garden at the property with table and chairs with a parasol just in case the sun comes out!
We have already asked about a return visit. As we never go back to the same place twice, I think that says it then.
Thanks to our hosts for an enjoyable stay.
Oh, then there is Angus, their dog which will fetch sticks for as long as you have the strength.to chuck 'em. :)

A fantastic rural cottage in North Wales
I stayed in this wonderful cottage that can sleep 5 people for a week's holiday with my Husband and 2 children. Frank and Lynn are fantastic hosts, extremely welcoming and more than happy to share advice about the area and good places to visit. This was my first visit to North Wales and I loved every minute. The cottage was perfect, cosy, inviting, and exceeded our expectations. The welcome basket was a lovely touch as well, we enjoyed trying the Welsh cakes. The location of the cottage was ideal to explore the wonderful scenery and locations North Wales has to offer. Angus ( the owners dog) was an added bonus and my son had great fun throwing sticks for him. All in all a fantastic cottage and a great holiday with lots of fun memories made. We would definitely stay again as there were lots of places we didn't get the chance to visit. Emma, Dave, Amelia and Oliver

Beautiful Spot
Beautiful setting, quiet, peaceful and perfect for the dog as lots of walks. Village pub and siop lovely. Weather made the stay doubly enjoyable.
Beds were a bit hard and the shower curtain could do with upgrading but otherwise a most enjoyable stay in a stunning part of North Wales.

Gorgeous Cottage
Frank and Lynn’s cottage was perfect for what we needed. We arrived quite late in the evening and on arrival the place was spotless and inviting. After a day of hiking this is an ideal place to relax and unwind. All amenities exceeded our expectations. We’ll hope to be back soon. Thank you! X

Fresh, clean country air
Spacious accommodation, some low beams particularly at the stairwell, but one of our party was 6'6" I believe! Otherwise no problems. Public footpaths nearby for dog walking. We really enjoyed our stay over Christmas, with a tree thoughtfully provided.

Cosy cottage in a peaceful location
A lovely location in walking distance of the village shop and pub. Not too far from the coast for a walk on the beach. Overall a nice cosy cottage however there were a few reasons we could not rate it 5 ☆. The main reason being the double bed is very uncomfortable.

Nice cottage
Nice simple cottage, a short walk from a lovely village (which has a small community-run shop and a community-run pub).
Lovely scenery, and larger towns (Mold, etc) easily accessible by car.

Ideal holiday cottage.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Ty Gylfinir which offers spacious, well-appointed, comfortable accommodation. It has a peaceful, rural location yet is within easy reach by car of shopping and other facilities in nearby towns, while the village with its community shop and pub is within walking distance.
The helpful, friendly owners live just across the road and readily give assistance or advice if required. It was a real bonus to find on arrival a supply of basics (e.g. tea, coffee, bread, milk, etc) in the kitchen plus a lovely vase of flowers - all much appreciated after a long journey.
Ty Gylfinir is a great base for touring all parts of North Wales with its wide variety of places to visit and range of activities on offer. In the dresser drawers in the dining area Frank and Lynn have provided plenty of informative leaflets and booklets on the area. There is so much to see and do - we definitely hope to return and highly recommend this excellent property!

PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT.
We came to the area not knowing what to expect. Its fantastic. The Raven pub was most welcoming.
Frank & Lynn where the perfect hosts giving us lots of advice on the local walks. The cottage suited our needs well. Cosy and warm and even the weather played its part and allowing us to sit in the garden.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning area
A great little find. Excellent set up for us with our dog who could roam freely in the garden. The owner Frank (who lives just across the road) was most helpful with information for walks and places to visit.
Definitely be back

A couple of issues
The cottage was lovely and in a lovely place but there were a couple of problems. There was insufficient cutlery and crockery and the twin beds were not very usable, very rickety and a screw sticking out caused a big gash on a leg

Cozy Countryside Cottage
We enjoyed staying in this cottage in the beautiful Welsh Countryside. We were four adults and there was plenty of room. The living room and bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped. We would advise using Franks’s directions to get to the cottage, and to be sure it is daylight unless you are used to driving in Wales!

Quaint cottage in peaceful surroundings and fantastic location
From the breathtaking views of Snowdonia, to the far reaching North welsh coasts, historic villages and castles, Wales is truly a captivating country. We enjoyed our stay immensely at Frank and Lynn's property - a quaint cottage in peaceful surroundings having all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The property is also ideally located being not more than an hour's away from most of the main attractions in northern Wales as well as close to the historic town of Chester. Not to be missed are Ruthin, Llangollen, Ponty acqueduct and Chirk Castle found close by. Many thanks to Frank who was extremely helpful but never intrusive. The kids will definitely miss Angus the dog, always ready to play around in the garden adjoining the property. Thanks once again.

Great cottage in a lovely village location
Cottage is surprisingly spacious and well laid out inside. All facilities in good working order. Secure garden area is ideal for small children and dog. Short walk to village centre with great pub and local shop. Owners very friendly and helpful. Recommended.

Great cottage in ideal surroundings and location
This holiday cottage was everything and more for our holiday. Clean, spacious and in an ideal location. We were in an ideal place for re-visiting old haunts in North Wales and discovering new places in Denbighshire. We would recommend this beautiful cottage and would love to go back again.

Kids loved it - I need say no more (but I will!)
What a lovely weekend. From the moment we arrived at Frank and Lynn's cottage we felt very welcome, and the fully equipped clean and modern accommodation meant an enjoyable, albeit short stay, in a beautiful location. We arrived late on the Friday night and access to the property was a breeze (although we did drive straight past it first time around!). Once inside there was that instant feel of 'yes, this is nice - we'll be happy here for our little visit'. There was plenty of space, indoors and out, for the four of us (myself and three children), and it all just felt very safe. The location of the cottage meant that we were able to enjoy the glorious sunshine from the moment we woke up until late into the evening, and we took advantage of the numerous games that the kids found in the cupboards (mainly boule!). I would instantly recommend this accommodation to anybody looking in the area, with or without a family. Thank you for having us Frank & family (including Angus the dog!)

Beautiful cottage with stunning scenery.
Nice and secluded, but close enough to towns and villages to get what you need. We have a lovely time and would definitely go again.
