Daron Large Country Cottage

Plenty of room for seven guests. Quiet location. Parking for two cars. Two bathrooms - one with a bath and one with a shower. Large kitchen with table for dining. Three sofas in lounge. Large TV and TVs in two of the bedrooms.

The property is much in need of a refresh. The decor is tired and the walls and paintwork are scruffy. This didn't matter much to us but the cottage was also not clean. The downstairs carpet was badly stained and covered in animal hairs, the sofas smelt of dog and there were cracked tiles in the kitchen with mould. There were unwashed baking trays in the oven and we felt the need to wash the crockery and utensils before we used them. There was no door on the shower which resulted in water on the floor making it slippery and the cottage had an unpleasant smell when we arrived. In addition to all of this, when we returned to the property on the evening of our first full day the electricity was off. We tried to contact the owner via every method available after ascertaining that it was just our property involved but didn't have a reply until after we had left the next day. It turned out that the meter was a prepayment one that the owner has to top up online and this hadn't been done! Luckily, my husband was agile enough to stand on a chair to find the meter box and knew enough about electricity to be able to access an emergency top-up of £10. It was a good job we were not elderly and unable to clamber on chairs because we had no help from the owner. This all meant that we had a late meal and couldn't have the hot showers we were looking forward to after returning from our day walking. When the owner did contact us, they said that the meter had been topped up but there was obviously a gap between it running out and that happening. As we could see the smart meter, this clearly wasn't so as all that was showing was the emergency top-up.

There was everything from a dog bed for the dog and as we traveled with our granddaughter there was even a bib in the draw they got it catered for everyone .I’ve booked again to stay

Amazing value for money Spacious house Not far from busy spots in wales Perfect for hosting Peaceful getaway

The house was perfect for a family gathering with adaptable accomodation and seating for 8 around the kitchen table. It was warm and comfortable with good WiFi and TV as well as a safe rear garden. There is a pub and village shop within walking distance. 20 minutes drive to Abergele supermarket and A55 but definitely a peaceful village edge/country location,

The house was really big and in a good location.

The housekeeping staff was rude, disrespectful, and ignorant towards our issues. The house was not clean enough with spiders and other such insects in multiple areas of the house. As soon as we entered, we could see cobwebs at the front of the house, in the kitchen cabinets, and spiders moving all over the place, when asked for help, I did not get a response from the owner until few hours before we were due to checkout. The checkout time was 11am, and we left at 11:15am due to a medical emergency that needed some attention. When explained to the housekeeper, she did not even care enough to give us a few minutes, instead started taunting us by saying that we should have left before, and it's disturbing them to clean the house. Honestly this was just very disappointing and ruined one of my most anticipated trips with my parents.

In the right area for going sight seeing

There was nothing to dislike

Lovely place great location

Could of done with locks on the bathrooms

Lovely spacious clean house in a great location .More room than expected ,so good value for money.

A few things broken like shower holder,wardrobe door handles, bed knob had been snapped off and dog poo in the back garden,but didn't affect our stay and could all be fixed in an hour. Told the cleaners who were coming in as we left and they were very nice and explained it was all about to be repaired

A cosy warm house in a lovely place .with lots of walks,a nice little village,,friendly neighbours, peaceful location, comfortable beds, the granddaughters thought it was the best place they have stayed at great for the dogs ,great gardens front and back just lovely

No complaints really just that the village shop closes early so quite a drive if you don't happen to take milk with you ,
