Rhuddlan Retreat by the River

I liked the area it was close to the beach and shopping arena. The host was friendly and greeted us warmly. Driveway that can fit 2 cars House is fully stocked with towels, hairdryer, laundry area, kitchen had all the cutlery, pots and pans you need quiet area at night. nice residential area with golf course very close by Downstairs open and spacious- felt like a home away from home Good value for money- close enough for 20min to 1 hour drive to nearby beaches, Zip World and Snowdonia National park My dog felt comfortable in the garden and house Honestly I can see the potential and would return once a few things are fixed.

Few essential things missing in the house like washlets in sinks and hole in master room en suite bathroom covered with a rolled up towel 2nd ensuite bathroom requires a bit of TLC Unfortunately there were no blinds at the back of the property on ground floor so hard to use communal areas at night as it lacked privacy House needs a number on the front to make it easier to recognise the property There was a £30 charge for dog fees (1 night stay) Clothes/ Gaming console etc left in bedrooms closets from other guests/owners (not an issue for us as we only stayed one night but may be if staying for longer periods of time)

Weymouth travelled from south Wales to north Wales for a charity event called THE WELSH 400. the meeting venue was only 10mins walk from the house.

N/A

. We enjoyed our stay at Retreat By the River and would definitely return. The house is lovely and in a great location for sightseeing and visiting local beaches. We had plenty of room as a family group of three adults and two children and the property was well equipped -the children especialy loved the games table, which was a nice bonus! The owners were also helpful in responding to queries.

Minor issues-e.g. blinds which owner is rectifying anyway

Lots of room. Excellent parking for our bikes.

The house was beautiful located in a lovely little cul-de-sac. The house was a decent size and the decor was lovely. Everything we needed in the kitchen to cook etc. beds were comfy. The owner was present on arrival and was very welcoming and pleasant. He’d been to B&Q to purchase garden furniture for us as it was going to be nice, unfortunately the weather wasn’t really warm enough to sit out but we appreciated the gesture.

House very run down. Lots of repairs necessary. Decking should be ripped up, past repair if you ask us. The owner said it was ear marked for repair and only to use the bit by the kitchen but we didn’t want to go anywhere near it as it was so bad. Door handles coming off in hands. Doors not shutting (main bedroom and the lounge). My Dad had to put a cushion against his bedroom door to keep the door shut and the shower screen leaked so the bathroom flooded when he had a shower, guessing this is what the wet/damp stain was on the ceiling of the lounge. My nephew got stuck in the en-suite shower of the other room as did my brother. My daughter and myself got stuck in the main bathroom as problems with door handles coming off. The dining chairs were very rickety and we were scared to sit on most of them. No blinds up in any of the downstairs rooms at the back of the property caused issues. We had to put things up at the window to watch the tv without the sun glaring on the screen, we had to sit with sunglasses on in the kitchen as it was very sunny. I have never been asked to pay an additional amount for bringing my dogs. The female owner asked me to pay £50 which I did, the male owner said they charge £20 per dog which surely should have only been £40??! This is also the first house where we have never had anything complimentary like a bottle of fizz or anything. Missing little touches like that. Definitely not worth the amount that we paid, especially with the additional £50 charge for the dogs. Very overpriced for the state of repair the house is in. This weekend was for my dad’s 70th birthday getaway and it’s a shame that we experienced so many issues which put a bit of a dampener on the weekend and affected a really good weekend. I’ve never left a bad review on any of the properties we have visited since using booking.

Absolutely lovely place to stay, everything you need for a perfect getaway, literally home from home, luxury home that is, will definitely be booking again

Everything

It was spacious, relatively clean, with lots of mod cons. For the price it is very reasonable and a comfortable stay. The shower in the newly refurbished ensuite is lovely and the beds are super comfortable. A really easy check-in/out process.

Some of the property needs a little TLC, nothing that would put me off staying again but noticeable with the tech available and the quality of the one ensuite bathroom. I also feel a few basic provisions, such as tea/coffee/sugar could elevate the stay. If the obvious DIY jobs were actioned, I’d happily pay a little more for the stay.
