How very disappointing.
As a regular Sykes customer I have never felt so let down. Tucked away in a parkland setting, what a load of rubbish, this property is at the back of a carpark boxed in by an abandoned building surrounded by high brick walls. I will start with the one positive, the bedroom is stunning with a very comfy bed but it is freezing even in August. Note the toilet and shower room is downstairs (as described) though the kitchen at the back of the property As you arrive at the property you enter through a car park which is open to the public for a business situated on the site and an abandoned Spa facility which is fully boarded up. There is building materials in the yard and work vans. There is a space signposted for Dovecote but this is nether private or secure and the sign reads owners leave vehicles at there own risk. You cannot see your car due to the high walls. You enter a very enclosed grey courtyard which stretches along the front of the property which has old walls and faces the gable of the old spa building and the fire door of that building. This is the view from your sofa. The space at the front of the property is shingle with a few scattered plants in pots and stretches the length of the front of the cottage . There is a dirty looking picnic table which has seen better days. We went outside on Saturday evening the sun was blazing but not in the courtyard which is fully enclosed by high walls and the old spa so it was dark and dismal completely shaded by the walls and buildings. On entering the property there is a large sofa which is described as scrumptious, This has been covered with a large fur like throw to hide the ripped leather which has been repaired and the smelly seats. Four tweedy style cushions were on the sofa which smelt of dog and were covered in coarse white dog hairs. I had to remove the cushions immediately as I started to sneeze as soon as I arrived . Into the hall and there are two walk in cupboards one had hangers for clothes but was also filled with old cardboard boxes with toilet seats and other cardboard. The other held a full length mirror and one chest of draws again for clothes which also held the mop bucket, brush and ironing board and smelt of chemical; there is no storage upstairs. We were not prepared to leave our clothes in either cupboard thus we hung our clothes in the corridor on the coat hooks and lived out of our bags Move into the kitchen which was a very thin galley. described as hosting a superb range of appliances. Well there is a toast, microwave and cooker. No tea pot, no coffee pot or maker,. The cooker trays were filthy as were some of the dishes and glasses in the cupboard. The only place to eat was on the worksurface next to the sink and the bathroom, there is no table to eat meals which could easily be fit into the lounge or link corridor, Lastly the bathroom which is right at the end of the property and is a serviceable shower room however the drain was very blocked which we had to clean The description states rear enclosed courtyard with furniture. step outside to bask in alfresco mealtimes. We open the rear/back door which is labelled FIRE EXIT to look at the rear area and to our delight saw a beautiful grass area with trees and a bistro table. However this is not for the Dovecote and there has been a steel fence erected over the fire door exit to prevent any access. This steel fence blocks any exit if there was a fire as you were unable to exit via that door. It was a good job we checked as we would have headed that way in an emergency If there is a fire in the kitchen and you can not pass the cooker you are not getting out. The cottage had reed diffusers everywhere to mask the small of dog and needed a good scrub. I mopped the floors on arrival as i was not happy with the cleanliness and the water was black In all we were so disappointed this cottage, we so needed a break. We work full time and have parents with Dementia and Alzheimer so do not often get to have weekends alone. We ate out each night as we were not prepared to eat on the kitchen counter and all the food we had taken to make nice romantic meals either went out of date or came home with us. I woke on Sunday morning and started to cry, I was so disappointed and just wanted to go home can honestly say i could not wait to leave and if it was not for the fact that we were taking a break from caring responsibilities we would have come straight home.

Yr Hel Felin is a lovely property full of character in a quiet little village but close to bigger villages/towns.
We went during a week of 30+ degree heat and because of the huge thick walls the property was lovely and cool! A nice welcome back was waiting including milk, biscuits and some lovely lemon cakes as well as the tea, coffee, etc in the cupboard. The property also has excellent WiFi throughout which we weren't expecting given its remote nature. Inside the property it's full of original features which make it fascinating. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need, good quality pans, trays, roasting tins, cutlery, cups, etc and a good sound system on the ground floor kitchen/dining area. The beds are super comfy with good quality mattresses and good sized bedrooms. The top floor is where the cottage earns it's extra stars! Electric piano, a guitar, a pool table (even a supply of chalk for the queues) and a good sized TV with an outstanding sound system. Many a game of pool were enjoyed (undefeated, just leave that here so it's immortalised) and a film or two at night. The property also comes with loads of board games, jigsaws, DVDs, blue rays, cds and books. Everything you could wish for! Outside the garden pleasantly surprised us with the size. It's not really one you could have a game of football in but the kids loved running up the stairs, over the top, and down the sloped path. Plus, the top of the garden is lovely and shaded by the trees, with excellent views. The picnic table on the patio is a nice touch and allows you to have a nice meal or drink whilst watching the cows! A children's playground, with a full size football net is about a 5 minute walk away, and a couple of minutes further down the road is The Grouse Inn (award winning pub) and probably the best bit, the River. We spent time in the River, swimming and playing, virtually every day, kids absolutely loved it (and me!). Corwen (6 minute drive) has a well stocked Nisa supermarket and plenty of take aways. Llangollen is a 16 minute drive which has plenty of shops, river activities, horse drawn canal boats and the all important Oggies and Ice Cream! Worth a visit to the stunning aqueduct too!! Loved this place, the area, the locals and will definitely be back in the future.

Lovely interesting property.
Only ânegativesâ were, it was very dark on the ground floor (probably lovely and cool when itâs hot weather though because of the thickness of the walls), to relax in the tv/games room (a wonderful room) means carrying cups of tea etc up and down two flights of stairs all the time and the third childâs bedroom/bunk beds is very small (we didnât need this but note if you do - it is a room for sleeping only, no play room for kids at all!!) BUT - there were a LOT of positives - interesting, plenty of room, comfortable, really well stocked/equipped with all the general bits and bobs for cooking/cleaning etc. plus lots more, lovely situation, nice and quiet, great for dogs being hard floors with rugs on every level, (though we had to be really careful on the stairs as being wood they were very slippery for our two - so we had them on a lead up and down stairs every time), garden not dog secure but nice outlook and had the weather been warm we would have sat out at the table to the rear. Tip - if you have dogs and take them out last thing, youâll need a torch as itâs pitch black outside (and yes, there is a torch in one of the drawers - well equipped again), although we took our own. We will be back in the area within 2 months and would have stayed here again but we need a Saturday to Saturday booking for this next visit which unfortunately would be an astronomical cost for this place as we would be charged for two full weeks as itâs only let Friday to Friday - a bit of flexibility and reasonable pricing would be helpful here!

Finding the cottage was , for me , a little difficult as the roads are narrow , winding and obviously very steep .
This wasn't helped by roadworks in the village and a diversion ,which we was informed of by the owners . I was also told that the post code covers two farms . I did end up at the first one ! Which really knocked my confidence as the road was treacherous to me ! However I did later notice that the name of the farm was at the entrance on the Top road . Tbh it was a very small one as is the one for Hendre cottages which is the next one . Very steep descent from the road , I found really scary to the point I thought thar i would not be able to drive back out . I did and I soon got use to it . The cottage I'd beautiful , clean & cosy . Tge bed very cozy. Couldn't fault the cottage I don't think the storage heaters will suffice on really cold nights. There are lots of leaflets and info in the table drawer although some very out of date . ( a few maps of the local area would have been good for me ) It is an ideal location to take of visiting places , Conwy , Abergele , Llandudno, are within 40 minutes we visited loads of places . Found the fairy Glenn had a wild sw here.. Lots more to explore we ran out of time . I actually enjoyed the driving of the country lanes , hills .. so much so we had s drive onto the moors which was well worth it . The views are stunning ! We didn't want to leave . All in all a fantastic stay . The host even left a chocolate cake for us , Thank You x

On arrival the property oozed character and had a nice touch with some milk and lemon cakes in the fridge alongside tea, coffee, etc in the cupboard.
The cupboard does have some useful other sauces, but also a fair few things well out of date (was tempted to throw but not my place) The property has much of its original features which make it different from the norm, and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need, pans, trays, tins, cutlery, cups, etc. The downstairs show door broke on our 5th day (which was reported and no doubt fixed now) but it didnt stop our stay anyway. The beds are well comfy with good quality mattresses and good sized bedrooms, whilst the top floor is has a lounge area piano, a guitar, a pool table and a good sized TV, alongside loads of board games, jigsaws, DVDs, blue rays, cds and books, great stock. Outside the garden patio is nice with excellent views and steps leading to a top garden part which is really nice to sit down and admire the view. My only negative, which is no fault of the owner, would be the road from the property to Corwen (excellent chippie), very narrow and extremely unkept with regard to craters (pot holes) which actually damaged my low suspensioned car. Llangollen is near also and has plenty of shops, nice little town and gorgeous idyllic views whilst you drive, just wow! Whilst Landudno is a must for the seaside, an hour away but well worth it, my new favourite seaside resort.
