Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests have expressed concerns about cleanliness, mentioning issues such as dust, dirty windows, and sticky cupboards. However, others found the property clean and tidy, leading to a generally positive but not perfect impression.
The location is consistently lauded for its tranquillity, stunning views, and proximity to local attractions. It serves as an excellent base for exploring North Wales and Snowdonia, contributing to a high level of guest satisfaction.
The comfort of the cottage is well-regarded, with guests finding the beds super comfortable and the property cool during heatwaves. Some guests mentioned the ground floor being dark and the third bedroom being small, but overall the comfort level is high.
The facilities, especially the games room, are a highlight for many guests. The property is well-stocked with entertainment options, though some maintenance issues like broken bulbs and a stuck door were noted.
Many guests appreciated the thoughtful welcome gifts and the provision of essentials and extras. While these gifts are well-received, it's important to note that such offerings are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
This is a converted old mill last working in the 1940s, on the edge of the village of Carrog in North Wales, between the towns of Corwen and Llangollen. This is a beautiful cottage with many original features including exposed stone walls and original character beams as well as original slate flagged floors. Set in a great position to explore this wonderful part of the country, Yr Hen Felin is a great place for families or groups of friends. Entering through the stable door takes you into a hallway with space for hanging coats and storing boots. This then leads you through to the open plan living area with a good-sized dining table and seating area. The kitchen is well-equipped, with everything needed for some good home-cooked food, with a shower room leading off this for extra flexibility. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms with a family bathroom also, all with exposed beams and quirky little windows. Further up, on the second floor, is a large games room with everything needed to keep the kids or adults alike occupied. There is a pool table and a piano as well as a 55 television to enjoy, or just relax on the comfy sofas looking out to the views of the countryside. The cottage is just a few minutes walk from the village of Carrog which is home to a friendly pub serving good food where you can sit and dine whilst overlooking the River Dee and the beautiful rolling hills across the valley. The village is also home to a station on the Llangollen Heritage Steam Railway line, so why not step back in time and pop on a steam train to Llangollen, home to a white-water rafting and canoeing centre, an annual Eisteddfod and the World Heritage Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. Alternatively, head to Corwen, a lovely market town with a good selection of shops and pubs. Drive past Corwen to the Rhug Estate and its fabulous organic farm shop and restaurant, or head deeper into Wales to discover Bala Lake, Betws-y-Coed and the whole of the Snowdonia National Park. This is a superb holiday cottage in an excellent location for the outdoor adventurer and is also the perfect destination for those simply seeking a unique, luxury holiday in the heart of North Wales.
Carrog is a pretty village set on the banks of the River Dee which is home to a local pub that serves food, as well the Carrog Bridge which was built in 1660. It is a village in the county of Denbighshire and is surrounded by the Berwyn Mountain range offering spectacular views. The Carrog steam railway station is part of the Llangollen Railway which runs from Corwen to Llangollen.

We felt very much at home, as though we were staying at a friends. The games room was superb and the highlight of the evenings for us after exploring the gorgeous area. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Allison the lady who looks after the property works extremely hard to keep the standards of cleaning to a high level, and takes time to speak to you. Can't praise enough. We will be back.
