Kerry Cottage receives high praise for its modern amenities, comfortable furnishings, and excellent location near the beach. Guests appreciate the secure garden for pets, the reliable Wi-Fi, and the peaceful surroundings despite the proximity to a caravan park. The host's helpfulness and the added convenience of a hot tub are frequently mentioned. While most feedback is positive, a few guests noted minor issues with maintenance and local dining options.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as clean and well-presented. The provision of soft linen and plenty of towels is noted, and the hot tub is maintained daily. There are no significant complaints about cleanliness, indicating high standards are met.
The cottage's proximity to the beach and its peaceful setting in a quiet neighbourhood are highly valued by guests. The location is deemed great for dog walks and is within a reasonable distance to various attractions, although some guests found the nearby towns a bit run down.
Comfort is a strong point for Kerry Cottage, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the property spacious enough for large groups without feeling crowded. The modern furnishings contribute to the overall comfort, though one guest mentioned a sloped ceiling causing minor inconvenience.
The cottage is praised for its modern facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen, smart TV, and Wi-Fi with a convenient QR code for access. However, some guests suggested improvements such as additional kitchenware and an information booklet, and one mentioned an issue with the hob.
While guests have expressed gratitude for the host's helpfulness and the occasional mention of a welcome bottle of wine and dog treats, there is not enough consistent information across reviews to accurately assess the level of thoughtfulness as a standard offering.
About this property
Enjoying a fantastic location in the village of Talacre, nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac with easy access to the beach, is this contemporary property, Kerry Cottage. Finished to an excellent standard with off-road parking, spacious living areas and an enclosed rear garden, Kerry Cottage invites families for a first-class holiday to North Wales. After parking up directly outside the front door, head inside and walk through the open-plan living space. Immediately you will be drawn to the bi-fold doors that fill the space with natural light, looking into the spacious enclosed garden. The chef amongst the group can take over the striking kitchen, fitted with a host of integrated appliances that is sure to inspire home-cooking, whilst the rest of the group can sit at the breakfast bar and begin planning the holiday agenda. After serving a tasty dinner, move over to the leather reclining sofa and take advantage of the wall-mounted Smart TV for your evening entertainment. On those balmy days, throw open the bi-fold doors to access the garden, from which you enjoy a drink at the patio furniture, top up your tan on the sun loungers or enjoy a soak in the lazy-spa hot tub. As the night grows dark, choose from four inviting bedrooms to lay your rest; on the ground-floor there is a bunk room for children and a king-size double room with Jack-and-Jill access to a shower room, perfect for those with limited mobility. Climb the open tread staircase to reach the first-floor; on the left lies a super-king-size room with zip/link beds, offering flexibility as twins on request, whilst across the landing is the spacious master with super-king-size bed and a Juliette balcony overlooking the garden. Serving these bedrooms is a contemporary bathroom with bath and hand-held shower attachment. When you’re ready to break away from this luxury abode, there is access onto the nature trail and sand dunes leading to the popular Talacre beach; enjoy fun-filled days here with all the family, including your pooch! Wander this large expanse of sand and spot the Point of Ayr lighthouse or venture along the Dee Coastal Path that leads all the way to Prestatyn, offering further sandy beaches and a choice of shops, pubs, and restaurants. On your return, stop off for dinner at the local Point Restaurant or enjoy a pint in the beer garden at the Lighthouse Inn. For a holiday to North Wales to remember, look no further than Kerry Cottage.
Talacre, a picture-perfect village, is located in Flintshire on Wales' north coast. The community, which is located just across the River Dee from the Wirral and the English/Welsh border, is well-known for its well-known beach. This dog-friendly beach offers plenty of space for tourists and kilometres of golden sand backed by dunes. You might even have the beach to yourself! The 1776 Point of Ayr Lighthouse is Talacre's most prominent landmark. There are two bars in the village, the well-known Point Bar & Restaurant and the Lighthouse Inn, as well as a post office with basic necessities. A Site of Special Scientific Interest (sssi) with an rspb reserve, the area around the beach, Gronant Dunes, and Talacre Warren is home to uncommon species such the natterjack toad, while the neighbouring Dee Estuary is a haven for wintering birds.

The only let down for us was the shower. Water went from cool to scolding with tiny adjustments such so we didnât let the kids use it, also the door was difficult to open and probably needs replacing. That being the only downside as the rest of the property was really well thought out and a well equipped kitchen was so helpful.

Mod cons galore. Upstairs bedroom with balcony is simply gorgeous. Plush carpets and lovely bathrooms. Huge amount of cupboard space. Great garden, nice and secure for dogs. Lovely quiet neighbourhood. Perfectly situated for beach and dunes. Absolutely recommend this property. Only a couple of niggles if I'm being picky. Instruction booklet for appliances, heating, etc including local information and recommendations would be useful and also feels welcoming. Perhaps even a welcome basket which most properties now provide. Dish cloth, wooden spoon, another couple of pans perhaps. Cushions on sofa, but all in all a wonderful place.

Hot tub was great for all ages. Very good garden for the dogs & the beach was beautiful, especially at sunset. No information pack provided by owners apart from a few outdated leaflets & no welcome pack on arrival Could do with a new mattress downstairs on the double bed, need a new peeler & the hob would not work with the biggest pan. Otherwise well equipped. Talacre & the towns around were a little run down & attractions were closed as soon as the school holidays were over . Llandudno & Conwy are very nice & not too far away. Lovely beach at Prestatyn.
