There are also a number of lovely walks through the pretty countryside as well as four excellent golf courses, a leisure centre, the Mountain Zoo at Colwyn Bay and the Victorian resort of Llandudno – all waiting to be explored.

Famous for its choirs, stunning mountain ranges and beautiful valleys, this wonderful country has something for everyone. From Snowdonia in North Wales to the Brecon Beacons and the Pembrokeshire Coast in the South.

Reviews

Peaceful location, ideal location to tour the area. Host very helpful and friendly. I know your should not watch the clock when away on holiday but it would have been useful - this is just my opinion. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

We stayed at this beautiful cottage for a week this April. We were met on arrival by Sue, who was very welcoming, pointing out areas of interest. The cottage itself was lovely, well presented and clean, everything we needed was there, a real home from home. My favourite room was the conservatory, enjoying breakfast whilst watching the birds.....fab. We would highly recommend this cottage, we will certainly try to stay there again when travelling to this area.

The cottage is a typical old Welsh cottage and was everything we hoped it would be. Very clean and tidy, the conservatory was especially good as was the garden. Cannot fault it, and it was reasonably priced.

This is a fantastic place to stay. The welcome we received from the owner was lovely. The cottage itself is gorgeous, comfortable rooms with everything that you might need. We especially enjoyed sitting in the conservatory overlooking the pretty back garden. There are some great walks in the countryside around the cottage and its easy to get to places of interest. The village pub is just across the road, with a very nice garden too. Highly recommend this place.

This is the second time we have visited this property and we love the quiet location. It is close to friends that we visit and is a good base from which to visit North Wales. The property is easy to find, clean and tidy and we found the conservatory and garden were a very pleasant sun trap. The owner was also there to greet us and gave some helpful recommendations of places to visit. We will definitely use this cottage again.

Rated by Mrs Boardman reviewed on 12th May 2014

The location was very quiet, the village pub which was just across the road was not noisy and we had a very pleasant meal there. The cottage was very comfortable, with plenty of cutlery and crockery. Extra blankets and pillows were available and plenty of clean towels are provided. A very pleasant cottage that we would recommend. We look forward to returning to this cottage in the future.

Rated by Mrs Mckenzie reviewed on 5th April 2014

Spent week staying in cottage and visiting family over Christmas. A lovely, clean, quiet cottage in a beautiful and ancient North Walian village. Fantastic walks and views on your doorstep. Great pub grub 50m away. Well appointed cottage with modern tasteful decor. Marks and Spencer food hall 15 minutes drive. It is a traditionally built 18th Century limestone cottage and despite very thick walls, double glazing and modern radiators it was at times a little slow to warm up. So bring slippers and dressing gowns in winter.

Everything was perfect! It could not have been improved upon. Our home away from home was the best ever, and the owner was fantastic.

Rated by Mrs Harrington reviewed on 28th September 2012

The fact that this was our seventh visit to Pen y Parc really says it all. It has everything you need in a top quality cottage.

Rated by Mr Adams reviewed on 16th September 2012

The owner was so helpful and welcoming when we first arrived. The house was clean and well kept. We had everything we needed for our stay. The conservatory at the rear was a real bonus space. The kids loved the cottage and didn't want to go home at the end of the week. There is however a steep staircase that may not be ideal for people with mobility problems or families with very young children; but our 4 year old coped very well. The location was ideal. There is a quiet pub opposite that serves fantastic down to earth food at a great price. You can leave the front door of the cottage and do a wonderful circular route across the fields that gives you an amazing view of Prestatyn and the coast. It is also well placed to explore everything that this part of Wales has to offer. I didn't realise that there was so much to do! We would love to go back.

Rated by A FlipKey verified reviewer reviewed on 4th July 2012

Stunning location, quiet but convenient to the town. The warm welcome of the owner and the feeling of cleanliness and airiness when we first arrived at the property was much appreciated after a long journey. A very comfortable cottage - the conservatory was a fantastic bonus and a great place to relax.

This was a well equipped cottage full of character we really appreciated the spacious conservatory for meals and playing games etc. I loved the remoteness of the property and the local people were very friendly. The garden was large enough for my children to play in which was important to us. Pretatyn has a very friendly church called Calvary and the people were welcoming and very friendly this made our stay even more special

This cottage is ideally located, as long as you have a vehicle to get around. The countryside is beautiful and the townspeople are friendly. The cottage itself is beautiful - the owner has thought of all the small details and it is truly home away from home. The conservatory is wonder ful place to enjoy a meal, watching birds on the back lawn, or read a book. Stairway is quite steep but perfectly manageable.
