Moel Y Parc Reviews

Nicola
Me and my husband stayed here for the weekend, this was beautiful. A lovely tranquil get away, beautiful views and the owners are just amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, everything was clean and the accommodation was everything we needed. Location is great, not far from the town and supermarkets. Thanks for a lovely weekend we will 100 book again.
Charlotte
We stayed in Moel Y Parc. What an amazingly beautiful little lodge! We arrived later than expected we updated the host Tina along our journey and was greeted at the front of the property when we arrived and she showed us straight to our lodge. Parking was directly outside our lodge with a designated space. We signed up the preheating and relights of the hot tub which was ready to go from arrival. For the hot tub relights we would simply message her a time we wanted it heated for and she could come along and sort that for us. Fantastic host very accommodating and messaged back very quickly. Beautiful little lodge with everything you could need inside we were presently suprised there were food essentials ready to use bread, milk, teacoffee, milk, butter, jamhoney, shortbread biscuits, crisps, ice ready to go in the freezer there was even 2 hot chocolate mugs with marshmellows and gingerbread. This meant as we arrived later on in the evening we had something to eat and drink on arrival if we wished. Breakfasts were available to order by text message as well as desserts at the evening although we didn't use these ourselves only being there 3 nights but, another fantastic option to have. We were provided with plenty of information leaflets about the accommodation and surrounding areas to visit. The local town was only a few mins drive making it ideal. We were able to log into our own neflix on the tv which is on an adjustable arm to be able to watch from both the bed and living area. We would definitely recommend! Gorgeous little lodge, beautiful scenery and very friendly and welcoming hosts. We will definitely be returning for another stay in the future. Thank You for a brilliant stay!
We enjoyed every minute of the stay. The host's were friendly and accommodating, whatever we needed they were on hand to do so in a quick manner. The hut was amazing, the views were stunning and the whole atmosphere was very peaceful, just what the doctor ordered. I would definitely highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to do glamping. The only downfall we have to say, was, the pricing for the hot tub i.e logs and lighting, as we assumed would be in the pricing of the holiday and we couldn't do it ourselves. All in all, it was a beautiful stay.
Our hosts were amazing, the shepherds hut was very clean and tiy we were shown around upon arrival and then left to it! The hot tub was amazing and we used the bbq in the evenings for dinner with the company of the cows in the field next us, overall it was a lovely stay and we will be back again soon
Natalie
Would definitely recommend, it is in such a lovely location and the hut has been done out to a very high standard, the hot tub was a lovely treat at the end of each day. Wonderful welcome from Tina, nothing was too much trouble and the little extras for the welcome package were a real treat. Hoping to return soon!
Hermione
Everything was so perfect and looked exactly like the pictures. The owners were so lovely aswell and our stay was so comfortable
Our short stay was absolutely perfect. Both Tina and Alan were very polite and welcoming upon our arrival and introduced us to our accommodation and the services they provide. The accommodation was spotless clean, tidy, organised and spacious. It was clear to see they really take pride in what they do and provide. Due to our inexperience with wood fired hot tubs, the ability to be able to contact the host to prewarm the tub even ready for our return from our ventures was ideal as it added the extra relaxation to the trip we needed. Our stay included a special day for myself and my partner and I couldn't ask for a better place to have spent it. I would highly recommend an visit Moel Y Parc as we will certainly return should we wish to explore the scenic Northern Wales again.
Amanda
What can we say. Just perfect, such an amazing place. The shepherd hut was bigger than we imagined, imacculate inside and out, every attention to detail. The bed is very comfortable, facilities great, loverly bathroom area very roomy. Tina was a wonderful host, and nothing too much trouble. Wasn't expecting extras, fresh produce in the hut and snacks, a lovely touch. Bathroom all you needed 5 . Outside area spotless,very well maintained lovely private area to sit and relax, hot tub so clean.lovely views over fields. Well worth a visit. Highly recommended!!! Thank you Tina and Alun you have an amazing place. Amanda & Steve
The property is set in a secluded beautiful location On arrival was meet by Tina the host . A lovely warm welcome showing us to the accommodation explaining she would be on hand if we needed her . Having already lit the burner to hot tub provided so was ready to use on arrival. Tinas attention to her guests is first class and on settling into the accommodation quickly realised that our host had thought of everything you might need a luxury welcome pack of local products, dressing gowns , skippers etc ., more towels than Ive ever seen in one place . Excellent attention to detail , which clearly shows in the finish of the accommodation. Would highly recommend
Darren
Weve just returned from what i can say was a fantastic 4 night stay. The hut we stayed in was just 10 out of 10 perfection so clean with plenty of room.Tina the host even left us little treats like bread,Welsh cakes,chocolates & milk in the fridge. Its location on the site was just blissfull so peaceful with beautiful views and a great hot tub to relax in under the stars. We were very welcomed from the moment we arrived by Tina & her husband Alun who couldnt do enough for you and nothing was too much trouble. We are already planning our return trip to this beautiful place and we cannot wait to return. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here you wouldnt be disappointed. Thanks again to Tina & Alun.
Hannah
What can we say, we absolutely loved our stay! Nothing was too much trouble and Tina was on hand whenever needed. 1000 recommend this stay to anyone!
