Celyn Reviews

We really enjoyed our stay. The view from the cabin was lovely, despite brown fields from the recent heat waves. We liked having the horses and cows in front of the cabin, we met a shy farm cat, and there were plenty of birds to watch and listen to. The cabin is wellpositioned, providing privacy from the cabin next door. At one point, we contacted the property owner by text to let them know that a light wasn't working. They replied within minutes and when we returned from our day out, the issue was resolved. We were really pleased with their handling of it. Thank you for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
Bonnie
Absolutely beautiful location and everything you could think off needed was left for you and the welcome hamper is such a lovely idea!
Me and my boyfriend had the most amazing stay, it was very clean and had all the amenities you could possibly need. We loved the location of this property also and enjoyed watching the animals! Thank you very much! We will definitely be back
This place was wonderful peaceful and out of the way just what i needed. Great base for days out as well will definitely recommend it.
Rachael
We have just spent 4 nights at celyn to celebrate my birthday and we were not disappointed! The layout of the cabin is excellent with plenty of space and storage. The kitchen area is fully equipped with appliances, equipment and utensils. A lot of thought has clearly been put in, as it even included products such as dishwasher tablets and washing machine pods. The bathroom had ample space and the shower was amazing, the water pressure was excellent. The bedroom was comfortable and cosy with little cubby's either side with plug sockets to charge phones and light switch for over head lights. Outside of the cabin has also been well thought out and although there is another cabin to the right of celyn and the owners house further right over the field, the layout provides enough privacy and space between that it feels secluded. The hot tub was amazing and was nestled between the cabin and the outer walltrees which was extremely peaceful to relax in. On arrival there was a lovely welcome pack and an information pack with instructions for all appliances and contact numbers for owners. As mentioned the owners live over the field but they allow for privacy, we met and had a lovely chat after guests in neighbouring cabin had left which was on our 3rd morning, where it was mentioned that they check on the hot tub chemical levels early in the mornings, we hadn't even noticed! Some reviews had mentioned cats, they do have working cats on the farm so they can come over but they runaway as soon as you move towards them, we had cooked some chicken so one had come over as could smell it we are cat lovers so we were quite happy watching him sniff around, but as we approached him he ran off. They dont hang around too long and they wont come close. We would recommend a stay in cabin celyn to anyone and everyone and will definitely be returning.
A delightful gem of a cottage hidden away but central for exploring North Wales. The idilic views and tranquil setting are must for those who truely want peace and quiet. Although travel to and from main roads was along single track country lanes we only had to reverse a short way to a passing point on a couple of occasions. In all an ideal location with lovely hosts and a memorable holiday had by us.
Rachel
We had such a wonderful time staying at Celyn. The hosts were so friendly, beautiful location, so clean and had everything we needed. Seamless checking in and out and the hot tub was amazing to have. We definitely would love to stay here again.
The cabin and layout is wonderful, located in a secluded spot of the countryside. Seeing the cows and horses was lovely, completing the idealic countryside escape we were looking for. Accommodation was clean and spacious. Peace and tranquility enjoyed during our stay. Not far from key places to visit, and plenty to see and do in the area. Happily recommend to friends and family.
Absolutely loved it here and I will be definitely coming back for another stay

Alanda
The property was perfect, with absolutely amazing views. The lodge was lovely and clean. However, there was a loud scratching noise during the night, around 200300am, which woke us up each night and affected our sleep. This was disappointing and impacted the overall stay.
A wonderful place to stay and relax, highly recommended this to anybody.
This is a fabulous little lodge with wonderful hosts. The under floor heating means it is cosy even in the coldest of conditions, it was 5C on our first night. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchenlounge is well equipped and the shower is easy to set and maintains temperature. Owners were good enough to pick us up from Ruthin when we arrived as it had snowed and we would have struggled to get our car up to the lodge with the road conditions.

Faultless stay. Property spotless, so well thoughtout and equipped with everything you need. Also some great extra touches including a generous welcome hamper and a very helpful information pack. The location itself is so peaceful, and the views are incredible especially from the hot tub!
It's a beautiful property with lots of privacy and a great place to unwind and relax. Real farm animals are fantastic to watch whilst your chilling. We loved our stay the only thing that could have been provided was a fan as it was very hot at night. Hot tub lovely too.
Our weekend was amazing, stunning views, the cabin was beautiful, very clean and modern was the best weekend brake away. The hot tub was perfect. I would highly recommend this place, we will definitely be returning. It was perfect.

We have just returned from a 4 night break at Celyn and we have had a wonderful break. We feel refreshed, and recharged, just upset we couldn't have stayed longer. The cabin is in a beautiful location, nothing but fields and hills to gaze over. The cabin was spotless when we arrived, and I mean spotless! There was a much appreciated welcome basket and even milk in the fridge. The shower is powerful with lovely hot water, and the hot tub is just what you need after a full day exploring. On return, we could not understand why the cabin has not received 5 stars. We have read through, and would like to give our findings to help future bookings. It is mentioned that the lights are too bright. This is often the case in holiday lets as they have to cater for everybody. For many people with eyesight problems, shadows can be troublesome and need good lighting. We used the lamp in the lounge area and the lighting underneath the kitchen cupboards and we found that was perfect for us. Another comment was the small amount of beverage and dishwasher tablets provided. Having stayed in many holiday lets, it is VERY rare that owners provide much at all. Some do leave dishwasher tablets, but again not all. When we visited, Celyn had a bottle of fresh milk in the fridge, tea bags, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper, toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, cleaning equipment, bin bags, Hand wash, Shampoo, Conditioner and body wash. We have NEVER had so much provided by owners in previous stays, anywhere. Someone also mentioned the cats. We did have a visit at the window from a beautiful cat. However, if you went outside it ran away. We guessed it was a working farm cat? Not necessarily the owners cat, it could belong to a neighbouring farm. Cat's do their own thing and them choosing to visit a holiday let is something that could not be avoided by any cat owner. So, if you have allergies or don't like cat's, then maybe you should consider a different property. But, we were not impacted by a cute little face at the window. Another mention was that the headboard was squeaky, we did not experience this at all. The bed was comfortable with crisp white bedlinen. When we first opened the bedroom door we were greeted with the beautiful smell of fresh bedlinen perfect! Another review detailed that the cabin was smaller than expected. The cabin is not huge, but we found it perfect for the two of us. You have lots of room in the open plan kitchendinerlounge. The bathroom is a good size and we thought the shower cubicle was a generous size. You can walk around the bed with ease and there is a good space under the bed to store cases. All in all, we found Celyn exceptional. There has obviously been a lot of thought into the design. It is VERY well equipped, finished to a high standard, and is in an absolutely beautiful location. I hope that this review can reassure anyone wondering whether to book or not. Honestly, you will not be disappointed!

The cabin was amazing we have had a fantastic break! The place was spotless and the hot tub was to die for perfect location to get away from reality and the owners were fantastic and really helpful we will defo be back
We had a wonderful stay. .. it couldn't be better... when it was time to go home we just wanted to continue in this wonderful place... thank you for providing us with some fantastic days...
Had a lovely week here. Nice welcome basket on arrival. The lodge was very clean, with lovely views and perfect for watching the night sky. The only thing we found, only a little thing we could have done with some hooks in the bedroom for dressing gowns. Whilst staying we travelled to walk up Snowdon, had a walk around Brenig reservoir, walked the Jubilee tower circular, Ruthin two river circular and visited the coast. The Hot tub was perfect to relax in, was always clean and maintained it's temperature. We travelled as a group of 3, and made the sofa bed up every day. Whilst it does sleep up to 4, it would definitely suit 2 people more due to storage. We would definitely return if we came back to the area.
Nice and cosy place, privacy spot on, good base for getting about Scenic views are really good
Absolutely lovely cabin, in peaceful surroundings and a lovely hot tub to enjoy all to ourselves. Would have no hesitation in recommending this as a couples retreat, but personally, would struggle with more than two occupants this comment, I know is personal preference. So lovely to open the curtains and see the animals in the field outside. Cabin had everything we needed to make for a really relaxing week.
Absolutely loved our stay! Perfect for a romantic getaway. Quiet and peaceful. Had everything we wanted especially. Hot tub was fab!
Joanne
Absolutely perfect stay just pure peace and tranquility. Fabulous accommodation clean and tidy throughout, highly recommended and the owner was lovely and helpful. Five stars
Michael
This was one of our best family stays. Our two boys loved the place. The welcome package was a lovely touch. We forgot to get butter but my partner messaged the hosts and within half a hour they came to drop some of for us and welcome us to the cabin. The cabin it self is perfect location just so peaceful away from all noise pollution. We sat in the amazing hot tub watching the swallows fly about across the rolling green hills. The first morning we was greeted by the two horses on the farm which came right over to my little boy and let him stroke his head which made his day. Great trip to remind us why we love the Welsh countryside.
Rebecca
Fantastic stay! Everything you could want and more! Spotless and clean in the most beautiful of settings. So peaceful! Love the animals. Had a lovely relaxing few days away in the hills of Wales. Sad to leave! Also the bed is quiet frankly the comfiest I've ever stayed in!
Property was spotless, comfortable, had everything you could need. Wonderful place to stay, we'll definitely return.
Stephen
Fabulous lodge. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. The welcome basket was a lovely touch as well. A peaceful serene location overlooking a field of cows and rolling hillside. Relaxing in the hottub with a beautiful view, amazing. Well located to visit the surrounding area. Just minutes from town yet in the middle of the countryside. The owners didn't bother ys once but were available if needed. Five stars. Will definitely be back again, soon hopefully
