Rhianwen Reviews

Have a lovely chilled weekend with family in this rural cottage. Owner was attentive and informative. Will book again
Claire
We had the best week in Plas Moelfre Hall Farm. Lowri was a wonderful host and the cottage was fantastic, it had everything you needed and more! There was a lovely walk on your doorstep and a pub nearby. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to return one day.
This property was a perfect destination for friends to get together. The beds were very comfortable. It was spotless and had everything we needed to cook evening meals and breakfasts. We made the most of the Hot Tub, which was ready to use on arrival. The log burner made us cosy. Very quiet and dark at night, good for star gazing. Walks from the door. Nice pub close by.
Fabulous place to stay at Great views, comfortable beds and a cosy cottage that provided the ideal environment for our family get together. The hot tub was lovely even in the cold weather and great fun had playing table tennis. Would definitely recommend.
Rhianwen is a delightful barn conversion in the prettiest of areas. The rooms are airy and beautifully decorated, and contain everything you could need for a break away. The owners were so helpful throughout our stay, and their kind welcome gesture of milk, Welsh cakes and eggs was well received. The distinct Welsh theme that permeated every room was lovely, in particular the Welsh tapestry items. The hot tub was a perfect way to unwind after touring the area, and the mountain behind the property was a great challenge with stunning views to enjoy. The detailed handbook left by the hosts had a wealth of information that we found most useful. All in all, this was a fantastic break for us as a family, and we will definitely be back! You will not be disappointed if you atay at Rhianwen!
Absolutely perfect for a peaceful holiday. beautiful scenery property is well kept and comfortable, the jacuzzi is spotless and clean, and if you fancy a game of darts or table tennis there is a separate building on the property for this. The garden and driveway is spacious and enclosed. Our dog loved this. We will be booking again and meeting up with our family who live in wales.
We have had a lovely time staying at Rhianwen, owners Lowrie and Gwyn were very friendly and extremely helpful in making sure we enjoyed our stay. Our son and daughterinlaw and two year old grandson joined us and they loved it too, especially the hot tub and barbecue and outside seating area! Very comfortable beds, ensuite bathrooms, and lovely views, surrounded by beautiful countryside. We were very impressed with the Wynnstay Inn in Llansilin, and the tea room and waterfall at Pistyll Rhaeadr. We also visited Lake Vyrnwy and Bala where we had a ride along the lake on Alice the little Welsh engine! Would definitely visit again.

Joshua
We had an amazing stay at Rhianwen after staying at the neighbouring Cut Moch last year. The area is absolutely amazing and we will definitely be back again. We had an issue with some noise from building work going on, but Lowri did everything that she could to help lovely owners. I couldnt recommend this place enough
Andrea
What a wonderful place! The property was perfect for us. The ensuites for every room are a real plus and something weve not encountered elsewhere. The owners were welcoming and helpful in providing any extras we needed. I would highly recommend this location and we will definitely be back.
Hayley
We had a fantastic stay. The cottage was impeccable and decorated to a very high standard. Thank you !
Our party included 3 couples and 1 big pup. We stayed at Plas Moelfre Hall Barn to bring in the new year and it was a perfect relaxing getaway. Had all the things you could possibly need and so well equipped. The barn retained heat very well which was important to us as we visited during mid winter. The scenery around the property is amazing, we even managed to see the end of the northern lights as the owners were kind enough to message us and let us know they were visible outside. We saw some reviews saying the garden wasnt secure for doggos however we had no issues with our big doggo escaping and the walk trail behind the property was perfect for him. Although the property is in a very remote location and in extreme weather it can be difficult getting to supermarkets due to the narrow roads, home delivery shopping through Just Eat was still available so this wasnt an issue at all. Shower pressure was great and the beds were very comfy. The only thing I would suggest is the TV is a little high whereas the sofas are very low, however this was barely an issues because the property had so many other facilities which kept us busy! Overall we had a fantastic stay and we didnt want to leave. Thank you to Lowri and Gwyn for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We would definitely recommend this property for anyone wanting a quiet lavish getaway!
Linsey
We had an amazing time here, the conversation is stunning, area relaxing and couldn't fault a thing. Will definitely be back again.
A lovely place to spend a week! The view was awesome. The hot tub and added bonus.
A lovely place to stay, well thought out and so quiet. The hot tub was an amazing extra after a busy day. Lovely owners, would definitely recommend this place.
Amazing accommodation. So clean and well equipped. We loved the hot tub and games room. Very peaceful with a beautiful outlook. The owners were so lovely and helpful. Would love to go back one day.
Rhiane
We had a lovely week at Rhianwen and were very sad to leave! Beautiful property, every room has incredibly comfortable beds and each en suite was a joy to have. We loved the outside space with lots of areas to sit in the sun, the hot tub was very popular! Absolutely amazing primate location, but lots to visit and do within 3060 minutes away! Highly recommend Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall and Oswestry for any shopping! The best walk is directly behind the property, with absolutely amazing views at the top of the mountain! Tough, particularly in the what but well worth it!
Beautiful converted barn in a very tranquil, quiet part of mid Wales. Quite remote and could be difficult to find without good old Sat nav ! Postcode takes you straight there. Grandkids loved hottub and take tennis and playing with Freddie, the friendly collie. Property very comfortable and had all we needed. Hosts very welcoming and helpful. Diolch yn fawr Lowri a Gwyn.
Derren
Lovely converted barn in picturesque rural setting. All 3 bedrooms are ensuite which was definitely a bonus. Everything there that you would need for cooking although the nearest supermarket is 15 minutes away. If you like your holidays in a beautiful rural setting then I would definitely recommend. And if you got the legs and energy walk up the hill behind the barn for amazing views for miles.
A lovely barn conversion in a stunning remote location, very comfortable for 6 adults and 1 dog and each bedroom had a lovely ensuite. Really friendly responsive owners and the hot tub and games room were good additions. Would definitely stay again to explore more of the area.
Jennie
2 couples , 2 dogs and we really enjoyed our peaceful post xmas and new year break. Easy check in with great comms. Felt at home as soon as we walked through the front door. Lovely cozy converted barn with a log burner gave it a nice cottage feel but spacious at the same time. Didn't feel like we were under each others feet, Each bedroom had a nice modern en suite bathroom. Beds comfy with extra pillows if needed. Kitted out well with everything you'd need for a weeks holiday. Decorated to very high standard. Kitchen could do with more food storage and a decent sharp cuttingcooking knife. Hot tub was huge. We've used many hot tubs in holiday homes and this is by far the best very impressive .Nice and private with fantastic views. Only gripe is there could be more lighting walking to the hot tub in the dark , and the decking can get very slippy when wet. Dogs loved the outdoor space but felt our dog being a smaller dog could of got out so we had to watch him all the time. Not a complaint but it isn't secure for a small dog , maybe some chicken wire at the bottom of the front and back gate would help. It did make us a bit on edge with it being onto the road and obviously fields. Beautiful walks on your door step. Gryn Moelfre mountain literally at the rear the property, great leg burn my other half made it look so easy Trig at the top to add to our list . the views were amazing and well worth the climb. Nearest pub is 1.9 miles away The Wynnstay Inn. Took about 40 minutes to walk down a quite country lane. Lovely warm welcome from staff & locals . Didn't eat there so cant comment. Pictures really don't do this place justice as its a lot nicer in the flesh. Considering re booking for the summer so can take advantage of the lovely out door space. Thank you for welcoming us at your beautiful barn Plas Moelfre Hall Barns a great start to 2024.
We have now stayed at Rhianwen twice and loved it each time. There is plenty of space for everyone and facilities for everyone including our lovely four legged friend. May well return for a third visit
Beautiful location fora peaceful break before Christmas. The barn is beautifully converted and very comfortable. Great fenced garden for the dogs, who had a lovey time. Really recommend this property for anyone seeking a peaceful get away with great sites to visit not faraway.
Alexandra
We all loved staying here! It was such a beautiful place to stay and very cosy
We would definitely recommend staying here. Its nicely furnished, cosy, and spacious our party included four adults, two dogs and a toddler but we didnt feel cramped. The garden is large and ideal for dogskids to run around in, and has several different seating areas to appreciate the extensive stunning views. There were lovely Welsh cakes and eggs provided on arrival, and brew kit, as well as thoughtful features like dog bowlstreats, and double towels for showering and hot tub use. We arrived with some basics for tea and planned to do a bigger shop the following day that worked well as its a bit of a drive to the nearest shop not a complaint, as the peace and tranquility of the local area was just what we wanted. There are lots of outdoor activities within a 30 min drive our favourites were Lake Vyrnwy and the National Ironworks Centre Sculpture trail. We have already recommended the barns to our friends and wed love to come back and explore the area at different times of the year ourselves. Thanks so much for a perfect stay.
Nice clean, comfortable accommodation. Would recommend the Wynnstay Arms in Llansilin for food. Very friendly and lovely meal. Open Wednesday to Sunday.

Pierre
We absolutely loved staying at the property. It was very clean. The garden was fully enclosed for our dog. The welcome pack was very much appreciated. We booked her based on its location and the hot tub and games room. Every box ticked . However the only point that sadly spoiled our holiday was the last night when the adjoining fields around the property were suddenly busy with, what we assume was farmers, driving up the tracks where sheep were to the top of the hill before sounding horns and releasing dogs to chase foxes and the sound of shotguns. This was so upsetting as we believed fox hunting was banned. it distressed us and the neighbouring cottage and ours and their dogs. When it was finally over the vehicles returned to the road with the occupants stating that the fox had not been killed, just been made lame to die painfully over time. This is just sick and should be banned.
Caroline
Lovely friendly owners. Perfect cottage to find peace and be in the countryside. Family loved the games room and hot tub after a day out. Secure for our dog too. Lovely holiday. Thank you.
We had an absolutely lovely stay in the cottage. The views over the hills from terrace or jacuzzi are wonderful. All comfort present, very good beds, decent internet. Contact with owner very friendly and fast.
Really cannot fault one single thing. The house is beautiful and super clean. The grounds and the area surrounding its amazing. We had such and amazing stay and wish we could of stayed longer. All the little touches the hosts do you you is truly lovely & thoughtful. Our dogs loved it. They even left bowls, blankets leads etc for them to. We would highly recommend to anyone and will certainly go back. Thank you so much for a wonderful break away.
Rhiannon
Lovely barn conversion in a beautiful area views amazing. Spotlessly clean with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Hot tub was also spotlessly clean emptied after every stay & was lovely especially at night with the lights . Such a peaceful location , with access to the hills & walks around the area. Games room also an added bonus. Only slight negative was that although dog friendly, and fenced, our Labrador was always getting out under the fence which was not a problem as the area was quiet , but there were sheep in the nearby field which could pose an issue with some dogs. We loved the stay & would definitely book again next year. Diolch Lowri for the welcome in your amazing place !
Pauline
Perfect for a family get together
Anthony
My family and I stayed here for a week. We had a great time, the barn was lovely and hot tub was an added bonus. Views were amazing pictures dont do it justice. Just be aware although its dog friendly the garden is not secure and there is a road next to the garden albeit not much traffic.
Brilliant stay for 5 adults and 2 small dogs. Barn was well maintained and serviced for us all. Everything was there we needed hot tub towels, dog treats. Made for a very easy stay. Had brilliant sunshine Sunday and bbq gas was low was replaced in minutes. Good location with fabulous views. 30min walk to lovely friendly pub with great meals. Lots of walks with dogs around. Throughly recommend we are talking about returning.
Our week away was absolutely fab. The house was perfect for our group and dogs. The whole house is so comfortable and clean, the house felt very homely and cosy. The surrounding area was stunning with multiple walks on our door step and the town not far at all. We would definitely returnrecommend to friends and family.
If you want a truly relaxing break then this is your place, surrounded by beautiful hills fabulous views it is down some very narrow roads but worth the drive. . the house has everything you need, great that when cooking you are not segregated away from everyone..showers were great hot water even when all 3 showers in usebeds so comfy hot tub so nice to relax in after a busy day sightseeing..thankyou Lowri for letting us stay but later on day of departure
Excellent stay! Really nice property, quiet, dog friendly, with onsite mountain and hot tub. We stayed in one property and our friends in the other which worked really well. Nearby are lots of walking trails OS map recommended, waterfalls, and activities. Best to take shopping with you as youre out of the way but theres a decent sized M&S food hall about 20 minutes away. Recommended
Beautiful place to stay. Peaceful and quiet with gorgeous views. Hot tub was lovely and not overlooked. Property was well equipped and had everything you needed for your stay. It is in a very remote location down lots of lanes, so ensure you take what you need, as you cant just pop to the shops easily. We loved our visit thank you.
