Loved my stay at Boar cottage to get away from fireworks (which we did!), very comfortable, well equipped and beautifully decorated. The setting is very peaceful and secluded. The garden is beautiful with views of the surrounding fields and woodland , it was secure enough for my patterdale terrier sized dog. (Worth noting its a No dogs on furnitureRead more or bedrooms type place) . The highlight is definitely the hot tub! The owners are on site if needed and John was excellent at communicating. Hide

A lovely well appointed cottage with the welcome addition of a hot tub, games area and donkeys.. all of which added to a very enjoyable holiday. The local pub and Jndian restaurant were very good and we were grateful to John for providing the contact details for them. Thank you for providing a great base to explore North Wales.

Boar cottage was the best cottage i have ever stayed in. I can not speak highly enough about this place , everything was of a very high spec . I would give it 9.99 out of 10 the only small thing that stopped me giving 10 out of 10 was the bedroom blinds very nice as they are but let to much light into the room in the morning a slight problem for meRead more last week but think it would be even worse in the summer but thats only my thought [ there was no curtains to close ] Hide
