Circus Circus Reviews

Fantastic Experience. If you want something different this is the place. Decor is outstanding. This is a one room apartment that has everything you need on hand. The owners have gone above and beyond to provide comfort for you and your pets. Hot tub in an enclosed yard is a bonus! Town is right outside the door, nearest pub 50 yards away. Nothing negative to say. We will definitely be back.

Anthony

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Circus Circus, as soon as you walk into the place you cant help but smile, you can see the effort that has been made down to the smallest of details, its definitely quirky. The hosts were lovely we had a few nice chats with them, they also left us a few nice surprises on arrival. The town is nice and the people are friendly and its not too far a drive if you want a beach, I recommend Talacre and the Point of Atre lighthouse. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Darren

Excellent property fantastic weekend. Only suggestion would be to have a solid roof gazebo over the hot tub.

I've never stayed inside a circus big top before but it was definitely the greatest show on earth & I would definitely stay here again,everything was thrilliant! !

Christopher

We arrived early than checkninntime and met the owners Dianne & Johnny who couldnt be more than welcoming, As soon as we opened the door to Circus Circus we was wowed from the start. In the fridge there was essentials including prosecco and cakes which was a lovely gesture. It was like stepping into a Circus tent, Diane's attention to detail is amazing with the whole Circus theme following throughout. Circus Circus is situated on the high street with everything you need at hand from Cafe's to bars, supermarkets all within walking distance. The hot tub was really clean and nice it is checked every 2 days by Johnny it was really nice just to relax and enjoy our time away. We would reccomend going to The Burnt Sausage in town and Marmalades. We would like to thank Diane and Johnny for an amazing stay. Looking forward to coming back and staying in the larger Funky Flat. Thanks Jase & Chris Xx

Alison

I found the instructions on how to find the accomodation and the entry key were excellent,From the moment i opened the door,i was transformed back to being a child,the decor was perfect,i absolutely fell in love with the Giraffe,and the drapes in the ceiling like the big top at the circus,and yes i had to try out the swing. Thank you for the welcoming goodies in the fridge. I had a lovely time in the circus circus accomodation.

Hayriye

Amazing place. Really relaxing in the yard in the evening with the fairy lights. Loved the swing. Bed comfortable. Everything clean. Met the owners and they are very friendly. Everything was great.

This place is incredible and was perfect for me and my dog to stay for a few nights. Circus Circus is an experience that was amazing from start to finish. Great goodies in the fridge, The Greatest Showman playing on entry and the decor is awesome. Massive TV, Alexa on standby and a fully equipped kitchen. There were local dog walks a short drive away and Talacre beach was perfect to let the pooch run around with plenty of space. The hot tub was a lovely way to wind down too. It's opposite a large Tesco, so everything you need for your stay is on the doorstep and there's free parking too. I met Diane and Jonny who were both lovely people and great hosts. Can't wait to stay again!

A lovely decorated quirky accommodation. Alot of effort and time has been put into it. Really enjoyed our stay with our dog too. The fridge was full of goodies on arrival. Hot tub and bbq a bonus we had a lovely time staying here.

Philippa

Fantastic quirky themed accommodation Lovely and clean On arrival great ... Fantastic quirky themed accommodation Lovely and clean On arrival great welcome gifts Really happy on first impression If Im being completely honest though Ive got to mention, the mattress isnt the best, bedding was spot on though, high quality Please note as well that you will hear upstairs coming in and out of their accommodation, and the outside hot tub area isnt very private upstairs can look in which was very annoying But the place really is a must stay if youre looking for something different and close to lots of things to do

We had a fantastic time.

Matthew

Circus Circus didnt disappoint. I loved the feel of how it had been laid out. Its quirky feel. Its cleanliness and it had everything you needed to feel comfortable. I chose the property for the fact that it had a hot tub so that I could kick back at the end of the day. The hosts ensured I had everything I needed and I enjoyed the tour round the other property and chat with Diane. It was a shame that Daves chippy was closed as I was looking forward to a fish and chip supper which a frozen option from the local kebab shop wasnt an option. I would definately stay again if in the area

Absolutely loved circus circus,

We loved our stay at circus circus it's such a quirky place. It's right in the heart of Holywell so very handy for the shops & takeaways. Just a very short walk to Tescos and very easy free parking right outside the apartment so you can leave the car and do lots of walking in the area. The studio apartment was comfortable & clean, there was a very generous welcome pack with treats for our pooch too, one of the best we've had for a while! Lots of condiments too which really helps. The hot tub had just been fitted and it was fantastic, all the lovely fairy lights in the garden made it lovely to sit out in. It's mostly private but there is another apartment above the back and they have stairs going up and can look over the garden. But it didn't happen often. We didn't have bathrobes as advertised but there was extra towels for the tub. Nice walks around the greenfields site which you can find walking through Tescos car park, it also takes you to the well. Drove to Talacre beach a few miles away, it's stunning with an RSPB site where we saw lots of different birds. Circus is a great base to explore North Wales or just to relax in. Hopefully we will return in the future.

Brilliant quirky and fun. Everything you needed just like a home from home but a lot more interesting. Lovely touches like free wine and cake and voucher for free meal for two. Amazing hosts . Would definitely recommend for a stay. You'll never stay anywhere quite like this again it's great.

Nice and different, Great it was dog friendly and more or less in the town centre with tescos and lidles within 2 mins walk. Some nice little welcome gifts also. Was nice to meet the owners who were really nice. you really need to stay here to experience the differential places on life. Nice dog friendly bars and plenty of great walks. Will i be booking again?..... Oh Yes.

What a lovely place to stay something different catches your eye the hosts are a lovely couple the added bonus of a sauna is a great touch although we did'nt use it circus circus is well equipped everthing you need was there a lovely place as a base to explore north wales i would highly recommend circus circus

Had a great stay. Place is beautiful. Be back x

Lovely apartment accessible to Holywell Village. Arrived on Friday afternoon end of January, car parking directly opposite to entrance of apartment which was free. Apartment very quirky with the theme of a circus, everything we needed was provided, its set out as a cosy studio which enabled us to have a very comfortable and relaxing holiday also the benefit of a small sauna and a private outside space at the back of the property. Very good welcome pack was provided which was enjoyed by me and my wife. Our little dog Teddy soon made himself at home. Holywell village was a bonus, lovely cafe called Marmalade, Fish and Chips shop, Indian and Chinese takeaway, plenty of pubs, visited the Market Cross which was a friendly reasonably priced dog friendly pub. Also plenty of shops with a Tesco just across the road, all these facilities are very accessible just minutes away. We will definitely use the accommodation again when in this area. Thanks to the owners for making us feel so welcome.

Graham

Nothing can be faulted, close to all amenities, everything is within walking distance, did not need to use the car. Circus circus is fab, we loved the individuality of the property and it had everything you need, when going away.

Very out of the ordinary and a great place to stay. The goodies on arrival were exceptional and the hot tub an unexpected bonus. A good base for exploring the area.

Wonderful snug little property, great for a nice week away, only got to meet one of the hosts but he was very friendly and approachable. A delightful whimsical idea for a holiday home and I will most definitely be staying here again

This property was excellent had the best short break ever would highly recommend

Russell

Roll up, roll up, corny I know but it sums this place up perfectly. The circus theme is brilliant and it will remain one of the few properties we remember in years to come. The welcome pack was one of the best we have received in 20 years of booking cottages.
