James

Really friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere, will definitely return soon!

Lee

The lodge is cosy and tucked away in a stunning spot, with welcoming hosts and great on-site fishing fun.

Sarah W.

We really enjoyed our time at Waterside Retreat! The fishing was fantastic-caught carp, mirror carpand tench, which kept us busy. The hot tub was such a treat, especially with those gorgeous views of the fields. It's perfect for relaxing in the evening sun. Jenny and Iean made us feel so welcome. We'll definitely be returning soon. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

Michael

We stayed here recently and found the place pretty decent. The fridge wasn't cooling properly, which was a bit annoyingand the TV took ages to get fully tuned in. Storage space might be tight for ladies, but overall, it's a cool spot and worth giving a go. It's maybe a tad pricey, but that's just how things are these days. Still, we'd consider coming back!

Emma

Really warm family, super friendly and caring. Thomas the chicken farmer is lovelyand we enjoyed some fresh eggs during our stay! Great experience.

Alex

We had a lovely stay at this cosy spot on a big farm. The rooms are small but super comfyand the hot tub with good jets was a real highlight, especially on chilly March nights. The hosts were wonderful, making us feel welcome. Perfect base for exploring North Wales. Highly recommend for couples seeking peace and privacy!

Mark

We loved the location, perfect for exploring the areas we had in mind. Being dog-friendly was a big plus for us. The hut is brand newand we're sure it'll look even better as the gardens mature in spring and summer. Felt very secure with the electric gates on the owner's property. Underfloor heating was a real treatand the facilities were just right. Stayed three nights, which suited us perfectly. Jenny was super helpful throughout our stay. Will return!

Sam

We had a really nice stay in a lovely spot. The hosts were super friendly and quick to help with small issues. The place looked beautifully finished, though the tiny space could use a few tweaks. Sadly, the Wi-Fi and TV weren't available, despite being advertised, which was a bit of a let-down. We brought our dog, but it's probably better for just couples since it's not really dog-friendly. The fishing and hot tub were definite highlights, we'd come back for those!
