Red Kites Retreat in Eglwysbach, Colwyn Bay, LL28 5UL | Must-See Flintshire Hot Tub Cottage

About Red Kites Retreat

Red Kites Retreat is a luxurious 5-star barn conversion perched high in the hills of North Wales, just 6 miles south of Conwy. This spectacular property offers jaw-dropping mountain views that'll make your Instagram followers weep with jealousy. The steep, narrow access lane might test your driving skills, but trust me - what waits at the top is worth every hairpin turn.

The surrounding countryside is pure Welsh magic. Hiking trails wind through the hills and you're perfectly positioned to explore both mountains and coast. Stargazing from the hot tub is practically mandatory - with minimal light pollution, you'll see more stars than you knew existed. After dark, pour yourself something strong and sink into the bubbling waters while contemplating life's great mysteries... like how soon you can book your next visit.

The accommodation sleeps 7 across three spacious bedrooms: a super-king-size, a double with additional single and a twin. Two bedrooms boast en-suite shower rooms, plus there's a family bathroom with a freestanding bath. The open-plan living space features wooden floors, high ceilings, exposed beams and a wood burner for those chilly Welsh evenings.

Nearby attractions include World Heritage Site Conwy (20 mins) with its impressive castle and Britain's Smallest House, RSPB Reserve for wildlife watching (perfect for actual red kite spotting!), Zip World for adrenaline junkies (30 mins) and Surf Snowdonia (25 mins) for wave riders.

Red Kites Retreat offers pure luxury in total seclusion. Ideal for families or friends seeking quality time together, it's the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Just don't blame me when you're browsing property prices in Wales after your stay.

Red Kites Retreat Reviews

Emma Carter

Wow, we just got back from our stay at Red Kites Retreat and honestly, I felt compelled to leave a review. I don't usually do reviews, but this place really deserves it - truly 5 stars! The cottage was gorgeous, with breathtaking views that made everything so relaxing. Lucy, the owner, was super helpful and friendly the whole time. Honestly, there's not a single negative thing I can say. We'll definitely be coming back. Thanks a lot, Lucy! :)

Emma

We had a fantastic stay at this cosy cottage tucked away in a peaceful spot with breathtaking views of the hills and mountains. The drive up the steep, narrow road was a bit nerve-wracking, but once we arrived, it was totally worth it. The hot tub was a real highlight for the kids! The place was bright, warmand well-equipped with all the pots, pansand crockery we needed. The three bedrooms, especially the two ensuite onesand the comfy sofas made it feel like a home away from home. We'd definitely come back!

Michael

The cottage is perched up high, offering breathtaking views from every window, even while unwinding in the hot tub - lovely! The bedrooms and living space are super spacious and spotless, with comfy sofas that make relaxing easy. The kitchen's got plenty of roomand it's just a short drive to Conwy. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

Jamie

At first, the steep track looks a bit intimidating, but it actually adds to the adventure! Once at the top, those breathtaking views are totally worth the climb. The house was really comfortable and had everything we needed, including towels for the hot tub. We loved how the outdoor space is spread across different levels, offering plenty of seating options-perfect for socialising or some quiet time. The hot tub was a real highlight, so easy to use and well placed. Meeting Lucy, the owner, was lovely-super friendly and helpful. Definitely a great stay!

James

Absolutely loved our stay here! The cottage was spotless and well-equipped, really exceeded our expectations. The hot tub and stunning views of Snowdonia made it even more special. We'd definitely come back if we're in North Wales!

Emma

We loved the peaceful countryside setting with stunning views of the valley and mountains. The drive in felt a bit intimidating at first, but it got easier after a couple of trips. Less than 20 minutes from A55and the cottage had everything we needed. The host was nearby and super helpful. The hot tub was spotless and perfect for relaxing. Great week!

Sophie

The cottage was spot on for a relaxing break, with a well-stocked kitchen and a hot tub that's perfect at night, especially with the lights on. The rural pathway to get there could do with a trim, but the stunning views more than made up for it. Lucy was really helpful with everything we needed, so all in all, a lovely stay!

Sam

Really enjoyed our stay, lovely surroundings and cosy atmosphere, would definitely come back!

Emma Clarke

Really enjoyed our stay here. The place suited us perfectlyand Lucy was fantastic, making our trip extra special. We're already planning to return soon!

Emma

The cottage was simply lovelyand the views were breathtaking. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, soaking up the scenery. It's a fantastic spot for a chilled weekend with friends, definitely somewhere we'd return to again!

Emma

We struggled a bit despite the instructions, but once we arrived, it was really lovely-definitely worth the effort, even if tricky at first.

Emma

We really enjoyed our time at Red Kits Retreat! The bedrooms were spaciousand having three bathrooms with such strong water pressure was a real bonus. The views are breathtaking-waking up to snow-capped mountains before breakfast in the hot tub was pretty unforgettable. The kitchen was fully equippedand the dining area along with the sofas comfortably fit our group of seven adults. Definitely a lovely stay!

Emma T.

Wow, what a fantastic place! We really lucked out with this one. The stunning scenery took our breath awayand we couldn't resist soaking in the hot tub for hours, even in the chilly February weather. Definitely a weekend to remember!

Claire

We had an amazing stay! The scenery was breathtakingand the house was cosy yet stylish. The main bathroom was really impressiveand relaxing in the hot tub with mountain views was perfect. Totally refreshed!

Alex Turner

The place is in a fantastic spot with stunning scenery, super peacefuland really cosy. The beds are comfyand the kitchen's got everything you need. WiFi actually works better than expected too!

Jamie

This cottage really hit the spot for us. The views are absolutely breathtaking, just what we hoped for in the middle of nowhere. The long drive up the track was a hit with the kids, though my partner wasn't so keen! We loved exploring the land around, especially paddling in the stream and trying the rope swing. It's a perfect spot for family fun and games, exactly what we needed. Honestly, we wish we'd booked longer-only a week wasn't enough! Definitely a great find for a peaceful break.

Mark

We had a brilliant time in this beautiful location. However, for those who aren't as adventurous, the road and track leading to it might be a bit of a hassle.

Emily

What a beautiful cottage - the decor was lovely and the beds were the best we've ever slept in at a holiday property! The views are absolutely stunning, making the narrow, steep drive to the property totally worthwhile. So peaceful - just the sounds of the surrounding wildlife. The hot tub was great, with amazing views over to the hills and Snowdon to the left, plus a lovely wood burner to keep things cosy on those autumnal evenings. We will definitely be coming back!

Linda

We had a great week and made the most of the hot tub every day. The views were marvellous! I was a bit surprised to find the downstairs bedroom had two single beds, as that wasn't clear when we booked. We went out daily and had a blast exploring North Wales. There's so much to see and do.

Karen

Cottage was beautiful, location was breathtaking with views of the Snowdonia mountain range. Very quiet location ideal for a peaceful retreat. Great location for getting to lots of walking areas. Hot tub is an excellent addition and very inviting after a busy day. Very relaxing weekend had by all.
