White Roses Retreat, Penmachno

We absolutely loved our stay in your beautiful cottage, the views are amazing loved sitting in the gorgeous hot tub in the evenings with a wine or two, after a busy day exploring. Bed was very comfy, decor gorgeous and the the living room was super comfy with that big window to watch the birds. Great location easy to explore North wales. The only downfall which we never moan is just the patio area needs a little sprus up, love the long grass in meadow area with the little lambs coming to see us every day the birds and bats at dusk , will defo be coming back . Thanks for a lovely time in your property Alison & John x

My review of this cottage really is a tale of 2 halves. Dont be put off by my first section, it does get better. The negatives. On arrival there was about 5 lumps of old dried dog poo, that we had to navigate around on that entrance gravel!

When we first arrived, it was difficult to locate the bungalow. The road was very narrow, and there were vehicles parked in front preventing from seeing it. The guide was good, but a picture of the road approaching would be useful. The codes supplied for the key box and chain were both incorrect. Had to discover them ourselves. The cottage itself is very nice, as shown in the pictures. The entrance is into the small kitchen, Which is very nice. There is a Sage coffee machine, but no pods, and not knowing which pods we needed in advance meant we couldn't use it. The welcome book says there should be some provided as part of a welcome basket which was also missing. The living room is very cosy, and the window from the living room gives lovely views across the valley, You see some thing different every time you look out. However, this was spoiled as the window is dirty, and needs a good clean both inside and out. No welcome basket and no coffee pods etc which were mentioned in the welcome pack, and the welcome pack is jumbled and needs work too. The garden is a mess sorry to say, the lawn completely overgrown and unusable, and the patio has grass and weeds growing all over it unlike the pictures. The hot tub was just amazing, in it everyday, Felt really relaxed every night The bedroom is just lovely, big, and well decorated and furnished. The bedroom is very cosy comfortable but used my own pillows, because I didn't like the ones supplied they are quite bulky, and the mattress firm. Also, the bedroom door does not close properly. The bathroom is again nicely designed, but the toilet seat is broken and needs sorting. The shower is lovely loved using it, But again behind the glass door it's very dirty and looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a while and does not close properly. There is also No lock on bathroom door. The rubbish. The bin was full so couldn't put our rubbish in it, so had to leave it on top of the bin. You need to let people know when they stay there when the rubbish needs to be taken out and if anything is necessary like taking it down the road, and what dates. But really I just want to say I enjoyed my stay, It is a lovely bungalow Quiet, relaxing, comfortable, and lovely walks, lots of waterfalls and streams around. Definitely recommend this place. But I feel you need to get on top of cleaning and maintenance, especially in the bathroom, windows and back garden.

What a lovely cottage and the hot tube and views was amazeing

This cottage is much more than a Hot Tub! The views from the lounge and small bedroom window were fabulous! Although the wood burner is no longer in use the radiators are more than adequate to maintain a snuggly comfortable atmosphere. We really did enjoy our stay here and would not hesitate returning again some time. The quality of the decoration and the equipment is first class. Unfortunately on arrival the recycling bins were over flowing because the collections were not being taken due to we suspect previous occupants not grading the recycling items correctly! Sorted now with help from the very friendly neighbour! Overall an excellent relaxing week in a delightful part of Wales!

We very much enjoyed our stay at White Roses Retreat. It was a quiet location, out in the countryside. The bungalow is clean and wellequipped with an extremely comfy bed. We found it cosy and comfortable. We didn't get to use the hot tub due to heavy driving rain during our stay. We would recommend and hope to stay again. We would definitely recommend getting the log burner fixed and making the hot tub more sheltered.

We book a hot tub get away every year. We prefer a quiet, scenic setting and this is exactly what we got in this charming, beautifully furnished, quaint cottage with everything you need in a secluded village. Restaurants and pubs close by with a lot of other wonderful activities to access. I loved watching the clouds constantly changing with stunning views looking from the living room window or the much welcomed hot tub! Thank you Andrea & Jack

Stunning well kept hottub amazing will come again thanks rich & Hazel xx

Brilliant cottage, great location and facilities within the property. We had two power cuts during our stay however this was manageable we went out and walked snowdon instead Great place for a close couple especially while cooking. Nice hottub. The garden could do with a tidy up but still a nice view from the hottub. Be prepared for no signal in the property so the use of included WiFi was paramount. Thank you for the stay.

It's the cutest little cottage, has everything you need for a wee break away! Garden had furniture for good weather and the hit tub was great!

Very nice stay, everything you need there is and more, clean, bed is very comfortable. Just only one thing I find as problem no parking space. Area is really quite, relaxing, near river, good location. We where happy to stay and happy to come back in the future. Thank you

Really enjoyed our stay small compact everything you need for relaxing after day of walking and sight seeing hot tub bonus views amazing quiet and peaceful. We will definitely recommend to family and friends.we will definitely come back thank you .

Lovely cottage. Very Clean and has everything you need. The bathroom treats were an added bonus. The hot tub is one of the reasons we booked it and it did not disappoint after coming back from a a day of hiking. The area is very nice quiet all you can hear is sheep. So for a get away this was perfect. There is WiFi at the property but no signal. Great location. Will definitely be back and have recommended already

A very comfortable bungalow at the end of a quiet road in a sleepy Welsh village. We undertook lots of walks, hikes, swims and runs in the surrounding area and the hot tub made for a most welcome massage for sore muscles at the end of each day. Parking was fine, the bed and pillows were ever so comfortable and everything we needed was provided. The luxurious 'Tropic' toiletries were a special treat. Our only negative would be that the cottage was quite cluttered, albeit with attractive bits and pieces. This is particularly so in the kitchen where all of the cupboards were full and there was little space available for food storage.

Loved our stay here . Everything was just like advertised and more . The facilities were top notch. The hot tub was to die for. Overall we really enjoyed our selfs.

Fantastic place to stay.

Stunning bungalow, in a gorgeous little village. Beautiful views all around. The cottage is immaculately clean and extremely well equipped. Local pub is lovely and handy shop just a 2 minute walk away. Would strongly recommend and will definitely be returning.

Charming cottage in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Comfortable and spotlessly clean throughout. It had everything we needed for a really lovely holiday and the welcome package was a really nice way to start the trip. We would definitely stay again!
