This is my second visit to Cynynion Uchaf and just like the first time, I had an incredible time.
The house is wonderful! It’s very clean, has every home comfort you would need, the beds are really comfortable and the bed linen is like new. Samantha is a wonderful host, she always makes us feel so welcomed and that nothing is too much trouble. We paid for a home cooked Sunday lunch over the weekend and it was well worth the money. We visited in September 2023 and May 2024 and both times we have been able to make use of the conservatory and been able to sit in the garden. Surrounded by beautiful flowers, birds, squirrels and sheep is just so peaceful that we never want to leave!
Samantha also gave us recommendations for places to visit while visiting. Oswestry which is only a couple of miles away and is filled with quirky little shops, pubs and restaurants. The location is perfect for a group of friends (like us), couples and families.
This property truly exceeded my expectations! The spacious layout and cozy atmosphere made it feel like a home away from home. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the soft sheets added an extra touch of luxury.
Cleanliness was impeccable throughout the entire property. The breathtaking views from the location were simply spectacular. The host's friendliness and hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable getaway, and I can't wait to return myself!
