Klaudia August 2024

“We’ve had a lovely relaxing stay with our two girls.”

You couldn’t really ask for much more , the cottage and the area it’s in is just what you need to get away from “everyday” life. The owners are lovely and you can tell a lot of effort is put in to make guests comfortable. All of the extra touches were appreciated.

- Klaudia, August 2024

Thanks for the review and happy your girls enjoyed their stay. Regards Rhian Property Owner

Noah June 2024

“We really enjoyed our stay and the cottage was beautiful.”

Thank you for the recommendations and local knowledge. The only bad points were -the toilet needs re-attaching to the wall as this was loose - quite noisy in the bedrooms from the downstairs noise ( would suggest looking into more sound proof doors ? ) Again we really enjoyed our stay and the above did not effect our experience but thought the feedback would be helpful. Thanks again,

- Noah, June 2024

Thanks for your feedback all sorted now, glad you enjoyed your stay regards Rhian Property Owner
Kath June 2024

“The cottage was perfect.”

Very private with a gorgeous view and so peaceful.Just lovely sitting watching the sheep and allowing you to breathe and relax. A little gem! Spotlessly clean, comfy beds & lovely big bath towels and great shower. A really lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated. We would have no hesitation in returning and plan to do so in the future. Thank you Rhian & Yan.

- Kath, June 2024

Thanks for the great feedback Kath, it was so nice to meet you both. Regards Rhian Property Owner

“Perfect in every way.”

We loved our stay at the cottage, all you need is a toothbrush oh and may be a change of clothing. But honestly everything is there for you. Comfy bed and cute friendly sheep to tickle and peace and quiet. Rhian and Yan are so lovely and friendly they made us feel really welcome especially with the lovely treats too. Thanks you so much. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

- Helen, May 2024

Thanks for the lovely review Helen, glad you enjoyed your stay regards Rhian Property Owner

“Our stay at Hafan Haydn was perfect!”

The most beautiful cottage with everything you could think of and more! The cottage is well set out, great attention to detail a really comfortable stay. It's location was just right for exploring, it has the most beautiful views and the resident sheep were a real hit with our children who enjoyed feeding them daily. Rhian and Yan were the perfect hosts nothing was too much trouble and the welcome pack and the gifts for our children were really thoughtful. We will be back!

- Emma, May 2024

It was comfortable and cosy. There were so many little thoughtful extras, everything you could possibly need was provided. The views were stunning and the owners friendly and helpful. We had a fabulous holiday. Thank you

Many thanks for the review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay regards. Rhian Property Owner
Richard April 2024

“Neither pictures nor words do this lovely cottage enough justice as it’s fantastic location and charm is matched by its welcoming hosts, Go out of their way to make sure you stay is enjoyable and relaxing.”

On our visit, they bent over backwards to accommodate our awkward parking requirements for vehicles. I cannot recommend this Cottage highly enough.

- Richard, April 2024

Thanks for your lovely review, great to see the army boys ‘at work’ ! We hope to see you in bodrhyddan hall next year ! Regards Rhian Property Owner
Catherine January 2024

“The most delightful, extremely well equipped cottage, in a beautiful, quiet, rural setting, not too far from amenities, with lovely owners who added so many extra thoughtful niceties.”

- Catherine, January 2024
Catherine December 2023

“This amazing cottage was a home from home.”

The owners have thought of everything: well equipped kitchen, fire set ready to light, plenty of tea towels and hand towels, essential toiletries, amazing Christmas decorations, welcome package etc. The owners were lovely and provided lots of feed for the sheep. The children were upset to leave this wonderful cottage and the sheep. In the visitor book I found a simple comment which resonated with us “I have found my happy place”. We really have. We will be back. Thank you.

- Catherine, December 2023
Nikita December 2023

“We had such a lovely time and didn’t want to leave.”

The accommodation is beautiful and incredibly well stocked. In fact, it’s the best cottage we have stayed in for supplying everything you could think of (there was even bubble bath!). The treats on arrival were a lovely thought and the resident sheep are entertaining. The cottage is in a great location for exploring bit further enough away from everything for a peaceful stay. We feel very rested and will certainly return. Thank you! :)

- Nikita, December 2023
Oliver November 2023

“We can't speak highly enough about Hafan Haydn!”

We absolutely loved the location. So peaceful, quiet, pretty and still loads to see and do even though it's out of season in November. Not far from the shops and the beach. A lovely little trip down to the local pub The Blue Lion. Also less than an hour away from Anglesey so great spot for a day trip out. We needed a holiday of just pure relaxation, a time out from daily life and a chance to catch up on crafting and reading. The hosts were so friendly, accommodating and they have worked so hard on making this cottage an inviting and cosy place to stay. The cottage was spotless! Cleanest place we have ever stayed and was also well equipped. More than a home from home! We would love to return!

- Oliver, November 2023
Stella October 2023

“This cottage was AMAZING!”

! The hosts Rhian & Yan are so friendly and helpful. It is set in beautiful countryside and is spotlessly clean! The extras provided were wonderful and much appreciated. Our granddaughters loved feeding the sheep and keep asking us “when can we go there again”. The log burner was all laid ready to light to give a really cosy night (but we didn’t need it as we had great weather). Sykes need to amend the directions - we got lost but once we’d spoken to Rhian we realised we should have just stayed on the lane until the grassed triangle with the wooden bench and then turn left there. Once again this is a wonderful cottage!!!

- Stella, October 2023
Amy October 2023

“This cottage was perfect for our family, well furnished, very clean, cosy and some lovely welcoming touches.”

Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in North Wales.

- Amy, October 2023
Mandy August 2023

“We had the loveliest stay at Hafan Haydn.”

The four of us (2 adults and 2 kids, aged 12 and 9) were very comfortable and settled well into the space, which was compact yet spacious. The facilities are excellent, and it was very clean and welcoming (especially all the little welcoming touches/goodies!). The view was just amazing, and the sheep very friendly and characterful. The location is great as well - an easy drive to some gorgeous family-friendly beaches and you literally step off the drive into beautiful walks. We'd love to come back one day!

- Mandy, August 2023
Jane July 2023

“This property is one of the best that we've stayed in.”

You simply cannot fault or complain about anything, it is just perfect. The welcome pack that is left is very kind and generous. The cottage is in the perfect location to do as much or as little as you like. With just the perfect views. We absolutely loved feeding the sheep, of which you get left pellets to feed them with. We will definitely be back without a doubt.

- Jane, July 2023
Rebecca June 2023

“Cottage was beautiful, owners very friendly and helpful.”

The outside space was fantastic, so quiet and peaceful. Cottage is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Clean, tidy and very comfortable. The antics of their sheep, and wild rabbits kept us amused! Always something going on. The cottage is half hour from Conwy, local pub is a nice walk away and local butcher is fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone who needs to get away for peace and quiet.

- Rebecca, June 2023
June June 2023

“Lovely cottage private and secluded, wanted to chillax , so this was perfect for us.”

The owners put a lot of thought into making sure our needs were met. The cottage was immaculate, cosy, and comfortable and the welcome pack with wine, was a nice touch and was enjoyed by us.The views are stunning, so nice to wake up, sit with a coffee, and enjoy the peacefulness of the countryside.We made good friends with the sheep, they are so cute . The owner gave us a bucket of foodie snacks for them, and we loved it when they came close to the fence and fed from our hands. Sad to leave, being back to the bustle of daily life will bring us back down to earth. Would recommend this property, its perfect. Thankyou June B, June P and Eleanor who was over on a visit to the UK from South Africa.

Gary April 2023

“Absolutely beautiful cottage.”

Spotlessly clean and tidy.The beds were very comfortable and the views of the countryside are amazing.Lovely welcome pack on arrival and the owners are really nice and welcoming.So nice to just relax in a cottage that is warm and relaxing.

- Gary, April 2023
Julia April 2023

“Lovely clean holiday cottage, lots of wee extras supplied that helped make the stay comfortable.”

Great views and quiet, relaxing location. Just be aware the directions are incorrect, take the turning at the second grass triangle junction, not the first.

- Julia, April 2023
Jeff March 2023

“Beautiful Cottage with fantastic views so peaceful with lovely owners who are really helpful.”

The cottage has everything you could possibly want and more There is a local pub The Blue Lion severing delicious food at a very reasonable cost with friendly staff. We had a great holiday just wish we could have stayed longer than 4 days

- Jeff, March 2023
Catherine February 2023

“Hafan Hadyn is probably one of the best equipped holiday cottages we've ever stayed in.”

The cottage is even better than the photos. It's quiet, warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean and the views are brilliant. Although it is tucked away in the beautiful countryside, it's no distance at all to get to amenities and a good base for exploration of the area. The hosts were delightful. Thank you.

- Catherine, February 2023
David January 2023

“We needed a base in order to have easy access to Glen Clwyd Hospital for my wife's radiology treatments.”

As we have been in the Holiday Cottage letting business ourselves!, I feel we could be objective about our stay in Hafan Haydn. We unreservedly give it a five star rating, our hosts made us very welcome, meeting all our needs. Turning what could have been a difficult medical week into a delightful Holiday. Every Blessing David

- David, January 2023
Abdul December 2022

“Lovely, quaint and clean cottage.”

The little touches (toothbrush, cream cakes, chocolates etc) were much appreciated. The kids were also allowed to feed the sheep which the loved. Highly recommended and would love to visit again in the spring. Rhian was a brilliant host and although she was unwell at the time of visit, nothing was too much trouble.

- Abdul, December 2022
Paul December 2022

Claire October 2022

“A beautiful cottage with stunning surroundings.”

Everything was first class. Cottage had everything you could ask for and more. The owners had thought of everything that could be needed. Nothing was to much trouble and the items left for our arrival were very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend.

- Claire, October 2022
Brenda October 2022

“The barn was beyond expectations.”

It is beautifully maintained, with everything you could possibly want . It’s in a lovely quiet area , with great views on all sides . The host is very friendly and very welcoming . The welcome pack is full of lots of good things . We will definitely return, and also recommend it to them .

- Brenda, October 2022
Aneka August 2022

“A perfect location for our first family holiday!”

We have had a wonderful time here, we really couldn’t have asked for more. The location and house are absolutely stunning, better than the pictures! The highlight of our trip was seeing our little boy’s faces light up every time we went outside, what an experience having the sheep over the fence. Thank you Yan and Rhian we are forever grateful!

- Aneka, August 2022
Tim July 2022

“The directions of how to get to this property are not as the owner believes.”

They state "Follow the sign to Dyserth for approx. 1.8 miles. Turn left onto side road at a grass island and continue for 0.3 miles. The signs for Plas Onn Bach and Hafan Haydn will be seen on the drive on the right." The owner told me that it would be better if Sykes Cottages directions had read "Turn left onto side road at a grass island WITH A BENCH" if you'd done as they believed it would have read like this it would have saved me an hour trying to find the place. The place was immaculate. I really loved the kitchen and the bathroom which has a shower to die for. The headroom in the bedroom with the king size bed is a problem, may I suggest you replace the king size bed with a double, as this may save future people knocking them selves out when they get out of bed in the middle of the night. We were disappointed there were no chickens and eggs as described There is also no handle for the grill in the kitchen. Rhian was very nice, thank you for constantly finding the girls rings. I was disappointed no one answered the door of your house when I tried to drop off the keys on Friday. Good Luck with letting your cottage in the future

- Tim, July 2022
Linda July 2022

“Hafan Haydn exceeded our expectations.”

A beautiful peaceful location but within an easy drive for beaches and days out. The accommodation was spotlessly clean light and airy and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a “home from home” stay. Rhian and Yan were perfect hosts and made us feel very welcome. We were sad to leave.

- Linda, July 2022
Keith June 2022

“Fantastic accomodation and friendly, helpful hosts - perfect !”

- Keith, June 2022
Aimee April 2022

“We had the best stay at Hafan Haydn the house itself has everything you need and my 2 daughters 2 & 5 loved seeing the lambs everyday.”

They even got to feed them which was a huge highlight of the holiday for them. Rhian and Yan were excellent hosts and left lovely welcome treats for our arrival. Will be recommending to all friends and family and would love to return one day. Thank you for a great start to our holiday.

- Aimee, April 2022

“Great stay in a lovely well equipped cottage, nice area with good walks from the door.”

Daniel December 2021

“We booked super last minute and the owner was really accommodating.”

The cottage was immaculate and a lot nicer than it looked in the pictures. The owners had thought of everything and they left the best welcome treats that we've ever had at a property. The fire was already laid and ready to light and they supplied enough wood that we didn't need to buy any extra. The shower and bath were great and the surroundings and peace and quiet made for a lovely relaxing break. Thank you so much for letting us stay. Only minor comment is the kitchen could do with a little more space for food storage, maybe just one empty cupboard for groceries would be handy. But that wasn't a big problem and we really loved the place.

- Daniel, December 2021
Derek December 2021

“Thank you for a lovely weekend break.”

Rhian and Yan made us really welcome in their immaculate cottage, not only a personal welcome but left us a well stocked fridge (milk, butter, Prosecco, a beer, bread and cream cakes) The cottage was left beautifully warm for our arrival plus the wood burner was laid ready to light for a cosy evening. (Plus a basket of logs to keep us going) Next day magically a restock of coals, kindling and fire lighters arrived outside the door. The views around the cottage are fantastic, with sheep coming down the mountain to graze just over the wall and Rhian and Yan’s chickens sauntering around the garden too. The weather was wild and wet (after all it is December!) so we did not make use of the lovely patio with it cast iron table snd chairs and rattan furniture. After a few country lanes it was easy access to the coast and places of interest. Will definitely be returning again.

- Derek, December 2021
Andrew October 2021

“Absolutely wonderful cottage.”

A really warm welcome from the owners too. The cottage is surrounded by countryside, so quiet. The views are amazing. Really snug comfortable place to stay. Huge bathroom, everything was vey clean. It’s even nicer than the pictures show. Great place for a winter break, even if the weather gets bad, just get the log burner on, sit in the huge comfy leather sofa & watch films. The big smart TV has Netflix etc. apps, so you can login to those. The kids loved being near the friendly sheep and chickens. We really loved our stay and will definitely be back.

- Andrew, October 2021
Mark October 2021

“A perfect cottage for our stay with everything we needed.”

- Mark, October 2021
John October 2021

“Great cottage, set in a quiet area, warm, cosy, and wouldn't hesitate in returning.”

It would be great for young children, as there are sheep, chickens and horses, all friendly. We loved our stay , but went too quickly.

- John, October 2021
David September 2021

“Lovely cottage ,very clean and very well equipped.”

Loved the sheep and chickens close by.Owners wasnt intrusive which suits us ,short drive to shops and 15 minutes to beach and train services if required.

Sarah April 2021

“We had a fantastic stay at Hafan Haydn, the cottage was immaculately clean with everything we could have wanted available for use and some really thoughtful touches.”

The hosts were lovely and we couldn’t have wished for a more beautiful setting for our few days away. Thank you, we will be returning soon!

“Beautiful cottage with amazing views.”

Absolutely the best cottage lve stayed in.

- Gary, September 2020
Barbara September 2020

“Beautiful cottage in a perfect location.”

Remote and calm but only 10 min drive from shops, cozy pubs with food and garden/ gift centre with the best cakes ever! The cottage was the cleanest most well stocked place we have ever stayed in anywhere. Anything you may forget is there so don’t worry. Having sheep as your neighbours is a wonderful experience and our human ones who owned the property where lovely , non intrusive but you still felt really looked after. A true delight.

- Barbara, September 2020
John August 2020

- John, August 2020
Robert August 2020

“Cottage was spotless and very comfy, owners were very friendly and helpful leaving us milk and cakes on arrival.”

Beautiful weather and all going well,Untill Monday night when a terrific thunderstorm struck the main house and all our electrics went out. The owners had the power restored next day and bought us a new TV When we went to go out in our car that had been hit too and all electrics gone. We came home with Green Flag recovery next day. Sad end to a lovely holiday! Still waiting for our car back! Mr & Mrs R McNab

- Robert, August 2020
Darren September 2019

“I booked this holiday as a surprise for my then Pregnant other half, it started by secretly flying her Mum over from South Africa then the mystery location for a week away.”

the cottage was amazing, quite and very comfy for the three of us, we all loved it. the views were great and the facilities perfect for what we needed I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a week of piece and quite even on the few rainy days it was a great place to be the cottage was perfect and a great place to rest and see the surrounding area, I wouldn't hesitate to return here with the little one once he's a little older

- Darren, September 2019
Helen August 2019

“This cottage is by far the best we've stayed in.”

A really high spec cottage, sooo clean and exceeded what we expected. The pictures here don't do it justice! The hosts are genuinely warm and welcoming. We were left homemade cake, prosecco and juice for my children. All of which was so welcomed!!! The owners keep rescue sheep who are wonderful! My children adored them. The owners let us feed tgem almost daily! Cottage located in a little slice of heaven. So much to see and do. We have already recommended this cottage to everyone we know. 11 out of 10

- Helen, August 2019
Chloe August 2019

“The house is gorgeous and bigger than it looks in the photos (bedrooms are attic style so very tall people might struggle upstairs).”

It is in a beautifully peaceful location and the garden is very private with far reaching views over the countryside. The sheep are fabulous and were the children's favourite part of the holiday (no chickens at the moment so bring eggs!). The owners live next door and are lovely but not intrusive in anyway. We loved this cottage, so clean and quiet and would love to come back to do the coastal cycle route and climb snowdon. Also the homemade lemon drizzle on arrival was the best we have ever had!

- Chloe, August 2019
Judith August 2019

“The area was so relaxing.”

The cottage had extra touches that wasn't expected but made the holiday perfect. The hosts made themselves available for any questions or problems. The only problem for strangers to the area was relying on the SATNAV. To reach the cottage it takes you down a lane only accessible for one vehicle. So a very scary journey getting there. But when you get your bearings and useful information from the owner you find out there is an easier route to and from the cottage.

- Judith, August 2019
Jennifer July 2019

“This little cottage is just lovely.”

The area is so scenic and peaceful. The only sounds we could hear were the local sheep. Really lovely hosts, they were so helpful and when we arrived there was lots of little touches waiting. A fully stocked bathroom, cake, prosecco and milk etc in the kitchen too. Really close to local beaches and family days out. Only downside for the kids was the lack of chickens as mentioned in the listing, however they were fully entertained by the sheep!

- Jennifer, July 2019
Richard July 2019

Belinda and Stephen July 2019

“Fantastic experience from start to finish.”

Great web site with very simple procedures to book your chosen cottage. Emails to client with all relevant information received promptly. Arrived at our choice of cottage and WOW it exceeded our expectations, our hosts could not have been anymore helpful. A FANTASTIC WEEKEND AWAY WAS HAD BY ALL

- Belinda and Stephen, July 2019
Lisa April 2019

“We return every year to this gorgeous cottage - simply her nicest place we’ve stayed a complete away from it all experience but a home from home.”

The owners can’t do enough to make sure the cottage is perfect. Easy access to amenities and some fabulous walks too. Beautiful!

A great base to explore lovely North Wales. Our grandaughters loved collecting the eggs from the chicken everyday and playing with the 2 friendly sheep.We will defenently be going back again.

- John, October 2018
Leann September 2018

“We had an amazing holiday in this perfect cottage.”

I have never stayed in a cottage with so many home comforts and little extras, just simple things like spare wipes and cot sheet for our little one just shows care for their guests. Would love to stay here again xx

- Leann, September 2018
Andrew August 2018

“The cottage was extremely clean and all the facilities were spot on.”

Host's were delightful and lemon drizzle cake left for us was divine.

- Andrew, August 2018
Anita July 2018

“The owners make you feel so welcome and add extra touches to give the already beautiful cottage the wow factor upon arrival.”

The cottage has all the amenities you could need which are very well maintained and the cottage has a spectacular view of the countryside. This is a place ideal for a great getaway as apart from the owners next door in their house, your only neighbours are the sheep and chickens. The chickens love the attention and some sheep like cuddles and a good scratch behind the ear. Getting out and about is easy access for eating, drinking, shops, the beach and plenty more activities such as pottery painting with afternoon tea, aquarium, zip wiring, caves, pony trekking amongst others and the local pub, 'The Blue Lion' is also really friendly and have the best steak and ale pie in town. We would definately recommend this cottage as a great base for a superb holiday destination.

- Anita, July 2018
Phil July 2018

Our hosts were so lovely, kind & couldn't do enough for us. They went beyond the call of duty with their very welcoming touches. We felt very home from home. The cottage was immaculate, spotlessy clean and the views of the Welsh countryside were beautiful. We particularly loved watching the resident sheep and chickens with their amusing characters. We would return tomorrow.

- Jo, July 2018

“Hafan Haydn is a lovely cottage a real home from home.”

The location is ideal for walking the local countryside or trips to the beaches and other attractions of North Wales.

- Paul, March 2018
Cathy December 2017

“Our third stay at this lovely cottage made even more magical by staying for Christmas this year.”

The cottage is beautifully furnished, clean and comfortable and the owners are so helpful and always add personal touches. The owners even accommodated hiding the children’s presents in their garage for us and taking the empty boxes to the tip! Can’t wait to return in the summer.

- Cathy, December 2017

We spent many happy hours admiring the views from the cottage. Just what we needed for a family with a young baby. It was very well equipped and we will definitely be returning!

- Matthew, July 2016
Charlotte July 2016

“This is a relaxing cottage in a lovely location.”

We had a toddler and baby with us and they had stair gates, high chair and travel cot ready for us, at no extra cost! The owners are lovely, the little things they thought of made the stay more than perfect. The cottage was extremely clean and the beds were very comfy! I can't say enough good things about the cottage - we will be going again!

- Charlotte, July 2016
Rachel June 2016

“This property is absolutely immaculate, and designed by the owners themselves to an incredibly high standard.”

The owners are next door, and you pass their home as you drive/walk to the property, but they are discreet and quiet. The land that the property is on is excellent, with a wraparound private garden with patio, shed and rotary line, which leads out onto the owners small holding, which has sheep and chickens. The area is so peaceful, apart from the odd bleat of the sheep, but is only a short drive to the beaches at Prestatyn, and makes a fantastic holiday destination. Perfect for families and couples alike.

- Rachel, June 2016

“We absolutely loved seeing the chickens & sheep in the field, and collecting our own eggs!”

The cottage itself was probably faultless! We really enjoyed the fire.

Nichola February 2016

“Perfect hideaway from the world, beautiful location, friendly chickens and sheep just over the fence.”

You can sit warm and snug in front of the wood burner and still see the wildlife outside. Perfect dark skies for star gazing. Hosts have thought of everything, flowers, wine and fire lighters, its a real treat to stay here.

“Had a warm welcome from friendly and helpful hosts.”

It was a delightful comfortable cottage, with many thoughtful extras provided by the hosts. The location was close enough to good transport links, yet was quiet and peaceful, and conveniently located for access to the many attractions of north Wales - such as world class gardens, the Vale of Clwyd etc.

Lianne December 2014

“We spent our Christmas here and we could not fault the cottage at all.”

Ideally situated with great views but not too far away from the local town and other main towns. The owners are very welcoming and go that extra mile to make you feel welcome. The cottage is great with a modern touch and very good feel to it. The best Christmas we have had as a family.

- Lianne, December 2014

“The cottage and location were idyllic.”

It was so easy to relax there and do nothing if that's what we felt like, and at the same time there was loads of information on activities and places to visit in the local area if we wanted that too. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a quite base from which to explore North Wales!
