“Lovely holiday cottage, clean, well maintained with every attention to detail.”

Views from cottage were spectacular. Meryl and Arwel were very good, friendly hosts. Meryl was kind enough to allow my wife to feed two lambs, which as an animal lover- this really made her holiday. Hope to visit again as such a lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

“Really lovely idyllic cottage , a special place as it’s where my red Border Collie, Eddie was born as the breeder are the hosts!”

I didn’t want to leave as love this place. Great facilities and base fir exploring. Everything you need to relax , have a nice meal and chill out by the wood burner at night. I will miss that morning view! The hosts Meryl and Arwell gave a lovely tour of their working farm at a very busy lambing time! Amazing ! Fabulous , special place will be back!

“Absolutely stunning property, fully equipped, warm and welcoming.”

The owners were incredible; we arrived a little later than expected and they had put the fire on to warm the house. There were several fantastic extra touches for over the weekend. They were absolutely lovely and couldn't do more to help. The house itself was impeccable, just like the surrounding area. We went exploring around the local area and we weren't disappointed!!

Ellie September 2023

“We had our first family holiday here with our son and dogs and it was wonderful.”

The cottage is in a beautiful setting, it is quiet surrounded by fields and wildlife. It is close enough to things to do and places to walk without being too close. The cottage itself is definitely one of the best and well stocked we have been to. It is like being at home. The rooms are lovely and the living room is spacious yet cosy. The owners are attentive without being intrusive, they checked on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed and were absolutely lovely. We will definitely be back!

Emma August 2023

“Arwel and Meryl were fantastic hosts.”

The cottage was amazing and beautifully furnished and fully equipped. The only thing we needed was food. Tea, coffee and sugar were provided and there were lots of cleaning products, cloths and binbags. Upon arrival we discovered a beautiful cake and a hamper containing milk, eggs, yogurt and cheese. It really is the thoughtful little touches that make this place amazing. This was our first family holiday together for myself and my partner and his 2 children and my child. We all had an amazing time and wished we could have stayed longer. The children loved their visit to the farm meeting all the animals. We will definitely book again. Lots of lovely lasting memories for us were created in this fabulous cottage. Words are not enough to express how marvellous it is. I will miss the stunning views and drinking a coffee outside whilst looking over the fields. Meryl gave us a tour of the farm and the animals whilst Arwel and my little one loved to have football chats, especially since she is an Everton fan and Arwel a Liverpool fan, she especially loved showing off her tattoo. Thank you for everything.

“Ooooooh you are in for a treat.”

We had a wonderful time at Pendre Uchaf. The Cottage is extremely comfortable and had everything you could possibly need and more. The welcome gifts were the best we have ever received in the many years of using Sykes. The owners are a delight and very attentive and helpful. If you love animals then you will be in Heaven. We enjoyed many cuddles with the pups and loved to see the calves and goats. Thank you for such a wonderful holiday x

Loved staying in this cottage , a little out the way, but after a little drive out for the day it made it more special to come back to , the owners are on hand without being intrusive , loved meeting them and chatting with them , they were all so friendly and even asked if we would like to go and see the the animals and the dogs , which was lovely to get up close to the farm animals , couldnt recomend this cottage enough , we will hopefully return as we enjoyed our stay so much , good luck with the upcoming lambing

Ursula March 2023

“We have stayed in many cottages in the Uk but never one as clean, well equipped and well maintained as Pendre Uchaf.”

Meryl and Arwel definitely go out of their way to make your stay perfect. On arrival we were greeted with a roaring fire in the lounge, well stocked fridge, tea, coffee and even cake to welcome us, what a lovely surprise. The beds most comfortable, bathroom immaculate, kitchen equipped to a very high standard. The lounge too, very comfortable with plenty seating space Meryl and Arwel kept popping in to check that all was well, went out of their way to make our stay perfect. We were also given a tour of the farm, unfortunately no lambs as yet, but a few calves, loved every minute of it. Had heavy snow during our last night, Alwen was there to ensure we were safe. The morning of departure he cleared the whole area of snow making it easier for us to depart. Would highly recommend this most beautiful location for a break, we will definitely be going back there to sample more of their hospitality, this time with our grandchildren to enjoy the farm as well. Thank you once again for an unforgettable experience in your lovely cottage.

- Ursula, March 2023

Ben February 2023

“What a stunning house in a beautiful location!”

. The house had everything we needed, and the welcome pack was amazing (We have stayed in many holiday cottages and never had a welcome pack so good, which also included Easter eggs for the kids!), the owners were very helpful with local information and the children loved being able to go over to see the farm animals with Meryl. Beds were so comfortable and the house spotlessly clean. The views from the court yard were breathtaking and even on a chilly February morning we found ourselves sat with our morning cuppa. We will definitely be returning.

- Ben, February 2023

Thank you for the nice comments . Property Owner

On arrival, we were met by the owner who had already pre-lit the fire for us, and gifted us with a beautiful hamper with fresh goodies. The cottage had everything we needed. Beautiful space, home, and location. The owners were so lovely, and instantly made you feel so welcome. The surroundings of the cottage was utterly breathtaking and so peaceful.

Helen May 2022

“If there was a higher rating for this cottage I would push for it.”

It is beyond any other cottage we have booked. The cottage itself is astounding. So clean, so beautiful and so well stocked. This includes the fridge full of all essentials ready on arrival. The area is stunning with so much to do. One week is not enough. The thing that takes this booking beyond the rating of outstanding is the hosts. Meryl and Arwen make this cottage. They are genuinely lovely people who go above and beyond to make your stay special. They deserve every bit of positive feedback they can get and if you get the opportunity to stay here, definitely do. We will be back at the first opportunity!

Everything you could ever imagine needing was available in a drawer or cupboard. Such kindness with the welcome we received. Fire ready in the wood burner just to strike a match. Everything for a cuppa and even cake! Such attentive owners making sure we had everything we needed. It’s about 10 minutes to the local village were a corner shop and pub are. We had Sunday lunch and it was delicious. Highly recommend. Ruthin is 20 minutes away and has a small Tesco. Beautiful town with lots of quaint shops. We had a lovely week. Thank you Meryl and Arwel x

We were met with a fully loaded & ready to light fire, a fridge packed with fresh milk and eggs, full kettle ready to switch on and a lovely cake!.

Amanda October 2021

“Our holiday day experience was wonderful from start to finish.”

... we really couldn't have been made to feel more welcome by the owners. The cottage itself is brilliantly equipped, beautiful, homely, the setting is stunning and to top it off the welcome gifts so very generous and thoughtful. If you want unbroken views, fresh air and the countryside on your doorstep we honestly couldn't recommend a holiday here more highly.

- Amanda, October 2021

Cottage beautiful and owners friendly and attentive. The holiday was just what we wanted - superb location, quiet with wonderful walks with cosy and comfortable welcome on our return.

- Nicky, October 2021
Colin September 2021

“From the moment we arrived we couldn’t have wanted anything more.”

The views and cottage were amazing. The perfect location to venture out and explore the spectacular area. We had the best time as did our dog, who was completely safe in the secure garden. The cottage was extremely well equipped with an abundance of facilities for all ages, we particularly enjoyed use of the log burner with a never ending supply of logs. Not to mention the generous gifts of fruit, flowers and homemade cakes on arrival. Our hosts were extremely friendly but completely non intrusive. We enjoyed our week so much that as soon as we got home we rebooked for another week next year for the lambing season. Can’t wait to return.

- Colin, September 2021
Roger August 2021

“Beautiful cottage, very clean.”

Kitchen very well equipped. Very private, very quiet area. The flowers and fresh fruit and baked cake added a nice touch. The owners were there if we needed them. We will be staying again. This cottage is well looked after by the Owners.

Tara May 2021

“Absolutely fantastic week at Pendre Uchaf.”

Gorgeous little gem in a lovely location. I miss waking up to such gorgeous views. Couldn’t fault the cottage at all. Super duper well equipped, stunning inside & out, clean, comfy and the owners were such lovely helpful people. Really really lovely. My little boy loved helping them on their farm. (Feeding their animals!) They really did go the extra mile and kept checking to make sure we was ok. Location was fab. Set out in the Welsh countryside, but within an hour you could be at so many different places. The northern coastal resorts like Llandudno, Rhyl etc. West coastal resorts like Porthmadog, Criccith etc. Also across the border to Chester. Plenty of gorgeous places to walk. Lots of nice food pubs locally too. We would 100% return to this place.

- Tara, May 2021
Konstantinos April 2021

“Property was accurately presented.”

Benefited from a very comfortable living space with a nice wood burner that gave it a lot of charm. Bedrooms were well sized and front & rear patios great to enjoy the nice weather and great views of the surrounding land space. Hosts were very welcoming, passing by in more than one occasions to make sure everything was alright. They prepared the gas fired BBQ in request and also gave us a little tour in their lamb farm (which was great for the kids). Only small downside is that there is only one bathroom/WC available. The kitchen hen was a little bit small, but manageable and well equipped. Overall, beautiful, quiet place; glad to have found it and happy to visit again.

- Konstantinos, April 2021
Susan August 2020

“Great cottage, great location.”

Really clean and has everything you need - even to keep you occupied on rainy days. Owners very welcoming. Our children enjoyed seeing their animals and even the sheep being herded down the road. Only downside - couldn't find the swimming or fishing lake mentioned in the description!

- Susan, August 2020

“Absolutely brilliant cottage, lovely rural setting.”

Ideal spot for exploring North Wales. Property was very clean and well equipped. Kids loved the Nintendo Wii, nice touch for wet weather. The owners were very nice and happy to help. Can't wait to return next year. Especially for the homemade cake! The Sinker Family Devon.

Karen September 2019

“Large spacious property in a quite and peaceful location.”

The lawned area is a decent size, amazing views from the patio area and the reclining sofas in the sitting room are very comfortable. Plenty to see and do in the area and many good walks close by. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and take great care to make sure your stay is perfect. We would definitely recommend this property.

- Karen, September 2019
Alex August 2019

“The couple who ran the cottage were very considerate and pleasant.”

Attention to detail surrounding the beautiful individual fragrance and decoration of bedrooms. The cottage was fully stocked, with everything you could possibly need. The welcome pack, fruits, cakes, flowers etc... were a lovely touch. The surrounding location was calming. Loved it.

- Gail, April 2019
Kelly April 2019

“This is our 2nd time at Pendre Uchaf.”

Once again we have had a fantastic time. The cottage is lovely and the owners are so welcoming and helpful. It was lambing season so we watched the lambs being born from our back garden. The owners took us round the farm to see the cows, calf's and goats. We will definitely be back again soon.

- Kelly, April 2019
Ginette April 2019

“The location of the property was perfect, we enjoyed the views and the forest walks.”

The hosts are the nicest people you'll ever meet, always checking on us and making us feel very welcome. The home baked cakes and milk in the fridge on arrival started our holiday off very well. The log burner had even been lit ready for us! We would recommend the cottage 100% and would love to visit again.

- Ginette, April 2019
Wendy April 2019

“We had a brilliant stay at Pendre Uchaf a couple of weeks back (Tuesday April 2nd - Friday 5th).”

Normally we would be skiing this time of year so, of course, it snowed up at Melin-Y-Wig. We arrived with our two boys (in their early 20s) and our dog. We could not have been made more welcome - including the very thoughtful provision of tea and cake upon arrival. Meryl and Arwel popped over from time to time to make sure everything was fine - and this was much appreciated. We all agreed our time spent at Pendre Uchaf was perfect and our hosts could not have been more attentive and caring despite having to work through the night to deliver up to 70 lambs. We were even invited across to the farm before we left to have a quick look at everything that was going on - during which my wife was invited to help deliver a lamb! All this and a bit of "Countryfile" work experience thrown in! A fantastic setting and a perfect cottage. We will be back. Thank you. Chris and Wendy Barnett (Kent)

- Wendy, April 2019
Jennifer March 2019

“Our hosts went out of their way to see that we had an enjoyable stay and made us very welcome.”

The house is really nice, well kept and has everything you could possibly need. The phone signal is poor but we could get signal from the garden so it wasn't a problem. The surrounding area is lovely with lots of places to walk and enjoy the woods and countryside. I can definitely recommend it.

- Jennifer, March 2019
Alison March 2019

“Meryle & Aylwin were the best hosts ever, we had a lot of laughs with them, it was as if we've known them for years, so welcoming, went to their farm which is opposit, met the new born lambs, goats & their puppies, Meryle had tea, home made scones & cakes ready for us, she is so beautiful inside & out, Aylwin is such a clown, he was a laugh a minute, always checked in on us to see how we were doing.”

The cottage is fabulous, everything was so comfy, cosy and clean , bedrooms had everything you need, we all slept well. Took a drive to Ruthin has lots of pubs, shops & the castle was really interesting, Visited Portmerrion for the day [Prisoner] had a fabulous day there, highly recommend it, Thank you Mr & Mrs Evans for having us !!

- Alison, March 2019
Charlie November 2018

“This was the best equipped cottage we have been to and had everything we needed.”

The cake,fruit bowl and fresh flowers on arrival were a lovely touch. The only thing I would say is with children a little wooden gate across the top of the kitchen stairs would be handy and a stronger Wi-fi as there is no phone signal to be able to use for sat-nav on phones. The owners were very helpful and even let us use our own fireworks for the children. Fantastic stay.

- Charlie, November 2018
Sarah November 2018

“We would like to thank Mr & Mrs Evans for making us feel at home in there beautiful cottage, it was fab, we all had a lovely stay and cannot wait to come back, we was welcomed with homemade cake, fruit and milk and we loved it all.”

Very nice people and made us feel so welcome.

Fiona October 2018

“Greeted with cake and scones when we arrived an excellent start to our hoilday, very welcoming after a long journey.”

The photos on the web site do not do the cottage any justice, it's truly beautiful and very well equipped with everything you need and more. The owners could not have been nicer very helpful and accommodationg.

- Fiona, October 2018
Gabrielle June 2018

“Upon arrival we knew we had made the right choice, just far enough away from the outside world, this perfect spot hosted amazing views.”

The cottage itself was spacious, kitchen and bathroom was equipped with everything and even a cake was baked when we got there :) The owners are amazing, and so accommodating and friendly even went to see some of their baby animals. The towns located near are beautiful and really nice to go round. This cottage and place is somewhere we will be visiting again with out a doubt. We couldn’t recommend it enough.

- Gabrielle, June 2018
Sandra February 2018

“The owners Mr and Mrs Evans where great they left us some welcome food and stocked up on wood for burner and fire was on on arrival .”

They came down to say hi and to see if we need anything and with the snow hitting hard they offered help with farm tractor . We decided to leave day early due to snow going to hit heavier the next day . They escorted ourselves and our friends with their tractor to safety. Couldn't ask for more as think they went above and beyond x

- Sandra, February 2018

“Fantastic cottage and it was clear that the owners really cared that you had a fantastic time.”

There were little extras that went a long way(Home made victoria sponge / milk in the fridge, fire lit in readiness for our arrival) etc. The cottage was spotless and we had a superb, family break. Diolch yn fawr iawn !!!!

“This was a lovely cottage and in a great location if you enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside.”

When we arrived the owners had left a lovely Victoria sponge, scones (which tasted amazing) and fresh flowers, they even came down to make sure we had arrived ok and everything was in order. Although you could hear each other walking around the house it wasn't something that would stop us going back! It was very warm and the fire was lovely on the cold autumn evenings. We had plenty of space for the 5 of us. We will defiantly be back for another visit soon!!!

It was well presented and had nice owners who each asked were we OK and left us to our own devices. Not one negative and should be rated very highly on the tourist board rating, unsure what the property's current rating was but it was an excellent all round property and furnishings, will recommend and will go back as a family of six, had a great time.

A real home from home- everything you needed and the hosts were very friendly and keen to make sure we were comfortable. The weather was very kind most days so we were able to use the outdoor space for BBQ and long leisurely breakfasts. Lots to see and do Snowdon, Llandudno and the aquaduct at Llangollen is a must.
