Mandy September 2024

“The Lambing shed is a lovely cottage in a great location.”

It is quite secluded but near to all amenities. Can recommend Ffrith beach is visiting with dogs. A lovely walk. the cottage is also an easy drive away from Rhyl, Prestatyn, Ross on Sea and Llandudno. Andy & Andrea (the owners) are very friendly and helpful. Will be back next year

- Mandy, September 2024
Hazel July 2024

“A very comfortable cottage.”

The owners have obviously put a lot of thought into what people need in a holiday cottage. Precise directions given as it might be hard to find otherwise. Full instructions given for all appliances. Lovely shower! The location is wonderful if you like being in the countryside and not botherted about being too close to facilites. The nearest are in Dyserth about 4 miles away. We chose mainly on location as we needed to be near Rhyl without being in an urban area. So glad we picked the Lambing shed and hopefully we will return one day.

- Hazel, July 2024

For the sake of accuracy for future guests, Dyserth is 1 mile away. Two well-stocked food shops plus PO, butchers, cafe, hairdressers, pharmacy, take-aways and pub, all on the High Street, two further very good cafe/restaurant/bars (one also a music venue), and a cafe by the Waterfall Gardens, all on Waterfall Hill a further half mile away. Not being picky, just don't want people to feel the cottage is more isolated than it is, though I agree it feels it, in a good way! Property Owner
Tim June 2024

“Absolutely stunning!”

I defy anyone that doesn't decide to book this place again even before their stay is over! Just amazing. Peaceful. Quiet. OMG!! the peace!

“We had a lovely time and the owners, who live next door are very nice and friendly.”

The Lambing Shed was an excellent and comfy base for a bit of exploring the local area. My only small niggles were the TV channels were mostly glitching and unwatchable. I think we found 3 channels that worked, but on the third or fourth day we realised they had supplied a Netflix account which solved most of this. The only other thing we found was the Dishwasher was sometimes problematic and wouldn’t always turn on, when it did this - we just washed up be hand. For anyone booking the Lambing Shed in the future, they will have a lovely break, we would return without question. Although anyone booking needs to know it is located down some very Welsh single track lanes and at times can result in a long reversing manoeuvre if you are unlucky enough to come head on with another vehicle, so you need to be a competent driver, but it’s worth it.

- Jason, May 2024
Keith March 2024

“Our second visit, and the Lambing Shed was very good again !”

Only 2 problems: we couldn't get the dishwasher to work, and the last section of the approach road has deteriorated considerably, and needs a lot of holes filling-in.

- Keith, March 2024

I am very sorry that you were unable to operate the dishwasher. We did check this after your departure and found to be working perfectly. I am not sure if you consulted the instruction manual. I do apologise for the state of the road. This was severely damaged in a recent flood. This is an unadopted road and we are the only residents who maintain it. We will be doing repairs in the next few days but have had to wait for a break in the weather as otherwise the fill simply washes away before hardening. I do hope that it did not affect your stay too much and that it won't deter you from returning. Property Owner
Jeannie December 2023

“Everything was lovely.”

The cottage was warm, cosy and well equipped. The Christmas decorations were an added benefit. It was a quiet location, with the owners over the road. I can't recommend highly enough.

- Jeannie, December 2023
John November 2023

“We have stayed at the lambing shed for a number of years, it is so peaceful and is a brilliant location to walk our two dogs Meg and Kendo.”

the location is also a good base to visit most of North Wales's visitor attractions. enjoyed the stay and will be back at some point next year. regards John & Gill

- John, November 2023
Jeremy October 2023

“Great rural position of cottage next to Offas Dyke path.”

Easy to walk and cycle from and had shed for bike storage. Very well equipped kitchen and lots of maps and local leaflets and books on the surrounding areas. Milk and Welsh cakes included! Good shower, extra toilet and utility area. Comfy beds and warm rooms with individual thermostats. Large patio area, would be lovely in summer. As mentioned by others kitchen taps need changing and larger kitchen bin.

- Jeremy, October 2023
Colin October 2023

“Excellent directions.”

Beautiful location with plenty of paths for dog walking. Lovely cottage - we enjoyed our stay very much. The Owners provided lots of tourist information which was very useful. It was very dark when walking through kitchen to bedrooms with the only light switch being up the steps to the second bedroom. With having an active dog we had to keep the intervening door closed at all times. We did discover the plug-in night light which helped. Would recommend this cottage to friends and family.

- Colin, October 2023
Jane September 2023

“Fantastic property, very homely and great outdoor area.”

The single bed was a little uncomfortable but the double was fine. Lovely location and accessible to many places along the coast. Talacre Beach was only 10 minutes away and ideal for our dog. Very nice touch leaving Welsh cakes and milk for our arrival, too. Thanks, would definitely come back!

- Jane, September 2023
Deborah September 2023

“Although we really enjoyed our stay at The Lambing Shed the cleanliness really let it down and it just felt like the whole property needed a good deep clean and some of the soft furnishings replaced/updated.”

- Deborah, September 2023
Susan September 2023

“The Lambing Shed was well equipped and lovely and in such a lovely peaceful area ,the courtyard was beautiful.”

.The Shower was brilliant .Got online ok ,phone signal was a bit hit and miss the 1st day but after that ,was no problem Our 2 cockapoos, Moose and Daisy enjoyed the courtyard, I felt they were quite safe in there ,but on one occasion,Moose did manage to squeeze through the gate post at the front gates ,this was solely because my husband was on the other side waiting for a taxi ,( to watch the match at Y Bodunig Inn £15 each way ) Moose had never tried to squeeze through it before ,and he didn’t attempt it again after that one time ,but it did make me more aware .We picked a brilliant week weather wise .You obviously need a car ,but Prestatyn beach is not to far away ,and dogs are allowed on most of the beaches ,they loved running into the sea ,be careful though as there was some very large Jelly Fish . Had a lovely week and would definitely recommend The Lambing Shed ,and would definitely book here again Thank you for the Milk and Welsh Cakes Thank you for having us ,Sue ,Steve ,Moose and Daisy

- Susan, September 2023
Simon August 2023

“Lovely quiet and secluded little cottage, just right for our family of 4 and dog.”

Had everything we needed for a comfortable week away. Great outside space with large patio area but beware the ‘shared use of meadow’ is shared with sheep, so not suitable for letting the dog off lead. Nice walks from the cottage, good beaches close by (Talacre great for dog) and good pubs for eating out.

- Simon, August 2023
Gemma August 2023

“Beautiful cottage with every household item we needed to thoroughly enjoy our stay.”

The cottage had a mix of traditional and modern decor meaning the cottage was tastefully decorated and furnished but had the added benefit of newer technology that made our stay more comfortable. Great location to explore North Wales from. Most enjoyed catching the morning rays whilst eating my breakfast on the patio which had sun from morning until night and listening to the sounds of the Welsh countryside.

- Gemma, August 2023
Paul June 2023

“We had a wonderful relaxing holiday.”

The cottage is so homely and cosy. The location is so peaceful and idilic with everything you need. The owner was lovely and we highly recommend this cottage you will not be disappointed.

- Paul, June 2023
Andrew May 2023

“Wonderful property in a pleasant and quite rural area, Everything we needed was in the property didn't think once oh wish they had this or that some properties do sometimes have some of the basic facilities not available.”

Considering the location I was shocked at the broadband speed of over 360mb didn't expect anything like that speed for the location another plus point for the property in my opinion you could easily book it and use it to work remotely if you wanted to.

- Andrew, May 2023
Joy April 2023

“Our second stay in the Lambing Shed and as lovely as we remembered.”

Very comfortable quiet and relaxing. The cottage is in beautiful surroundings with an abundance of wild flowers and wildlife. The weather was also very kind to us and we were able have our aperitifs most evenings in the garden. Highly recommended.

- Joy, April 2023
Robert April 2023

“Extremely comfortable and well equipped property.”

Ideal for anyone wanting to walk the locale,and the lanes were just starting to look their spring best ,with primroses ,wild garlic ,anemones ,and early bluebells.

- Robert, April 2023
Stacey December 2022

“Such a beautiful, peaceful place to spend Christmas, it was prefect for our little family.”

We loved everything about the place, so much to do if you wanted to venture out, we spent a lot of time at the property sitting in front of the log burner watching Xmas films. The kitchen was really well equipped for us to make lots of meals including Christmas dinner. Andrea wasn’t around at the time of our visit, but she made sure we had instructions for everything and her instructions to find the lambing shed were spot on. Can’t wait to visit again

Gwyn November 2022

“Beautiful accommodation with everything we could possibly need.”

Spotlessly clean. A gorgeous log burner that was so appreciated on the cool, rainy and windy nights. Even fresh flowers on the windowsill, complimentary milk and welshcakes. We would love to return for a longer break in the future.

- Gwyn, November 2022
Sheila November 2022

Brian September 2022

“An excellent cottage - very comfortable and well equipped.”

Took a bit of finding, down single track roads. Ate at the Blue Lion Inn at nearby Cwm - excellent food and we were able to take our dogs. Definitely recommend the Lambig Shed - also the pub

- Brian, September 2022
Debbie September 2022

“Great hosts wonderful cottage a break from the hustle and bustle of a hectic working life.”

Didn’t need to take any supply for the cottage every thing was there from bin bags to hand soap. Had enough dishwasher tablets to last the week. There was a pint of milk tea coffee sugar and Welsh cakes when we got there s no need to dash to the shop. Was ideal size for us 2 x adult 2 x dogs near to every thing we love beaches was some lovely ones close by. Can recommend with pleasure delightful one week stay

- Debbie, September 2022
Stuart September 2022

“Lovely cottage in pretty and peaceful spot.”

Total relaxation and comfort.

- Stuart, September 2022
Kingsley August 2022

“Really enjoyed our holiday at the lambing shed and were fortunate With glorious sunny welsh weather!”

The cottage itself is fairly small esp the second bedroom (which suits 2 small children) but has a wonderful patio outside which is private and surrounded by the most beautiful scenery to eat alfresco and relax. The location is quiet and peaceful with lots of areas to explore by car & lovely walks from the doorstep. We didn’t feel the properly was 5 star in our opinion for a couple of reasons, 1. It wasn’t as clean as we would expect & basic supplies were limited ie 3 dishwasher tabs, tiny bin, no washing up liquid or toiletries 2. It lacks that high quality finish. Furniture is cheap & cheerful, sofa uncomfortable & Soft furnishings basic. We didn’t find it particularly comfortable or cosy and it lacks that comfortable luxury feel compared to most 5 star properties we’ve stayed (this could easily be rectified with abit of tlc & updating). This is possible down to Sykes and there rating standards not being particularly well benchmarked across there cottages. Overall we enjoyed our stay and were out most days visiting local beaches & sights. The owners were lovely & welcoming & the cottage itself and surroundings are fabulous. We would be happy to visit again in the summer and use as a bolt-hole for visiting north wales if the price was right.

- Kingsley, August 2022

Our cottage was clearly not to our customer's taste but I have already responded to the complaint about cleanliness and shortage of supplies, to apologise, as this is clearly not acceptable. We have had a word with our cleaner and will ensure this does not happen again. But some matters we cannot do much about, eg the tiny bin. It is small but fits in the under-sink cupboard. We did consider the alternative of a bin which stands in the kitchen but did not choose this option as it would block cupboards. I am grateful for the feedback however as it enables us to address the shortcomings. Property Owner
Paula August 2022

“What a wonderful place thanks again for a fabulous week.”

Keith July 2022

“A very good cottage - well equipped, and peaceful !”

- Keith, July 2022
Peter July 2022

“Second visit here after having a great time this time last year and thoroughly met expectations yet again.”

We're a family of four (two kids gaed 12 & 6) and this was perfect. The feel of being in the middle of knowhere, but a quick drive to many attractions. Beuriful cottage, very well equipped and more spacious than it appears from the photos. Will certainly return.

- Peter, July 2022
Sue July 2022

“This was just wonderful, peaceful and quiet just what we wanted.”

Felt the garden needed a bit of TLC. The outside picture of the patio area needs updating as I booked on the description of patio overlooking a lovely meadow, not possible as a hedge is there now. But this did not spoil our holiday.

- Sue, July 2022

I am grateful for this feedback. The garden did need a bit of TLC but we had been away for 5 weeks and returned at the end of this customer's stay, when we were able to remedy matters. And yes the beech hedge has grown but we do keep it at a level which allows customers to see over but prevents dogs jumping out. We will provide more up to date photos to ensure customers are aware of the conditions now. Property Owner

Stuart May 2022

“We had a great time at the Lambing Shed, being situated in the middle of no where with nature all around.”

The cottage is absolutely fabulous and the facilities are great. With great walks and attractions within short driving distance. I would highly recommend a stay at the Lambing Shed.

- Stuart, May 2022
Kim May 2022

“What a wonderful well equipped cottage.”

Was a birthday treat from our daughter. We enjoyed every moment spent there and was sorry when our few days ended. It was a very relaxing place to be and cannot thank Andrew and Angie enough for letting us stay there. Irene Thwaites

- Kim, May 2022
Lynne April 2022

“Once again this was a fantastic property to spend a week in.”

Everything has been catered for and it is very clean and comfortable. We particularly love to sit out on the patio trying to identify all the different wildlife in the vicinity. Looking forward to our next stay. Thank you!

Cheryl February 2022

“We had a great time.”

The cottage was just what we wanted. It was cosy especially when I lit the log fire. The cottage was surrounded by fields and trees and was very peaceful. I would definitely go back for another holiday.

- Sheila, February 2022
Andrea January 2022

“Road going in quite rough.”

Otherwise all great would go back.

- Andrea, January 2022

We do our best to keep the road in as reasonable condition as possible, but it is an un-adopted lane with no known owner. We are the only residents who maintain the road, at our own expense and doing the labour ourselves, despite it being used by a number of others. It was very muddy at this time, better when we have had less rain! Property Owner
Pauline November 2021

“Our stay at The Lambing Shed was excellent.”

It is such a lovely place to stay and the owners have carefully thought of everything to make it homely and comfortable. It was warm and cosy and such a welcoming place to come back to after a day of exploring. Great walks from the door but easy to get to lots of other interesting places. The ‘shed’ was well equipped, great kitchen facilities, comfy beds, generous stock of logs and lots of DVDs. It was a real home from home in a peaceful, beautiful position. Thank you for making our stay perfect. There is no doubt we will return.

- Pauline, November 2021
Lynsey November 2021

“We really enjoyed our stay at the Lambing Shed in Dyserth.”

The property is of a very high standard. It is tucked away down a narrow track but the owners gave us very clear directions on how to get there which was useful. We visited in November and storm Arwen hit the area. Unfortunately, on the last evening of our stay, there was a power cut but the owners, who live opposite, kindly checked in on us and provided batteries for torches and brought us a flask of hot water on the morning when we were checking out, even though they also were being affected by the power cut. We would recommend this property to others. Thank you.

- Lynsey, November 2021
Nicola November 2021

“Lovely private hideaway, really enjoyed our stay here.”

Clean and tidy. Supermarkets, takeaway and pubs nearby. Walks right on the doorstep and a short drive to the beach where you can walk for miles and miles.

- Nicola, November 2021
Joanne November 2021

“It’s the second time we have stayed at The Lambing Shed.”

It was just as perfect, idyllic and well equipped as the first time around. If anyone finds fault with this cottage they will find fault with anything. It’s spotlessly clean and so well equipped. The owners have thought of and provided everything needed

- Joanne, November 2021
Sheila November 2021

“Fantastic cottage with all amenities, clean and comfortable, peaceful and relaxing.”

- Sheila, November 2021
Mark October 2021

“Lovely, secluded property maintained to a very high standard.”

Easily accommodated 4 adults and a toddler having ample indoor and outdoor space. The equipment in the property was perfect, even for the toddler with high chair, cot and stair gate. Close to all North Wales attractions and amenities, it’s in an ideal location to explore from. Beaches at Talacre, Prestatyn, Frith and Colwyn Bay all excellent. Whilst stopping there was a smoke alarm problem which was quickly resolved by the Owner (even though in Canada). For food the Crown at Trelawnyd was excellent and The New Inn at Dyserth good.

- Christine, July 2021
Peter July 2021

“Amazing cottage in an amazing location.”

We are a family of four with two kids aged 11 and 5 and this was perfect. They had their own comfy room whilst we had a very spacious double room. Pictures don't really do it justice - it's much bigger than it looks and the facilities and provisions far exceeded anywhere we've stayed before. Large outdoor area for playing, eating and entertaining guests in a very peaceful setting. Owners popped over once to check everything was Ok and made us feel at home. They're just across the road, but you wouldn't know it as the cottage and most of the rooms/patio area are to the rear, making it feel very private. First day there, we decided we were going to come back next year - can't say much more than that.

- Peter, July 2021
Deborah July 2021

“The Lambing Shed had everything we needed, even down to sun loungers.”

Clean, ideal location for exploring North Wales. We would stay again for sure.

- Deborah, July 2021

- Ray, June 2021
Gordon June 2021

“The only draw back is the narrow access road and some users drive too fast as they apparently do not consider other people may be using the road in the opposite direction.”

- Gordon, June 2021
Michelle June 2021

“Beautiful cottage, beautiful weather!”

! The cottage was equipped with everything you need. I’ve never been to a place that was so tranquil and all you could hear were the birds singing and the water from the stream. Our dog loved the outdoor space and it was secure. We hope to go back in the future. Thank you Andrea and Andrew.

- Michelle, June 2021
Joanna May 2021

“It was so peaceful and comfortable.”

Had everything you needed. Our dog loved the walks right on your door step. Didn't want to go home.

- Joanna, May 2021

“We loved our stay in the Lambing Shed.”

The cottage is absolutely lovely, clean, everything available & well catered for families. We enjoyed using the outdoor toys & choosing a movie to watch in the evening! The surrounding area has some fab walks to explore. We will definitely book a stay at the Lambing Shed again

- Natalie, May 2021

Claire April 2021

“Staying at The Lambing Shed you will want for nothing.”

Great attention has been paid to providing everything that you could possibly need while on holiday. It has all of the appliances you need to make staying here really easy. The owners are on hand without being over-bearing and we arrived to find fresh spring flowers, plenty of wood for the wood burner, milk in the fridge and welshcakes too! The outside area allows you to make the most of any sunshine in peace and quiet and we visited Anglesey and Snowdonia during our stay. Fabulous and highly recommended.

- Claire, April 2021
Lucy November 2020

“We loved our break at The Lambing Shed.”

Sitting outside at night with hot coffee looking at the stars or lovely walks with the dog. Evenings spent in front of a log fire and a good book. We would love to return and have already recommended this holiday home to colleagues.

- Lucy, November 2020
Carole September 2020

“We really enjoyed our stay at the Lambing Shed.”

Andrew and Andrea were on hand to help with any queries. Andrew had very kindly made the garden completely safe for our little Yorkshire terrier which was greatly appreciated. We had a wonderful time - a lovely place to relax with everything you would need and lovely walks on the doorstep. We would love to visit again when times allow.

- June, March 2020
Hazel February 2020

“Great place to relax and unwind.”

Garden was secure so my dog didn't get out if he'd wanted to. Door on the shower would have been better and better lighting in the kitchen, but that's my personal preference.

- Hazel, February 2020
Cheryl February 2020

“Very relaxed stay.”

We were unfortunate to visit during Storm Dennis, but had everything we needed and managed to get out and about without any issues. Great spot if you like walking and the peace and quiet.

- Cheryl, February 2020
Michael February 2020

“We had a wonderful time, despite the appalling weather.”

The only advantage/problem (choose which is appropriate) was that storm Ciara had brought down a tree which damaged the line so sadly (he he) there was no internet or wifi. What a blessing. The owners daughter was on the ball but it could not be fixed by BT during our stay. Lovely cottage, well equipped, comfortable and cosy. Would recommend to anyone.

- Michael, February 2020
Yvonne January 2020

“Great location, close to Rhyl and Prestatyn but still in a lovely secluded spot with great walks.”

The house was really clean and everything we needed was provided. The log burner was very cosy. I loved the before and after pictures. We really enjoyed our stay at the Lambing Shed.

Richard October 2019

“Lovely secluded location without all the noise of a normal holiday cottage.”

When we arrived down a winding country lane and saw the Lambing shed we new we had booked the right place. The cottage was everything it said it was and that little bit more. We met the owners who advised us on some places to walk the dogs and after taking their advice we can now see why people liked it so much. Will be looking at booking again and won’t hesitate informing others about how much they will enjoy the cottage and the location

- Richard, October 2019

Chris August 2019

“We really enjoyed our time at The Lambing Shed - a lovely, secluded, peaceful place to stay.”

The cottage was lovely and had every home comfort we would ever need. There were woodland walks on the doorstep which we & our dogs enjoyed and we were within a few miles from tourist attractions and other places of interest.

- Chris, August 2019

The lambing shed is great for peace and quiet. The wifi worked just fine had no problems at all. We would look forward to going a third time.

- Joyce, February 2019
Maria November 2018

“Like I grade the cottages was lovely but we pay £334 where it said will include the Wi-Fi but it never work, on our 3rd day we stay without shower.”

So we report to the landlord on the 1st dat of our stay regarding the wi-fi he try to fixed by himself but it never work and the shower happen on the 3rd day we reported and he try to fix it by himself and yeah he find out the issue order the part and on our 5th day he came to replace the part. So its like we understand things happen but in our opinion go and aak some expert's to come and fix it for you. They even offered us to go to the main house to have showers but we didn t feel comfortable to do that. We had our landlord around a lot of times. But the cottage and the location was lovely.

“The road to the Lambing shed is OK until you run of the tarmac road onto a rutty, potholed road for a bout a quarter of mile, to rough to go for walks as we have arthritic hips and knees and not able to use wheelchair on this roadway, pleasant outlook good views very quite.”

Simon August 2018

“This is an amazing property, the photos do not do it justice!”

Very quiet location, but owners on hand nearby if you need them. The cottage had everything we needed, very well equipped and we even learned how to play chess (badly). The kids loved seeing the sheep and horses in the fields every day, and the patio was lovely to sit out on with a glass of wine in the evenings or a coffee in the morning. The log burner was great to watch on the cooler evenings, but we were reasonably lucky with the weather for the week we stayed. Lots of attractions within short driving distance. We definitely recommend this property for couples of families who just want to get away from it all.

- Simon, August 2018
Robert July 2018

“The cottage was exce!”

!ent but having paid a lot of money for it, we were very disappointed with the television picture. At times it was completely unwatchable and kept breaking up, especially for the England football game. I think the owners should sort this.

- Robert, July 2018
Christine May 2018

“Could not have wished for better.”

The accommodation was spotlessly clean, all the rooms were well decorated and comfortable, the shower room was excellent and you are provided with lots of towels. Everything you need is in the kitchen including plenty of dishes and cutlery. There is an iron, ironing board and hairdryer, loads of DVD's to suit all tastes and games, crayons etc The WiFi is not very good and we were unable to get a connection while there but that was not really an issue The accommodation is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of resort life and close enough to all the attractions not only within the local area but beyond depending on how far you wish to travel The only sound you hear is the occasional snort of the horses in the field opposite, the bleating of the sheep in the field behind the patio and the birds. The patio is a sun trap and weather permitting you could bask all day if you wanted. I would deffinatley recommended a stay at the Lambing Shed and will be going back Well done the owners 20/10 excellent

- Christine, May 2018
Mandy April 2018

“A fantastic cottage.”

Andrea and Andy ( The owners) were very helpful and friendly. Our dogs loved being able to run free in the field next to the cottage. The cottage is nicely secluded but not too far away from everything. Will be returning to The Lambing Shed in the future.

Zoe February 2018

“The cottage is set in a wonderful location and is home away from home!”

We unfortunately was snowed in for nearly a week but even so that didn't ruin our holiday!

- Zoe, February 2018
Muriel February 2018

“The only reason I would not rebook is I was a bit wary of driving back to the cottage in the dark”

- Muriel, February 2018
David February 2018

“The directions to the cottage are extremely accurate and precise, please don't try any other route.”

The cottage is very private and quite isolated, just what we wanted. We only saw one of the owners once, and 2 ladies on horseback in the whole week. This is probably one of the best sites on Sykes Cottages.

- David, February 2018
Emma November 2017

“The Lambing Shed is a very comfortable, well equipped cottage.”

We (2 adults, 2 children aged 4 & 5 and 2 small dogs) stayed just for a weekend which wasn’t long enough. We would definitely like to stay there again hopefully for a bit longer next time with fingers crossed better weather!

- Emma, November 2017
Susan November 2017

“The cottage is like home from home with lots of additional extras which you normally have to bring with you ie hairdryer hand wash tea towels etc - lovely furnishings and comfy beds - the garden is not fully secure for a dog (we took a long lead) but the owners have thought of this and put an extendable lead which can be tethered in a few placed in the garden.”

There is a washing machine, dyer, iron, ironing board etc everything you dont want to use on your holiday but may need in an emergency :) Its in a very tranquil place and would love to visit again in the summer

“We have just had a fantastic holiday at the lambing shed excellent for comfort cleanliness and quality furnishings a real home from home feeling.”

- Barry, September 2016
Keith August 2016

“We have just returned from a weeks holiday in the Lambing Shed which we thoroughly enjoyed.”

The cottage and facilities description were accurate, which had enabled us to select this property to meet our needs, mainly walking and somewhere to totally relax on an evening. The cottage was immaculately clean, with everything you could require for a week away from home. The location was quiet, with the patio area secure to enable our dog the freedom to go outside when he felt the need. Prestatyn and Rhyl are only 4 miles away(with excellent clean beaches to walk the dog), and Snowdon less than an hours drive. We collected a free walkers guide for the area from the tourist information in Rhyl, which detailed numerous walks around the area. I cannot recommend the Lambing shed enough, and we will certainly be returning next year.

- Keith, August 2016
Angela August 2016

- Peter, December 2015
Patricia November 2015

“Everything - the location and the cottage was wonderful.”

The photos on the web site (although good) do not do it justice. The cottage had everything that was required and more. Lots of walks right outside the door (great for the dog). Would love to go back sometime in the future to this gem of a cottage.

- Patricia, November 2015

“The quality of the accommodation exceeded our expectations.”

The peaceful, secluded location with its large, well-furnished patio and adjoining meadow provided enjoyment in itself whenever we took a rest from the sometimes hectic exploration and sightseeing of the beautiful and exciting N.Wales coast and countryside. All that and the unseasonal hot weather all helped to make it the perfect, balanced holiday experience.

“I would highly recommend this property and can't wait to book it again.”

Overall the holiday was perfect from the initial greeting from the owners, lovely touches; milk in the fridge, Welsh cakes and meadow flowers. The property itself is beautiful and the owners have thought of everything to ensure a memorable stay including giant Jenga, dominoes and 3 metre dog lead attached on the patio. Loved the patio area and the children loved the stream at the bottom of the meadow. I can't fault this property had an amazing time relaxing and enjoying the beautiful area of Dyserth didn't want to come home and my 10 year old twins said it was one of the best holidays they've ever had and it was lovely to watch them being kids in a safe and beautiful environment.
