We had a lovely stay in Cae Haidd. The property had everything you needed for a comfortable week's stay, with lots of little extras. It was incredibly peaceful, with just the sheep to see from our property, but only ten minutes drive to Wrexham for any amenities. There is so much to see and do nearby, we enjoyed visits to National Trust property ErRead moreddig, Chester zoo, the Fforest Coaster at Zipworld and the British Ironworks. Hide

We had a wonderful week at Cae Haidd. Our two boys loved visiting the animals each day and helping to feed the pigs was a treat. Great location with so much to do. Very comfortable and well equipped. We cant wait to come back next year!

Lovely rural retreat, excellent for families with lots of attractions near by such as Chester Zoo. Hosts were very accommodating and our children loved feeding the pigs and chickens. The cottage is finished to a high standard with lovely towels and bedding.

The cottage was very clean and had everything anyone would need for a stay. Eggs, bread and milk, sugar,tea and coffee all awaited you- especially welcome after a long car journey in the heat. There were also towels, blankets, toy and treats for the dogs. Steps from the cottage into the lawned garden were quite steep and may prove a little difficulRead moret for those with mobility issues but delightful area to sit and have a drink of a warm day whilst watching the lambs play.

The kitchen is fully equipped and you can cook a roast dinner if you wanted. The owner goes an extra mile by providing a gift pack, slippers, snuggly blankets and toiletries. Even the dogs dont get left out, as there are blankets, towels, toys and even treats for your furry friend. Theres even a toy box for children. There are lovely country walks Read moreand we have a nice pub lunch at Tyn Y Capel. This place is absolutely amazing, and will book again for next year. Hide

Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Generous off road parking. WiFi not the best (or, really good if you want off grid), so make sure you have a good mobile contract if you need it. Hosts are very thoughtful and could not be more helpful.

Fantastic accommodation and hosts, couldn't imagine a better holiday away from the hustle and bustle of life. Relaxing yet a great choice of places to visit just a short drive away. Two great pubs with food within walking distance. Cannot recommend this destination enough.

Great place to stay, cosy and spacious. Enclosed Garden area was great and safe for our dog. The owners are very friendly, accommodating and have vast knowledge of the local attractions. Staying in the country side added to our experience, looking forward to our next stay and firing up the bbq.
