Treetops

Sadly first impressions weren’t great.

What attracted us to the property was the balcony so on arrival we headed straight to it, it had not been cleaned nor arranged. Furniture was all pushed to the side,they looked broken and very dirty…even a rusted hair grip stuck on the table. A total of 11 seats and 3 tables were just shrewd around. We did actually tidy it and sweep it ourselves . Under piles of leaves we came across a lid of a gas can and other bits. It felt uncared for and definately not cleaned up and not inviting. As we entered the house there was an awful smell…I thought it was damp as it was like an old house sort of smell. The air freshener we found there well one was empty and the other smelt awful.i actually bought a reed diffuser but it didn’t help much. Everytime we came back to the cabin there was a smell hit us. The last couple of days I thought the smell could be coming from the bathroom as if I shut the bathroom door …and May I add that was no easy task as it doesn’t close without a lot of effort which the owners must already be aware of….the smell would be very strong in the bathroom. Talking of the bathroom we couldn’t use the bath as the hot water comes on for a bout 20 seconds then runs cold then it will run warm then hot but then cold again so the bath water would be Luke warm….showers you can tolerate that but not a bath. The furniture well we had to move the chair into the spare room to allow us to open the table..way too much furniture it felt like it was being used to store stuff ,also on top of the wardrobe we were laying in bed looking at the owners suitcases..we actually moved them to the other room and one was full of stuff as it was heavy. There was no welcome pack, no information on the site opening times ,what there was, directions to dog walks…nothing at all. There was just stickers stuck up …don’t …do…and replace etc. sadly there wasn’t one saying the door self locks. The door did self lock and we were told to always leave key in the box…I personally wouldn’t feel safe leaving it in the box while we were in. The cleaner also said the door had done it to her so maybe there should have been a note on that. The sofas are so worn in you sink in the middle. The whole place seemed like it needed some TLC…I think the light switch said it all ..a pen lid had been put to fix it. It wasn’t all bad infact I do have to say it was clean inside and the kitchen was really well equipped and very clean. But due to the smell and state of the balcony it felt not nice and we struggled to get cosy. At one stage I did consider looking to stay somewhere else as we didn’t enjoy coming back after a day out ,as I said it was clean but it was the smell, no bath and uncomfortable sofas. I had envisioned us sitting reading on the balcony wrapped up in our coats with a cup of tea but it was just too dirty and not a nice place to be. I understand it was the end of season but it was our holiday and it seemed uncared for and really not as the pictures portrayed it. The dining table certainly wouldn’t fit and the balcony was definately not set out to be used It was the first place we have stayed at where asi said there was absolutely no information ,just a few stickers stuck on things .a welcome pack would of been so much nicer just with the household and site information in it and local shops etc and a few pamphlets where to eat etc. As I said it was the end of season maybe that’s why it felt so neglected …but it was our holiday

Great property, easy to find and a nice quiet location.

Great for access to north wales and the many activities there

Lovely lodge in a quiet spot.

Everything you need for your holiday clean and well decorated. Lovely furnishing and a great location to explore what North Wales has on offer. The site is amazing and the cafe on site Route 66 offers great food at reasonable prices, if you don't fancy cooking. My grandson particularly liked the pancakes, strawberries and Nutella spread for breakfast
