  I spoke to the Owner of the property before we were due to go regarding parking because my husband is registered disabled he has COPD and mobility issues.

  He is unable to walk very far and has to use 2 walking sticks.She told us we could park anywhere in the car park but there was a designated car space immediately outside the property which did have in huge letters NO PARKING. One day we had only gone out for a short while we came back and couldn't park the car in that spot. The car park was full. I phoned the owner who came with another lady who had parked there as well and apologized saying there was a big Golf tournament on plus a funeral. Now I respect all funerals but I didnt like being made to feel guilty I was complaining. Its no excuse to parking in a designated car space for that property. I was told it doesn't really happen. The next day we went out again and we couldn't park again due to some one parking a Golf buggy in the same designated space. I phoned the Owner again who had it removed straight away. During our stay we noticed on occasions the Golf club car park does indeed get quite full. Although there is room out side on the road to park. I should imagine in the high summer season the car park would get really full too. There was another two times I had to phone the Owner because on arrival there was no internet connection and the power went of in the property on the Friday morning . Both were rectified very soon by the Owner who was really nice and very friendly and very welcoming. A lovely Lady. We liked the property very much. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable and had all we needed. We would very much like to book again to stay in this property but with the parking issues especially if your Disabled. Unfortunately we will not book again.

  On arrival, out of respect, I took my shoes off but unfortunately the carpet in the bedroom was soaking wet.

  When discussed with staff, they said it had been deep cleaned prior to us arriving. The cabin was clean and well presented but unfortunately with the carpet being so wet, there was a strong damp smell throughout. The shower was cold. This was mentioned to the reception staff, no one came to sort it. Due to having PTSD, I have a service dog. I explained this to staff but unfortunately this wasn’t passed down and I was repeatedly questioned by multiple staff (some lovely, some not so kind) about this even though she had her labelled harness on. Unfortunately, 1 member of the bar staff was extremely rude- when I went to the bar to get a drink she was standing with her work colleague, looked me up and down and said to her work colleague ‘You can sort that one’. There was a dog roaming around outside the cabins, pooing everywhere which the owner didn’t clean up even though there are lots of dog bins. I had to point this out to staff. I refuse to pick up other people’s dogs poo. On leaving, there were two males sat in their car on the carpark right outside reception smoking very strong cannabis. Marian staff were seen walking past the car but nothing was mentioned. The car parking spaces were small and the disabled parking spaces were small too, there was only 4 and were being used by people in large trucks with no blue badges displayed. As a disabled badge owner, this is extremely frustrating!! I would like to say on a positive note- Jason the handyman was an absolute godsend and I wished I got to thank him before we left.

  There are many good things to say about Fairways and these are our observations: 1.

  Guests should be aware that the bungalow is immediately adjacent to the golf clubhouse and whilst the golfers are quiet they do walk past your front door to get to their changing rooms. There is no late night noise. Guests are free to use the clubhouse bar and restaurant, the food is the usual golf club fare. I cannot speak for the course but it is in a good setting and looks well maintained 2. There is no wardrobe in the twin room and no room to install one. A second wardrobe could be put in the main bedroom. 3. The super king size bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable and the room spacious. The lounge is also comfortable and spacious. 4. In the kitchen there is no freezer and no frozen food compartment in the fridge. We stay in many holiday cottages and there seems to be an assumption that guests will either eat out or bring in takeaways or ready meals. The pots and pans are sufficient but otherwise if you wish to cook a meal from scratch you will need to bring everything, from a sharp knife to salt and pepper. Remember also to bring fresh milk and immediate provisions as there is no convenience store within walking distance. A big Tesco, Aldi and Lidl are within 5 minutes drive. 5. The garden is small but secure and the grass is artificial, it took our dog a little while to get used to it! There is a very good walk down the public footpath which runs immediately next to the bungalow. We enjoyed our stay and you will too if you factor in the above.

  A well equipped comfortable cottage just inside Wales.

  The kitchen is well appointed with a new electric range cooker and all the other mod cons needed. Full instructions for use are also provided unlike some cottages. Main bedroom is large with a very comfortable bed, the galley nature of this was barely noticeable as there were just the two of us, although I can see that if you came with a family you would want to use the curtain provided to give some privacy. The bathroom is perfectly adequate if somewhat compact. The property was well cleaned and ready on our arrival. The sighting of the cottage was perfect for visiting Llangollen with it's steam railway and canal/aqueducts, both of which are recommended visits, Bala and its lake and railway, Chester with it's Roman history as well as Shrewsbury and Welshpool. The village stores locally and in Chirk are good as are the butchers in Llangollen and Chirk. Our only real criticism was the on road parking which although adequate in itself made it difficult to turn around without using nearby driveways which we were asked not to do. Other than that a good place to stay and one we could use again in the future.

  We didn't think it was as clean as it might have been, particularly the floors.

  The "fridge/freezer" was in fact just a fridge with a very small freezer compartment within and one fridge shelf was missing - difficult to store very much. Bedroom curtains were very thin and flimsy and there was a very bright security light shining through from the golf club car park so it was almost like daylight all night ! A new shower cubicle had replaced the bath, which was OK but there was nowhere to put soap/shampoo/etc anywhere except on the floor - very inconvenient just for the sake of a soap dish ! There was some daytime noise due to proximity of the golf club but, surprisingly, it was quiet at night despite the outside bar and restaurant behind. There was no landline and the mobile signal was intermittent but the wifi was excellent and so was the TV system with Amazon Prime and Netflix both installed.
