Cottage isn’t far from Denbigh where there are big supermarkets and nice shops cafes etc. Cottage is comfortable with everything you need to have an enjoyable break. Friendly pub, just down the drive at the bottom of the hill. All dog friendly. Highly recommendable.
The cottage is very homely and has everything you need to cater for yourself.
Very well equipped,there was nothing we didn’t have. We were able to visit lots of the surrounding towns and beaches from this great location. Had some snowfall while we were there and the hills and mountains were stunning! Would definitely recommend this place and would happily go back.
It has my 3 ‘must have’ requirements, a log burner, a dishwasher and a welcome for my little rescue cat. The owners Gwynfor and Eleri are lovely people, so helpful but not intrusive. We had a great week, (in November), no snow this year! The cottage is warm and comfortable, it has everything you need for a great holiday.
Great central area to travel all around to days out. Would absolutely recommend this holiday home.
Jazz & Todd, our two pups are always happy to discover new places and Popty Bach was perfectly suited for them to relax after a hard days walking round the delights of North Wales (we were also grateful to return to such a cosy cottage at the end of the day, kick off the walking boots, open a bottle of wine, sit back and enjoy the sounds of nature away from the normal everyday stresses). Its central location is perfect for touring, travelling to places like Caernarfon, Llandudno, Chester, Llanberis to name just a few was easy and the views were always stunning. We can also recommend dropping by the The Old Bakery Tearoom in Henllan to enjoy some great food. Gwynfor & Eleri were extremely welcoming and it was always a joy to see Meg trotting towards us tail wagging to welcome us 'home' at the end of the day. All in all, a perfect holiday.
The garden was beautiful and fully enclosed for our two dogs (Vizslas) Nearby dog friendly local pub, all the locals made us welcome. The owners of this cottage really nice people, accessible at bottom of the lane but not intrusive. Weather was great so sat in garden every night until 9pm, blissful peaceful evenings because you feel like you are secluded. Visited many nice places all about 30 mins away. All in all a perfect holiday, in a perfect cottage. Think it will be extra cosy in there in winter with the log burner going. Can't wait to go back!
Dog was able to safely be allowed in garden to sit in sun. Near to some exceptional castles and easy to access North Wales coast and a lovely place to come home to in the evening.
Perfect accommodation which totally suited our needs.
Popty Bach was clean spacious comfortable and very well equipped we loved the enclosed garden (perfect for our dogs). The king sized bed was so comfortable like falling asleep on a giant marshmallow and it was lovely opening the door to the Juliette balcony and watching the lambs frolicking in the fields beyond the garden. So many places to visit in this area Colwyn Bay Conway and Llangollen Canal to name but a few. Sure we will return to this lovely peaceful cottage soon.
We would definitely return here.
Once settled in we were 'snowed in from Friday to Wednesday, but what a lovely place to sit in front of a log burner, watching the snow!! Weve promised ourselves a trip back in better weather to see more of the area, its beutifull. The owners could not have been more helpful, we had a great time.
Everything went very smoothly and we all had a lovely time.
Close to Denbigh with all facilities and several good National Trust properties close by. We felt the only omission was an ironing board and iron.
The cottage was simply "Perfection". It was in an idyllic position, with no passing traffic, a large garden for our Italian Spinone dog. Such a peaceful place to relax and unwind, and the silence was deafening, such a change from one's everyday life. If you go there, just stand still and listen....not a sound and the sun-rise was so beautiful every morning. The cottage had lovely crockery, lovely comfortable sofa, and a king-size bed in a large bedroom with views over the surrounding fields. All the china, the blankets, the shower, the fridge-freezer were high class and smart but extremely comfortable. The owners had gone to a lot of trouble to get Popty Bach so perfect. They live nearby if you needed any advice about the area etc., but were unobtrusive, and lovely to talk to. The Inn within walking distance had lovely food and were dog-friendly, in fact everyone was so friendly too. We just loved our stay at Popty Bach, and we enjoyed a day at Old Colwyn Bay, walking along the beach, again a dog-friendly area. All in all, Popty Bach was a memorable holiday for all the right reasons. Thank you once more to the owners....and to Sykes Cottages. We would love to return!
Very dog friendly and a secure area too.
The furnishings and layout of the property were great; it was also great to relax in the garden. The location was a good base for visiting family and friends in the area. Highly recommended.
Fantastic location for exploring, beautiful cottage that has been furnished thoughtfully and very comfortably. Secure garden for our dog. The owners and their dog Meg are lovely. This is definitely somewhere we plan on staying at again in the future. Thank you for a great holiday.
Owners of cottage were extremely hospitable and helpful in advising areas of interest with beautiful scenery.
Excellent central location. Real gems of Denbigh Castle and the Clwydian Hills. The cottage was peaceful and quiet with good privacy. Local pub was very good and within easy walking distance.
