Glan Morfa Lodge Retreat

"???? Peaceful Setting, Some Practical HiccupsWe arrived at the cottage and were pleased to find it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was lovelyquiet, scenic, and ideal for a relaxing break.Unfortunately, our first evening was disrupted when we discovered the oven had no power just as we were about to heat our homemade lasagna. After isolating the affected sockets, we contacted the managing company. The initial response was less than helpful, and it took some persistence to get someone sent out. Although we were told help would arrive in 20 minutes, it took closer to 50. That said, the person who came was extremely helpful and managed to restore power, despite not being an electrician.We also asked about heating, as the cottage felt chilly at times. We were told it was warm enough and that the heating would come on via the thermostatbut this never happened during our stay.A few small touches could make a big differenceperhaps some welcoming items or a guide to help guests settle in more smoothly. Despite the hiccups, the cottage itself has great potential and we did enjoy the peaceful surroundings."

"Wren cottage is perfect for 2 large bedroom and bathroom, stunning view from lounge window, could do with a few more knives and cooking equipment but was adequate."

"I never write bad reviews but this was unbelievably disappointing for how much was paid. It was close to newborough forest which is why we visited. No information on check in or check out other than times, I contacted the place advising I was arriving and all they said was to go to reception which they dont have. It was advertised to have a hot tub, it didnt. I was booked in blackbird cottage which on arrival found out didnt exist so I asume I was put up in Goldfinch cottage as a last minute accommodation. It was advertised as having WiFi , it didnt. The place was dirty, dead flowers in the windowsill, dirty mugs, everywhere was dusty. There was no barbecue which was also advertised. A man shown up unexpectedly to install WiFi on our last evening with no warning from staff, its a good thing we were in the accommodation at that point. We all only had 1 towel each, they only gave two toilet rolls and two bin bags, there was a small amount of shampoo and shower gel, all of which was meant to last 4 grown adults. I paid £400 for 2 nights and Im sure there is stuff Im mising but this was 100% not worth the money."

"We had such a great weekend here! The place was just perfect for what we needed and were already planning to return. Our dogs absolutely adored the underfloor heating, especially Luna who couldnt stop wagging her tail - she even strained it! The garden was a hit and everyone left happy. Definitely recommend for a cosy getaway with pets!"

"Our Glan Morfa Lodge Retreat review: We had such a lovely stay at this cottage! The owners were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help us with everything. The place itself is adorable, with that charming half-timbered style and a really good shower. The cosy kitchen and comfy bed made us feel right at home. Parking right outside was super convenient and the place was spotless and nicely heated. Perfect base for exploring Thaxted and the beautiful surrounding walks!"

"We had a lovely stay! The place was super peaceful, perfect for relaxing and our dogs loved it."

"When we first arrived, the cottage was freezing and felt quite sparse - no curtains, just blinds, which was a bit surprising. The bathroom looked a bit tired, with exposed pipes and some holes in the walls, so not quite what we expected. The kitchen was pretty poorly stocked for a cottage meant for four; there was only one spoon, a few tired teaspoons and mismatched wine glasses. No table mats or can opener either, which was a bit disappointing. On the plus side, its really peaceful and perfect for a quiet retreat. The WiFi was solid and there was a decent selection of TV channels. Once we turned on the heating, it warmed up quickly and stayed cosy. Loved the high ceilings and exposed beams - really charming touches!"

"The cottage was very cold when we arrived and furnishings were sparse (no curtains only blinds. The bathroom looked tired, with exposed pipes and a couple of holes in the walls.The kitchen was very poorly stocked, not what we have experienced from Hoseason properties previously. An example being in a cottage for 4 there was 1 spoon, 3 tired looking teaspoons, 2 mismatched wine glasses, no table mats and no can opener - all fairly basic homely expectations.Positives:Its lovely and quiet, it really is a retreat. Good wifi signal and selection of TV options. Once the heating was on, the cottage warmed up quickly and was easy to keep warm.The cottage has lovely high ceilings and exposed beams, the furnishing were tastefully done."

"We had a lovely stay at Goddard's Mead! Rob and Sharon really put a lot of effort into beautifully restoring this historic building and it shows. They made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived, along with Bonnie, of course. The location is perfect for exploring Essex - we enjoyed wandering around Thaxted and the nearby villages, soaking up the charm and history. Definitely a place we'd recommend for a relaxing break!"

"We had such a lovely stay in this peaceful spot, tucked away in a really private area. The hosts were super friendly and always on hand if we needed anything, but we still felt totally secluded. The hot tub was just what we needed after a long day of cycling - absolute bliss! The only thing to note is that the cottage is right under the flight path at Stansted, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but honestly, it didnt ruin our trip at all. Wed definitely go back!"

"We loved the cosy cottage, stunning views and spotless everything. Truly a gem!"

"We stayed at this charming cottage and really enjoyed the peaceful vibe. The hot tub was a lovely touch. Just a heads up about the night-time planes!"

"We stayed at Wren Cottage and really enjoyed it. The location was perfect and it had all the essentials we needed. A few small issues like a broken knife, a chipped cup and a sour smell from the fridge couldve been sorted before our arrival. Still, wed definitely come back!"

"We had a lovely stay, the place was so peaceful and perfect for our doggos! Would come back."

"This place is a real gem! It's tucked away enough to feel private, yet still close to everything you need. The hot tub is a highlight and the underfloor heating kept us super cosy. Rob and Sharon are lovely hosts and Bonnies adorable. Can't wait to return for a longer stay!"

"We had a fantastic time at Glan Morfa Lodge! The cottage was spotlessly clean, modern and felt really cosy. Anglesey itself is stunning, with so many beaches-long sandy stretches and quaint bays with rock pools-perfect for exploring. We brought our dog along and there were plenty of woodl and walks nearby. The scenery is breathtaking and there's so much for families to enjoy. We packed a lot into our short break and would definitely come back!"
