    “On first arriving was a disappointing start as we were informed that the outside lights were not working.”

    Not helpful when check in is after 4 and you’d daughter has mobility issues, this issue was not addressed for the duration of our stay despite raising the issue again with all the rest of the problems. The cabin looked nice enough but things soon started to go wrong. The freezer wasn’t turned on for our arrival, which meant that some of our food defrosted and had to be thrown away, the main doors bolt for the stable door was held in with tissue so that instantly fell out, the fridge door ...

    Not helpful when check in is after 4 and you’d daughter has mobility issues, this issue was not addressed for the duration of our stay despite raising the issue again with all the rest of the problems. The cabin looked nice enough but things soon started to go wrong. The freezer wasn’t turned on for our arrival, which meant that some of our food defrosted and had to be thrown away, the main doors bolt for the stable door was held in with tissue so that instantly fell out, the fridge door won’t stay closed, we went out for the day and returned to it open resulting in more wasted food, the pots and pans had not been cleaned properly after the previous guests and were unusable as they were disgusting, this was rectified by the owner but sadly the pots were from b&m and the coating came off the bottom and mixed into our food. The cooker was faulty and again we informed the owner who came out tried to light the problem ring and said oh we’ve had problems with this before but it was left not fully working. We were offered £50 as compensation for not being able to cook Christmas dinner in the cabin Everything was dirty old and tired, there was clothes still in the wardrobes and drawers when we arrived, old food left in the kitchen cupboards and lots of items and dust under the bed. All in all the location is wonderful and with some tlc the cabin could be amazing but given all the issues we left early feeling ripped off and very disappointed

    - Louise, December 2024

    Thankyou for your response and feedback. We are a little bewildered saying you left early as we saw you stayed for the full week duration. Even asked for an extra night, however we couldn’t accommodate that night due to day change over. We did inform you prior to stay of the outside lights and extra large torch left. We aim to get it fixed once snow melts. We apologise the freezer was turned off, it will double checked for the future. We appreciate you fed back some issues 4days into your stay and we aim to fix asap hence coming the following morning. From this; We permanently screwed the stable doors together. We demonstrated how the fridge door needs to be shut gently otherwise it will bang open. We have now put a latch on. We apologise for the 1 pot and 2 oven trays. But as we looked through the rest of the cooking facilities they appeared ok and showed you where the tin foil is kept in the drawer. We got a number of new pots, pans and trays for your stay. They do come from B and M as we do get through a number of utensils. We apologise that one hob didn’t work, hence the compensation and this will be looked at again. Luckily the 3 other hobs, grill, oven, microwave and toaster work. If issues of cleanliness are highlighted during the stay we would be happy to return to put right. Likewise with the other issues. The cleaners and myself do try our best to clean and dust the property to a satisfactory standard. Unfortunately some must of been missed and these areas will be looked at more in the future.

The property

Llangollen 6.6 miles.

Y Caban is a single-storey, rustic wooden lodge set on the Chirk Castle estate, in a secluded position just above the market town of Llangollen.

Providing a real sense of semi outdoor living, Y Caban is a great opportunity to get in touch with the elements with all the mod cons of this century on hand.

Enjoying rural views, character features and off-road parking, Y Caban is an excellent choice for families looking to come together and holiday in this part of Wales.

Spend your down time in the open-plan living space, serving as the social hub of the home, where you can lounge on the settees beside the wood burner and catch-up on the day’s events whilst the designated chef takes over the country style kitchen, equipped with all the mod cons required for a short stay.

Serve up culinary delights at around the cosy dining table before heading into the games room for fresh air and fun for the remainder of the evening.

As the night grows dark, choose from three neat double bedrooms to catch some rest, serviced by a bathroom with choice of roll-top bath and walk-in shower.

Surrounding the lodge are spacious grounds and lawns where you can enjoy family games whilst your canine companions stretch their legs, but please be mindful of sheep in neighbouring fields.

Embark on a scenic stroll from the door, making the most of the hillside, rural trails spanning across acres of scenery; within a mile lies the National Trust Chirk Castle and grounds, which was once the home of the Myddelton family for over 400 years.

Four miles away lies the small town of Chirk, which has a delightful selection of shops, cafes and pubs, whilst six miles north lies Llangollen, renowned for the surrounding hills and the River Dee, with a Victorian Promenade, Riverside Park and a range of water sport activities.

Snowdonia National Park is less than 30 miles away and is where you can enjoy a great range of outdoor adventure, whilst the walled city of Chester, home to a great range of independent shops, a striking Cathedral, popular racecourse and selection of eateries, can be reached in 26 miles. Choose Y Caban for a delightful retreat, whatever time of year.
