We also had suzanne cook for us which was amazing! A beautiful meal cooked for us all. The owners of the house past her details to me. I would highly recommend it.

"This was booked for a hen weekend for 20 and whilst the photos looked amazing on arrival I realised they did not do the cottage justice. It is in an ideal peaceful location, the property is of an exceptional high standard for every aspect from size, decoration and furnishings. Everything is catered for, BEAUTIFUL"

"well... what can i say.. this has definitely been a week to remember and it was at the perfect idyllic setting..CASTELL COURTYARD.. The owners have thought of everything, it was so clean and very very comfortable, my husband and i slept really well and we even ventured into the hot tub. Ordered shopping online and was delivered with no problem. ventured out on a country walk which was right at the top of the drive way and walked down to the nearest village, not so bad walking down but you definitely need energy to walk back up, drove into Oswestry which was also lovely, it waa such a special occasion but the beutiful accommodation made it. The owners were so friendly and even invited the children to feed the new lambs,(think this is only because of the time of year so please dont be disappointed if not available when you visit). I would give this place 6 stars if i could.."

"24 Ladies had a fabulous weekend here for a hen party. Such a beautiful house with plenty of space for all of us. Nearly every room has an ensuite or two rooms sharing a bathroom at the most which was brilliant for us. So tastefully decorated it really felt luxurious with all the kitchen facilities as well. We partied all weekend and enjoyed time in the hotub which was fab. We ventured out to Ffestiniog and did the Titan Zipwire which was brilliant. We used the recommended caterers for Saturday evening which was a brilliant idea- great food and great service. Everyone loved it especially the bride to be."

The owners who live in the farm house across the way were so helpful and the cottage itself was out of this world. The whole place was faultless and immaculately clean. The lovely hot tub was a great little extra to sit and relax in on the cold evenings. We would highly recommend."

"The location was beautiful. This barn conversion was very roomy and exceptionally clean with everything you needed and a hot tub too. On arrival two bottles of Prosecco were left in the kitchen. 20 family and friends stayed for a 50th birthday bash from Friday to Monday. If anyone want to celebrate away from home with family and friend then this is the place to be. One guest left an IPad which was sent back by the owner the same day. We all had a great stay and are hoping to go again for the next big family party. Perfect place,"

"We visited Castell Courtyard for 3 birthday celebrations. It is set in beautiful surroundings. The cottage has lots of space and is really clean and well maintained. The hot tub is large and the seating area under cover near the hot tub is great for anyone not wanting to use the hot tub but still socialise. I would definitely recommend Castell Courtyard."

The location was peaceful & only a short drive or walk to local, amenities in the beautiful village of Llanrhaeadr Ym Mochnant, some of our more energetic members walked to the top of the waterfall!

"There was 20 women in this house on a hen party. It never felt crowded, every room was decorated and furnished to the highest standard. The kitchen was huge in the centre of the house. With sitting rooms at either end of it. Theres a laundry room, with shoes to wear when going in the jaccuzzi, which was fab. There are 3 stair cases leading to the bedrooms. Beds are comfortable. Some rooms have ensuite It was about 3 miles to the town. Great for parties or family get togethers. I would recommend this house"

"Just back from a family get together 22-29 SEP 2017 with 17 of us spanning 4 generations meeting up. The place is absolutely stunning being very modern while retaining many original features. The owners, Helen and Aled, have thought of absolutely everything with some lovely touches including a couple of bottles of fizz to toast our arrival. The bedrooms are fantastic with luxurious bedding and feather duvets to ensure a great night's sleep. Spent a lot of time in the hot tub which was a fantastic bonus. Plenty to see and do nearby most within a 45 minutes drive. We've had several family get-togethers over the years and have always tried different places but Castell Courtyard probably tops the lot and will be extremely hard to better. Thanks again Helen and Aled, I somehow think we will be seeing you again sometime."

We had a caterer (I cook for you) in for the Saturday night and on the Sunday for afternoon tea. The food on both occasions was so delicious.

"What a fabulous place. We have just returned from a stay at Castell Courtyard, for half term week, a group of 10 adults and 8 children (teenagers). The place is huge, plenty of space so you never feel on top of one another, bedrooms are in three separate wings plus two lounges with log burning stoves ; the children took over the smaller lounge which has smart TV. Everything is really good quality (Even Jo Malone diffuser) they have thought of everything that you could possibly need. The pictures on the website really don't do it justice, it is large enough to lose yourself. Only comments would be that a games room (snooker/air hockey etc) would have been could to keep kids entertained as there isn't anywhere outside to play football/cricket etc (I would probably change downstairs bedroom near door) however having said this they really did entertain themselves with hide and seek etc. Thanks for fab time.

"We had a family holiday at Castell Courtyard for my mum's 80th birthday, with several branches of our family (aged from 7 months to 80 years) together for the first time for ages. The house was fantastic - finished to an excellent standard, and really spacious. It rained for the first 3 days so we couldn't get out much, yet the spacious feel meant that no-one got cabin-fever. The house (and owners) happily accommodated a baby, toddler and young children safely, as well as superb accessible rooms for older members of our party, with plenty of entertainment for everyone in between. The owners had thought of pretty much everything we could want or need. The hot tub was also a massive hit.

"I have just returned from the most amazing weekend staying at Castell Courtyard. There were 15 of us altogether and it was for my hen/birthday weekend. The place just blew us all away, I saw the photos before we went and thought it looked gorgeous but its fantastic! Very recently converted into a stunning property that wants for nothing. The owners have been very helpful throughout, advising us on eating places and local attractions. We ordered an Asda delivery shop which turned up before we arrived, the owners had taken it in for us and even put the food in the fridge and freezer. A lovely touch was the vase of fresh roses and 2 bottles of Prosecco left for us on the counter! The property is extremely well equipped, kitchen wise, they have everything and enough of everything to accommodate large groups. All the appliances seemed to be top of the range. The place in general was very clean, very comfortable and very well decorated with lots of finishing touches. We didnt even need to use the wood burning stoves as it was nice and warm anyway. The bedrooms are fab, some had ensuites and some didnt, the ones that didn't however, only shared a bathroom between 2 rooms anyway, so it was never an issue. Plenty of comfortable seating lounge areas, big widescreen tvs, playstation etc etc! The hot tub is out of this world, can comfortably fit 9/10 in at one time and was all ready and up to temperature for when we arrived, we definitley got our use out of it! I did a bit of research before we went and managed to find a Caterer from nearby Oswestry, who I can highly recommend, she came on the Saturday night and cooked us a 3 course meal which was superb, there were 4 of them in total, so it was full waitressing service and they fully cleared up after too. All pots washed and put away. Another recommendation would be a pub which was 8 miles away, The Green Inn at LLangedwyn (also recommended by the owners) we went on Sunday afternoon and it was really good food and fab service. I have already been looking at availability for Castell Courtyard for going again, but its pretty booked up for the rest of the year! I think I can speak for all 15 of us when we say we would definitley return!"

The house is actually bigger then it looks in the photographs and has been designed / decorated beautifully. Super clean, super comfortable, luxurious, light, airy, super warm and cosy - just perfect for our winter break with our friends.
