Reviews of Pengwern
"Just returned as a group after spending a winter break in the Berwyn Mountains. Pengwern was brilliant- spacious and comfortable with plenty to entertain the whole gang from 60 weeks to 70 years of age. Play room was extensively used by the kids leaving the adults to relax in the cosy lounge with a log fire or play snooker and indulge in the bar area. Location is ideal for the whole Berwyn mountain range with walking to and from the door. Will return for more."

"We had a great two night stay in Pengwern over the May bank holiday weekend. The house grounds are very spacious and surrounded by beautifully scenic views. The landlady, Caroline, is incredibly helpful and friendly - she greeted us on arrival and continued to be of help throughout our stay. All of the rooms are well-equipped, warm and clean. The snooker room is awesome; not only is the snooker table in fantastic condition, the room is also complimented with a bar, darts board, TV and sound system. There's an additional smaller games room above the kitchen which has a pool table, Wii console and music equipment. The kitchen is well-stocked and the dinning table comfortably seats 12 adults. There's an additional dinning room (which we didn't need to use) and a cosy lounge room with a traditional fire place - all of which contribute the house being a perfect country rental property. The local pub (The New Inn) is only a five minute walk from the house. It's friendly and the locals were very welcoming, considering we were a group of 14 males. I would certainly recommend!"

"We travelled as a party of 13 - (9 adults, 4 children) Pengwern is a fantastic home from home and Caroline (the owner) has made sure guests can enjoy & discover the house and the surrounding area with ease & comfort. The secure bike store, boot room & drying room ensure you can experience the great outdoors and all your clothing, footwear and equipment is safe, dry and accessible. The snooker room/bar area became a daily activity to look forward to after long days of exploring/walking and sight seeing and apart from going to the local put to watch the football on BT Sports we really wouldn't have had to leave the comfort of the house after our days out. It has everything you need. Great music collection (to suit all tastes, loads of DVD's to watch and a lovely patio area to sit out in to enjoy the sights & sounds of the stunning surroundings. The games room for the children has everything your children could wish for (their own space) being one of them - our children had hours of fun in there and it's a brilliant addition to a magnificent country home. There are detailed walks/bike rides in a folder in the house which were really useful and the owner has taken time & consideration in making these as informative as possible. The area itself is just stunning - lots of walks & bike rides from the house, sheep/lamps outside your front door and a wood and mini mountain to climb right on your doorstep, no need to take the car out (unless you run out of supplies) so as long as you plan ahead you really can escape the hustle & bustle of everyday life. We arranged for an online shop from Asda to deliver our shopping which was extremely useful as the nearest supermarket is in Oswestry which is quite a distance away from Pengwern. The kitchen/cooking facilities have everything you need and there is lots of space around the two tables to accommodate multiple guests at meal times. We will definitely be returning - we had the best time and from several houses we've stayed at previously - Pengwern ticked all the boxes :)"

"It was a tough decision for all the family to decide which cottage we were to spend celebrating my 40th birthday celebration in. We had at least 10 great cottages to choose from which ticked all the boxes. I can honestly say we made the best decision, this cottage exceeded our expectations more than we could of imagined, 4 families all under one roof and everyone had their own preference on where to be, kids in the pool/games room adults in the snooker room sitting around the mini bar and some enjoying a quiet movie around the log burner in the lounge. Caroline was so very helpful, even weeks before we stayed at the cottage Caroline had given me heaps of information regarding biking trails in the area. Which literally stared from the doorstep. The kids are crazy about wildlife, so for them to able to sit out on the tree swing amongst the sheep meant the were out there rain or shine in their element! I personally have never missed a place so much once being back home, really was a dream lifestyle come true! All the families will be returning next year."
